mbhcity 3 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Because KTLA is too broke to afford a weekend weathercaster. Besides for KTLA it's all about the morning show and Hal Fishman. If it were not for Hal, the should would not be worth watching, plus I heard speculation that the show might even be cancelled if poor ratings show.

That would really kill KTLA's viewership all day. All they need is to get rid of Leila. Yeah she is pretty but she isn't anchor material. The problem is that no female reporters there look qualified to be weeknight anchors. They should just move Lu Parker alongside Hal and have Frank Buckley solo anchor the weekend newscasts.

mbhcity 3 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Well there's Marta Waller, and she used to anchor in the past, otherwise, KTLA is badly trying to compete with KTTV. However, the thing about KTTV is that their newsteams have been there for quite a while, instead of a musical chairs sort of thing, John and Christine have been anchoring since 1993, while Hal Fishman has been through six anchorwomen in twenty years (first Debby Davison, then Tiiu Leek, then Jann Carl, then Terry Anzur, then Lynette Romero, and now Leila) KTTV used to have frequent anchor turnovers in the past, but that's all changed.
