Milw12 0 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Anyone on WITI except for Ted Perry and Joanne Williams, and most everyone on WTMJ (presently). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whammypower788 11 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Anyone on WITI except for Ted Perry and Joanne Williams, and most everyone on WTMJ (presently). I have to agree with WTMJ, but I strongly disagree with WITI. The only good ones there are Mark Concannon, Kim Murphy, Ted Perry, and Beverly Taylor. Also, Toya Washington is bad on WISN, along with pretty much everybody at WDJT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealsvrtveditor 0 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Barbara "Mumbles" Harrison and Pat Lawson Muse on DC's NBC4 are just plain horrible. Harrison can not get through the morning without screwing up at least 6 to 8 times and Muse is just as bad. 5, 7, and 9 aren't bad....just 4.

Tyler 150 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Jon Cater, KDKA. I'd rather jump off the Ft. Pitt Bridge than watch that baboon whom calls himself an "anchor." Wendy Bell, WTAE; toooooo over dramatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ntropolis 593 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Barbara Ciara (WTKR) - She's been in this market since the early 80s and at WTKR since 2000 (as managing editor, didn't become anchor until 2001). Cracks jokes and makes little comments like "that's right, folks." Everyone's sick of her and she's only still there because she makes over a million a year. Kurt Williams (WTKR) - ALWAYS happy talks with either Barbara or the meteorologist and tries to be funny, he always tries to make jokes at every piece of fluff. Been in the market for almost 20 years, all of them at WTKR. Here's a little taste of the two above: Stacy Davis (WTKR) - There's nothing really bad about her, she's just not a great anchor... she doesn't have a great voice. LaSalle Blanks (WVEC) - I don't really like him, he's... different for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaSalle Blanks (WVEC) - I don't really like him, he's... different for some reason. Let's see...I called Babs a has-been and Kurt a poor man's Bryant Gumbel (they even look similar). I'm not a big fan of WAVY anchors David Nelson (who thinks he should have been a comedian), or Lori Crouch (not sure why...) I wonder what you mean by "...different for some reason" when talking about LaSalle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PelicanGuy 117 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Helena Moreno, WDSU. She seems to have this evil look on her face, is overly dramatic and my goodness....that hair. It's almost retro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ib-td 1 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Gayle Guyardo [WFLA] - Stumbles through promos, dresses like a whore, the only way she's on is because she has connections. Mario Diaz [WTSP] Heather Van Nest [WTSP] Deborah Bowden [WTVT] - She's a bitch, plain and simple. Jesus, how could you forget??????? WFLA - Keith Cate WTSP - Reginald Roundtree WTSP - Angela Atalla WTVT - Bill Murphy WFOR - Brian Norcross WSVN - Lynn Martinez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoadStar 363 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Milwaukee: easily Chris Goodman (WITI). By far and away the least professional anchor I've ever seen. Behaves more like a class clown than an anchor when on the air. Runner up: Katrina Cravy (also WITI). I've mentioned before how insincere she seems on the air. Everything about her just grates on the nerves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Former Member 207 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 WOIO-Sharon Reed. She punches the wrong words and makes stuff sound 1000x dramatic than it should be. Wasn't she the same one that did a story about her posing nude a couple years ago? As far as worst anchors (and I'll throw in reporters as well), I live in the land of Hollywood...the home of the vain, stupid, and contrived. I admit that I don't watch much local news as used to, outside of catching KTTV in the morning and at 10pm, and KABC at 11pm. There's one in particular that I personally can't stand, and that's Ed Laskos from KTTV. He's mainly a field field reporter, but does fill-in at the anchor desk on occasion (for example, he filled-in for John Beard one night last week), but to me, he's the Joe Buck of news reporting, and it's ironically appropriate that Buck and Laskos are both Fox employees. Anybody who catches Buck's act on Fox Sports every weekend should understand where I'm coming from. Laskos is a pompus smart-ass who can't just deliver the story straight. Another one from KTTV is Karen Posada...just horrible. She reminds me of when Claudia Trejos replaced the great Ed Arnold on KTLA's Sunday night sports report. Just a poor delivery and can't speak fluent English at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdcnow 14 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Dallas: KXAS: Mike Snyder & Jane McGarry I hate to say it, but it's got to be Justin Farmer (WFAA) Charlie to the both of you: Agreed. Just my $0.02: KXAS ran their news operation into the ditch when they dropped the "Texas News 5" approach (Graphics, music, news product, whole 9 yard). As much as I love seeing Jane and Mike together on-air, KXAS has gotten seriously stale. Justin Farmer...yeah he needs to go, too. My votes: >> Baron James (KDFW), as I have said time and again. >> Pete Delkus (WFAA's new chief meteorologist). OK, I gave ol' Petey a chance to prove himself to me as a viewer. I really did. But after last night's comments about sports director Dale Hansen's backhair (a mental picture I'm STILL trying to get out of my head )....now I have just 2 words for Mr. Delkus: enough already! Last night on The Update, Gloria Campos very smartly replied "How do you know? ;D" Right before the next ad break after the weather, John McCaa called it very accurately: "That's just disgusting!" WFAA didn't hire him for the smart-alec comic relief -- that's what Dale Hansen's for. Just do the weather, Pete, and shut up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidently, I'm watching the News 8 Update @ 10 and Pete Delkus is talking about how Dale Hansen needs fiber in his diet. KXAS news is a complete JOKE. Once a pretty respectable news station, their news has gone to hell in a hand basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
