Jared Pliner Promoted to Weekend Anchor at WPRI

WPRI reporter Jared Pliner has reportedly been promoted to weekend anchor at the CBS/FOX affiliate. Pliner said the anchoring would be a "regular gig" in a tweet to a viewer. 

Pliner will anchor the Saturday 6 and 11 on WPRI-12, the Sunday 6:30 and 11 on WPRI-12, and weekends at 10 on WNAC FOX Providence. Pliner joined eyewitness news earlier this year and already has a reputation as a solid reporter who is very comfortable in front of the camera both live in the field and in the studio.

Before coming to Providence Pliner worked for two years at WVII/WFVX as a weeknight anchor and a reporter.
