Klensch clinched by Ch. 4 for May days

Ex-CNN fashion maven Elsa Klensch will be joining Ch. 4 next month for a series of reports.

Klensch has inked a deal to provide style pieces and commentary for Ch. 4’s 5 p.m. newscast, co-anchored by Sue Simmons and Jim Rosenfield. At this point, the deal only encompasses the month of May.

Rumors of Klensch’s involvement with Ch. 4 have been circulating since Elsa left CNN last fall.

Post radio reporter John Mainelli reports that WNEW (102.7 FM) isn’t renewing the contract of Sid Rosenberg, who co-anchored ‘NEW’s low-rated (26th place) “Sports Guys” show in morning-drive with Blaine Ensley and Craig Carton.

Rosenberg, off the air as of yesterday, had survived a round of personnel changes since “Sports Guys” debuted a year ago, after Steve Mason and Sue Kolinsky were fired.

‘NEW program director Jeremy Coleman says the station is “definitely sticking” with the show.

Tally one for Metro: A Jackie O exclusive

Metro’s “Full Frontal Fashion Weekly” is taking an exclusive look at The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s “Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy-Onassis” exhibit, part of the museum’s “Jacqueline Kennedy, The White House Years – Selections from the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum,” which runs May 1-July 29.

This Sunday’s “Full Frontal Fashion Weekly” (8 p.m.) will feature Vogue editors Andre Leon Tally and Hamish Bowles taking an exclusive tour of the Jackie O exhibit, featuring eighty original costumes and accessories from the JFK Library and Museum in Boston.

“Full Frontal Fashion” producer Ron Fried says he picked the show’s 8 p.m. timeslot for good reason – it’s sandwiched between “60 Minutes” on CBS and “The Sopranos” on HBO.
