This goes with his skin tone. When he has black or very dark hair, it makes his face look very pale. That, plus the widows peak, takes on a "Vincent Price" look. Yes, this is shallow to even contemplate, but hell, TV is a visual medium. What can I say?<br />Otherwise, he seems like a fine anchor and nice guy, which is even more important.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-14645041259305530192017-05-13T06:49:40.348-07:002017-05-13T06:49:40.348-07:00I worked in radio several years ago, when both sta...I worked in radio several years ago, when both stations were in the same building.

For both anchors, they are starting to age which worries viewers will the station one day try to demote their air time due to whatever reasons. My best guess is the longer you work for the station, the higher salary you deserve to get for your hard work. Cheryl Jennings is one reporter who cover the 1989 Earthquake and her hard work as a LIVE reporter got replaced which limits her air-time. If any station can keep and allow all long time reporters work until their retire, that is what I can a trusted station with the daily good news.
