Channel 9 news has stayed true over the years. There two main anchors seen in this video have been with the channel for decades.

I don't think she's all that as a broadcaster, either. Best weatherman in the area is Danny Treanor.

She is a great example of why the local news stinks. She is on the air because she is hot. That's all. It's an insult to viewers that she throw her on there simply because she is hot like we're a bunch of mindless idiots who only watch tv for TnA.

LOL, okay but you said hot, hot and TnA all in a span of two sentences.

Unfortunate that this is endemic to the "industry" not just to our local news.

And I also disagree about the fox weather lady. Not only does she look smokin, she also seems professional, I never hear her mess up. Overall I think shes a good meteorologist.

LOL, you never hear her "mess up" because your attention is elsewhere

You're right and I hope that is a trend that ends quickly. To my knowledge, Fox 35 is the only one that does that. What makes her even less credible is she does the traffic. Don't tell me she went to meteorological school and is really good at if they're having her do morning traffic because the other weather guys certainly aren;t.
