From today's BLUEZETTE from NewsBlues.com: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO........Mark Danon, the young CBS weekend weather dude who was busted last summer, outside the WCBS studios, when he reportedly tried to buy cocaine from New York City undercover cops.

That's all we know. Mark Danon's court date is this Friday. If we find out anything, we'll have it here!

Mark Danon Staying With NEWS 2 Until August

It has been confirmed, by sources at PrincetonWeather.com, that NEWS 2 Meteorologist Mark Danon will be staying on air at NEWS 2 until his contract expires, which is in August. Last week, the New York Post reported that Mark Danon, Dana Adams, Linda Church, and Kraig Debro were all leaving NEWS 2.

More People Will Be Leaving NEWS 2

The New York Post reported on Friday that weekend anchor Dana Adams, meteorologist Mark Danon, meteorologist Linda Church, and reporter Kraig Debro are leaving NEWS 2. The Post says that Dana Adams did not want to become a field-reporter, which might have caused her fiancee Mark Danon to leave. Linda Church did not like the idea of moving from the weekends to NEWS 2 This Morning. The paper does not say when they will leave.
