I hope you're not going into journalism. Man, you gotta get your facts straight, not to mention your typos and grammar.
Neda, the new reporter at KOVR came from Channel 2 in Reno, not Channel 12. There is no Channel 12in Reno.
And the new reporter at KXTV came from a station in Decatur, Illinois NOT Decatur, Georgia. There are no TV news stations in Decatur, Georgia except perhaps the stations in a nearby little town called Atlanta.
Sheesh.

Neda was the lead reporter for KTVN she seemd pretty good when I watched her. I am sure they didn't want to see her leave because she usually was the "big story" reporter...

Actually, you're sloppy. Even your correction is wrong! Neda came from the CBS station in Reno, not ABC. It's right in the logo of the photo you posted.

I think people can offer constructive criticism without being rude. People sometimes make mistakes, even if their oversights are somewhat obvious. There's no need to badger someone for making a few mistakes. I hope Anonymous realizes that, even in journalism, not everyone is perfect.

Actually, Radio Matthew, if you are in journalism you are supposed to strive for perfection. In the end, cold, hard facts are all that matter. Journalism is NOT supposed to be a collection of guesses, suppositions and the hope that maybe you got it right.
Journalism also means having class and good taste and not writing cutesy ethnic slurs like "love you long time" in web stories about a prostitution bust.

In a channel 10 broadcast in August the lead male anchor made a statement. Patty Souza from weather than made a comment in regards to his age. There was dead silence for 15 seconds. Patty than said I guess Dale and I are having a serious moment. Dale responded by ssying the he was just about to welcome her back from vacation before she made that comment. That was the last time Patty was seen on Channel 10. They began replacing her with other weather staff. Prior to all this happening, Patty had stated on TWITTER account, how she was looking forward to returning from vacation. I still have her last Channel 10 broadcast on my DVR. Truly one of the most uncomfortable moments I have seen in 50 years of watching broadcast news.

It's the KCRA "NIGHT Team" not the "Nightside Team."

"Danny Lopez" is actually former Brownsville reporter Kenny Lopez.

No matter what level of your fitness, developing a proper fitness program will allow
you to make improvements to your golf swing. Skiing and snowboarding are
strenuous sports which demand a lot of endurance, so your
usual set of ten to fifteen reps really isn''.

The problem is that many do not follow through with their fitness plans and thus fail within the first
3 months of starting a new fitness plan or
routine.

I've listened to this a dozen or more times and still find it delightful and sooooo original in concept. We realize that we don't need to listen to outside authorities; we are not guided by our
internal authority. It the radio was the only one that used
to deliver the days news and weather updates.

Instead of eating to make yourself feel better find other methods to cope.
You could always join a fitness related group on Facebook, though.
Most of us love it; going to Mac - Donald or Burger King from time to time.
