fan of la tv 47 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Are they both anchoring the news as well? I saw an ad during Friends tonight about the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to hear. A 6:30 newscast, I thought KTTV would take on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1945 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Hmmmm. Same practice as what WGN Channel 9 & KWGN 2 did last late summer with their new 5:30pm shows. It's interesting that they're pulling this through. I hope it all works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieboy247 42 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Me too. I was thinking they would launch an earlier newscast one of these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abric 157 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Kinda nostalgic since KTLA did a 6:30 newscast a long time ago. Good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting that they're pulling this through. I hope it all works out.It won't work with those anchors. Both need to go. For that matter, so does most of the on-air staff at KTLA. L.A. has needed a later newscast than 6PM, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who?cares 253 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I personally like Emmett, and Lelia, I find them very imformative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither belong on the air in Los Angeles. Their 10 PM ratings prove that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caliwxdude 252 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I was in disbelief when I saw Leila Feinstein was the primary anchor for a weekday primetime newscast in DMA #2. She was a fill-in anchor on the independent KRON before she went to KTLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was a fill-in anchor on the independent KRON before she went to KTLA. What does a local station's affiliation (or lack thereof) have to do with the personalities they have now or have had in the past? That independent stations hire lesser quality talent? I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A3N 996 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 What does a local station's affiliation (or lack thereof) have to do with the personalities they have now or have had in the past? That independent stations hire lesser quality talent? I don't get it. I don't think that he was referring to KRON's affiliation but rather that Leila was a fill-in anchor in San Francisco and now is a main anchor. However, Leila was the weekend sports anchor before she was promoted to the weekday 10pm news. IMO I think that she and Emmett bring nothing to the newscast (i.e. credibility, stability, or anything that will interest viewers), they are quite boring and they are the typical Ken and Barbie anchor team. It would be nice if KTLA hired John Beard (or someone of that caliber;David Jackson or Kerry Kilbride come to mind), that could bring credibility to KTLA.
