jtgh922 18 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 So Steve Chenevey will anchor Fox 5 Morning News from 7-10am. Tony Perkins will anchor the 5 and 10pm newscats. Hope this means Will Thomas will get the 6 & 11pm newscasts. He's been passed over too many times.
MorningNews 1500 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Where the hell is Brian Bolter going? He's my favorite there!
effseesee 101 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Where the hell is Brian Bolter going? He's my favorite there! He left the business. He and his wife started a restaurant/bar in Annapolis a couple of years ago and now they are starting a second restaurant/bar.

MorningNews 1500 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Anybody in the DC area here? Im wondering how Tony is as an anchor.
localnewswatch 6 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Anybody in the DC area here? Im wondering how Tony is as an anchor. I am. I'll try to catch the "NEWS EDGE AT ELEVEN" :awesome:
nickp 341 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 When the rumblings started about Steve Chenevey going back to channel 5, I would've bet money that he was going to replace Brian Bolter
CLT-DCA-ORF-PTI 87 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Ok - I am from DC - Tony was great at weather, despite not being a meteorologist. As an anchor, I was never really gung ho about him, despite the GREAT chemistry he has with the Morning Crew. He has a few too many stumbles, and he is a bit more laid back - almost too laid back for my taste. In Steve's first stint at FOX 5, he subbed occasionally for Brian, for the 5 and the 10, and did a pretty good job. I am really... perturbed by this decision. I really think Steve is a much better choice, IMO. As for Will Thomas - It looks like he will return to weekends. About a year or so ago, He replaced Laura Evans on the 5. They switched Laura and Will's roles last year, and with this announcement, Shawn Yancy will take Brian Bolter's Position, and Tony Perkins will take Shawn Yancy's Position. Laura and Tony at 5, Shawn at 6 [news edge], Tony and Shawn at 10, and Shawn at 11 [news edge]. IMO - I see Tony and Steve being switched within a year.
MorningNews 1500 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Yeah Steve makes more sense to me. I can understand a weatherman moving into an anchoring position for a morning program but Fox 5 at and 10 are more newsy than the morning news. Let me make sure I'm following correctly Laura has moved back to weekdays at 5 now? So many changes!
