I think my mom plays bridge with Ardis Kenneally. They are around the same age (80). But I thought she did "Romper Room" (I never liked that show... too... feminine?) James PS. Honorable mentions to Katrina Hancock and Jennifer Hammond in sports. Bernie Smilovitz drives me nuts with his schtick. Same with Gaidica in weather. Sonny Elliot is good because his schtick is at least original. Not the same old stuff... My time is important. Whatever happenned to 1/2-hour local, 1/2-hour national/world news? Now you get 15 minutes of news in an hour, 15 minutes of "What's Next on the news...", and a 1/2 hour of cat-food and medicine ads. Phooey! | ||

My vote for best street reporter (non-anchor) would be Roger Weber at Channel 4. Cheryl Chodun is Channel 7 is also solid ... remember before she went in front of the camera at WWJ Newsradio 95? (before they had to say 950) Most annoying (from experience) is Jason Carr at Fox 2 ... Heather Catallo may be nice to look at but can be a little abrasive in person, along with most of the females in Fox 2 Problem Solver crew. Most of the anchors in town are both solid professionals and classy people as well ... | ||

I gotta go with Carmen Harlan . . . she is apart of Detroit History . I grew up with her, and I just love seeing that familiar face. I also gotta give props to Miss Fanchon Stinger (Mercy HS C/O 89)!! | ||

Speaking of News Personalities . . .was anyone watching Fox 2 Morning News during Superbowl week? When they returned from commercial, there was no audio for Ben Bailey's weather segments. So there he is, standing in the snow/rain with an umbrella speaking without sound. A few seconds later, the camera caught him mouth a profane word, and then the threw his umbrella on the ground! They cut really quick over to Allen and Fanchon. Did anyone see this other than me??? | ||

My vote is for one classy and talented lady, Amyre Makeupson. http://www.covenanthousemi.org /board/member.php?mid=11 | ||

I think MacDonald & Weber are the two best reporters @ WDIV, if not the whole Detroit area. Chodun is good, too! | ||

I mostly watch WXYZ 7. It seems like a pretty solid newscast--Diana Lewis, Robbie Timmons, Carolyn Clifford, Jerry Hodak, and others are pretty good. He's not always on there, but Jim Madaus (weather) seems to be a cool guy. | ||

I always liked Carmen Harlen, she is professional, intelligent yet down to earth. Diana Lewis is another very professional broadcaster. Jerry Hodak for weather is another class act. Cheryl Chodun and Bill Proctor for on the street as well. | ||
