News anchor Randy Price resigns from Channel 7

I am surprised. I like Randy Price. I always thought he had integrity. I watched the station because of him...Thanks, Randy. We will miss You. Good luck with the next chapter.

GOODBYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE. The other part of his life. breeding dogs is something I know about and a dear friend has one of his "throw aways"..

Randy Price is the only thing WHDH had going for it. Ever since they tried to change the market here by ushering in the Florida-style empty newscasts that cared more about snazzy sets then quality newscasting Channel 7 has been a joke, ratings or no ratings. People here want newscasters they trust and real substance, not "Entertainment Tonight"/"Extra" style crap.

Price will land large and, hopefully when he does, squash Ed Asnin's loser ass.

Time for Randy to come out of the closet.

Resigned? Sounds like he was fired to me. Why didn't the reporter write that?
I liked Randy Price. He was the only reason left to watch the station.

Randy Price your awesome! You are an amazing and inspirational story. I hope your next career move proves more satisfying!

This is too bad! Randy Price is my favorite newscaster and I really looked forward to his broadcasts. You will be missed.

Sad. Price was a good anchor. Channel 7 has become a joke though. Most of their staff hasn't completed puberty and the writers come up with news story titles like this morning's "Tainted Teethers" about baby medicine. Never mind the on-screen typos that they run all the time under the video. It is, though, very high production for a high school news program.

"we need to move in different directions" mean we need to hire yet another 20 something nobody who looks pretty on camera. This is a disgrace and I will no longer watch channel 7 news. Randy Price gave that station class and dignity and they don;t seem to care about viewers older that 25 years old. Shame on channel 7.

What a shame. Randy gave Channel 7 class. He balanced out some of the over-the-top razzmatazz. He's one of the few local news anchors who doesn't seems like a cartoon parody of the anchor person. He's real and, well, Channel 7 isn't. Randy, you're not too old, you're just too smart for the goo heads Channel 7 wants as its audience.

Randy Price is a real class act. I will really miss him.

Good luck to you Randy.
We will miss you. You are a class act!

What direction other than down does WHDH want to move in? Please- end the cheese!

Gee... I wonder what 12-year-old will replace him? Randy Price is (or was) one of the few on-air staff at Ch 7 with any gravitas. The station is pathetic, covering car chases and tool shed fires thousands of miles away. If it bleeds or burns, it leads on Ch 7. And the kiddie staff is like watching ZOOM news. Just one more reason to cancel cable altogether and junk the television. Good luck, Randy.

This is a shame. Channel 7 wasnts to "move in a different direction" which means bring in another 20 something no-talent pretty face to read the news.
Randy has style, class and brought sophistication and credibility to an over produced, third-rate newscast. He was the only reason I watched that channel and now the reason I will no longer. This is age discriminiation at it's finest!

Randy Price is the man! Best of luck to him and his future.

Looks like NECN will have a new anchor soon

I am really saddened to see such a distinguished professional leave WHDH news department. Randy Price has done so much for the station as well as the community. I felt that when Randy was reporting something he was honest & assuring, that we got the correct information. As a "talking head" perhaps this is not the best use of this experienced journalist. The station has a lot of young reporters who could benefit from Randy's experience. Surely an "emeritus" status & his doing some in-depth stories would be beneficial for the station as well as their staff. This feels like the day Tim Russert died...where will I find the information I need to get answers?

WBZ has made a number of misguided decisions in the past few years. Cold and cruel. Ed Ansin should go.

The real problem is that Ed does not know how to properly solve a number of issues - so he thrashes about in the dark making one insidious decision after another while nothing imptoves.
Running a broadcast is not a poker game. Real skill is necessary.

This is an absolute shame. Channel 7 is going down the tubes; Randy Price was the last true journalist there. Now Channel 7 is nothing but T&A. Shame on them for forcing him out.

They will be sorry. Channel 7 keeps bring in all new faces when people like to see somene thats been around a while. Good Luck Randy.

Go over to Channel 5, Randy. They treat people better over there. We know that Channel 4 doesn't.

Class act. We will miss him. We wish him success at his next venture.

Randy and Frances were a great team

The problem with news on "The News Station" is not Randy Price, who is as professional and talented as any anchor in any market of this size. The problem is that NBC and its affiliates play the same damn news over and over again. How many times do I want to here that woman who had octuplets explaining her moronic reasoning. How many times should I get to hear Christian Bale rant? You could hear both of those things at least 8-10 times on Channel 7. Enough. I love the NBC Evening News but eventually I just have to change the channel.. If you can't come up with more news, have less news programming.

Wow, huge mistake for Channel 7!! I only pause clicking when I see Randy at the desk, such class, dignity and intellectual reporting. The babes and cads not my cuppa! Good luck Randy and I look forward to seeing you in the future bigger and, you cannot be, but better>

I hate to see Randy go. He's one of the best news reporters in Boston along with Jonathan Hall. Channel 7 only wants pretty faces.

WHDH is way too glitzy for my tastes. I always thought Price stood out from all the other "young, gorgeous people" on the newscast. As a WBZ viewer, I love that their newscasters talk and look like actual Bostonians. WHDH reminds me of a local FoxNews program. They need to spend less on their graphics and techno-music and more on solid, approachable newscasting delivered by people that actually have personalities. I think this is a blessing in disguise for Price, and unless he just retires I hope he finds a home with a more likable news program!

Wow!!! I can't believe it. I love Randy - he is the anchor I most connected to. The suddenness and unexpected nature of his leaving is troubling. He didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to his viewers ...

i didn't know he was gay.....

A very good anchor and a complete class act. Randy Price will be missed on the Boston airwaves.

So is "move in another direction" code for younger and straight?

Good luck to him. They get paid a lot of dough to read the news, but the down side is that when you become expendable, that's it. The other thing is that you're such a public figure that when you lose your job, everyone knows about it.
I don't get much news from TV, but I respect the guy for coming right out and saying what happened. No drama, no fanfare, it is what it is. Unlike when someone else gets canned, for this guy, it's page one. He's had a good run, 12 years, and not everyone (few) can hang around like Dick Albert.

Sorry to see you go Randy - your a "Touch of Class"! I enjoyed your calm delivery if the news. Good Luck - I know you will surface with another interesting chapter to your life.

Randy's work with the Cocker Spaniel Rescue League of New England has been invaluable. He's a good guy and a solid person. He'll be missed.

Mr. Price, I would just like you to know how much I enjoyed
your work on the 2 Boston stations. They are making a very big
mistake, changing your contract. Sometimes more experience,
is a plus in the job. thank you for all your years in Boston

Randy was a great anchor - best wishes to him.

Good luck, Randy - you're a pro's pro. See ya on the next go-round!

I remember watching him inappropriately blurt out that he was gay on WBZ one evening when I was a kid, and lo and behold he was gone within a day or two. But, okay, it was because he got pinched for DUI. If you say so.

Randy Price will be greatly missed - one of the few genuine souls on tv today.

Class act. Too bad... I wish him all the best for his future. He seems to be a great guy and will do well in whatever he chooses.

Randy, great job! Channel 7s loss! best of luck!

This is a sad day for Boston TV news. Mr Price has brought dignity and class to a medium that usually has little of both.

Very sad to see you go Randy. Our favorite news reader.
Good luck .

i am very sad to hear that Randy has left the show.

I saw the two women together the other night. Wow, you all made a big mistake! Mr. Price and Ms. Rivera seemed to work so well together, two seasoned professionals. Your broadcasts are often like watching new grads get on air training time-at my expense. Mr. Price was one of the people that kept me coming back. . . .I'm 40 and I think all these exec's that are opting for less experienced staff are making a mistake. They often sound silly in their banter. You've just made up my mind; I'll get my news from the internet more often!

...WoW....the TV-News business is no guarantee of longevity at that trade/craft.....one in; one out....NEXT!!

I have been watching channel 7 for a long time with Randy Price and I just
think he's a great anchor and said to see him go. I wish him the best in the
future with his life and just keep up the good humor and have a happy life.
Best Wishes,
Maria

WOW. This is a shocker!!! I love Randy Price. He is the MOST professional newscaster out there!!! What a loss and a shame!! - and I think the station made a HUGE mistake. He is not the problem, the format of how you announce New is! The news is "too sensationalized" on that particular station with its annoying snarky banners! It seems to sensationalize the littlest things - news that should be serious, are announced with stupid titles, (I.e, a explosion at a factory" will say "Kaboom" in the crawler below. It is almost tabloid like. With Randy, you always felt that he gave everything credibility. Wow wow wo

i never knew he was gay. he seems like a great guy and it's sad that he had to go. best of luck to your mr. price

PS. Also, I am offended that this article needs to bring up that Randy Price is "openly Gay" - first, one would NEVER know he is,certainly not by his on -air presentation of the news. And, secondly, he is never biased even with gay issue stories - you don't know what side he is on. That is huge. No comments to the other anchor. ONe would not know he was gay - only because you felt this was necessary tidbit to mention in your story!! This is highly insulting and this is coming from a Republican women!!

I am very sorry to see Randy go. He is a familiar face that will be missed. Unfortunately it seems like all the stations are going out with old and in with the new format. Best wishes Randy!

I wish him good luck!

He will be missed.

Moved back from NY 5 years ago and our family started watching channel 7 nightly news. Always impressed with Randy's professionalism and personality also his impeccable attire. He will be missed and best of luck to him in the next chapter of his career!

This is sorry news - Randy Price was about the only news person on channel 7 that I could stand to watch for more than a few minutes.

I hope I'll be seeing him on another channel soon.

