**The close of 2017** produced a number of changes in the area’s broadcasting community. According to [dcrtv.com](http://dcrtv.com/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com), here’s a snapshot of some recent changes:

**Mike Moss Out At WTOP:** DCRTV hears that longtime morning news anchor Mike Moss is out at Hubbard all-newser WTOP. An employee in the “Glass Enclosed Nerve Center” tells us: “The newsroom was shocked to learn Tuesday afternoon of Mike’s departure. The e-mail announcing his leaving pointed out that WTOP had a 4 share when he arrived in 1996 and he leaves the station holding a 10 share.” Also, we hear: “Based on the praise in the \[staff\] e-mail \[announcing Moss’s departure\]… it would seem his contract wasn’t renewed.”

**Carol Maloney Leaves 4:** Sports reporter and anchor Carol Maloney is leaving Channel 4/WRC. … After six years at the NBC-owned station, she doesn’t have a new gig lined up yet.

**Martin DiCaro Leaves WAMU:** DCRTV hears that reporter Martin DiCaro is leaving American University news talker WAMU, 88.5\. He posts on social media that he’s given two weeks notice and looking for a “fresh start” in 2018.

**Derek Hunter Leaves WBAL Radio:** DCRTV hears that show host Derek Hunter is leaving Hearst news talker WBAL-AM, 1090.

**Reed Hessler Leaves WBJC:** Reed Hessler says he’s hanging up the old headphones at Baltimore classical poutlet WBJC, 91.5\. “As of Monday, December 18th, I am no longer a classical music host on WBJC. After thirty-nine years and thirteen days, I am retiring,” he writes at wbjc.com. “My last live broadcast was the Friday night request show on December 15th, followed by my pre-recorded Sunday afternoon show on December 17th.”

**Tom Sherwood Leaving 4:** Channel 4/WRC reporter Mark Segraves reveals on his Facebook page: “My mentor, colleague, competitor, and most important my good friend Tom Sherwood is leaving NBC Washington \[WRC\] at the end of 2017\.
