For my news-geeky friends...

Although veteran Cleveland anchors Tim Taylor and Wilma Smith have signed new multi year deals to remain at WJW-8-Fox, their work schedule has been cut to include only the station's 6 p.m. weeknight newscast. For years, they've handled both the 6 and 10

That deserves a wow...

I think it's a good decision, too. It's a good way to gracefully phase out Tim and Wilma and give a chance to the "#2" anchor team of Bill and Stacey.

Too bad Goddard is still doing the 5, 6 and 10. I like him and all, but you can tell he's getting to where he can't handle it anymore. You hardly see a forecast without him stumbling over words, forgetting what he's going to say, or him yelling at the control room... they should have moved him to just the 6pm also. As for Andre, yes he deserves the promotion to evenings but I don't think he would want it. He's done mornings for years and is a genuine "morning person". I could see them phasing in Scott Sabol though.

I can't stand Tanchak either, but he fits the image WOIO is trying to project. I mean, they have a drunken frat guy, Sharon Reed posing nude on the late news for "art", firing veteran Jack Marschall and bringing in a bimbo with virtually no news expereince, and the list goes on... as you can tell, I don't care for WOIO that much :)

As for Sabol, I can see him being groomed to be the main weather person... I didn't mean just throw him on now...
