Thanks - I listened twice tonight.
Anchor was named Dave Anthony. Very good pacing. Some of the packages from TV reporters were put together just for the radio casts - they were talking radio speed instead of TV speed. Sounded good - reports just for radoi. Unfortunately, others were just edits from TV packages - same bad pacing, writing to correspond w/ video type problems with that type of report.
Also noticed that WJBO is running the 60-sec newscast with the TV anchor (tonight it was Carol Iovanna) immediately after the 5-minute cast.
If Fox can make this sound really good - then they're gonna give CBS and ABC a run for their money.
Also - I don't know what size of Radio-Only reporters they are going to have on staff. Thats important, since those folks will only be reporting for radio, when newsbreaks, you can get live coverage from them when the TV person is probably on TV. I do know that 710KIRO (Seattle) anchor/reporter Rich Johnson left to go to Fox and he said he was going to Washington, and not NY, which is where the anchor studios are - so hopefully he'll be a Washington based Radio Only Reporter.
