"In 1984, Bree Walker joined LeBeau at the anchor desk, and they became the first female anchor team in the country."

A3N 1002 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Sad to see Carol go, but everyone knew this day would come. In addition to Carol leaving, weather caster Loren Nancarrow will also be departing KGTV. And the revolving door continues at KGTV. Wait till you see the new inexperienced morning anchor.

tvtime07 252 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Carol has been an icon of 10News, I'll be missing her. Kind of shock about Nancarrow, is it official? It might be nice get some new faces. The new girl doesn't seem that bad as you are alluding to, there's some compilation videos of her reports on her Yuma bio page, she seems quite likable and articulate. I'm wondering what's gonna happen with Evy. And if San Diego 6 News folds, perhaps they should pick-up Aloha for weather!

A3N 1002 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 She looks ok, but needs more experience and putting her as an anchor right off the bat without seeing what she has to offer is not a good idea. What gets me is that KGTV could have promoted Angele Ringo to morning anchor if they wanted to replace Evy Ramos. Ramos has gotten better and better over the past few months but still needs some work. In my opinion there was no need for a change, yes, Ramos needed more experience but the more changes you make the faster the viewers leave. KGTV lost a ton of viewers when Lisa Lake left, and when Bill Griffith leaves, more will leave too. KGTV's morning news has undergone so many changes in the course of the past year, that it's sad that they can't stick with one game plan and move forward. As for Nancarrow, it was on the nabetcwa54.org website, the union that is still fighting with KGTV.

tvtime07 252 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Yeah, it does seem kind of odd that KGTV looked elsewhere for a replacement; I agree that Ramos has been improving the past few months, its a shame that they couldn't be patient. Personally, I think the morning newscast itself needs a revamp, its a little bit boring and tends to feel choppy at times. They don't even use their theme music during the "coming up" transitions. The "10News Tips" that they had in the summer were pretty cheesy as well. They shouldn't be blaming their weak ratings on the personalities, but rather the weak content that they get by on.

A3N 1002 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Didn't warrant a new thread, but KGTV tweaked its main opens to not only add the ABC logo next to the 10, but also has the ABC water animation. Overall, a nice upgrade to their previous opens. Here's the open...

SFTV 526 Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 i like the open. nice improvement, hopefully they will upgrade its L3's as well? im not feelin the plain blue bar L3. they should bring back the old L3 when it was red, blue and had the ultraviolet rays/xmas light glows when they first debuted the 2007 part 2 upgrade of the Hothaus Graphics. it'll look good.

Overall, a nice upgrade to their previous opens. Here's the open... This is a great improvement. I just want to add that they are really pushing this ABC 10 branding, getting network names to do spots (Charles Gibson and James Denton in the clip above). I wonder why now are they deciding to go to this branding?

tvtime07 252 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yeah, it's about time they took advantage of their network affiliation, I always wondered why they didn't. I think with KSWB's abrupt network switch last year, they probably realized that anything can happen, this is probably one way they could please the network. I'm getting used with the ABC logo position, it's growing on me. I do wish they made improvements with the HD side bars, it looks out of place.

I wonder why now are they deciding to go to this branding? i just think its wierd seeing the ABC News Los Angeles above Charles Gibson and Hal with a 10News banner behind them. its more noticeable when you see it on channel 10's HD channel since the commercial was recorded in HD but its a great step up from going from San Diego's 10 to ABC 10.
