Leaving 'to spend more time with the family' is pretty much the same as leaving 'to pursue other career options.' But good for her - Channel 25's loss, Channel 5's gain.
 
It's only been a few months. I guess she made up for lost time quickly. ???

Let's not forget wbz did the same with David Wade.
 
Maria Stephanos could bring her shoddy talent to my operation any time. She, in addition to being beautiful, is very likeable. These "news" people are just readers, unless they decide to be Dan Rather and knowingly present false documents, so it might as well be enjoyable. Maria S. is an incredibly sexy girl, yet you wouldn't hesitate bringing her home to mother. Of course I'm old enough to be her father.......just sayin'.

FOX25 is not as shoddy as you would think.

The station that is in trouble is WHDH-7 mainly because of non-support from the network.
 
what are the top 5 news stations
AM - I don't have the numbers but:
1.Ch:5
2.Ch:4
3.Ch:7
4:" 25

Last I heard WCVB was killing with the "eyeopener" a clear #1 Today is gettting buried in Boston.

My gripe with WHDH is that they come off more as a tabloid-ish station. They're the station that will glorify every story under the sun with the big breaking news graphics and whatnot. And it seems like they do a ton of celebrity-based stories in comparison to their rivals in Boston. The only time I'll actually tune to 7 is to get weather input from Pete Bouchard and Jeremy Reiner.

Otherwise, most of my news from Boston comes from WCVB and WBZ.

That's odd. WHDB-7 seems to spend the most resources. I would guess it has 15-20% more anchors and reporters than any of its competition.
 
After it was announced that JC Monahan was moving to Chronicle and Cindy Fitzgibbon was taking her place, Cindy appeared on a few broadcasts but has seemingly disappeared, with JC continuing to do the morning forecasts. What's up with that?
 
If I recall when WCVB made the announcement, they said that JC would be moving to Chronicle in June and Cindy would be taking over for JC at the end of May. Cindy has filled in for Harvey Leonard a couple of times on the early evening and 11PM newscasts. Yesterday and today, Harvey handled the 5 & 6PM forecasts, while Cindy did the 5:30.

Thanks for the update.
 
Everything wcvb does is a reaction to "breaking news" or 7 news it's amazing how much they've changed since natalie jacobson's final days.