Thank you Randy for showing the world that gay people are just as capable as anyone else. First openly gay anchor in the nation, that's what I call bravery!

Jacobsen is correct as far as she goes. My local TV news probably gives about 10 minutes out of 30 to current and actualNEWS. The rest of the time is commercials, weather, traffic and telling us what they will tell us on the next broadcast! And more and more of that is prerecorded and shown again and again throughout the day! You don't need a high paid ace reporter for that venue.

You'll be missed Mr. Price. Best of luck in the future.

Good job Johnny...

Best of luck, Randy!

randy resigns and so i will resign. bye bye channel 7 ! good luck, sir randy.

To B Lobel... what rock have you been living under? Randy did come out of the closet and is married. Probably a good idea you stay under that rock. Randy we will miss you. Good luck in your endeavors.

This is bad news. Randy was the only reason left to watch Channel 7 news, in fact all news. Channel 7 has become another Fox News if not worse. They really need to re-think the whole thing. Sorry to see you go Randy.

move in a different direction? exactly what does that mean??
He was the reason my husband always watched Ch 7 at 5 at 6.
we are so disappointed. Good luck to you Randy

Come out of the closet? What are you talking about?

Randy has been "out" for as long as he's been at Seven.

It's not about just good anchors and sports figures getting the shaft. How about meterorologists ? Barry Burbank was another victim of a station's heading in a different direction. He does some fill-in and weekend spots, but he is very experienced in NE weather and deserves to be prime time. Him and Harvey Leonard are the best amongst TV meteorologists in Boston.

I really enjoyed Randy Price and liked his low-key approach. It is difficult to understand why they would want to replace him. I can't imagine anyone doing a better job. He always had that little twinkle in his eye that meant to me that he never took himself too seriously. All in all, a very appealing newscaster.

With the money they save on Price's contract maybe they can buy some real clothes for Frances Rivera. Best of luck, Randy. (BTW- I hear WBZ radio needs a sportscaster.)

Randy Price is the epitome of class and grace. He is the reason that I watched Channel 7. The different direction that the station wants to go must be down! Good luck to them, they will need it. I hope that Randy considers going to another station, I will be watching for him. I wish him good health and happiness whatever he decides to do.

Ditto! Randy Price is a REAL class act. To say he will be missed is an understatement.
Channel 7 seems to like lipstick, hair-flicking, and eye make-up. I want news, not Elle magazine every evening.
Randy will land on his feet and in a much better place.Shame on you channel 7

Local TV news is hardly worth tuning into. The show includes celebrity items, long weather forecasts, many commercials, anchor chit-chat, and foolish teasers. Anyone who looks at a computer during the day knows what is in the news yet they continue to try to build suspense and keep you tuned in. Sad really.

I've watched 7 for Randy Price and Randy Price only! He always was sincere, good natured and a cut above the flashy image 7 has tried to project lately. My hope is that he will come back to broadcasting at another station. Until then - it's Channel 4 for me. Best of luck Randy.

I AM SORRY TO SEE RANDY PRICE GO. HE WAS A CLASS ACT. I, FOR ONE, STOPPED WATCHING CHANNEL 7 NEWS WHEN FRANCES RIVERA STARTED ANCHORING. SHE IS SO FULL OF HERSELF THERE ISN'T ROOM AT THE ANCHOR DESK FOR ANYONE ELSE. I HOPE RANDY FINDS ANOTHER STATION WORTHY OF HIM.

GOOD LUCK RANDY.

Is it possible that his gay activism may have been a turn off for viewers who are actually in the older demos? Funny that in all 40 comments here nobody mentioned that. But I guess in Massachusetts, it doesn't matter anymore. Personally, it doesnt bother me. But if it effects just 1% of the viewers who may know this, ratings will tank. And it looks like it did.

Hey Ed, consider this: On a scale of 10, Randy is an 8, Kim is at best a 5. And 8 is passing. Kim is not going to save the day or bolster ratings. Look at your whole product. This has to have cost you plenty to buy out Randy's contract. Doesnt seem like a good business decision; looks more like a desperate act -- throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks. This one doesn't pass the stink test.

It is a shame. Randy will be missed and the station will suffer lower ratings as a result.

Will miss him but he is a talented guy who will land on his feet. Congrats on your continued sobriety!

I also think Randy was a good anchor. I like 7 news and I am shocked that Channel 4 is leading the ratings. Channel 4 has always been and will be a poor news station. I guess with Bergantino gone more people are watching Channel 4, I couldn't stand that guy or any of the stories him and his team would air. Channel 7 and Channel 5 have much more integrity and more informative stories that I actually care about.

Good luck Randy

Randy has been "out" for a long time and the sky did not fall. The only reason I watch 7 is because of Randy. Everyone else has no history, they are too young. Ask them what happened 15 years ago and they have no clue.

You want the young market who don't watch news. GOOD LUCK.

I do not understand why Randy's way of life has to be part of the story. I guess to story would have been about one paragraph long if his life outside the news room was not mentioned. Randy's personal life or anybody elses personal life should stay their personal life. Randy, sad to see you leave the Boston air waves, Channel 7 will never be the same.

I can't stand Francis and where does she get her clothes???? YUCK...Randy is the only decent anchor they have

What a loss to the Boston market! I will miss Randy -- I thought he was one of the best in the area and the only good anchor on Channel 7, which sucks. As for his lifestyle, his being gay is just one aspect of who he is. It had nothing to do with how well he can do his job -- in fact, it may have made him more approachable and a warmer personality on TV. That came through to me; I didn't even know he's gay until now. Good luck to him and his partner, and I hope he can flip off WHDH with a better offer or new career path very soon! And let's hope he stays in Boston. Good luck, Randy!

I admire Randy Price, and will miss his reasoned, smart approach to the news. I can only assume that he will land on his feet just fine after a period of introspection and reflection. I look forward to the next chapter in his life, and I hope we will be allowed to share in this next chapter.

Randy may be a nice guy, but people... anchors are nothing but actors reading scripts who are occasionally asked to ad lib. I'd much rather get real news and more of it than look at some anchor. I probably get more news from the Daily Show and Colbert Report and the Late night monologues than all the network news shows combined. I have no loyalty to any anchor and find some, like Katie Kuric so offensive that I won't watch whatever she's doing. I do like the work Anderson Cooper is doing on CNN though.

Please... retiring? He was FIRED.
Randy Price was the only sense of "class" left at Channel 7. In fact, just the other day (as we received a lousy 5" snowstorm that masqueraded on Channel 7 as "breaking news", and that got more airtime than ANYTHING that is actually important! It's February in New England... get over it!!! Geez!)... I was saying how I am to the point where I actually cannot STAND to watch this station any longer. It's so sensationalized, so focused on puff pieces and the freakin' WEATHER,,, that the only thing that kept me there was Randy Price. A true anchor - unfortunately surrounded by empty air.

My decision now has been easy. Bye bye channel 7. Channel 5 news is at least an adult newscast that sort of understands the difference between glitz, puff and NEWS.

This was an idiotic decision. I predict their ratings will tank even more.

Randy, you'll be missed!! Good luck with whatever your future holds!

Who is a better newscaster in Boston? Nobody!!!

Randy, what a terrific run. Thank you for all of your good work both on and off the air here in Boston. I, for one, sure hope we don't lose you here in this media market. As for Mr. Ansin, seems to me he's just doing what seasoned business people are supposed to do: he made a business decision based on what he believes will be in the best, long term interest of his business. Time will tell if he's right. Sorry folks, this is a business.

I'm very sorry to see Randy Price go. If he goes to another Boston station, I'll watch that. I don't want to sound ageist, but the viewer who said the others there who don't know what happened 15 years ago is right.

Even from a young viewers perspective I say this is sad. I barely stop on this station unless I hear his voice.

Who will they fire next, Victoria Block?
CH7 news is the biggest joke in the Boston market.

Sounds like out-of-touch leadership to me. Agree with all aforementioned comments that Randy Price was the only news anchor who kept Channel 7's credibility hanging on by a thread. Randy was an outstanding professional.
The "only female news anchor team" is horrifying--from their trashy apparel, to no-substance, coffee klatch-style content and delivery. I am embarrassed for both of them. Oh Frances...what happened to you? You have lost your sophisticated elegance and Kim looks like she just dragged herself out of bed.
As for the solicitation of viewer comments via voicemail/SKYPE etc.--who gives a darn. Ed, with all the news going on in this small world of ours, THIS is the type of programming you call refreshing? Save the viewer comments for your station blog--really. Can you say: focus groups???? Probably time for Ed to open his mind to an audience reality check. How about soliciting a viewer call-in/SKYPE on THIS topic...
Until the station turns around, I'll be diverting my attention to Channel 4 or an on-line and/or paper source.

Surely, this story is an error. Removing a professional such as Randy Price ... the epitome of class, intelligence, worldliness ..... to HELP improve a ratings problem ? Obviously, someone in an ivory tower has no clue what's happening in the real world. When legions of viewers STOP watching Ch7
and the ratings REALLY fall maybe someone will wake up. Mr Price could well be asked to return to salvage the mess 'someone' has created. Best of luck,
Randy.

Good luck Randy I really wish you had been able to say goodbye.
I feel that Channel 7 repeats it's news stories over and over and over!!
I have to change channels because I know exactly what the reporters are going to say all the time. It drives my crazy!

Just another example of reality setting in. Why pay a prima donna 1.2mill when you can get a cute recent graduate for 40K who will get better ratings?
I will jump for joy when atheletes salaries plument. The day is coming....
Ad sales are in the dump, ticket sales are slowing.
Hey Manny, Mr Cancer, you are now worth 2 or 3 mill....,
next year 125K! Glory days.

