24994J 5577 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 That's...wow. I'm actually impressed. McPherrin and Hill likely won't move the needle (much), but I commend them for promoting (or in Corey's case, reinstated) familiar, competent talent to the main morning show. I'm still probably not going to watch, but if the opportunity presented itself, I wouldn't think twice before checking them out.

Jase 1047 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Darlene has been a defacto anchor on the show for months, so they are finally making it official. Given the demotion and likely future firing of Alexa Helms, the move to weekends for Natalie make sense.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I wished Corey & Darlene would've been the 9pm team..... Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13953-wfld-realigning-morning-anchors/#findComment-116395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5577 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Okay, it says that Corey and Dar will anchor "through" the 9am hour. I'm sorry, it's just not clicking for me...will the two be on for 2 or 3 hours in the morning? I know they've been doing the last hour til now, but still...

ns8401 941 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 The way it's written they will stop anchoring at 9. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13953-wfld-realigning-morning-anchors/#findComment-116414 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it means they (John, Mel, Corey and Dar) will all appear during that hour. Currently, Corey and Dar lead things, but others like Mark, Tammie, etc... also contribute as well. Guess we won't know until Monday what the adjusted format will be.

JoseRM303 171 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 The way I'm understanding it is Jon & Melody will anchor the early morning half (4:30a - 7:00a), while Corey & Darlene will take over the later morning half (7:00a - 10:00a) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13953-wfld-realigning-morning-anchors/#findComment-116437 Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5577 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Feder had the story this morning, the first local voice I've seen mention the shift change. He's saying that Corey and Dar will be on from 7-9, with no mention of the 9am hour. Confirmed: Corey and Darlene will anchor from 7-10. Paywall Summary: Long story short, the article talks about how McPherrin seemed to be going the route of Davlantes, Sirott, and Robinson before him, but seeing how desperate management is, his unintended presence on GDC has made his talent stand out amongst a parade of nobodies and losers (my word, not Feder's).

Has his writing or depth increased at all in quality or substance? 32 is very desperate, I'm halfway surprised they even do news anymore.

24994J 5577 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Robert's articles about the same length, posted about once a day.

The same thing as before but clicking on it to view beyond the first bit of text causes tribune to beg you for money. The summaries are very helpful.
