NBC Miami Reporter Moves to Philadelphia Station

By Kevin Eck 

Philadelphia NBC-owned station WCAU has hired Johnny Archer as a reporter and anchor.

This is a move within NBC stations for Archer, who comes from WTVJ in Miami, where he was a general assignment reporter and weekend anchor.

“I am thrilled to be reporting in Philadelphia,” said Archer, who starts Monday, Dec. 13. “I might be a little biased because Philly is my hometown, but I think Philadelphians are some of the greatest people in the world.”
