OPB: Baer to Political Beat, Foden-Vencil to Morning Edition

Submitted by LynnS on Thu, 04/03/2008 - 6:02pm.

WWire is reporting that OPB's congenial Morning Edition host April Baer will be moving to cover departed political reporter Colin Fogarty's beat. Sliding into her empty anchor chair will be Kristian Foden-Vencil (you can bet I looked that one up carefully and I'm still not sure I've got it right):

Foden-Vencil and Portland Mercury reporter Matt Davis are perhaps the local media's most out-of-the-closet Brits. Of course, Foden-Vencil is known for his accent, whereas Davis is known for his singular charm.

OPB news director Morgan Holm told WWire the switcheroo starts 4/7/08, and that a new reporting position will be posted soon-ish.
