Change at WJAR Mornings

F

formeraa

Wow! According to tvspy.com, Barbara Morse-Silve is joining Frank Colletta as morning co-anchor. This is huge news since Colletta has solo-anchored the morning news for the past 26 years!
 
There used to be a lot of conversation between Frank and the female weather person (Dylan, Kelly).
That's absent today and my guess is Barbara is around to do some happy talk(ing) with the great man himself. At one time they had the best am ratings of any NBC O&O in the country.
 
Out of all of their talent, they chose her?

I can't stand watching that morning show anymore, it's like sitting in a retirement home. It would be nice to get someone a little bit younger.

12's morning ratings have surged - mainly because of the chemistry between their AM team. It feels so much more lively over there in the mornings.

Who is the morning met for WJAR? Is it Ley or Bates? It seems to alternate every time I check.

I don't know, Bates does not look like a meteorologist. When she's on screen delivering a forecast, she looks much more like an employee pitching a Powerpoint presentation to her boss in the office rather than delivering a weather forecast.

I heard they couldn't get who they wanted, they wouldn't leave their current position.
 
From what I have heard, Gary Ley does mornings from Sundays through Wednesdays. Kelly Bates is on Thursdays through Saturdays.
