Dana King would have been all aboard. Sure, she's an aspiring artist (sculpture) and she ventured into politics but she was also pragmatic. You can make a lot of impact in the community when you're anchoring the nighly news on a major network's O/O (owned-operated) station, (CBS). I believe Dana knows this then and now and I also believe that someone with a smidgen of creative growth at PIX knows this. Even today, Dana is quite engaging, news savvy and possesses a great deal of TV News journalic accumen.
A Dana King reunion at PIX will never happen-- that would require a whole bunch of inside and outside baseball manuvering. Ego, financials, logistics, and plain reality are in the way.
Too bad. Because Dana King still has it, across the board. And PIX doesn't have the gravitas to pull it off. They much prefer 25-30 age blonds who may have military service on their resume.
Ana Chávez was replaced with Dana King. That’s like Joe DiMaggio being replaced by Mickey Mantle. 2 anchors that moved the needle.
