WWL-TV's Rob Nelson moving up to the nationals

Posted by Kevin Allman on Wed, May 12, 2010 at 8:21 PM

WWL-TV news guy Rob Nelson -- past president of the New Orleans Press Club and the funniest emcee in the city -- announced on his Facebook page today that he's heading to New York City at the end of the month to become coanchor of ABC News' overnight World News Now.

Nelson, a former Times-Pic reporter, has been working at WWL since 2007, often on the morning news (where he sometimes matched wits with Gambit's Noah Bonaparte Pais on the Thursday "3-Day Weekend" report).

Nice guy and good newsman. We'll miss you, Rob, but New Orleans' loss is New York's gain. Congrats.

Speaking of...

  • Brett Anderson not to New York Times

    The Times-Pic dining critic, who was a finalist for the open critic's spot at The New York Times, is passed over in favor of Times food editor Pete Wells.

Congrats to Mr. Nelson. I've always enjoyed him on the morning show and wish him the best on the big move.
