Ch 50 weatherman Al Kaprelian laid off

Of course this begs the question of when WZMY will be sold or go dark. I'm shocked that Al hung on this long after Shooting Star took over. I wouldn't be surprised if the the MyTV affiliation goes over to WFXT on a digital subchannel (just like WNAC is doing in the Providence market) shoud there be an issue with channel 50. Before channel 50 signed as the Boston-area affiliate the plan was to run the MyTV programming middays on WFXT.
