So they're doing weather around :17 and :47 during the 4 PM hour, which is akin to the weekend 5 PM show, but during the weekday 5 PM hour, they're doing weather at the more traditional :30. Weird.

Still miss Lourdes at 5:00 PM. She's a first-rate anchor, and is more likable than Micah IMO. Lourdes was filling for Robin yesterday and today on the morning news, and she did excellent. She works really well with Larry and Paul.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Sarah Jindra filling in for Erin on Thursday morning after doing the Evening News the rest of the week before that. I sure hope for her sake that this isn't a permanent arrangement and that they're constantly gonna have her swinging her shift 12 hours around the clock whenever Erin is off. I certainly wouldn't want to be swinging shifts around by 12 hours on a regular basis if I had the choice.

 

What was Sarah doing before September 8th when she wasn't filling in on the Morning News? Was she working for CLTV, or was she freelance? I guess if she was freelance, working these swing shifts in a full-time role would be better than nothing?

 

It would make more sense to find a new fill-in traffic reporter (perhaps a current general assignment reporter who could do this role when needed?) while allowing Sarah to stay exclusively on the Evening News.
