fox2 191 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=602045 Of all the local newscasts that I maintained an 'interest' in over the last 5 years - how their ratings were doing, their presentation, etc., CBS3 Eyewitness News with Larry and Alicia was like THE local US show I really followed.. apart from the Hawaii newscasts!

hopdevil 1 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Inside sources at 3 are telling Philly.com that ratings have slid 50% and that WTXF has taken over the number 2 spot in the Philly ratings race. Jim Barry, a CBS3 producer until the layoffs earlier this year, is now producing the philly.com 'videocasts.' While he still has friends on the inside feeding him info, the PM tabs are not 'inside' information. Every station in town has observed their ratings plunge. The silverlining for KYW: After the Olympics, WCAU will go back to their regularly-scheduled mediocre newscast.

rtmclaug 67 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 After Alycia was busted for that whole thing with the NYPD, I thought Larry was the sane one. Now, I know Alycia is the sane one. I see Larry in a much different light, and it's not a good one. I really hope that Alycia gets another shot at doing television news. As for Larry, forget it. If he goes to the slammer, that's it. He's done. I hope that KYW's ratings recover. I never really liked WCAU. WTXF is okay, but I would watch them even more if they expanded their news department. Eyewitness News at 4 is good enough for me. Action News is simply the best.

KRAP-TV 146 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I just don't see how he could possibly work in the business again (as an anchor, at least). So much of his persona was based on trust. And he totally obliterated that trust. Not to mention, he is now a convicted felon...

lugnuts6 91 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 What the hell is in the water in Philadelphia?? as warner wolf would say...lets go to the video tape You have "The philly sexpot" co anchor who made national news for sending a shot of her in a 'kini to her friends cell phone that was intercepted by the friends wife, while at the same time her lead anchor decided to be "THE HACKER" and hack into her e-mail and send some tidbits off when she gets accused of slugging it out with a cop in NY with her new beau in tow..BUUUTTTTTT now admits that he and her did have a rather "FLIRTATIOUS" Relationship that made his wife (who happens to work for the big FOX station) a bit P-o'ed to the point where the on air relationship between mr. Head cheese and "miss hawaiian tropic wannabe of 1999" is a cold as Antarctica,to the point where "Mr. Head cheese" decides to become "The Hacker" and ruin her career but not realizing that he was also distroying HIS OWN Meanwhile,down the street.. the lead anchor of NBC 10,whom we believe is happily married to the grande dame of QVC announces that he is in the middle of a divorce because of a relationship with his co anchor...and proves he's lost it by keying her car..AND GETTING CAUGHT! While down the street WPVI sits back ...AND LAUGHS!!, and FOX29 wonders just how to handle Dawn as she sees her hubby about to go from LEAD ANCHOR..to Prisoner 2543815 WOW! this makes those daytime/Nighttime soaps seem tame!

rtmclaug 67 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I remember when Larry was on channel 10. I was such a fan of his, and thought he was so trustworthy. It's such a shame to see him torpedo his own career. His career is done for. I feel so much sympathy for Dawn. I can imagine what she's going through.
