Greg Kelly is heading back to “Good Day New York.”
Kelly, who left “GDNY” last June to co-anchor Ch. 5’s 10 p.m. newscast, will rejoin Rosanna Scotto on the morning beat starting today.
Dave Price, who joined “GDNY” six months ago, is already gone. He asked to be let out of his contract, according to insiders.
“I had a great experience returning to Fox 5, but it is time to look for opportunities outside WNYW,” Price said in a statement. “I love Rosanna and the gang and wish them all the best.”
“We appreciate all of Dave’s contributions and wish him the best in his future endeavors,” Ch. 5 VP/GM Lew Leone said in a statement.
Kelly will be replaced at 6 and 10 p.m. by Steve Lacy, who’s been anchoring Ch. 5’s early-morning newscasts.
“We are excited to welcome Greg back to ‘Good Day,’ ” Leone said. “He has proven he has the versatility to anchor a prime-time newscast and an unscripted morning show — a rare and valuable quality.
“This, combined with his fun, spontaneous and inquisitive style, make him the perfect fit for this role.”
Kelly previously co-anchored “GDNY” with Scotto for four years.
Lacy will be replacedfrom 4:30 to 7 a.m. by Antwan Lewis, at least for now.
