Here are your Friday morning news nuggets:

Congrats go out to WKMG morning anchor Jacquie Sosa, who announced on-air this week that she's pregnant. Florida Today reported that on Tuesday, "It was apparent she wasn't feeling well during the broadcast. Finally, after a station break, she politely apologized to viewers and announced she was pregnant -- again." Is it just me or do there seem to be a lot more pregnancies involving the on-air talent than years ago? I wonder if it has to do with newsroom managers being more understanding about family or that we have more federal regulations protecting workers' jobs? Am I alone in thinking we're seeing more mothers-to-be on TV?

Ocala-area viewers are going to have an opportunity to watch WFTV on cable now. Cox Communications announced that it will add O-Town's Channel 9 to its Marion County cable system on channel 9 starting Saturday. The cable system will also add WFTV's HD channel on cable channel 729. WFTV was the only major Orlando network station missing from the cable company's lineup, mainly due to the fact that Gainesville has an ABC affiliate.

Forgot to mention yesterday that WESH's new 4 p.m. newscast starts on Aug. 14. The new show, fronted by Jim Payne and newcomer Martha Sugalski, is described by Channel 2 as "a new generation of late-afternoon news programming designed to prove powerful, in-depth coverage of breaking news and weather stories, locally, around the nation and around the world." The new newscast will also be streamed live on wesh.com. The Orlando Sentinel also has more on the WESH anchor switches announced Thursday.

Orlando's bucking the national trend when it comes to female sportscasters. I thought this Orlando Sentinel story did an excellent job explaining it, but I'm a little biased.

You may have heard about former Channel 6 anchor Ronald Allen Meroney -- known on-air in O-Town as Ron Allen -- being accused of statutory rape in an incident dating back to 1974. He was officially charged on Thursday.
