ABC7's Leslie Sykes swaps from weekends to weekdays after 9 years...

[ABC7 Los Angeles 1]

I just finished watching ABC7's 11 p.m. weekend show and at the end Micah Ohlman pointed out that Leslie Sykes will be leaving the weekends to anchor the mid-day weekday show. That's all he said and that's all I know... I wonder who's going to take her spot.

I just hope that Jovana Lara doesn't get fired, or anyone else, for that matter. Maybe Philip Palmer just wants to do the morning show. I think they'll promote Lisa Hernandez to the weekend evening slot. I was also thinking Leslie Miller could get it. I just hope that no one gets fired.

Same here...ABC7's news teams don't change often...hopefully it remains that way.

Yea, I agree. When it comes to change on the ABC7 news team i.e. new people, I have a hard time accepting them until I get used to them or if they're actually good. No one currently at ABC7 deserves to get fired, hopefully it stays that way too.

at last check...Jovana was reporting at 4pm, well at least she still is there.

I love Leslie Sykes and am glad she'll be anchoring everyday. Too bad I'm at school during most middays; I'll really miss seeing her on early weekend afternoons and evenings. She has at least one child (saw him on air one day), so it should be a nice schedule adjustment for her. I would imagine that Lisa Hernandez is the most suitable replacement. Leslie Miller is not bad, but I am not a huge fan of hers. She seems a little too rigid in her presentation to me.

 

Perhaps Jovana Lara is going out on leave soon? I know she's had a few children already.

I didn't get a chance to see a whole lot of the local news yesterday evening or this evening, but Jovana was at the anchor desk when I watched at 11. Maybe they did another anchor swap like Brown/Tuzee and Ono/Leyva. Odd, but I'm sure with good reason.

If Leslie and Jovana swap positions and Jovana gets weekend evenings, I think it'll be good. I'll still watch ABC 7. I think Jovana does well with Micah Olman. I know he fills in for Philip Palmer (and David Ono when David did the 11am show) from time to time. Hopefully, this won't cause ABC 7's ratings to drop. I wonder why Jovana won't be doing the 11am show. I know she has at least two young children. She might want to spend more time with them. I also seem to recall the last time I saw Jovana, she looked pregnant. Maybe, she's going on maternity leave again. Regardless of what happens, I hope nobody leaves or gets fired.
