6 has a new voice over guy, so here’s tonight’s 6pm open.
Much better with the voice-over IMO, livelier and sounds more authorative

Her name’s LuAnne Sorrell, presently works for KLAS-TV the CBS affiliate in Las Vegas. If she’s familiar to you it may be because of the stink she raised with the “Hunting for Bambi” report she did, where men shoot hot chicks with paintball guns in the desert for 10 grand. That story subsequently picked up by FoxNews and a huge stink ensued for the next 1.6 minutes after which everyone forgot about it, as usual.
Except that, the whole hunt thing was one huge fake. The owner of the alleged business put on a show for Ms Reporter and fed her so much bullshit she ran with the story. The authorities investigated and said
“The bottom line is we are convinced as a city, based on the information we have, that … some in the media were used as unwitting dupes to promote a private enterprise,”

Officials: Bambi an elaborate hoax
That’s what I think. And I think TV people working in these studios day in and day out with all of this radiation and stuff can’t be good, but Im sure others would disagree.
Unfortunately locally for us we’ve had too many anchors who’ve had to, and still do, deal with breast cancer. Kelly MItchel, who worked at WPLG. Laurie Stein, a WFOR reporter who last November put a brave face on and showed us what it’s like to live thru breast cancer.
Now there are two other female anchors who’ll have to deal with cancer
WPBF’s Kristine Hoke, who while driving one night home after anchoring the 11pm news and listening to the radio about breast cancer, did a quick self exam and felt a lump immediately knowing it was cancer. Something confirmed by her doctor the very next day.
Nightbeat reporter Liz Weaver from WPTV found she had an 18 pound cancerous growth on her kidney which has been removed.

Good news for the fans of ABC News Now, the channel is coming back to a TV near you. Granted, it will only be in a few markets with Owned & Operated stations by ABC themselves. And that doesn’t include WPLG or WPBF. WPLG is owned by Post Newsweek and WPBF by Hearst-Argyle. ABC is working on deals with other ABC affiliates to carry the channel but there’s a problem, most of them want to have more play in ABC News Now and cable & satellite operators are reluctant to pay for it as well.
Then there’s also Video On Demand (VOD) which will feature World News with Peter Jennings and Nightline, plus original programing from ABC News Now.
All in all, the press release states that there will be 50+ hours a month of programming a month.
Belkys got sent to the Vatican to cover the Pope, and htere’s a promo running with her touting her coverage of him from previous years. Lynn and Craig are in the plex.
WFOR has Michelle Gillen doing the coverage from Rome.
WLTV sent Jose Alfonso Almora (Thanks Francisco )
WPLG has Laurie Jennings in Rome
Don’t know yet about the other stations.
UPN33’s news anchored by Rob and Maggie. Something annoying I saw, they ran report of people signing a book, and instead of telling us where to go, they told us we have ot watch CBS4News at 11. One would stick around and watch if there was no Internet, but considering there is I don’t see why they just can’t give us the straight dope instead of “upselling us” to their later newscast. Stations need to drop this acting up as if they’re the only place to get news.
- rather interesting that WTVJ has Michael Williams and Jackie Nespral on tonight. Tony Segreto seems to be missing
Worst day
Very sad and angry day for us Bulgarians. Unfortunately only the military is leaving this hell hole, contractors are left to their own devices and we’ll porbably see more of this