Cutting talent and experience in favor of ill-paid young-uns....Hmm, sounds like--the Boston Globe.

I've met Randy. He's an awefully nice, very gracious guy.
His breeding cockers, though, and his work with the rescue league are so hypocritical, though, it's absurd.
It's like how Pedigree Dog Food both sponsors the Dog Show and supports shelters/rescue leagues with food.
You can't be on both sides of the issue and expect people not to notice.

Another class act bites the dust. Randy has been a solid, veteran presence at WHDH and will surley land on on firmer ground. Good luck to you Mr. Price.

Good luck Randy!

I am Black and straight and I loved your work Randy...you made a difference!

If what they mean by "a new direction" is the two vapid women on a night...I'm turning to a different channel...not only are they bad...the content of the "news" is a joke! Good luck to Randy Price, a class act!

I like the high school photo.

I like the high school photo.

Good luck to you Randy! I hope you turn up on TV near your home - an opportunity for those folks to see your talents. Shame on you, Channel 7, for letting such a talented newsman go.

Randy, You are far too much of a class act for Ed and crew anyway. Good luck and I know we'll see you on air soon!!!

Hopefully we won't be forced to watch a "Barbie-doll" type. If so, I will definitely not be watching Channel 7 news.

Good night, and good luck...

Sounds like the next time I'm in Boston, I won't recognize anyone on the evening news.

A class act bites the dust at the expense of T&A and misguided management
Good luck, brother. I'm off to a different news channel.
At least you didn't have the plastic surgery everyone else on channel 7 seems to have had.

That station is TORTURE to watch and I can understand why they are last in the ratings ... He was the only real reporter/journalist/newsman on there ... the rest are eye candy or supposed eye candy. I'm sure he's glad he won't have to read any more alliteration-loaded headlines and can find a REAL news station to work for ... Good Luck, Randy! I can just imagine Channel 7's headlines now: "Randy Reportedly Resigns" ... "Price's Private Pain" ... "Anchor Announces Anchor's Away ..... UGH!! They are dreadful and they will only get worse!!

Regardless of one's sexual orientation this was and is one "fine" reporter. It was the major reason that I consistently watched Channel 7 news. I can truthfully say that those days are now a thing of the past. The woman team leaves a lot to be desired. This is not based on gender but on performance.

Randy, come to Portland!! Best of luck!

Randy will be missed, he was what made watching channel 7 news interesting.
I wonder what will happen to the ratings there now.... I think letting him go is a big mistake. Click.... sound of my turning off channel 7 and looking for another news channel.

true professional who represented Boston. I can't stand this younger twirps who have poor English, not journalists and well you get what you paid for.

Randy Price was the best thing about Channel 7 news. In fact, he was he ONLY good thing about Channel 7 news. Two vapid women as anchors? Are they kidding? That's their answer for their ratings problems? How about they improving their newscast instead.

Channel 7 has been on the skids for some time now and think Randy Price has been their saving grace. He will be replaced by a young up and coming who can barely read a teleprompter and together with the other co-anchor, they will prattle on about the private little jokes that we, the viewers, aren't in on. WHDH has of late being leaning towards style over substance. As for me, I'll be checking out channels 4 & 5 from now on.
Best of luck Randy Price

Can't say I'm totally surprised, everytime you turn around lately the good ones, those with integrity, are getting the boot for younger, cheaper bodies. Soon there will be one syndicated newscast, one syndicated radio station, and one newspaper filled with wire stories. No good reason to watch Ch. 7 anymore ... I wish you the best of luck in the future, Randy!

I am in complete shock. I am a huge Randy Price fan. He was the one reason I watched WHDH. If you want to get rid of someone how about Pete Bouchard. He is HORRIBLE. Kim and Francis look like two washed old ladies. Also Anne Allred needs a nose job. I guess WBZ has gained a new viewer.

This is a rude surprise...I enjoyed seeing Randy Price on 7. It's tough to see him go. Whereever you end up next, Randy...I'm sure you have much success. I wish you all the best. I am sad to see you go, especially under these circumstances. Sounds like a hatchet job from here. Business as usual. You longer fit inthis outfit. You fit with me...and a lot of other people here in Boston, from the number of positive things that have been said in the comments here. You were a true professional, Randy...

good ludk.

sorry to see this happen. re. the questions "firing" or "resigning", he wasn't fired. they couldnot fire him as he was an employee in good standing with three + years left on his contract. it's clear they wanted to get rid of him so i''m sure they paid him a pant load of money to "resign". I agree with most of the postiive comments and my (extnesive) experience with this kinda stuff is that if what we believe (Price is good at his job and a gracious gentleman) is true, he will come out of this smelling like a rose and make even more money over the long run. It happens all the time at all levels of society. (Look at Joe Torre). I don't know about the "inside crap" about the station or its management, but if that is true, that will also come out in the wash.
jackt

This is the 2nd and final reason I will not watch Channel 7 any more. He was a good newscaster. The other reason I do NOT watch Channel 7 is because of their "BREAKING NEWS" that breaks in at the end of the program or movie that you have been watching for the past hour and they break in usually at the crucial part of the program/movie to tell you the news is coming on next.......DUH!!!!! SO ANNOYING.......So off to Channel 4 or 5 I go. Best of luck to Randy Price, he will be missed.

I never comment....but I felt you were a class act and I watched the new because of that. Best wishes. Management.....you have made a mistake.

Natalie Jacobson complaining about a celebrity-focused news culture..wow.

I have always been a Channel 7 watcher and over the past few years as I watched them bring on all of the younger people I always felt comfortable with Randy Price and just commented to my husband the other day that it was good that they kept the best person they had, Randy. We moved to central NH a couple years ago and 7 and 4 were the only Boston stations we get. I had always watched 7 because I liked Randy. I will miss you Randy and your professionalism giving me my news. Best of luck to you. I am sure you will land somewhere else and I just hope we get the station. Channel 4 here I come.

Thank you Randy Price! Channel 7 made a terrible mistake.

I stopped watching Channel 7 News a while ago...there was no substance. It was sensationalistic crap. Breaking News: Channel 7 News moving to the Cartoon Network.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT RANDY IS GONE , IT WASTHE BEST WE ALL GONNA MISS HIM. GOOD LUCK RANDY.

I for one am very pleased that Channel 7 booted Randy to the curb. Thank you Channel 7!! Ed, my hat is off to you. You should be hailed as a hero for saving Randy Price's reputation as a Journalist/Anchorman by tossing him before Channel 7's news program crashes and burns.

P.S. Natalie, if you're in the neighborhood, please stop and pick up Randy on your way to producing a great news program.

I don't watch 7 news as much as I used to, but its not because of Randy Price. He's the fall guy here and I'm sure that he'll end up in a better situation anyway. The reason i don't watch 7 news anymore is because they hype everything up trying to make routine stories into "BREAKING NEWS !" all the time. Nothing seems important anymore when everything is "BREAKING NEWS!". Good luck, Randy.

As usual, somebody being has to be part of the story. Who cares, Johnny Diaz?? Who do you sleep with at night? Quite frankly, nobody wants to know. Just be a reporter and talk about his career. I'm so tired of straight people making somebody's sexuality the center of attention. Perhaps some of the people are too curious but just don't have the guts to say it. With that said, Randy, we will miss you in Boston. Good luck!

I DON'T GET IT!!! And now, I give up on CH 7, once and for all... Most of their reporters look like they''re still in high school. I'd like to get my news from a grown-up. Later.....

Put Ann Allredd on every night in Randy's place. Ann is excellent eye candy.

Didn't the same thing happen to Todd Gross?

That's bad news for WHDH. Randy was the only reason to keep watching WHDH. I will definitely miss him, but Channel 7 News has gotten really bad these past few years, especially after they fired Todd Gross. WHDH has reached the end of the line.

You will be missed Randy!!

And they think the awfully dressed women are going to do any better? Boy that's horrible. I do not know what direction there going in but there tabloid TMZ style news cast says enough to me to not watch. I think their new way is the worst way. Time will tell I guess. Good luck Randy.

Yup time to retire to P-town with the pet gerbal.

I will say, one of the things that bothered me all the time - and ONLY this. I never understood how he could be a dog breeder when he was so active in the MSPCA. It it truly contraditory. What gives, Randy??

Sad news. Like many commenting already, he was a professional and people like to feel they have grown up with Anchors and Randy was one. Continuity.
WHDH and Ed Ansin probably did not consider how many of the 6,000 - 8,000 plus in the gay community in this region, watched due to Price. If they thought their viewership was low before, now do your tally. To commute everyday from
Kittery, Maine, in all weather, and conditions, showed dedication. Good luck.
Enjoy a break somewhere warm, and looking forward to seeing you wherever
they are lucky enough to land you next!.

How sad, Boston has lost a great news anchor. For years I watched his newscasts. Really honest reporting. Having not watched TV much over the past eight years "the end of the error" I was inspired to see Randy Price just this week and to realize how professional he has remained. I have always followed the stations in Boston. Will have to rethink what news station will be accurate enough to watch. Have met a number of news anchors over the years and along the way. All the best to Randy. He deserves so much more. June M.

Gad. How can I tolerate Channel 7 without him there? All that's left are the giggling girls (anchors?) with necklines that will soon be down to their bellybuttons, and the men with all that hair they seem to think it necessary for us to know who their stylist is. Well, Randy, you're going to be an asset wherever it is you go. Perhaps closer to home. Channel 5 News could sure use some help if you're interested! For me? Hello Jack (Williams).

