New Evening Anchor at KOMO.

KOMO had been pushing the Sinclair mandates to early in the morning (the locals know the Seattle area audience). Mary Nam (I screwed up her name above - way to make a good first impression) appeared in the Washington Post for resisting earlier Sinclair's edicts.

Even without the Sinclair plugs, Phillips just rubs me the wrong way with his story introductions. I have no idea what other viewers think. (My wife think he looks like Eddie Munster but that's neither here nor there.)

Welcome to news in the rest of the country (outside of Seattle and a select few other markets)! Though Preston never caught on in Phoenix, certainly his style of newsreading fits here well. And your wife has a point -- I always thought he looked slightly odd :)

So did Aaron Brown in the 80's and early 90's.

Mary is a class act and overall nice person, on and off camera. Sinclair has had anchors in other markets put up resistance to their politically-leaning-editorial-stance. Not many prevail in the push-back, but given her talent, I'm confident Mary could easily find a gig with a more deserving station and market.
 
Yes, Mary is a good talent. I really wonder if Sinclair understands their markets. Why they can compete in Seattle is beyond me. Unless they are trying to reach the slight conservative audience in the market which would be disastrous from a revenue standpoint. I don’t think that their opinion is anything that resembles reality in the market.

From what I know, Sinclair does a lot of research in an effort to stay on top of their markets. They would get crushed if they didn't. That said; there are definitely blanket programming strategies that get rolled-out nation wide.
