What I find interesting about KNXV is that their weekend morning anchors, Nohelani Graf and Alison Rodriguez also do the weather for the show. Usually, they alternate doing the weather while they both anchor. I think that Philadelphia (my home market) is the only market (if not one of the only markets) where all four chief meteorologists are women. There's Tammie Souza on NBC 10, Kathy Orr on FOX 29, Kate Bilo on CBS 3, and the one and only Cecily Tynan on 6 ABC.

It's Jan Carabeo, who I think does a great job. She's grown on me. As for weekend evenings, now that Natasha is doing the 4pm show, who knows? I'd like to see Joe Holden get it. I've seem him fill in and he does a great job. I'm glad to see Natasha finally get a weekday anchor slot. She's such a great journalist.

KYW must have something different planned with this newscast. I think, knowing them, it'll be focused on light-hearted stories with some social media thrown in. They'll obviously do serious news, but they'll try to be different with more light-hearted fare and positive, uplifting stories. I'm willing to give them a chance and I'll be willing to check it out. If I don't like it, I'll go back to 6.

I've seem Tammie's work in Tampa and Chicago. She's pretty good and I think she's doing great so far here in Philly.

I saw Kyla Grogan filling in tonight. I thought she did very good filling in during Katie Fehlinger's maternity leave. I hope they keep her as a fill in meteorologist. I remember her doing traffic at WCBS, so maybe she could fill on that, as well. Either way, I hope to see more of her.

I agree with the above post. Joe Holden did great anchoring and so does Rahel. I do think that Rahel needs more time to get into her groove. But, I think she had a great start and she can only get better.

For some reason, I don't think Angela will replace Chris. I remember Jude Redfield doing weather for noon and 5:30 before he left. Chuck Lofton covered noon and Chris covered 5:30 since then. I'm thinking Angela will do weather for noon and team up with Chris for 5:30.
