The longest job search in Milwaukee media is now its worst kept secret.
After almost a year of deliberation, WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) is expected to name former WTMJ reporter George Mallet as anchor of its 5 and 10 p.m. newscasts later this week.
He will most likely start during the May sweeps period, a year after the retirement of veteran anchor Mike Jacobs last May.
Mallet left WTMJ in 2010 to anchor the news at WPTZ-TV in New York state.
Mallet, a native of Philadelphia, was previously afternoon co-anchor and reporter at WTMJ.
