Win Fights It Out to the End

It seems Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Paper Trails writer Linda Caillouet has the skinny on what went down that apparently got KTHV Anchor Win Noble in hot water. Here is what is in today's column:

"Paper Trails can now report there’s more to the story of KTHV-Channel 11 weekend anchorman Win Noble’s recent absence. While his profanity- and violence-laced www.myspace.com blog apparently raised eyebrows with his bosses, there was more.

Noble’s recent behavior in public was also a concern. A manager working April 8 at an upscale Hillcrest bar and restaurant in a converted Beechwood Street bungalow confirms Noble was involved in a fight.

The manager says Noble and a regular who was a stranger to Noble ended up out in the street as others watched from the porch. The manager says she called police, but Noble left minutes before they arrived.

KTHV hasn’t had Noble on the air since the weekend of April 15, but his bio remains on the station’s Web site. Will he return? Station executives still aren’t talking."
