Valet of KPRC Channel 2 skips out of Houston

Wow, in two weeks the Houston television news world has lost two news directors. This just usually doesn't happen. The latest loss is Channel 2 KPRC's Skip Valet who is leaving for WKMG Channel 6 in Orlando to become general manager:

Both stations are owned by Post-Newsweek, and Valet came to Houston after a stint as news director at the Orlando station. He has been with Post-Newsweek since 1982 and began his career at the company’s station in Jacksonville, Fla.