Frances and Kim is an awful combination. Randy really added class and the synergy between Frances and Randy was great. He can't be replaced by Kim; why try. Sad to see him leave. Big mistake!!!!

Unfortunately, when both sides "come to terms" in an agreement to leave, it includes stipulations that forbid them to go to a direct competitors TV station for a specified number of years. So don't expect to see him pop up on another station in Boston anytime soon.

Definitely a very classy exit. All the best to him.

It amazes me that WHDH continues to remove the well respected anchors like Price and Hall and replace them with less talented individuals. The constant repetition of frivolous news stories for two and a half hours at time and the removal of Jonathan Hall and Mr. Price will have me permanently changing the channel.

I have enjoyed watching Randy's newscast for years...he is the only one that I feel I can take seriously. He is a professional and I have no doubt he will land a very good job somewhere else. I often see Randy in the Whole Foods store near the station....he is so friendly and down to earth to everyone...Good Luck Randy...hope to see you more often in Oqunquit this summer!!!! You should relax for a good six months or so!!!

that he now shares with his partner, Mark Steffen,

Hello. Boston Globe.. I know this is difficult for everyone, but. let's take small steps, Mark is Randy's husband, or co-husband as I like to think.

Randy Price was all that Channel 7 had left. I suffer through the morning Ch 7 show because somehow I'm too lazy to flip the channel over. I can't believe I sit there and watch those horrible children report news and weather. No more! I will be changing the channel now. I will not be watching channel 7 again. When will the Powers That Be understand that we do not need nor want Becky Blonde and Frankie Fine and Cookie McSugarpants informing us about how darn cute they are, how ("brrrrrr!!") cold it is, or how badly they wished they were in Florida. Randy: Good luck!! And we hope to see you again soon!

good riddance. bring on the news babes!

Kim Khazei is painful to look at and what's with Anne Allred and her sarcasm in the mornings? Ugh I can't stand channel 7 anymore. Randy, best wishes to you. We will miss you.

Channel 7 looks like a modern day cast of Dynasty...it's so pathetic! They keep hiring a bunch of young gay attractive personalities (Ryan Shulteis, Brandon Rudat) and trampy looking females...who is their target viewer? A gay pimp? I will miss Randy. He seems like the only professional person on air at whdh...and I found it pathetic that they made a quick blurb about him "retiring" on this evenings 10pm news...I am never watching them again and switching to wbz

Randy Price's journalistic professionalism was out of place in Channel 7's "if it bleeds, it leads" yellow journalism. It is good for Randy that he got out before Channel 7 brought him down to its level. We'll soon be watching a another pair of airbrushed airheads (male and female) who don't know West Roxbury from Roxbury or Southie from South End tell us what's going on in Boston.

So much for "a contract until 2012"! Unless they fired him for cause, I hope he gets a bundle from Ansin and his suits. From where I am sitting, it's a big loss for Channel 7.

Good luck ,Randy. Maybe now we'll finally run into you at Chauncey Creek relaxing!

Good Luck Randy! You will be missed greatly..............Channel 7 will never be the same.

Oh, cheer up people. He'll be back on his knees in no time.

It is very sad to see Randy go. He was the only reason to watch Ch. 7, everyone else is still using acne medication. Mr. A doesn't get it. New Englanders actually like ingtelligence and gravitas not vapid blather.
Randy will do well, but WHDH is toast.

Good Luck, Randy. You deserve better

Can we once and for all agree that anchors cannot deliver eyeballs and therefore shouldn't be paid big bucks? One of the last 'big-bucks' anchors out there, Randy Price had no fig leaf to hide behind. His big salary yielded a DROP in viewers, not a rise. So it should come as no surprise that he 'agreed' with his dismissal. He'll land elsewhere, but not at the dollars Ch. 7 was paying him. Those days are O-V-E-R. Maybe it'll help the swelled heads in TV news ('Don't you know who I AM?') come back to earth.

Good Luck Randy

Randy Price was the only reason to watch Channel 7. If anyone needed to go, it was Frances Rivera. She is horrible. They should have gotten rid of her and had Randy & Kim team up again. Channel 7 thought their ratings were bad, wait and see what they will be without Randy.

Hey Mr. Ed,
Did you go to Whatsamaa U? Clearly you need to go back to school. Randy Price was an exemplary example of newscasting and public persona. He touched so many lives with his kindness and knowledge and warmth. Shame on you for being so shortsighted. Randy will continue his good work in a different venue and we will be better off for it.

I can't believe that 79 people are interested enough with this story to write a comment.

Channel 7-Randy Price was the ONLY reason to watch your Station. You have made a huge mistake in asking him to leave. You are going to lose viewers like me because the only class you had was with Randy's news casts-he brought life, integrity and genuine class to the news and made it unique. Randy we will miss you, please keep visible in the Boston area. And invite me up to Kittery!

Wow - I just saw the short clip that Randy was retiring. Who the heck do they want to do the news - Randy's articulate, compassionate, AND handsome. What else does an anchor need? I'm shocked and disappointed. Randy, don't let it this foolish decision bring you down. Keep smiling - you wear it well!

I left Boston to move to Southeastern Mass 23 years ago, but I tuned into Channel 7 because of Randy Price. Now I will tune into Channel 10.

I wish Randy the best of luck, and I hope he finds another job in our market. The news wont be the same without him

I am sad to see you go. I always watch Channel 7 News and you were a big reason why. Good luck in whatever comes your way. Enjoy your travels and i wish you the best.

Does anyone watch Channel 7 news anyway? Too flashy and everything is breaking news... I typically watch channel 5. They just seem more believable. Ed Hardy and Heather Unrue are awesome and deliver the news in down to earth style without all the drama. Channel 7 is probably going the way of MSNBC et al with the Playmates taking the stage... too much lip gloss and lacquered hair for me. Good luck Randy.. I did catch you a few times and you were always a class act... great voice and demeanor. You will be missed and hopefully the lunkheads at channel 7 will get their act together at some point. ell

Does not matter much to me. These folks are all overpaid for just reading the news anyways. I am sure Randy got a nice severance deal for himself. The TV Stations know the majority of viewers are ignorant so that is why they hire these hot-looking young women to read the news and weather to us. It has become a real joke. The US has become a Reality-TV nation, so why should the dumb-down of the news be so surprising. It should also be no surprise why the US is slowly becoming a second-rate country.

Ironically I have lived in the area for just four months and have been "shopping for my news network". I had, just last month decided on NEWS7, in part because of Randy Price. More shopping in my future---- Randy, Good Luck! I'm sure you have a wonderful future in store for you ----- things you never even dreamed possible! And my only regret is I never got to meet you and Mark. Perhaps in the future.....

Big Mistake! Randy was the only reason I watched Channel 7 News. He is a class act who brought substance to an otherwise abysmal newscast. Hope he elects to stay in Boston because he sure has a legion of fans who will be watching to see him behind another anchor desk soon.

Randy, you will be missed. I always looked forward to your newscasts.
Also, I enjoy you and Katerina as well as you and Frances as news teams.
I hope you enjoy your time traveling and wish you all the best always!

Best wishes to a class act. Randy - We will miss you. You were the ONLY reason we watched channel 7. I hope that you will stay in touch with the Boston community and that you enjoy the next chapter in your life.

Channel 7 news reporting is not "COMPELLING", to me it is "REPELLING", it turns me off and leads me to turn off the station and go to another station for news. The graphics, noise and hoopla is a poor substitute for reporting the news. I like Randy and Frances, too bad they got stuck doing the stupid "compelling" promotion. They are not responsible if the station ratings are losing ground.. Maybe Ed Ansin is. Who is he, anyway? I agree with the comment that Randy's "retirement" is a blessing in diguise. Best wishes to Randy.

Could channel 7 have the decency to let him say goodbye on the air? No respect!

Mr. Asnin,
I have no idea who you are or what it is you do. And I realize this blog is not a "scientific survey" . However, when there are 77 comments; 74 are unabashedly pro Randy Price, 1 is anti- Randy Price and 2 are luke-warm.... doesn't that tell you something? It is a great man who can admit he is wrong. In this current economic situations Mr Asnin, I think you should reconsider before there is a situation that people believe is untenable for you,

I am so sad to hear this.... Mr. Price was the only reason I continued to watch the Channel 7 News.
BIG MISTAKE
Good Bye Randy God Bless....... you will be missed.

Rock on Randy, Rock on.

Randy Price, Natalie Jacobson, Chet Curtis and other great local newscasters
made Boston T.V. far superior to newscasts across the country. When away from home, I watch CNN - I can't abide what passes for news. Boston is now following the rest of the country down that slippery slope. Channel 5 will be my local choice.

Best regards, Randy.

Delivering the evening news is more to me than tight skirts, the right accessories and heavy makeup !!! Randy Price balanced all that ..

Channel 7, you have shown no respect for those long time listeners who stuck with you in good times and bad.. He was in our family room almost every night, since he started with you so many years ago.. We will miss him..

Please pass me the remote...

It will be interesting to see if Ch. 7 intends to make their "female anchor" news
presentation a permanent part of their failing attempt to compete with Channels 5 (the best) and 4.. What a unique twist to an already twisted broadcasting attempt that looks like something produced on high school TV.

I can't believe that Randy Price has been fired! The only reason I watched channel 7 was because Mr. Price is an articulate, professional journalist.
Channel 7 believes that young and sexy is going to bring them up in the ratings? The reason they are number 3 is their tabloid trashy breaking news silly stories. Many times I felt he was embares.sed being a part of such a classless organization.
I hope that he stays in Boston! Another station should pick him up before channel 7 comes crawling back

Another quality news reporter leaves Boston TV.
There used to be such stability in Boston TV news.
Now we're stuck with mediocrity, (and thats on a good day)

Good Luck, Randy!
Channel 7 doesn't deserve you. Ed Ansin-- all the worst to you, you freakin' moron! You obviously don't care at ALL about your viewers or you would have given them a chance to say goodbye to someone they've welcomed into their homes for years & years. Get a clue..

