| - There's a major reason why I love Fox 5 news, but let me ramp up to that so I don't shoot my review wad in one note.
What else... Oh, the 3 featured anchors.
1) Olivia: she's cute in a morning talk show kinda way. Apparently she recently moved here. she appears to be learning about annual events and the others occasionally "teach" her on the air about what has gone on in town years past. She is un-jaded. And instead of being cynical wondering when the bricks will fall on her, I actually like the newbie's point of view. I had a lot more hope of things when I moved here. It is a tough time. It's so easy to look on how we got out of recession in the past, but the truth is, we don't know what to believe in the media. Or why spend the time looking? Why would it be easier to believe things will get worse and over question flickers of things on the rise? Okay, lil too philosophical before happy hour.
2) Darren Peck: this by far is the happiest weatherman on Vegas tv today. He is just happy about EVERYTHING, weather if the forecast has been the same for 3 months, or all hell is breaking loose. He has a vibe of "Look, the tsunamis are blowing all the roofs of the casinos off, better bring a jacket out there! Let's go to the 3 day forecast..." I believe he was traumatized by by Casey Kasem's Ponderous. Look for the clip online, infamous recording of Casey having a breakdown with what he has to read on the air. Darren must have vowed he would NEVER get caught in this situation. Someday, on another channel, we may figure out there is another side to Darren...
3) John Huck. Oh, there's a 4th... so, John Huck hosts my favorite segment on the news. He's all over the social networking sites also, which I suppose is alright. The 4th announcer is Stefanie Jay and there is a bit of sexual tension when they banter off each other. Every news team should have a will they/ have they couple. There will be a day when we see a split second eye rolling or tone of voice letting us know something betwixt them went overboard at the bar last night. and that's why we race home every day to watch.
So, John Huck hosts the Rant, by far the BIGGEST reason to watch the news. People e-mail and call in and basically bitch about what is going on in the news. Yes, there are unintelligible people and ones that have NO idea what they're talking about. I just love that people can bitch on the air, I can see when the broadcasters want to and can't. There are a few dj's on the radio that do this and go thru suspensions and all that. there have been a couple of times where I had a real rigid opinion about something and someone ranted and made me actually change my mind about something. It was an angle I'd never considered before. And I don't remember the actual news segments ever doing that. Ever.
It's not all gloom, people thank others for helping them out when they were stuck on the road or something. I am so damn tired hearing about finances, there should be a required good Samaritan news story on every day. I had always hoped for a Good News show, but without all the over perkiness of the morning shows.
