Apparently, Jamie Costello of WMAR has a lot of fans online.

Originally, I blogged about reports that Costello was leaving the morning anchor job to go to evenings and Charles Crowson was coming to town from Arkansas to take over the morning job.

This was later confirmed by a DCRTV report that I blogged about. Since then, there have been numerous comments on that post decrying the changes.

One commenter said, “Jamie Costello is the only reason I continue to watch WMAR TV at all.”

That same commenter went on to say, “Jamie, with his unique personality and ability to get along with everyone, will be sorely missed in the morning. I hope viewers will be able to continue seeing him at times other than just 11:00 pm.”

Another comment: “Jamie Costello and Megan Pringles are the best, I would love to see Jamie in the morning again with Megan is a great way to wake up with two wonderful people like these two.”

Other commenters seem to indicate Costello wasn’t happy about the move, but provide no proof of this. All of the commenters in general seem to want Costello back on the morning news.

DCRTV gets confirmation from WMAR News Director Kelly Groft about changes we earlier tipped you about. Jamie Costello is moving from mornings to nights at Baltimore’s Channel 2. He’s been on Sunday nights for a while but will move to the Sunday through Thursday spot in the coming weeks and will co-anchor the 11 PM news with Kelly Swoope. Also, as we told you, Charley Crowson has joined WMAR from a Little Rock TVer. He started Monday and will soon be joining the “Good Morning Maryland” team. He’ll report with 2′s “GMM” team next week and then hit the anchor desk with Megan Pringle on November 19th…..
