I think you are missing some nominees. Some great ones, present and recent past. What is up with that.?
ReplyDeleteDan Ashley - good-looking with a great personality!
ReplyDeleteGotta give "honorable mention" to Jon Kelley over at NBC Bay Area. I haven't been able to stand the guy since he was fledgling sports yahoo in Chicago, but I've seen him jogging shirtless along Chicago's lakefront. The guy is smokin'!
ReplyDeleteJust sayin'.
-Wayne
Check out the Marina after 2pm. He's still jogging. I agree, he's in shape.
DeleteRich! I know you don't care too much for Allen Martin but...come on! He wins as the Bay Area's hottest anchor. Good looking and quite charming.
ReplyDeleteIs this what we've been waiting for?
ReplyDeletemibach is cute
ReplyDeleteFor an old guy, Dan Ashley rocks!
ReplyDeleteDan is polished -- except for his hair-dying escapades. Really, Dan, either let it go gray or have it professionally done and maintained. As it is, it becomes entertainment, as in: What shade is it today?
DeleteRon Burgundy wipes the floor with all of them. Also, I think I threw up a little bit when i saw Raj on the list. We don't have to be politically correct here too do we?
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree. That raj guy is incredibly ugly, dont know why rick keeps insisting he is not. Ugggghhhh.....
DeleteI am not gay but why are Mibach and Sasaki missing from the list? They seem hottish...The contest should be hottest Male tv newsman to broaden the possibilities. Hair plugs should count against a contestant: Ashley and Sommerville
ReplyDeleteLike both of those guys-- and I also like Joe Fonzi!
DeleteAnother vote for hottie Mike Mibach!!
DeleteHow bout none of the above? Thems slim pickens Rich. What about the guy on 4 in the morning, Mark Dannon I think? Hot-ish anyway...and younger!
ReplyDeleteThe only decent choice! I've seen him a couple of times around town. He's even better looking in person.
DeleteNone of the above.
ReplyDeleteI vote for Marty Gonzales on KRON 4 weekend am news. The only great local program on KRON.
Not only is he handsome, he is gracious and one of the good guys around town.
Agreed. Smooth, confident.
DeleteLooks like most of these posts are dudes, I thought the ladies were supposed to be picking. man
ReplyDeleteRich, Rich, Rich. I think you might be talkin' to the wrong women folks here. At least ME. I don't look at professional guys doing their jobs as "hotties."
ReplyDeleteWell, ok. George Clooney. Can I have lunch with HIM?
Hmmm, both winner and loser get to have lunch with you. Who's paying?
ReplyDeleteKen Bastida.
ReplyDeleteMy first choice was Bastida until he shaved his groovy stache and stopped perming his hair. Please put Raj in last place. Pretty slim pickings in the Bay Area. Thanks for giving us ladies an opportunity to be sexist, I was feeling a little left out during the hottest weather chick debate.
ReplyDeleteWhere are all the hot black & latino anchors? Oh wait...
ReplyDeleteHow about none of the above?
ReplyDeleteKen Wayne!
ReplyDeleteThink I'll pass on that group. How about Dennis Richmond in his heyday?
ReplyDeleteRumors are Dennis has the complete and total PACKAGE. He'd win if the contestants modeled in briefs
DeleteWOW! Sexist AND Homophobic! Another 415 Media EXCLUSIVE! Pathetic.
Deletenone of the above!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteRich, why not include your male readers in on the poll?
ReplyDeleteHow about KRON's Jan Wahl, he's hot!
ReplyDeleteJon Kelley, he hands down better looking than these guys, but if I had to choose one - Raj Mathai
ReplyDeleteMy vote is for John Kelley.
ReplyDeleteHello Rich:
ReplyDeleteNow that you've offered the "hottest" male anchors why
haven't you given the audience one man's view of the the
"most attractive" female anchors. You know, the list I
sent you.
Vicki Liviakis was crowned the "most attractive" with an
interesting list in alphabetical order of many others. The
list also named a "hall of fame" which included Sydney
Kohara.
Come on Rich let's provide the audience what they want. I bet
you'll see a hissy fight from those anchors left off.
