New Weeknight Anchor Lineup Coming to NBC10

Patrice Wood and Gene Valicenti to anchor two weeknight shows again

Starting August 24th NBC10 will have an almost completely new weekday anchor lineup. The only shows not seeing changes right now are the noon, 6, and 11.

Here is what station insiders say the new lineup will be:

NBC10 News Sunrise: Frank Coletta, Alison Bologna

NBC10 News at Noon: Frank Coletta

NBC10 News at 5: Patrice Wood, Gene Valicenti

NBC10 News at 5:30: Dan Jaehnig, Emily Volz

NBC10 News at 6: Patrice Wood, Gene Valicenti

NBC10 News at 7:  Dan Jaehnig, Emily Volz

NBC10 News at 11: Patrice Wood, Dan Jaehnig

These are major changes for NBC10 which does not see anchor moves very often. Valicenti has been on the 5:30 since the late 1990's and spent much of that time as a solo anchor in the 2000's. Alison Bologna rejoined WJAR in 2010 to help launch the very successful 7PM news.

While some might say this is a major risk for NBC10. The stations ratings remain high and new owner Sinclair continues to invest in the station as it battles Lin/Media General Flagship WPRI.
