WSEE-TV anchor in the doghouse
Erie-Meadville: WSEE-TV (35) anchor Pat Van Zandt has announced that she's leaving the Erie CBS affiliate at the end of this week to help provide therapy dogs.
Van Zandt wrote on her blog: "I have been blessed with an opportunity to enter the nonprofit sector in an agency I formed from the ground up. It will give me a chance to bring therapy dogs to some of Erie's most needy --- the elderly, the sick, or anyone who can benefit from a friendly pooch paired with a gracious volunteer."
Van Zandt's agency is called Therapy Dogs United.
There's also a story about Van Zandt's new vocation in the Times-News.
A graduate of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, Van Zandt has been at WSEE-TV for seven years.
Van Zandt wrote earlier this month that she knows who her replacement is, but is "not at liberty" to reveal the name.
"I can tell you --- you will find her presence to be an outstanding addition to our anchor team and the WSEE family," she said.

It’s a shame Pat is leaving …
Oh well, just the further erosion of the Erie broadcast market.

I remember when Pat first started at 35. I was her Morning Camera man.
I taught her how to wear her mic.
I hope she remembers what I taught her.
Iam glad she is finally getting out of the NULL-ZONE (thats the ERIE TV market)
Godspeed Pat.
