Forumers, don't we have cheesy talking heads and hairdos on local television channels? Up for a poll about who you like or don't like?

Agreed. But, so does every city. Poll away.

I don't pay much attention to what Betsy Kling wears, but IMO she has by far the best weather forecast in Cleveland.

She always covers how much snow is expected in various areas with zonal maps, and she has slow motion graphics that show the advance of storm fronts chronologically. Even other weather forecasters on WKYC don't master those informative maps and graphics as well as Kling. It must be a difficult skill.

Apart from Kling, I find most Cleveland news and sports TV broadcasts worthless and time-wasting.

I like the Channel 5 news team; I think they have the best chemistry, and they're goofy and lovable, especially Mark Johnson and Danita Harris. Mark Johnson is obviously a very knowledgeable meteorologist as well.

Sarah Shookman is pretty.

We live in a poor county (nearly half of the population is on government welfare). These vermin make a living by dishing out crime porn involving people in trouble, every day. The cannot be more dishonorable ways of making a living, IMHO.

I met Mark Johnson in the middle of nowhere Maine, of all places. It was when I was much younger. He definitely knows his stuff ... he showed me some cool things about algae in lakes.

I agree, I mentioned her hairdo because the OP included it in his post and since I do notice her outfits, I can say she always looks nice there too. So points for Betsy on that score.

On the business side, she does give the best weather reports that are easy to follow. For me that's a big plus because my old mind is sometimes not fast enough for the more speedy talking forecasters who often give too much information too quickly. The graphics are are definitely a plus.

Hollie Giangreco, Catherine Bosley, Harry Boomer... I watch very little of them but still can't stand them. I didnt know that adults could get fascinated with weather porn.

Cleveland TV took a hit when Big Chuck and Little John stepped down.
