One day they put Frank Malicoat and Rosemary on two shifts, morning and evenings and one day Frank Somersville or Julie need to work on a weekend. Stay with CNN or avoid KTVU.

I think that she would be better suited to trying to get a posting here in the Bay Area as a CNN reporter who could be based out of here and even do CNN anchoring gigs from here. Going to the current KTVU would be a big let down, it is not the place she left and I think she would be really frustrated working at what has become a second rate shop with third rate management.

All...CNN pay is competitive with ABC, CBS and NBC. All depends on the contracts and whether they specify a salary, salary plus appearance fees, or daily rate if a freelancer. No one goes to CNN for minimum wage.<br /><br />As for bringing back former anchors, the old saying is very true - you can't go home again. The return of a former anchor is a short-lived curiosity and not longer after the ratings drop.<br /><br />The world has changed and so has the business. Even if Sara Sidner or Dana King want to "come home," no one, repeat no one will pay them the money they want and expect.<br /><br />My advice: watch something else if the local news stations are not to your liking. There are plenty of online news sources to keep you informed or spend 20-30 minutes with KCBS radio. You would be amazed at the amount of aggravation you will save yourself when you don't watch the local news.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
