'Howard' discards Penny to trim costs


Change is in the air, locally.


For starters, former WNYW/Ch. 5 correspondent Penny Crone has left Howard Stern's "Howard 100 News" on Sirius Satellite Radio because of budget cuts, according to sources. George Flowers has also departed.


Also at WNYW/Ch. 5, sportscaster John Discepolo has left the station, as of Tuesday. His contract had expired and was not renewed.


Reischea Canidate will sub for Decepolo until a replacement is named.


And finally, Sree Sreenivasan has joined WNBC/Ch. 4 as the station's technology reporter. He was last seen on WABC/Ch. 7. He'll report on air and online, plus he will lead a number of new media initiatives at Ch. 4.
