Mike Smith, Weekend Sports Anchor, to Be Replaced by Miami’s Brad Lewis
Weekend sports anchor Mike Smith is out at Channel 4, and the station has already hired a replacement.
Tom Capra, Channel 4’s news director, confirmed Tuesday that Bret Lewis, a Miami, Fla., sportscaster, will replace Smith.
Lewis will begin his new job in late March or early April.
Lewis, 40, has been the No. 1 sports anchor for WSVN, the NBC affiliate in Miami, the past four years. He previously worked at KSFW, the CBS affiliate in Dallas, which is Lewis’ hometown.
Smith came to Channel 4 from San Diego about two years ago, but never made much of an impact in the Los Angeles market. Channel 4 chose to not renew his contract, which expires in April.