Randy Price is class personified!

Anyone who watches the news on 4,5,7,or any other network must be more interested in being brainwashed than learning anything about what's really going on in the world. They don't report the news, they try to drill their slanted agenda into your head.

Randy, you were too good for 7 News anyway...this is a blessing in disguise! You are a Boston classic and we will undoubtedly see you as your next chapter unfolds, because you are a talented and classy professional. Let 7 News tank before our very eyes with the girl-on-girl anchor idea...you'll be laughing all the way to your next gig!

Sad news! I'll miss Randy Price. He and Frances Rivera were a great team. I'll no longer watch channel 7 news.

He got two dUI and still go the job.

That's why when you are 59 to 62 year old you retired.....Why do you think this country have retirement program....You only live once so enjoy it and go to vacation and have some fun....When you die you don't take anything with you... I THINK THEY SHOULD CHANGE THE LAW FOR PEOPLE TO RETIRED WHEN YOU ARE IN YOUR 45-50 YEARS OLD. THAT WOULD BE GREAT FOR ME. EVERY MONTH HAVE MY MONEY IN MY ACCOUNT IN FRACE AND FLORIDA....

I'll miss Randy Price - the world we knew is rapidly fading.

How I will miss seeing you nightly on the news.Like so many have said -this is such a great loss and I will not be watching channel 7 anymore too. You have such class and presented your journalism to perfection. I will miss you greatly.

All the comments about Randy's being a class act and all-around great guy are true! I'm a neighbor in Kittery Point, and he and Mark are two of the nicest people. This is a social neighborhood, and lots of people walk to the beach near Randy and Mark's house, so everyone gets to interact with them and see their "real" side. They're the best. Of course, I always liked watching Randy on Channel 7 - he's obviously the best news anchor (left) in Boston. Seems like we're more fully realizing many of the lyrics to Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry" song all the time..."We got the bubble-headed bleach blonde, comes on at 5. She can you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye"

goodbye and good riddance in all caps..hey, who bought Grandma a computer? This guy was great for years and will be missed. As for you with the knitting needles, pipe down about your friend with the cocker spaniel and crank up the geritol a little

Who remembers Todd Gross & Chacage Windler of "7 Weather" fame? Anyway, whats "news" today. Its all faux, or should I say "FOX". Pretty Plastic People, Hollywood Glitz and anti Barak. I hardly watch TV anyway..

I was very dissapointed to learn channel 7 let Randy Price go so abruptly.I have enjoyed watching him over the past 15 yrs. You must wonder why channel 7 feels the need to let some of their top notch talent leave there station and be replaced by young inexperienced reporters, Could this be a budget decision? I wish Randy all the best as he enters another chapter in his life and hope to see him carry on his talent to another local boston channel.

Randy your the man,blessings in your future endeavors.Its their loss.You were the only reason i would watch 7 news when i did. It seems to lack the substance of quality news.

Randy,you will be missed!
Now,channel 7 PLEASE bring bac Kataria Bandenia,she was awesome!

What a loss to the viewers and a stupid decision by the station! I will really miss Randy Price. I wish him the best of luck in his next endeavor.

Well... Channel 7's ratings have just dropped by two more viewers. At our house, we only watched WHDH because of Randy Price. The choices are limited with the other channels because of similar "retirements". We'll just have to bop between Channel 2, BBC on Rhode Island PBS and CNN.

Good luck, Randy. A true gentleman and tv journalist.

the only mature one left at channel 7 is Victoria Block

Randy you will be truely missed, you are a great role model for many

Wow! I had company from Florida this week and didn't catch the news regarding Randy. What an absolute shame. I am astonished. He wasn't called an "anchor" for nothing. As far as I am concerned, he was the anchor that held the newscast together and was the one and only reason I tuned in to Channel 7.
There is far too many of the "greats" leaving the business. Now we have actors that are great in "hyping" things up and not broadcasting news. Good Luck Randy, you deserve better!

Just a day or two ago, I was realizing that Randy Price made the channel 7 news the one to watch. Now its Jack Williams or the radio. Best to you Randy. A razzie to Ansin.

Good for you Randy! Although I was never a complete fan of you, at least you stand by your convictions and reputation by not subcomming to the glitz that channel 7 has become. The station somehow thinks if they blind viewers with 80's pow-graphics and hire teenagers (who look like drag queens with all that make up!), they'll get the ratings. Sorry 7! You lost me. Ask anyone for their reason to watch the news is --- for the news. And, BTW all news is "compelling." (another of their absurdities!)

Channel 7 has been going downhill for quite some time now..Regarding Randy Price : I recall his last broadcast, Randy made a comment out of character and then he disappeared....He can do better than channel 7 with their phony awards. I wish him well and I will be watching the Fox channel for my news..

As sad as I am to hear this, I am not all that surprised. Echoing many of the other comments here, I am not happy with what I see happening at 7 news and it has been going on for quite a long time. I cannot see the wisdom in taking a professional, well respected person out of a position that they worked hard for, have done seamlessly for years, and replace them with someone who has no experience, no talent, and whose only claim to the job is a fresh younger face. It is the same thing that happened with Todd Gross a while back.

If they think that staffing their newsroom with empty heads with pretty faces will increase their ratings, I believe they will be proven wrong. I watch the news for information, not for a fashion show, and I do not believe I am alone in that.

Good luck in whatever you decide to do Randy, you are a professional, first class anchor and a great man. I wish you all the best.

I really enjoyed watching Randy Price. I can't stand Frances Rivera though. Who dresses her? UGH I am extremely disappointed to learn Randy is a dog breeder. I will never look at him the same way again. How can anyone be so irresponsible as to breed cats and dogs when there are so many homeless cats and dogs living in shelters and outside in the elements? This really surprises me that an intelligent human being would do this. I also think it it horrible that Joe Biden bought a dog from a breeder. I don't care how "nice" the place was.

So another one bites the dust...I'm just wondering if the station managers think that by having reporters in the 20 something age range means that people are watching the reporters or ??? The reason I get most of my news from the internet now is because these stations keep getting rid of those experienced reporters who were not only able to give us the news but discuss it in an intelligent manner as well. The morning shows are pathetic. The public that is ACTUALLY still watching and understanding the news are being driven away by the overly showy young reporters now holding most of these tv chairs.

Keeping up with the times. More like going back in time, when woman were thought of as sex symbols, it's back again. Sorry Randy, but you are better off! And the same when chanel 5 let Natilie go. Big mistake! Now the news is like the enquirer, don't think all their sources are so reliable, just trying to be first with the story. A a minute blurb, not a real story like it used to be.

Randy Price gave CH. 7 a level of professionalism and a reason to watch Ch. 7 despite its lacking appeal in general., The format and most of its reporters and anchors have caused me to watch Ch. 5 or Ch. 4 for the midday, early evening and 11 o'clock news. It doesn't surprise me to learn that Ch. 7 is in 3rd place.The owner Ed Ansin should use this resignation and loss as a wake up call. We don't find any of the news reporters or anchors appealing enough to watch Ch. 7, except for the Pete Bouchard and Jeremy Reiner with the weather forecasts. Unless the station shakes up its direction it will lose more viewers.vievi

Channel 7 thinks news is fluff and celebrities. Even my 12-year old, watching the "news" during the 6:00am hour, shouts at the TV "that is not news" as we hear about what happened in Hollywood last night. It would seem there is no news in Boston worth repeating; instead we hear Christian Bales' rant four times in an hour. Randy Price is a professional newscaster and is out-of-place alongside these newbies who are not well-educated, cannot craft (or read a coherent sentence; lightweights capable only of annoying banter. Channel 5 here we come! So Ansin, have you figured out why you're No. 3 in the locals???

Randy, as a fellow ex-channel 7 employee, I know that while this may have been a difficult decision, it is for the best. Good luck and best wishes in your new ventures!

The best of all to you Randy. A professional all the way.

I think channel 7 made a very poor mistake. This is the prime reason why i dont watch channel 7. They let go the only thing they had going for them and now we'll probably get another Grant Greenberg who i can't stand. Surprising but a typical move for channel 7. Well goodluck Randy..and Hello Newcenter 5.

I always liked Randy. He was the only reason to watch 7; otherwise, the broadcast is a joke. I literally watch it just to laugh. Frances Rivera looks like she got her outfits from the Jane Jestson collection. Kim Khazei? LOL - Please! Some of the young reporters are pretty good - Grant Greenberg, Ryan Schulteis, Lauren P. among them. That Matt Lorch character is like a parody. He speaks like he's auditioning for community theater, and what's with all of the waving of the hands all over the place? It's like he's standing on a runway at Logan landing planes or something -- what a dork.

Randy will be missed for sure.

Randy Price is a true professional and a class act. He was the reason I watched Channel 7. Shame on WHDH. They may be moving in another direction, and now so am i - to another channel.

Randy Price was a class act. One of the last of a breed (now that we've lost Natalie Jacobson and Bob Lobel). Best wishes to Price as he pursues whatever career is next.

Only thing missing from this story is Will Ferrel wearing his "burgundy" colored suit.

