NBC10 lets another anchor go, Dawn Timmeney was not renewed

NBC 10 sheds another anchor.

Dawn Timmeney, who anchored the 4 and 5:30 p.m. newscast worked her last day at the station on Friday.

Timmeney, who worked at NBC10 for nearly 12 years, was not renewed by the station, which we reported recently had also chosen not to renew Tim Lake.

NBC 10 news director Anzio Williams emailed staff another generic statement about a veteran staffer's departure, as he did after Lake's final newscast.

"In her 12 years at NBC 10 Dawn Timmeney has worn many hats in different dayparts. Please join me in wishing Dawn the very best as she moves forward.

Timmeney did not return a request for comment.

    wcau always treats their talent like meat, they show them no love and they are forced to work in horrid conditions, i liked dawn and she has had her fair share of grief from this station, let's hope either kyw or wpvi of wtxf picks here up because she is a fixture in the city and it would be a sin to let her leave like that

    I can't believe they got rid of both Tim and Dawn. Tim was screwing up a lot in his reporting, so I guess I can understand that one, but Dawn. She was so real and you could really relate to her. She never seemed like she was faking her reaction to reports. Tracy Davidson is the one that should have gone. She is so fake and hard to relate to. I have found myself watching ABC more and more, especially because of what The Today Show did to Ann Curry. I can't stand Savannah Guthrie, so I watch GMA in the morning. Now without Dawn, Tim, and Terry Ruggles retiring, I may start watching 6ABC for my news in the afternoon and at night. I watch 6ABC at noontime now. I will have to really think about this because I do believe that Hurricane in the best weather reporter in the area.

    Unreal. Letting a very good reporter go yet they keep Philly's worst weather person in Glenn Schwartz. I don't get it. Now hearing their ads about feeling the force. What childish thing is this. Fire Glenn and your audience will come back. That's the only force I want from NBC 10.

    I liked Tim and Dawn. NBC 10.. in fact the network in general.. is going down. Terry Ruggles' replacement in the morning is drab.
