Wow, that's amazing that they actually reported this and are even offering a way for viewers to send her their well wishes.

Maybe she'll go back to Des Moines, she was a superstar there

I was thinking the same thing. Most stations cut the person and never mention them again.

You can see how choked up Frank was reporting the news of his co-anchor's dismissal.

From everything I've seen, WCCO is a class act through and through. While this is painful, they handled it extremely admirably.

She must be one hell of an anchor. I was initially under the impression she had been at WCCO for a long time (like, at least a decade). Everyone speaks so highly of her personally and professionally. I'm sure she'll land on her feet somewhere.

in this economy nothing is certain.

 

In this business nothing is certain...

 

Which reminds me, I should probably update my resume tape...

Only a few but she was very good and well loved by the viewers. It wasn't a WCCO decision, it was a corporate decision.

Our station wouldn't even acknowledge the 41 years of service of a recently laid off weatherman. That's how petty Barrington is.