LOUD NOISES

It would appear that the new wave of news casting is more fluff and stuff rather than substance. Having watched the various news channels for more years than I care to mention, it would appear that most of the new breed of copy readers barely understands what they spew, let alone convey it in an intelligent format. The grammatical errors send shivers down my cortex. There should be more attention paid to the content rather than the stray hair out of place. Randy will be missed as well as all of those who's departures was decided for them.

We cant believe you let Randy Price go. You think that this new news format is so great. Think again. The best thing going for you was Randy Price." Glitz" we dont need. We will be tuning into WBZ Channel 4 to watch the real news with Jack Williams from now on. We have been switching back and forth since Jack got back. The only reason we still watched Channel 7 was Randy. The best thing Channel 4 did was bring back Jack. So long Channel 7 news and HELLO Channel 4 news.

just a good reporter.

HEY! CHANNEL 7!!! GEt it finally? You had ONE expereinced reporter/anchor to hold down the station - and you chose style over substance. Believe it or not - people tune into news, for....news! Randy was the only one that did that. Your other "reporters" or "anchors" seemed more concered about not smudging their lipstick (both the female & males!)

I'm a hip, trendy 40-something female that believes that women can/should promote their sexuality. However, your female anchors insult me on this level!! They completely portray the Barbie stereotype that women struggle to get away from. And now you're bringing more of this? Seems like channel 7 has issues with intelligent females -- and with the loss of Randy - intelligence in general.with

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT - A CLASS ACT IS "RETIRED"????

BEST OF LUCK TO YOU RANDY - YOU WILL BE MISSED AT OUR HOUSE
A TRUE GENTLEMAN - AND A SMART DRESSER

I WILL BE LOOKING FOR A NEW - NEWS CHANNEL -
EXECUTIVES ARE SO OUT OF TOUCH WITH REAL PEOPLE
INSTEAD OF GETTING RID OF GLITZ AND KEEPING IT LOCAL. . . .

ALL THE GLITZ FOR WHAT????

Whdh made a big mistake in cutting Randy Price. Fox news will be my choice from now on.

I guess that I am the only viewer out there that really enjoys CHANNEL 7.
I enjoy all the newscasters and I do/did enjoy Randy Price. He did bring something special to the newscast.

All the best with the dogs :-)

Randy Price is a true professional and a class act. He was the reason I watched Channel 7.

Good bye Randy. Good bye Channel 7. Hello Channel 5 !!
John

I am devasted, I have been a loyal fan for years and years. Randy is a newsperson that you can trust and relay on. I know that you (WHDH) wants younger anchors BUT you also need people that the public will believe in and trust what they are reporting. Where do I go to watch the news now. Randy Price is the only thing you had going for you. Those others are so tacky and unethical and rude. Big mistake

Well, I knew he just didn't "resign"!! Because he would have said goodbye first. When they announced his decision to resign they didn't smile and looked too serious. I knew there was something else behind it.
Good luck to you Randy. We'll miss you! If they let you go-you deserve better!!

Randy will be missed by me and my husband. He was the only reason we watched channel 7 news. As far as their ratings being lower than channel 4 and 5...it is not because channel 7 needs more "younger good looking anchors". If Ed Ansin looks at the other news reporters on channel 4 and 5 he would see they are nothing to look at and not all that young. Does he think by recruiting young model like reporters he will attract more viewers? You made a big mistake Mr. Ansin. It is quite the opposite. You should be replaced by someone who knows what he is doing. We will no longer be watching channel 7 news.

Randy you will be missed. YOu made the news on Channel, No offense to the crew now at 10 on 56 but the two female anchors just dont cut it. Lacking something. Ive now swtiched to Fox.

What a loss for news. I have been a fan of Randy's for some time now. He will be sorely missed. I will be watching and hoping that he will be on another local news station. Randy was the reason for us tuning into channel 7.
Mary

Are you kidding me??? I have spent the past few days looking for Randy and then finally heard one of the women mention one sentence about his "retirement". After all these years that was all channel 7 had to say? Randy was the only reason I watched channel 7...he was a professional as well as a strong advocate for human rights and active in his community. Must we continue to put people out to pasture sometime after 40? No thank you Channel 7. I guess I will be moving....God, I hope poor Ed. Harding is still on..Good Luck Randy and thank you.....

Randy Price is a hard act to follow: the ultimate professional with his many
years of experience. We will sorely miss him and wish him the best in his
many years ahead. We feel that Channel 7 is acting like 'total losers' as
they did when they released (fired!) Todd Gross several years ago.Now
Hopefully Randy will be hired by a station that truly appreciates him.
We live in N.H. and watch Boston news because our 'news anchors' here
in N.H. are horrible/more like trainees in this business. (WNAC could
definitely use some qualified replacements. What about it Randy?!?! )

Years ago I only watched Channel 4 because of Randy Price and then finding him later on Channel 7 - I was thrilled and have watched for years. However, with all the new changes they've made -(beginning with the move of Jonathan Hall from morning anchor) - I only remained faithful to Channel 7 because RANDY PRICE was channel 7 - --- He was the one good thing you had going for your station - to bad you couldn't see it yourself . Big MISTAKE guys - HUGE!!!

Randy we will miss you, ...resign, that's a joke!!!
He is a class reporter, Channel 7 is the loser for letting him go....
He was the reason my Family watch news on Channel 7, no more
No wonder people watch Fox news.....wake up!!
Good Luck Randy!!!

good luck Randy, I won't be watching channel 7 anymore. They (did) make a big mistake, by letting you go. You are better off....

Channel 7 is stupid for doing this. Randy is a class act and was the best thing on that show. They will see, their numbers will continue to shrink and they won't have Randy for a scapegoat. Perhaps 7 news should have spent less money on all of that make up that they are plastering on their newscasters and reporters and saved it for Randy. I mean have you seen them? When I watch 7 news I don't know if it is Halloween or a Drag Queen show. Wait..let me not insult the drag queen's I think they do a better make up job! The news stories on 7 are too sensationalized and it seems like they are salivating for the next Britney Spears debocle so that they can spend 20 minutes on it. I love how they always freak out about the snow like it is a volcano eruption. It is New England. It is snow, it is nothing new...get oer it already!

The loss of Randy Price from the TV 'news' scene is one more reason to get information from the print media. He is far too intelligent to continue the facade of reporting the nonsense that the the station 'deciders' think the public wants to hear (over and over again).
Good luck Randy, your Rhode Island viewers will miss you too.

I stopped watching local news a while ago... Far too liberal for me. I want the news, not station owners opinions. Like many of my friends, I now watch Fox News from 5pm to 6pm and usually turn to channel 7 from 6 to 6:30 to watch Randy with the local news... Looks like I'll just keep the dial on FNC and catch the local news at 10pm on Fox 25.

Good luck Randy, you'll be missed.

I agree with another post...frances rivera is horrible.she looks like a drag queen..she should have gone. I will definetly watch another news channel when those two frances and kim come on...trust me.

Randy Price is a professional through and through. I worked with Randy at the station about 8 years ago. Randy is a genuine man~what you see if truly what you get. He taught me many valuable lessons. My time working with him was just as important as attaining my college degree! I hope to see him return to local television news, or even a national program, where the nation would surely fall in love with him! Best of luck Randy!

The truth of the matter is Randy Price was Fired. That is why WHDH is refusing to comment on this. If you watched Emily Rooney or whatever her name is. Randy was recently on there and he told his side of the story.

Whdh is a tabloid rag of a TV News Station anyways. They are all!

Good Luck Randy!! You'll do GREAT in whatever you decide to do now. You're the reason I watched Channel 7!

Sorry to see you go Randy! You were the only legit anchor in that entire line-up and really brought a much needed level of intelligence. I had already jumped off WHDH in the morning and over to Fox. Randy was my last hold out in the evening. Sorry Frances, and ps: do something about the outfits. You're on a major news program, not poolside at the MTV beachhouse. The leather, zippers, crazy necklines and bright color...it's all ridiculous. Where's the paid consultant to review the clothing?

Also, as a side note, when Todd Gross left I thought it was so completely unnecessary and rude to immediately start airing "weather just got a whole lot better" commercials. Disgrace and mean spirited. Goodbye WHDH. I've had enough.

Very sad to see this. Randy was the best on the channel and the reason I watched. I hope another local station snaps him up before long. I have no doubt he will go on to better things. Good luck Randy!

Watched 7 news because of Randy Price. Guess I'll be going to bed earlier. Good Luck Randy, will miss ending my day with you.

I'm done with 7 news. Randy is the "best of the best" as far as I'm concerned.
He brought class to this station. What is the station manager thinking? What a dope he is.
Someone hand me my remote....

I can' imagine ting thetime to watch channel 7
witout having Mr. Price asan anchor. What n error
in judgement on te part of channel 7...but I am certain
Mr, Pice will benefit from this thoughtless decision.
Much luck to you, you will be sorely missed.
Claudia

Channel 7 doesn't get it. New Englanders want to see professionals on the evening news.
Randy Price is like a dear family member to local tv viewers.
I worked in the television industry for years and in my opinion Randy Price and Tom Ellis were the best of the best.
Good luck Randy and hope to see you back on the airwaves soon. God bless.

GOOD LUCK RANDY............................................. I am so glad you are not sick . Life is not a streight line. Thank you for being part of a fine thread of time we all share.

another good news reporter fired -- and the station uses incorrect grammar and the 20 somethings don't know the difference. I have watched Channel 7 for over 20 years and you have now lost me as a viewer. What a shame.

