rtmclaug 67 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I am slack-jawed. Why? Dave is so good. I love him and Dawn together. They have such good chemistry. Such a shame. This is why FOX 29's ratings are so low. They don't seem to be able of keeping good names on the air for long. Let's hope he finds work if not here in Philly, then another major market.

newsdude 60 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Do they promote John Anderson or John Atwater? Or do they hire outside? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/3806-dave-huddleston-out/#findComment-34555 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderJay27 45 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 WHAAAATTTTTT?!?!?!?! Omg, talk about a chemistry breaker. From the article, more shake-ups are in the works. I wouldn't be surprised if KLH be moved to the top co-anchor position. But who to replace Dave? I have no clue. Dave should have no trouble finding work somewhere else. He's too talented.

Don't know if he will find work here in Philly. It was a shame because he stated that him and wife fell in love with Philadelphia Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/3806-dave-huddleston-out/#findComment-34625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
first on fox 18 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 If I were Dave's agent, I'd tell him to stick around because I feel another high-priced anchor being investigated by the FBI could be gone very soon.

Jess 1115 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Yeah. By the time he leaves Fox, in fact. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/3806-dave-huddleston-out/#findComment-34654 Share on other sites More sharing options...

FJ2000 5 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 What a shock that that they decided to let him go. I have no idea who they intend on promoting to top anchor. I really don't see any of their male anchors as 'lead anchor material'. George Mallet would have been perfect, it's a shame he's gone.

rtmclaug 67 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I think Kerri-Lee Halkett would be a nice choice to replace Dave. I would watch two female co-anchors on FOX 29. But, it's all with the powers that be. If Dave can't find work here in Philly, hopefully he can find work in a larger market, (i.e. New York.) I do hope he stays here in Philly and replaces Larry if CBS 3 lets him go.

Larger Market???-lol You forget he came from A small market before he came here so I doubt if he can go to NYC, Chicago, or LA.

WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Umm you do know he anchored at WABC in the 80s and was the anchor of Access Hollywood before he came to Philadelphia don't you?

Oh I thought he came from Minnesota. never knew he worked in NYC. Wonder was he not renewed by WABC also like he is now with Fox29 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/3806-dave-huddleston-out/#findComment-34681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Oh I just realized you were referring to Huddles (as this thread was about him). You're right he came from Minnesota and before that he was the one of the hosts of one of my fav PBS shows, Newton's Apple.

I apologize. I just thought that if he can't find work here, maybe somewhere else. I suggested a larger market because he has so much talent. I really do hope that he (Dave) stays local.

rtmclaug 67 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Dave anchored his last newscast tonight. It was really touching and sweet. He thanked his family, FOX 29, and his co-anchors, especially Dawn, who started crying. I started crying myself. God Bless you and your family, Dave. You will be missed, but you will land on your feet! Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/3806-dave-huddleston-out/#findComment-35432 Share on other sites More sharing options...
