The Laurel has learned Fox 61 has decided to replace the station’s Sunday morning public affairs show – The Real Story – with “other programming.” This past weekend’s show was the last according to sources close to the station.
We have also learned that Emma Wulfhorst – Fox 61’s political reporter – is no longer with the station. Her last day was Friday of last week. She was with Fox 61 for approximately three years.
Sunday morning public affairs shows have come and gone and returned in the Hartford/New Haven market over the decades. They are considered prestigious, an important means of communication for local political leaders, and coveted assignments for those who host the shows, but they often suffer low ratings.
During the history of The Real Story, the list of hosts included, but was not limited to; Shelly Sindland, Jenn Bernstein, and Al Terzi.
