WBNS-TV Shakeup

C

I know this isn't exactly radio related, but I just saw on 10TV that they will now be starting their newscast at 4:25 AM with Jeff Hogan and Angela An anchoring, meteorologist Mike Davis and reporter Karina Nova doing traffic. I also noticed on their anchors and reporters page, Anietra Hamper is gone. Thoughts?

4:25a? that's an interesting choice.. NBC4 has been doing 4:30am newscasts for awhile now.
 
It also looks like the noon news will only have one anchor - Tracy Townsend. Chuck Strickler has been demoted to weekends.

WBNS-TV completely dominated the November sweeps period.

Man, why demote Chuck Strickler? And that stinks about Anietra Hamper. Liked her since her Channel 4 days.
Not a huge Angela An fan myself ... she has a slight but noticeable speech impediment, or maybe it's just an accent, I find incredibly distracting.

No kidding. That's the job I want. They could pull a Family Guy scene here with Karina acting like Ali Williams.... "How's the traffic Karina?"...... "LOOKS GOOD!"

Roy Briscoe did it alone for 20 years...I say...Bring Back Roy!

WHIO-TV Channel 7 in Dayton has ALWAYS only had on one Noon anchor...the late Ed Krahling was the host throughout the 80s and early 90s, then Ken Jefferson until '02, then James Brown from '02-'08 and John Paul '08-Present. I see no need for two anchors at noon. WDTN-TV 2 in Dayton has always had two noon anchors, a move i've never really understood(Along with an hour-long noon newscast).
 
WCMH only has one anchor too from their "NBC4 on the square" studio.

WCMH's noon news only runs until 12:25 PM and is followed by 35 minutes of infomercials.
 
4:25 AM isn't a time without precedent. Just down I-71 here in Cincinnati, WKRC-TV does that.

I'm sure their traffic reporters up there will find something. They can always rely on road construction to give them SOMETHING at 4:30 AM.

Are you kidding? I've always said Columbus is a city in which you could drive for 10 miles and never leave the scene of an accident...

OK...sorry about the attempt at humor. But, I've been caught in traffic jams at 4 AM in Columbus. Granted, they're not the norm...but a truck overturns, multiple cars collide...it happens. It's just most of you don't know about it, because you're asleep...
 
"Not a huge Angela An fan myself ... she has a slight but noticeable speech impediment, or maybe it's just an accent, I find incredibly distracting."

No doubt! I could tolerate her when she was on the weekends because I didn't get up that early and didn't have to listen but now that's not possible. If I hear "Owentangy Wivvuh Wode" one more time I'm going to scream.
 
I don't mind Angela An. Tracy Townsend is always stumbling over words and annoys me. She has gotten better since she took over the noon news by herself. The half hour of practicing reading from the teleprompter every day seems to be helping.
 
Yep. Elbert Tucker is wielding a hatchet. Shaking things up. Be careful what you wish for, sir. Cabot may wind up being the king of the hill if you move too much, too fast in front of central Ohio viewers. Especially with Andrea! She's the reason to watch!

No. She is stepping down to spend more time with her husband, travel, and live life. It was her decision. She said that on the news herself.
