Autria Godfrey, Jummy Olabanji to Co-Anchor WJLA Morning Newscasts

Washington, D.C. ABC affiliate WJLA is shuffling anchors for its morning newscast, our sister site FishbowlDC reports.

After just 10 months at the anchor desk, Scott Thuman is moving back into his previous role as senior political reporter. In a strange turn of events, Thuman will be replaced by Autria Godfrey(pictured), who is his ex-wife. Godfrey will anchor alongside Jummy Olabanji, who has been filling in on the morning newscast since Cynne Simpson left WJLA.

“Together they make a lively, engaging and intelligent team,” WJLA general manager Bill Lord wrote in a note to staffers. “…I want to thank Scott Thuman for his hard work and dedication to hosting and helping out in a myriad of ways on Good Morning Washington.”
