And Paul Moyer, veteran L.A. anchorperson, rides off into the sunset.

Paul Moyer, who, until recently was KNBC Channel 4's co-anchor (along with Colleen Williams), has now officially left the station: http://www.laobserved.com/archive/2009/04/paul_moyer_officially_don.php#email

Moyer, who was an embodiment of the conservative-leaning, sometimes-overstated anchorman type beloved by Los Angeles TV station managers (see also Jerry Dunphy, Hal Fishman, Harold Greene), is now replaced by aging, blow-dried Chuck Henry (best known for his long-ago stint hosting KABC's fluffy EYE ON L.A.)--referred to as a "seasoned street reporter" in one memorable KNBC ad.

But KNBC is cut-cut-cutting budget, explaining Moyer's departure and the dumb decision to get rid of the Sacramento bureau.
