SARAH DODD ON THE OUTS

V

VERITAS DE VOCE

Guest
For those that weren't aware, Texas TV's favorite gossip couple, Sarah "Check out my Barbie hair-do" Dodd and Chief "Sugar Daddy" Kunkle have made news... kinda.

Maudlin sent out a memo letting everyone know that Dodd is no longer with the company, but no one knows where she went. My guess, she found an exciting career with the Dallas PD. ;D
 
Public relations for the city, spokes person for the Dallas PD? NAH GET OUT OF HERE;)
 
What a loss. ::) She could have been reassigned to drive the KTVT news van, knowing that she'd never be written a ticket while speeding somewhere to cover breaking news!
 
It's real simple: she doesn't like the new news director at all. Regent Ducas is all about car crashes, stabbings, and cats up a tree for live shots. He doesn't much care for investigative journalism. Sarah Dodd did not fit in with the new regime.

My guess is she'll land at one of the other stations in the market before too long.
 
OK, I can respect that. Sounds like KTVT is trying to run a Fox-like newsroom. I think the public would be much better served if Ch 11 returned "Bewitched" reruns to 6PM. I know the ratings would go up (remember in the mid-70s how Samantha and Darrin regularly beat all 3 newscasts?) What the hell, let's drop everything from 3-7PM, and bring back "Popeye," "The Banana Splits," "Gilligan's Island," "I Love Lucy" and "Dick Van Dyke," and reinstate "Adam-12" at 6:30. Anything beats "Dr. Shill" in the afternoons.

So Regent's henchmen...are they called "The Board of Regents"? ;D I hope Regent doesn't live in the DPD's jurisdiction.

how bout world class championship wrestling from fort worth every saturday night from 10-12am of course with wwe's permission ;D
 
Hey you forgot "Bullwinkle"!! Perhaps Regent will hire former staff reporters from the now defunct "Weekly World News". Small wonder why Tracy is retirng. first Kathy Clements at 8 now this tabloid terrorist". Let me call Bill Mercer,perhaps he'll do the wrestling again or host a seance to bring forth the spirits of the Von Erichs.
 
And while you're at it....bring back the Buck Owens Show, Cowboy Weaver, Nightmare, Slam Bang Theatre , the greatness of Dave Naugle, Porter Randall and Howard McNeil.

Oh yeah, and them talkin' 11's in business suits logo, too.

and you kids keep that ball outa' my yard!
 
Almost forgot....wanna' see the Mickey and Amanda show too.
 
What ? No "Shootin Newton 'Theatre?" No Noon day rip and read news with John Whitson? Wait a sec forgot they still do that,but without John.
 
Too bad really, Sarah is a decent reporter, and a piece to boot ;) Her hubby(The Chief) showed up to my dads retirement earlier this year and presented him with a plaque.
 
"Looking to stay out of reporting" is code for "angling for a desk job that will give me more cash and keep my cushy deskside seat with Chiefy Weify."

Yes, she has got skins on the wall. Yes, the 'Board of Regents' (genius Mike) probably gave her the heeve-ho (no pun intended ;D). But, is sitting shotgun with the former all-news anchor of Sherman-Denison TV worth it? Good thing she isn't visibly Greek!
