Showing Straight Up Class in Phoenix (Patreon)

Back in June, FTVLive FIRST told you that Kaley O'Kelley, who had left KTVT in Dallas as the main Anchor was returning to Phoenix and Scripps owned KNXV as the Morning Anchor. 

Scripps was so excited to land O'Kelley and a number of bosses acted like they won the lottery when the station landed her. 

But, while there was all this excitement in the hiring of O'Kelley, the one person that was screwed over was Danielle Lerner (pictured above).

Lerner was the morning Anchor, but when the station signed O'Kelley, Lerner was demoted to the Weekend shift of Anchoring. 

While many of the big egos in this business would have stomped and whined, insiders tell FTVLive that Lerner has handled this entire thing with class. 

"She was shit on and she did not let it get her down," said one station insider to FTVLive. 

In a twist of irony, Lerner was also recently nominated for an Emmy for Best Anchor. 

Let's hope KNXV's Kaley O'Kelley publicity stunt works, because they kicked a class Anchor down the food chain and if I was Lerner I would be looking to leave for a place I'm more appreciated when my contract came up. 

Just saying....
