24994J 5269 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Larry also anchored the 4am show last week, and I think Ana's anchored more in the last month (4, 6 and midday), than in the whole decade before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Rubber 609 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Larry also anchored the 4am show last week, and I think Ana's anchored more in the last month (4, 6 and midday), than in the whole decade before. Ana seems to be the clear #2 female for the morning news now that Erin is an evening reporter. Larry anchoring the 4am is surprising, though. I would have expected a solo show and/or literally any available general assignment reporter filling in before I would have expected Larry on the 4am show. P.S. Do we have a permanent 4-6am female anchor yet? Could the plan be to groom Ana for the slot? Not sure if she could still do Around Town PLUS anchoring. Maybe they'd give Around Town to someone else if Ana became an anchor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they'd give Around Town to someone else if Ana became an anchor. Robin was stunned walking into the studio to find out Larry had already been there, as seen in a Facebook live stream that I'm not in a position to post. And no, no permanent anchor in the early shift. If they use viewer input as an indication, Ana won't get the slot. Most comments are along the lines of "I love her doing Around Town, but not a fan of her anchoring". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She seems like a nice person, but her voice is like nails on a chalkboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around Town would likely go to Maggie Carlo if that happens since she does a segment similar to Around Town on the weekend morning news.

Most comments are along the lines of "I love her doing Around Town, but not a fan of her anchoring". I dunno... if they took the viewer feedback regarding Ana that seriously, they would have taken her off by now and had Cortney Hall or someone else anchor. I betcha if Facebook was around back when Robin started anchoring, they would have said the same thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eat News 4738 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 4:00 AM and Ana Belaval do not go together. That's like Tom and Jerry; they hate each other. Ever since Tom got out of rehab ,,,both Tom and Jerry have been working hard on their relationship. Both understand there is no room for violence anymore. We all just hope they don't pull an "itchy and scratchy" and end up drunks on some stupid kids show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tom and Jerry analogy is funnier if you replace the cat and mouse with Skilling and Taft. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Rubber 609 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Welp, that might explain why Lauren abruptly left NBC5. Much like how Ben Bradley abruptly left ABC7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5269 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Lauren's move to 'GN was like the worst-kept secret in Chicago...at least in my own head. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 818 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Welp, that might explain why Lauren abruptly left NBC5. Lauren got a raw deal from WMAQ. She was seen as one of their 'future stars,' but when it became clear that she wasn't going to get a weekday spot anytime soon (if ever), she moved on. It seems like no one wants to work weekends at WMAQ nor do they want to 'wait their turn.' Patience is not a virtue for them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
