| - After living here for 13 years, and giving all the local news broadcasts a fair chance and evaluation, I have to confess these good folks are the most comprehensive.
John Huck is the Class of all local News Anchors. That says it all. I'm wondering why he's still here in the number 49 size media market, and not in a larger market like San Francisco, Chicago, Dallas, or Los Angeles. Either the local station owners are paying him well, or he must really like it here. He's for sure the major asset to the News Broadcast.
I think they made a mistake letting Elizabeth Watts get away. She's in Colorado Springs, now, and from what I hear, raising a child. Hope she's happy. I do think she was good, and the local Fox Station made a mistake letting her get away.
I can not figure out for the life of me why they added Christine Meddela. My guess is they wanted to be politically correct having her replace Olivia Fierro, whom is also hispanic. Honestly, they had Elizabeth Watts, and now they have a couple of other ladies like Faith Tanner, and Alicia Dietsch, who are much better and would have better chemistry with John Huck. Nothing personal, but I'm hoping they say adios to Meddela when her contract is up.
I had the pleasure of meeting and talking to Kevin Bolinger. What is he doing still in Las Vegas? He could be a local sports anchor in a larger market like San Diego, Phoenix, or Los Angeles. They are lucky to have him. He's wasting his talent here promoting the UNLV football and basketball teams which are the laughing stock of the Mountain West.
Overall, this broadcast seems to be the best rounded, good reporters,and their morning group seems very community oriented, and not a cheap infomerical with phony experts (example; Morning Blend on Chanel 13, Las Vegas Now on Chanel 8). It would seem if a reporter is not that good (Ophelia Young), they replace them with someone more professional.
Please promote Alicia Dietsch, Monica Jackson, or Faith Tanner to the night broadcast, so I can truly enjoy it again. Oh, and stop making John Huck try to color coordinate with Christine Meddela, and I will give you 5 Stars.
