Laurel Sauer has found a new niche on local public television, alongside her former competitor, Alan Gerstel.
Sauer, a long-time Channel 5 anchor until she was fired in 2008, is pairing with Gerstel, who left Channel 12 the same year, to host a 10-week series of South Florida history documentaries on WXEL-TV. Called Heritage, the half-hour series begins airing next Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
The award-winning programs were produced by Gerstel, who works for T.E.N., the Palm Beach County School District?s education TV network. The shows range from tales of early Florida to area residents? memories of the Holocaust.
After a short-lived stint doing ratings-month special reports on Channel 25, Sauer had been searching for a new television job in the area. She and Gerstel are also the new faces of WXEL?s pledge drives.
Gerstel says the two broadcasting veterans have an easy camaraderie.
"I feel like I?ve worked with her my whole career," he said. "She?s a pleasure to work with."
Next week, Kelley Dunn, who took over Sauer?s anchor chair at Channel 5, is celebrating 25 years at the station "where she grew up."
Dunn was 22 and fresh out of college when she was hired at the station where she would go on to meet her husband and win five Emmy awards.
On Sunday, find out what this fifth-generation Floridian with the ready laugh likes to do at her Palm City home when she?s not delivering the news. Also, learn about the family tragedy that has shaped her involvement in a local charity.
