It’s not every day that a TV news director can cram five new hires into a single tweet. But that was the case Monday with KTLA’s Jason Ball:

The two biggest names are of course the KTTV FOX 11 tandem of Courtney Friel and Jillian Barberie. When we spoke to Friel a couple of months ago, she said her priority was to spend some quiet time at home with husband Carter Evans. Apparently, either the novelty of that wore off or the KTLA offer was just too good to pass up.

Courtney Friel Says Goodbye to KTTV

As entertainment reporter Courtney Friel bids farewell today to FOX 11 after six years with the station and sister network, she says her first priority will be some quiet time this weekend at home with husband Carter Evans. Her CBS News spouse is now also infamously known as the journalist who got caught in some very intense and scary Big Bear/Christopher Dorner crossfire.

“I knew when I was moving out to Los Angeles that it was always the plan for me to just finish out the last year of my FNC contract at KTTV,” she tells FishbowlLA via email. “My husband and I really wanted to move back to LA to raise our family, and Roger Ailes was so gracious to allow this to happen.”

“It’s been such an honor to work with KTTV and FOX News Channel for the past six years and I really appreciate all the love, support, and guidance I received,” she adds. “I have a few projects I’ll be working on and look forward to exploring more entertainment opportunities both within television news and other alternative entertainment programming platforms.”

FOX News Hires Blonde As “Journalist”

Our brother-blog, TVNewser, has gone horn-dog post-wild over FNC’s new hire, Courtney Friel. She’s introduced as a journalist, which we think is super-cute. Hosting the World Poker Tour is way more fun than doing all that boring news stuff!

And here’s her big tip for all you budding journos out there:

buy the photographers beer to entice them to shoot your standups and edit packages .I ended up with a fabulous resume tape!

Or rather, a reel shot by drunks, who would comprise her fan base. She also tells Maxim readers that “girls should use their looks.”

Her interests include Fun, Sun, Beach and learning to spell.
