FJ2000 5 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 At least he'll get some sort of send-off. He being the catalyst for the sweeping changes that took place at channel 3. However, it was a disaster from day one. Starting when he signed off with "and for the entire Action News team". Things got worse, he gave a candid interview to Philly magazine where trashed channel 3's ratings. Then the ratings plummeted. The pulled him off the 11 o'clock news and paired him with the bland Denise Saunders at 4pm. Things improved when they got rid of her in favor of Alycia Lane, then Angella Russell. I hope his career at channel 3 doesn't overshadow his great accomplishments at Action News. He will definately be missed.

WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I just hope we don't get more of The Larry Mendte Show. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2453-marc-howard-to-retire-friday/#findComment-23337 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bars-n-tone 39 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 The pulled him off the 11 o'clock news.... Just to clarify, Marc made the offer to leave the 11 PM show. He didn't like the hours as much as he thought he would. That's just one of the reasons he told me at the time.

Amra 171 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I just hope we don't get more of The Larry Mendte Show. I think it might happen, or CBS 3 hires Lisa Thomas Laury as their 4PM anchor Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2453-marc-howard-to-retire-friday/#findComment-23361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazz765 0 Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Maybe they'll add Chris May at 4pm. I know they just hired him for weekends, but I really don't know who else besides Mente that can fill that slot.

I know they just hired him for weekends, but I really don't know who else besides Mente that can fill that slot. This has been suggested here in the past, so it's not original to me. Doug Kammerer, FTW? Yes, he's a meteo, but he's got the chops to sit behind the desk.

tazz765 0 Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 they might even pull a reporter to fill the void. The only male reporters I can seeing doing it would Todd Quinones, Jamie Smith, and possibly Jim Osman. Unless they do like they do on weekend mornings and go with an all female anchor team.

Well that could work being that their 4PM news is geared to va-jay-jay owners. They can simply Ms Bikini photos in there and life would be good.
