Larry Mendte and Alycia Lane
Larry joined KYW in 2003 after being wooed from WCAU. KYW then made a great “Make the Switch” promotional campaign when Mendte arrived. The campaign’s idea was Mendte’s. Mendte also helped reformat the newscast and introduced the “walking anchor” to KYW that he was famous for at WCAU.
The ratings of the station immediately jumped with Mendte in the main seat with Alycia Lane co-anchoring. Within a year the station would overtake WCAU at 11 pm and 6 pm for second place. Alycia Lane was later fired in December 2007 after being charged with a felony for assaulting a female police officer in New York.
Mendte pleaded guilty on August 22, 2008 to the charge of intentionally accessing his co-anchor Alycia Lane’s email account without authorization. He read a statement and acknowledged having had an “improper relationship” with Lane. Mendte said that he ended the relationship and it “quickly turned into a personal feud” and that a vengeful Lane was attempting to get him fired.
He then anchored solo for a short time before being teamed with Susan Barnett. Mendte was fired in June 2008 after an investigation revealed he accessed Lane’s email accounts. He received a sentence of 3 years probation (later reduced) on November 24, 2008, including 6 months home confinement and 150 hours of community service. Federal Judge Mary A. McLaughlin ended his probation and all other sentencing requirements.
