Here's the REAL problem with Ch. 10's 11PM newscast....

Certainly what I say here is just one person's opinion, but I thought with all the discussion about 13/8 being tied for first and Channel 10 being last I would offer my thoughts:

Rochester is a stability=success market. Always has been, always will be. 13 and 8 both have established anchor teams, while 10 does not. While Funke might have been a fixture in sports, people might not be sure what to make of him on the news desk. As far as Jennifer is concerned, I think as many people might tune in to see her, just as many tune out because of her. She has only been in Rochester what, 6 years? In addition, she comes across as an airhead sometimes on the air...not exactly the credibility you need.

Sure 8's lead ins help their 11pm numbers no doubt about it...but you have to give them and 13 credit for keeping anchor teams together. I personally think WHEC's troubles are just beginning.
 
I miss Janet being on at 11pm, that's probably what made them slip. As much as I like Jennifer Johnson, she's not ready to take over Janet Lomax's place. Like you said, Ms. Johnson comes across as unintelligent at times. I'd say get someone else who has more experience in Rochester and has more credibilty, my suggestion......Lynette Adams.

Lynette Adams looks downright uninterested in her job sometimes.

She does, I will be the first to admit that, sometimes I wonder if she likes the early morning shift of reporting. But I have seen her at the anchor desk at times, and she looks like she can be the happiest person in the world. Right now, 10 needs to take care of what they got, and they are not doing that right now, and have not done that in the past.