1. Pete Bouchard is a MAJOR upgrade from Todd Gross. He was horrible.
2. Randy Price was the only reason to tune in to channel 7. He is a born anchor with many years of experience, which is what people want to see. But he was better than the news channel 7 chose to report, so leaving the station is in his best interest.
3. Ed Harding is an unwatchable boob. Channel 5 should drop him and insert Price. They would then have the strongest product on-air. Have to wait for Price's no-compete to expire, I imagine.
4. Channel 4 was broadcasting from a hallway for 3 months while they constructed their new HD set. The new set is an embarassment to a major market like Boston. Hideous. I've seen better sets in tiny markets like Florence, SC or Presque Isle, ME.

My family have watched Randy Price for years; our twenty-something daughter has had a crush on him since she was four years old.

Adios and good luck, Randy ...

A great loss to Channel 7. I wonder what the owner Ed Ansin was thinking in letting him leave. I guess I will not be watching news on that station any longer. I hope the advertisers on this station know what great loss this is. and pull their advertising from this station. I wish him the very best of luck in the future.

I am sorry to see Randy Price go. He was by FAR the best anchor they had. Fox news is looking better every day....

Best of luck Randy.
I've enjoyed your newscasts for many years, you are truly the best of the best.
Good luck to you as you go forward.
We will miss you.
Pat, Tyngsborough, Ma.

Randy Price was THE reason to watch channel 7. He is a dignified news man. Channel 7's ratings are in the tank because they have gone to flashy empty news casts with giggling reporters. I will be changing the station. Channel 7, if you thought your ratings were in a downward trend, watch them plummet now. Randy, I look forward to watching you in the future and am keeping my eye out for you!! Good luck!

I am a former WHDH employee. ALL STAFF are treated poorly; it's just their inept management style.

Parting company with WHDH is no great loss.

The only tolerable television news in the Boston Market was channel 7 news at 11 PM and that was only because of Randy Price. The graphics were terrible and his co-anchor inadequate, but he exhibited professionalism and dignity to a dying media - the TV news at 11. There is really no hard news reporting and now no professionals to let us know what has happened at the end of the day. Kim Khazi was never adequate and her return was unremarkable. The owners should look to themselves and their poor decisions - reducing the news to two inadequate news readers is not the answer.

I along with an overwhelmingly huge population of New Englanders will sorely miss Randy Price. Randy is the absolute pinnacle of excellence and professionalism. He is the benchmark against which excellence is measured.

To me, Randy has been like a revered, trusted and valued friend who kept me apprised of what's happening in Boston and beyond in a most cordial, professional and no-nonsense manner.

Simply put, Randy is the BEST in the industry. His leaving Channel 7 is a huge loss for them and a greater loss for us. Without Randy coming into our living rooms and our lives for even just one night, it is indeed a sad day and a tremendous loss for all of us. Now that's compelling!!

Thank you Mr. Price for giving us all so much---we will follow you wherever your path takes us!

I'm really surprised and shocked to see you go. I only watched channel 7 news because of you. You are EXCELLENT! Your co-anchor (Francis) is just not anywhere near the caliber/quality anchor that would warrant my continued watching, I'm sorry to say. Best to you and thank you for the years of fine broadcasting.

randy great job -thanks for the memories-as for bob lobel-you couldnt hold a candle to randy -glad your gone

What a mistake Channel 7 has made! Randy Price is an authentic newscaster who is already being missed by our family. We wish him the very best and certainly hope his next chapter is an exciting one. This is a great loss for the local Boston news group. We will have to re-evaluate whether it is now worth our time to watch Cannel 7 News. Good luck, Randy!

Randy - WE WILL MISS YOU!! You are like family and I was VERY sad to hear that you left WHDH. PLEASE reappear on another network soon and I will happily switch. I am immediately changing to WCVB in protest. Good Luck Randy!!

I only heard the news today and was wondering why he hadn't been on the news at night. I liked him very much I used to watch channel 5 and switched to 7 because of him. I will now only watch channel 25 news. You will be missed and I'm sure the truth will come out that you were fired. shame on them it is their loss and all of the viewers too.

Chanel 7 - too much pizzaz and no "meat" It's too bad the direction it's going in- it really disturbs me....

Did not realize until last night that Randy Price was not away on vacation. This past week watching "Seven News" has been torturous... what a sad excuse for news programming. There are two things to be said: (1) Best wishes to Randy in his future endeavors - he was a consumate professional and brought his intelligence to bear in his broadcasts. (2) I have tuned into WHDH news programming for the last time, Mr. Ansin.

I had always watched Channel 7 news since I moved to Boston 10 years ago. I liked the team...Kim Carrigan, Randy Price, Gene Levanchy, Harvey Leonard, Caterina Bandini...now they're all gone. And as they left one by one I started watching other channels more. With Randy's departure there's no reason to watch Ch 7 at all now! I found Kim and Gene on the local Fox morning show. Evening news, especially Channel 7, is tabloid-ish with insulting sing-song headlines, and poorly dressed, unprofessional anchors. I am quite taken aback at how Channel 7 has slid downward. I'll be watching other stations now. And good luck Randy. Hope to see you soon on a better station!

Randy Price and Jonathan Hall were the only class acts on Channel 7. Now we are left with the dual bimbo anchor team (Kim and Frances) and Ken and Barbie in the morning. No substance nor style. And they wonder why their ratings are dropping like a rock.
Channel 4 and NECN now have the beast anchors and provide real news.
Channel 5 would be better off if they got rid of Ed Harding - hope he's next.

I have been missing Randy and thought he was on vacation. Little did I know that he was gone for good. What can you be thinking channel 7. You have lost the only reason we have been watching you . My husband and I are very disappointed in the management.. Best of luck to Randy , Great news anchor and a true gentleman. Hope to see you again soon on another station.

Randy, you are already missed. Channel 7 will soon regret this change for the worst. Enough females with talking heads and no gravitus to give the news!
Thanks for your years of dignity and viewer respect, Randy.
Good Luck and Thanks, Randy.
Tom K.

I was disappointed to hear that Randy is no longer with Channel 7 . Channel 7 is well known to let talented anchor people go. Too many new faces with no talent. Randy is a professional and classy man and will be missed. Needless to say, my husband and I will no longer watch this news station. HUGE MISTAKE IN LETTING HIM GO.

Good luck Randy we;ll miss you.

Another channel 7 watcher/listener has left the station. The only reason to tune in 7 was Randy Price. I'll probably get my news via the Internet from now on.
Good Luck Randy. You're a real class act.

I won't be going there for news. I thought Randy was a great guy, classy, and professional. He'll be missed.

Channel 7 has been tabloid for several years now. It's no longer news, it's an attempt at their brand of "entertainment." Releasing Randy Price proves it. Most of their newscasters dress inappropriately and unprofessionally. They are, by and large annoying to watch with over active expressions and gestures. It's now as bad as the Miami sister station which is literally laughable as a news station. Randy had integrity plain and simple. Just like the Entertainment Tonight type shows, ALL the news shows (now), but particularly Channel 7 spends more air time telling u what's coming then they do reporting! STOP repeating stupid stories for 2 days. Let your reporters DO their jobs and investigate and report NEWS, not the trivial crap that fills your airwaves. You lost 11 o'clock viewers? Most of us don't watch the same news station we saw at 6 anyway. It's a complete repeat! Good luck with your new juvenile direction.

I am very disappointed to learn that Randy Price is not on vacation but is 'retired'. I totally agree with the positive comments about his professionalism and his obvious understanding of the real news of the day. I, too, watched WHDH evening news for his contribution.
Mr. Price 'anchored' by providing dignity and legitimacy to a program that does seem to revel in pizzaz & programming that rivals the entertainment shows. I have seen many of the young reporters growing & maturing over the past few years. But I wonder how that will continue within a business environment that does not appreciate professional news reporting.
I wish Mr. Price well and hope we see him on another news channel!
My news source will be newspaper, internet, and wbz & Jack Williams.

So disappointed in channel 7's decision. Randy Price's professionalism in his on air presentation of the news and his appearance was the reason this family watched. The idea of viewers deciding what news is newsworthy is absurd. Have been long time viewers of channel 7 news but no longer.
Best wishes to Randy in his future endeavers. He will be greatly missed.

Best of luck R. and thank you for your incredible contribution to Boston's news scene!!!

Randy
I was very sorry to hear of you leaving you were a big part of my TV room
I wish you the best and I for one think that the station has made a very big mistake I just wanted to let you know you'll be missed.

I'm 30 years old, and I was aghast when I heard about this. Randy was a throwback (in the best sense of the word). He oozed class and presence . He was a real news anchor. My wife and I will be switching to Channel 5 effective tomorrow.

I can't believe that Channel 7 go rid of Randy Price, he was the classiest and knowledgable anchor on TV. What is channel 7's loss will definiltely be another stations gain. Channel 7 will be staying in third place by getting rid of Randy and not some of those new younger (prettier) reporters. SO long Randy we will miss you and so long channel 7 we will no longer be watching you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am so disapointed with channel 7. randy price was probably the news caster that i have enjoyed watching most in boston. if the world was going to end i would like him to be the one that i heard it from first. good news or bad news,randy had the right"stuff". we are the losers.

It is good bye for me on Channel 7 news. Randy Price was my reason for about a dozen years to view news and events on Channel 7. Randy was a real professional anchor with panache and a pleasing, comfortable style. I wish him the best for his future. This action by Channel 7 management to "release" Randy makes me think that they are operating with a flawed business plan and don't understand or care about their viewer market.

Wow! I couldn't believe this when I read about it in the Globe. Randy Price is a distinguished professional with years of experience, yet the owners at Channel 7 insist on letting him go in favor of tabloid news anchored by what look like Barbie dolls. He and Caterina Bandini were the best news team at 11 for years. Good luck Randy! You'll be more than fine after getting out of there! I'm switching to Channel 5 pronto!

