The producers of WCNT-tv are proud to announce that former Bay News 9 on-air talent (and longtime Wesley Chapel resident) Susanna Martinez will co-anchor the first-ever video news program dedicated to the residents and businesses in New Tampa & Wesley Chapel.
 WCNT-tv, the new YouTube-based video news show which is a partnership between Full Throttle Intermedia and the New Tampa & Wesley Chapel Neighborhood News, also is the exclusive webcast partner of the Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce. The program will come to you from the Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel Studio.
Susanna, whose roots are in television journalism, helped launch Tampa Bay’s first 24-hour local news channel, Bay News 9. For six years, Susanna worked as an on-air television news reporter, bringing some of the area’s most significant stories and weather-related news into the homes of millions of viewers throughout the 11th largest media market in the country.
Prior to moving to Tampa, Susanna was the main news anchor at WKAG-TV 43 in Hopkinsville, KY, where she started her broadcast career.
“Like Bay News 9, I think WCNT-tv will create another local phenomenon and I am excited to co-anchor the program with Neighborhood News editor Gary Nager,” says Susanna, who also is the public information officer for the Southwest Florida Water Management District (aka Swiftmud).

The long-awaited Chick-Fil-A, located in front of the Tampa Premium Outlets (TPO) mall (at 2391 Sun Vista Dr., off S.R. 56) and right between the new Culver’s and Cheddar’s restaurants, is expected to open on June 30, sources tell the Neighborhood News.
