Shreveport Station Responds to Where its Missing Anchor Is

KTAL/Channel 6/Shreveport has posted a response on its facebook page to questions viewers have had concerning the debut of the new anchors and the absence of Michelle White.  Here's the post:

Wanted to catch everyone up on what’s going on in the newsroom. Many of you have noticed our new anchor Jacque Jovic, who debuted on NBC 6 News this week. Wanted to catch everyone up on what’s going on in the newsroom. Many of you have noticed our new anchor Jacque Jovic, who debuted on NBC 6 News this week. The feedback on her contribution to the newsroom has been great (which doesn’t surprise us) but it has brought up the question of ‘where’s Michelle?’

Michelle is off this week, but will be back on Monday. When she returns she will be moving to new hours here at KTAL, and will be working during the day. Michelle and Nick will continue to anchor our newscasts at 5 and 6, with Jacque and Nick anchoring the 10. As you can imagine, Michelle is looking forward to having evenings off for the first time in several years.
 

We hope you’ll join us in welcoming Jacque on board at NBC 6 News, as well as wishing Michelle the best as she moves to more ‘normal’ hours.
 

By the way, you may also have noticed our new AM co-anchor Dan Jovic, who has joined Leslie Draffin and Patrick Dennis on NBC 6 Today. And yes you’re correct—Dan and Jaque have the same last names. They are married, and are enjoying settling into life in the ArkLaTex together.
