Who's leaving the NewsChannel 4 morning show?

[BailJumper]

I hear the "death toll" is up to 5 now since the new takeover.

I cannot really say I am loyal to any of them. I surf through 4,5,9 and 25 during 12,5,6 and 10.

I leave it on 9 in the morning because they cover more local stuff and they are on the air the longest out of the four. I cannot stand any of the national local programming. I could careless about the lastest recipes or misleading medical research stories or any of the other celebrity crap.

I will admit my PIP is getting more excercise in the mornings these days since Lauren Richardson made it to the OKC airwaves.

It was at three last I heard a week ago, so that would make sense.

[BaconCheeseburgerDeluxe]

Hopefully a better news organization will be the end result. The one thing I do not like about KFOR is the redneck news and the stupid elderly person of the week. These stories make the national news and make Oklahomans look like inbred hillbillies.

I just saw the video of the announcement. Granted, it was Heather Holman.

Also. Keep in mind, I never said it was not her. I said most teasers turn out to be duds. On occasion, they are not. Still too much hype, however.

I'll give you that there's way too much hype behind these teasers (Lance West's gaywad "what to do when you fall through the ice" story, anyone?), but there has to be some kernel of truth to them or there wouldn't be anything to tease in the first place.

After the promos they ran, there was no way that it wasn't gonna be one of the three.

Lin-da! Lin-da! Lin-da! Lin-da! Lin-da! Lin-da! Lin-da!

KFOR would become infinitely more-watchable, in my opinion. . .

Who are the other four? I haven't heard who all are gone.

[jbrown84]

I'm guessing that's people behind the scenes.

You're right. Heather is the only "personality" that has left, and that was her decision.

This is something I will never understand. If you don't like someone and decide not to watch, that's fantastic. That's your opinion and you're defintiely entitled to it. However, to chant someone's name in hopes of them losing their livelihood, even in jest on an anonymous message board, is just flat out cold. I don't think Linda will ever say "Matt lost his job. Good! I didn't like the way he mopped floors anyway. HA HA!"

[BailJumper]

I personally don't think Linda is long for KFOR. Her main admin ally got the axe too. But you never know.

[NE Oasis]

I'll stick with KFOR. I don't really want a lot of hoopla you get from the other channels before I've had a couple of cups of coffee. I wake up kind of -itchy. I prefer to just hear the story and see the weather.

Ain't it amazing! I'm a loyal KWTV supporter except the first newscast of the day for the same reasons.

Who is her "main admin ally"?

[BailJumper]

Don't know the off air people's names/titles, but I was told a long time news director (if I'm getting the title right) was or is being let go by the new owners and my source says he was the biggest reason she was still on the air.

Personally, I think older viewers like her and I haven't seen anyone trying to stake a claim to replace her.

That's just how I roll. I'm a cold-hearted, floor-mopping S.O.B.

But don't get me wrong. I don't hope that Linda loses her livelihood--not at all--I'd just prefer to see her take it somewhere else.

Their News Director is still there and as far as I've heard SHE will probably be retained. I really don't see Linda going anywhere, but you never know.

Fair enough. You're definitely entitled to your opinion.

"news director" may not be what I was told. Honestly, it didn't grab too much of my attention as I find most newcasters to be self absorbed goof balls.

I'll ask again when I see him.

I'd be interested in hearing about the "other four",
if it's possible to repeat that info in this forum...

used to work at KFOR, would like to know who's getting the axe...
