Andy Treinen, the temp

Finally tracked down Andy Treinen, the former Channel 19 weekend anchor who popped up on Channel 19 Saturday night anchoring the news. Treinen says he’s just doing fill-in work for a few days this month while looking for a full-time anchor gig. He left Milwaukee’s NBC station when his three-year contract was up earlier this year, and decided to move back to the house he still owns in Cheviot. It’s a mutually beneficial arrangement with WXIX-TV, which needs a weekend anchor to replace Gene Cox (now at the Indianapolis Fox station) while Regina Russo is on maternity leave. Treinen says he’s looking for an anchor job somewhere in the Midwest. He's not really interested in returning to Ch. 19 as weekend anchor/reporter, the job he left 3 years ago.

Hurray for Capt. Spaulding!
