Musical Chairs at KPHO

Hi everyone I'm a brand new registered user but a long time observer of this board. It's great to learn about what is going on in the Phoenix metro area television & radio. My question is regarding KPHO. Anyone else notice the musical chairs they've been playing all week. Nicole Crites anchored the Tuesday evening news with Kent Dana, fill in cause they said Catherine was off in NYC. Then I notice Steve Gary on mornings and then the past two nights Paul Horton has been doing the evening weather. Are they trying new things out? BTW I enjoyed Nicole Crites on the night newscast. Anyone have any inside info. or speculation? One other thing that I should probably go in another thread but I'm sorry to see Christina Wofford is being let go. I've enjoyed her professionalism on KPHO and her ability to be on the ball with the news delivery. I know the economy is the in the toilet but I wonder too how much this has to to do with Kent Dana's $650,000(speculation) salary. I take it they're not getting the returns on their investment. Thanks everyone.
 
I also noticed the switch of many people doing the news there at NEWS 5. I think they dont have a team to do news in a way the audience wants it. Kent Dana has lost his ability to anchor the news since he left Channel 12. Catherine Anaya needs to be let go or placed on weekends. Sean McLaughlin needs to stop giving us the news , and stick to do weather. Also there sports team Gary Cruz and Amy Bender is the worst sports out there.
 
I watched a few days ago. Catherine and Sean were anchoring the 6:30pm news. Kent Dana did a short report from the "newsroom". It was weird. ???
