  1. At the end of this mornings "Morning News", Kala Rama announced that there was a 99% chance that today will be her last day, because for those who don't know, she's pregnant.

     

    With Betty out on maternity leave as well, the question becomes "who will occupy the seat"? Logic says Craig Treadway, but the days of 2 male anchors are history.

  2. Good permanent hire by Ch.7. Congratulations Candace.

     

    Poor Toni Yates. On the last line by herself once again, LOL!

     

    But the way that place operates, it won't be for long because of the "Revolving Door of Talent at Ch.7 EWN".

     

    Maybe if they decide on a new, regular weekend sports anchor, Lucy Yang will join her on the last line.

  3. The 11 PM news must have came on at least an hour late as the Super Bowl went off just before 11, then there was some new show, then a special Fallon after the news. I doubt if many watched it because it probably came on super late too. I could be completely wrong here.

  4. Kenny was just named one of FTV Live's Top 5 Worst People in TV News. A surprise since it is in contrast to everything I have heard about him and does not match the few interactions I have had with him.

     

    Obviously at least one person gets along with Kenny: Phil Lipof! IJS.

  5. She is paying her agent 10% (standard rate) of her paycheck each week to have all those days off negotiated in her contract. Does ABC provide a daily round trip in a Towne Car to and from work...like many others get? Clothing allowance or free clothing ??? 1 or 3 hour lunch and dinner break???

    How about that all expenses paid vacation to any Disney resort , cruise ship or Island?

     

    Her agent did all the heavy lifting...she just has to show up and read the news...and he gets 10%.

     

    Sweet gig eh?

     

    I thought Liz drove herself to work, because didn't a NYPD cop stop her for something and a computer check picked up her license was expired, or something like that?

  6. Does anyone know if/when Sade will be back? She's had 2 very serious head injuries now, I wonder if she'll be up to coming back at any point. IF not do we see a reshuffling of the anchor teams again? Or does someone just get the 5 and 11 spot?

     

    They still plug her in promos so she should be back sometime, but it is frustrating to the viewership because she is missed so much. With that said, I'm sure Sade would love to be back, but I suppose her doctors feel she is not ready.

     

    With that said, and I get there are vacations, but it seems that Liz gets the most time off than any other anchor, unless she has it written into her contract. Not only vacation weeks which happen to have holidays in them, but she gets virtually all other holidays off too!

     

    Who disagrees?

  7. You were just saying you get that she doesn't but went on to expound that she should and her not having one is disingenuous. J told you why they don't do that... it's standard operating procedure. If she goes up to anything above freelance she will get a bio. But as a freelancer she can leave tomorrow and nobody will really notice, shes not really that important there because she is a freelancer I'm sorry to say.

     

    Yes sir!
