New ABC12 Morning Anchor

Post by autolab » Tue Apr 09, 2019 8:10 am

Who's the new guy who replaced Larry Elliott on WJRT's morning newscast?

IMO, he's underwhelming... just another boring white guy (this assessment coming from a fellow boring white guy.) I'm surprised Veto-Hodak didn't go in a different direction: like make an all female anchor team (beating 5 at its failed experiment with Simnitch-Holland)... or finding someone with experience or diversity (like 25-66's Woolfolk-Spence-Bajjey combo).

For those interested, here's Matt Barbour's bio on ABC12's website:

Do you really need 2 anchors to read news at 430am? Waste of resources IMO. The same with noon.

ABC 12 tends to hire people who will go nowhere.
