KTHV Evaluating Morning Show Options

As reported here first, KTHV Morning co-host Alyson Courtney has quit the station and is moving to KATV to host Daybreak. Of course Courtney will be off the air for 6 months due to a non-compete clause in her KTHV contract. In the meantime, Channel 11 News Director Chuck Maulden tells Arkansas Business.com, "We really are going to evaluate the best course of action moving forward, and I'm not sure what we're going to do. Right now Melissa Dunbar Gates is going to expand her morning duties so the newscast won't miss a beat. We've been reviewing our morning show for quite a while, like any business. "We will figure out what to do next and move on."
