But they've also gotten rid of their weekend anchors and use their sports guy as a weekend anchor. He was also filling in for not one but both morning news personalities. They also bounced their veteran female morning news anchor for someone who is about the same age but appears to be fresh out of college. The morning male anchor is married to the hottie evening news anchor, so I think he's less expendable. Maybe the message here is volume, not depth. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
