Radio News Anchor

Whose your faviorte radio news person in Louisville? Who is the worst? I've heard good and bad voices on both 'HAS and "GTK...

I've always been a fan of Paul Miles and Mindy Peterson
 
GTK? LOL. They use Metro like B96 and 101-3. Dan Oneal and Bobby are really good, but I don't like J. Michaels.

I really like Michael Clark and Suzanne ?? on HAS.
 
Yes, most of the WHAS anchors are very good (Suzanne Duvall <sp?> is who I think you might be referring to. I think she is new).

WORST: Jan Yates(sp?) on the Salem stations. You can picture her chain smoking between newscasts. Kinda trashy sounding.

Suzanne Duvall is great! I really liked Chris Chandler. Metro's anchors are fine.

When I hear Jan Yates... I picture Roz from The Disney/Pixar movie, Monsters Inc

Out of the 4 Metro "news" anchors, Dan sounds the most like a "news anchor"...

Bobby Ellis has a great voice and delivery.. the man could read the telephone book and make it sound interesting...

Jay Michaels has more of a conversational type sound for news -- Jay's actually a CHR and AC jock playing news anchor now...

Jenn Yates, who you all are calling "Jan", has a raspy female "smoker" voice -- but, again like the other 3 she has a unique sound that she brings to the news, she's been at Metro for a few years now, so the people that matter must like her...
 
I agree..

Bobby Ellis is conversational, and thats what makes him great. I agree, he could make the phonebook sound interesting and appealing.

Jay Michaels is more of the "hit" reporter of the team. He reminds me of someone you would hear on Entertainment Tonight giving you the run-down, which every news department needs!

And with Jen - She is the female edge of the news, which rounds out a great team. The Metro folks in Louisville have a great group of people on their hands.
 
I like Michael Clark and Mindy Peterson. I haven't heard any News Anchors on WHAS that are horrible. I am not that familiar with the Metro personalities on WGTK. I usually switch it over to WHAS during the :30 Newsbreaks.
 
Top to bottom, WHAS has a decent staff. They are still covering Frankfort on a regular basis too. Public radio is doing a good job too, but not much on breaking news.
