Third former ABC12 employee on the national stage. I see Gabe Gutierrez almost daily as a Today Show (and NBC Nightly News) correspondent. And former weekend sports anchor Reese Davis has been on ESPN for quite a while

Fourth at least. Maureen Maher used to anchor the morning news. She's now a 48 Hours correspondent at CBS.

Linsey, Gabe, Reece and Maureen were all hired by Jim Bleicher... the last real news Director this market has seen.
