Oregon Media Insiders

I have to agree with the comment above. As someone who has been obsessed with news, graphics, and sets since I was in the 5th Grade (I didn't have enough friends), the set looks amateurish. I am sure it wasn't inexpensive, what a waste. The graphics are too busy. Weather graphics unattractive. I grew up in Minneapolis/St. Paul where it seemed that all stations got a new set and graphic ever year. I recall one year, WCCO (CBS) changed to a set where the 4 anchors all looked like they were sitting in individual old fashioned wooded hot tubs. Not kidding. However, I always looked forward to the changes.

Brian Wood on the other hand is definitely a keeper. I would elevate him above Steve Dunn. He is a real professional. I thought he looked familiar, then I read before he was at a station in baltimore, where he was let go, much to the chagrin of local viewers, he was at KIRO up in Seattle. Excellent presence and a great voice.

Traffic in morning. I'm sure she is a very nice person, but lauren needs to go. It's always "Slow going on area roads" Enough already. She also is much too nervous.

Just my two cents.