That's it for me with channel 7. I will no longer watch the news on this
station. Randy Price was professional and classy. He was a plus for
Channel 7. On the negative side, we have Kim Khazei, who wears all of
her clothes two sizes two small trying to appeal to a youthful audience,
I suppose. Then there is Francis Revira who wears makeup well, spends
a lot of time at the hairdressers and shops a lot for her some what iffy wardrobe.
Sorry, but I'm tuning Channel 7 OUT. And please don't anybody try to tell
me that his being let go didn't in some very quiet and convoluted way have
something to do with his being gay! Give me a break!

What an error in judgement. I couldn't understand where Randy Price went and looked on-line. How ridiculous to say he resigned when we know the real reason is the management is too stupid to realize people like the professional, tried and true. When Kim Khazei came to Channel 7 I knew someone was going to be fired. She has shown up before and people seem to get fired and she stays. I won't be watching any Channel 7 news again. I really enjoy Channel 4 and the people there are real and news is news, not superfluous junk.
Andyu

Wow! I go out of town for a couple of weeks and come back to this. I always watched Randy and Frances at 11. I noticed more kids showing up lately, so it was inevitable that something serious like this would happen. Randy roomed with a friend of mine at a voice class last year and he is the person he appears to be on the news. The Boston-Miami 7NEWS connection was already getting annoying but this really pushes my buttons. Goodbye channel 7.

Channel 7 is a cut throat news station. They take anchors and chew them up and spit them out!!!! Terrible!!!!

Ch7 made a big mistake. Randy is a class act. Francis and company just don't cut it. They are plastic, phoney,and really into them selves. I will not be watching Ch7 in the future..bjn

I just googled Randy because I knew he was missing from the news but had no idea he had been let go. Channel 7 was my favorite news channel because of him and I will miss him so much. He is the only reason I liked that particular news broadcast, he brought such a level of professionalism and dignity to it. If this is the way they treat real professionals he is better off somewhere else.
Good Luck Randy!!

My mom misses him very much. They did lose a good anchor. He was not the problem. The ratings had nothing to do with the news. It is the line up of shows. You made a big mistake letting a long-time anchor go. They understand news and how to report it. Good Luck Randy to you, and have a great life.
It's their loss.

I have been in Florida this past month and only discovered last evening that Randy Price was missing from the 11 o'clock news. With all due respect to the current anchors and the "braintrust" at Channel 7, what purpose is there in removing one of the most trusted and respected journalist at a time when we can all use a familiar face and someone we have believed in for years? As a prod "babyboomer" I cannot fathom this decision as wise and ask that it be reconsidered.

Respectfully,

Randy Price you will be missed. I guess the saying is right out with the old and in with the new!!!! I guess i will be watching WBZ from now on.BIG MISTAKE....

I had noticed for the last few weeks that Randy did not look quite right to me. Could he have left because a health issue?

I will miss Randy Price very much, he is a true professional and when he delivered the news you felt he was personally apart of each story line. Unlike many of the up and coming stars whom seem to enjoy giving us bad news, with there smiles on their faces. But they to deserve a chance. As a women its great to see the new team Frances and Kim team...but they need help! Frances looks scared and they just don't bond well together...I wish Randy much success in the future as well has Channel 7...but I have to to be truthful I always had a back up and Jack Williams we see alot more of me now....

Randy, I have been looking for the past few weeks for you at the anchor desk....... Researching online I sadly found my answer.....
Best of Luck! Love you man!

I just decided to Google Randy and i found this. I am very sad about your departure. I always watched channel 7 News because of you.
Don't know what I will watch now.
Best of luck to you and your partner. Have a wonderful life. Can't be all that bad in Kittery.

Best of luck to Randy Price. I was wondering whether Randy was on vacation or what as I have been out of the country on vacation the month of Feb.
I think Randy adds to news broadcasting. I think having two anchor women
together makes the news seem redundant.
I will be switching news station now, since I realize that Randy is gone.
I am looking for a new news station.

Would enough viewer "protest" bring Randy back? I have been missing his presence on the Channel 7 News over the past weeks, until I looked online and found these 300+ comments. Paul Sullivan returned to WBZ Radio after the listeners responded. Station managers, please read these thoughts and review your decision!

Things really changed at the station after Kim Khazei came back and I don't believe for the better. The morning crew was changed but I enjoy the new anchors and I actually think they do a better job. It is tough to see Randy go he was great. As for the ladies Frances and Kim just don't work. Just look at the WHDH.com and look at their faces!!!!!!! Also, it is painful to watch them together! Huge mistake!

I usually watch WBZ news at 11 PM, however, due to the NCAA, I went to channel 7. I thought Randy was on vacation, but when he still wasn't on air tonight, I went to Google. I can't believe he has been fired !!!!! HUGE LOSS!!!!! Enjoy life Randy, you've earned it.

Good by Channel 7.
Ed Ansin you can call me crazy, but if you think that Kim Khazei has any business in show business, your business should be selling Nash Ramblers.
It is obvious that you should have been the bigger man and fallen on your sword. Station management of that caliber will drive the ratings into the toilet.
Randy good luck in your next adventure, …their loss.
DW

Pretty soon there won't be anyone on the news that we want to watch.
As with everything else, you get rid of the good, and bring in the cheap. we lost Christa DelCamp and Jonathan Hall in the mornings, which is why we watched. There are others, and now Randy Price, who in my book was a fine southern gentleman. We don't like the changes being made, and I know that changes need to be made, but please bring Christa and Jonathan back to the mornng news. Randy is now gone, but he surely will be missed. This really gives us cause to rethink our loyalty.

the commercial networks don't get it. this is the age of the internet. it first affected the print news media, now the local commercial stations. never liked WHDH since its takeover by the guy from FL. watched his ch 7 in lauderdale over a decade ago. much flash ado about nothing. celebrity does not equal competence.

with price's passing, ch 7 Boston has lost this news viewer.

I was shocked when I heard Randy Price left!! Why!!! He was the best anchor I've ever seen. If ratings were bad, it wasn't because of him. I can't believe it. I always associated Price and the station together. He'll be very missed, but can't wait to see him again on another station.

WHDH is a "dead man walking"...... Shock reporting does not fool anyone..Professional Reporting Like what Randy did is real and what people want.. WHDH Is just fooling themselves. I have switched to anyone but WHDH the new weather man should learn how to breath while giving the report. The last new Ladie weatherwoman has now learned not to say AWWWWW Now. How can whdh be professional with all the rookies they have ? Wake up 7

The comments keep coming in! Randy Price should never have been let go from WHDH! He truly was the best thing they had going. When he was paired with Katerina Bandini, I think this was the heyday of WHDH...I was lukewarm about Frances Rivera, and none too thrilled when they started easing Kim Khazei back in. If WHDH is down in ratings, then the guy that fired Randy should take a good look in the mirror. I had been a longtime fan of channel 7, but now go back and forth between WBZ and WCVB. I sincerely hope that the television audience will get to see Randy again in some capacity. He should really be doing National News. He's that good. Phooey on WHDH.

I really liked Randy Price. He and Frances Rivera were the only reasons why I continued to watch WHDH.....shame on WHDH for letting him go. They lost a great newsanchor! I guess I'll watch Fox 25 news from now on!

I have been away for 2 months and have wondered why Randy was missing from the news. I had hoped that he was on vacation, but as time went on I thought something must be wrong and sadly it is. I am so sorry to see that he is gone. I never felt like it was really the news unless it came from Randy. You have done so much for animals maybe that is the direction your life should go in now. I am a big animal avocate and love them all and would love to work on something with you to help animals if the situation should arise. In the meantime, enjoy your downtime. I will not be watching WHDH news anymore.

Mr Ed the talking horse-you are an idiot. Randy Price was the only reason that I still watched CH7 news. You've lost or let go far too many people in recent years-that's why you're losing viewers. Harvey Leonard, Todd Gross, Caterina Bandini, Jonathan Hall, Gene & Kim (FOX am team). Most people like some continuity with their newscasters-that's how you earn our loyalty. That-and good, solid news coverage. A constant parade of changing faces is what is hurting your station-we have no connection to anyone there. Randy could go national, but I wouldn't mind hearing him daily on a local radio station. Best of luck to you Randy. Oh, ED-about that Jay Leno thing-just another boneheaded decision you made.

Well it's great to hear that Randy is coming to the best newscast in the local news market, newscenter 5. I've always watched channel 5 and this has just made them even more dominant. I hope your happy Ed because now not only do you have to worry about losing Randy Price, now you have to worry about him taking all of your viewers because no one is interested in Kim Khazei( no offense to her), but the Female co-anchor isn't working. So goodbye channel 7 for good luck to you Ed. Congratulations Newcenter 5!

Yeah !!!! So happy that Randy is back!! I am switching to channel 5.

Me too! I officially switched today when he came on air at channel 5. I have watched NBC forever but in the past two years WHDH has become intolerable. It's like Romper Room with anchors that are too young and not well seasoned just yet. It's really an insult to the viewers. I miss Jonathan Hall in the mornings with Christa Delcamp. Ann allred does nothing for me as well as her co-anchor. News should be delivered by experienced anchors not kids just out of college.

good luck randy ,i watched 7 news because of you. guess ill watch fox news now.

I suddenly realized that Randy Price was the only reason I watched 7 news Boston. But, I never thought he was the backbone of the anchor room until now. I don't seem to watch 7 news any more and when I googled his name, this article shows what has happened.
Is that why Jonathan Hall is put aside as a reporter now, too? Because he is getting older?

Where are you, Randy Price? We don't get to see good anchor men any more!
