Anchor Desk Changes at KTAL

Well there seems to be a shake up at KTAL, Channel 6 in Shreveport. Lane Stone, the co-anchor of the 5pm, 6pm and 10pm news is out and from what I can put together from the station's website, Heidi York is the new co-anchor.

Heidi comes to KTAL from WWAY in Wilmington, North Carolina. Her archived WWAY bio says, she was the anchor of "Good Morning Carolina". She's a native of Greenville, South Carolina, but spent much of her life living in Ohio. She studied Journalism at The Ohio State University, and Radio/TV Broadcasting at The Ohio Center for Broadcasting."

I'll be tuned into KTAL at 6pm to see if she pops up next to Shawn Patrick.

Anyone know what happened to Lane Stone?

UPDATE: 6:05pm Shawn is anchoring solo tonight.

UPDATE: 8:20pm Well it could be Lane Stone is off to Denver where she will be marrying former KSLA reporter Eli Stokols. This article in the Christmas Edition of The Shreveport Times says the couple hosted an engagement party over the holidays. Stone's fiancée now works for the WB Network in Denver.
