Orlando Radio: Jonathan Beaton Departing WDBO For TV Gig

John Beaton

Jonathan Beaton is taking a big professional leap. The Orlando Sentinel reports he's leaving N/T WDBO 96.5 FM for TV in West Palm Beach.

His final day at WDBO is Sept. 5. He starts at WPEC, the CBS affiliate, on Sept. 8.

Beaton began as an intern at WDBO in 2011 and later joined the news team full time. He covered the George Zimmerman trial, and his reporting was featured on ABC News Radio and CNN Headline News.

He also reported on the Casey Anthony bankruptcy proceedings.

"Orlando's been very good to me," Beaton said. "I love the people and the diversity the town offers."
