John Bolaris to Fox 29!?! Say it ain't so!

29 would be nuts to let Guarino go -- he's one of their most popular personalities.

 

And his credentials are lengthier than Bolaris'. Maybe he would be given another role at the station to better showcase his skills -- a weekly weather feature or something like that.

 

If he is being let go, 10 would be stupid not to snatch him up immediately. I'm not sold that he is going be let go from 29, though.

 

Back to John: I could see them bringing in Bo-Bo in efforts to ready themselves for their 11PM offering -- with Bolaris they'd probably beat 10 handily for a solid third.

John Bolaris doesn't need to back to FOX 29. Rob Guarino is better, WAY better than him. Maybe JB could go back to WCAU. Since Doug Kammerer is going to CBS 3, that creates an opening that I think John B. could go after. Let's just wait and see what happens.

Two words:

THANK GOD!

 

I'll give ya's THREE "words": N S Bienstock. ;)

Johnnie's agent has allegedly been sending out trial balloons to some of the media and maybe even some of these websites.

 

It hasn't been working. I've heard (somewhat educated speculation) from some agents that he's no longer seen as a good fit really anywhere in Philly right now. 10 would not look good bringing him back and seeming to admit to a mistake. Rob G. at Fox does a nice job and I trust his blog message, though if I were he I would have used slightly better discretion than to use the word "crap." 3 is awaiting Kamerrer and 6 is set. I would add that really, JB is a pleasant, if very average, weathercaster, and as for all the "buzz," I have a good idea who's trying to generate it (pls. see above).

That doesn't make any sense. It's fairly well known in Philadelphia that Bolaris opted himself to leave 10 for WCBS. In the days leading up to his leaving, he went on 10 saying that working at a station in his home market of NYC was his "dream job."

 

So yeah, you can tell your "agent friends" that the whole "10 made a mistake" theory doesn't hold any water.

Then again, you never know. Fox 29 has changed alot since the new dude got there. The evidence, lol...

 

*Less hype

*Kerri-Lee relegated to the desk

*Billy V. not standing at the big screen for sports

*The straight-on end show camera shot to end newscasts now

*Local 1st Forecast to Fox 29 Weather

*9-10 day trend to 7 day forecast

*Changed openings/VO's

Not to mention the graphics have been modified significantly since the new GM and ND have arrived. It's now pretty much predominantly blue, and much lighter on segment opens. It's probably become the most subdued version of the O&O look that I've seen.

The only thing that matters is what the viewers want to see.

 

Exactly why 29's 5PM offering has been received better without the stool and all of that you say you love. It's what the viewers want to see.

 

Just because you feel a certain way doesn't mean that you're speaking for the majority.
