Weir’s Final Show Tonight
Channel 7 sports anchor Bill Weir has confirmed that tonight will be his last broadcast for the station. Weir had announced in May that he would not be renewing his contract, which expires in September, and would be pursuing other interests.
Rob Fukuzaki will replace Weir as the No. 1 sports anchor and Curt Sandoval will move up to Fukuzaki’s weekend spot. Fukuzaki will replace Weir as the host of “Monday Night Live.”
Weir said he taped two pilots for a half-hour show called “The Late Game,” but the shows were not picked up by USA Network.
“I’m weighing a couple of different options right now,” Weir said. “I should know within a few months what I’ll be doing next.”
