Uma's Special

This coming Sunday, July 2, Fox News Channel is scheduled to air a special entitled A Special For Young People. It is a sequel to the original special that first aired last Christmas weekend. And yes, FNC's very own Uma Pemmaraju will host the special, which is slated to premiere at 7:00 PM Pacific, 10:00 PM Eastern Time, on FNC. Like the first special, this telecast will explore on the accomplishments and achievements of some of our prominent seasoned citizens. This NEW special is scheduled to air again at 10:00 PM Sunday night Pacific Time/1:00 AM Monday morning Eastern Time. Please keep in mind that Uma's special may be subject to delay, interruption, or pre-emption in cast of major breaking news developments.

Hot New Promo Pics Of Jane and Uma!

Here are two brand new Fox News Channel promotional photographs of anchorwomen Jane Skinner and Uma Pemmaraju.
 

O'Ding On Jamie?

The one Saturday hour of Fox News Live time that had been eliminated was recently restored (1-2PM, Pacific Time). Now, you're seeing Jamie Colby host twice each Saturday and Sunday, by herself at 11AM Pacific Time both days, and on the other times, co-piloting with Gregg Jarrett and/or Bob Sellers. Not only that, she gets to play guest anchorwoman on too many weekdays, pinch-hitting for Brigitte Quinn or Martha MacCallum. The reason I wrote "too much" is because that takes away hosting opportunities for Uma Pemmaraju and Patti Ann Browne. And that's not right.

Now, here is a 1969 Datson 2000. 

1966 AMC Marlin

I have decided to include a few photographs I took at Hawthorne Park in Medford, Oregon on June 17, 2006 during Medford Crusin' weekend, starting with this 1966 American Motors Marlin 2-door fastback.

Here's Fox News senior business correspondent, Brenda Buttner. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YAHOO! GROUPS HONORING UMA AND CAROL!

Today marks the second birthday of two great Yahoo! groups. The Carol Iovanna group and THE Uma Pemmaraju group, both dedicated to these two veteran broadcast journalists.

Changes At Fox News, Washington

With Tony Snow's departure for the Bush Administration, Brian Wilson, who has been the Sunday anchorman for Weekend Live, will become the Saturday show's anchorman as well. Major Garrett will become the new congressional correspondent. Mike Emanuel becomes the new Pentagon correspondent, replacing Bret Baier, who becomes the new chief White House correspondent, in turn replacing "Campaign" Carl Cameron, who becomes chief political correspondent, coverting the mid-term elections.

Carol

Here's Carol Iovanna, as seen closing out a Fox News update heading into a rebroadcast of The Beltway Boys on January 28, 2006. 

Carol's SNC Days

Here is Carol Iovanna, as seen on the old ABC-Westinghouse co-owned Satellite News Channel, on its final day of operation, October 27, 1983. SNC had recently been sold to Turner Broadcasting (which owned its rival, Cable News Network), for expressed purpose of closing it down. 

Uma

This one's for all those Uma Pemmaraju fans and followers out there. She was wrapping up a Fox News update on March 1 of this year. Uma's had a few opportunities to host this year, a number that may be declining this year(one factor could well be the elimination of Fox News Live time on weekends, as mentioned in an earlier post). Uma's a talented professional who should be hosting on a regular basis. 

Donna

I know that Donna Fiducia has a lot of fans and followers out there. Here
s a shot of Donna, finishing a Fox News update that aired during a rebroadcast of the March 1, 2006 edition of The O'Reilly Factor. Donna should be given a chance to host on a regular basis.  

Shep and Jane

This is from March 1 of this year, while the Studio B set (which also houses Fox & Friends) was under renovation. Studio B with Shepard Smith originated that day from the Fox News Channel newsroom. Here's Shep, with Jane Skinner. 

Less Time For "Fox News Live" on Weekends

There seems to be less time for Fox News Live on weekends. On Saturdays, it's only on from 11AM-12 Noon. The period from 1-3PM has been replaced with the prerecorded Wall Street Journal Report with Paul Gigot for a half-hour, followed by The Big Story Weekend with Julie Bandaras. On Sundays, FNL airs from 7-9AM, then after Weekend Live with Brian Wilson, resumes from 11AM-12 Noon, then resurfaces from 1-2PM. On both days, you have the weekend version of Studio B with Trace Gallagher from 12Noon to 1PM. The elimination of three hours of FNL time on weekends means less opportunity for not only a regular anchorman like Gregg Jarrett, it also closes a little more opportunity for hosting time for the Patti Ann Brownes and Uma Pemmarajus.

All times mentioned are Pacific times.

Uma's Birthday

I forgot to mention that this past Friday (March 31) was Uma Pemmaraju's birthday. Hopefully, Uma had herself a very happy birthday.

My Network TV Signs With Five Affils
By Allison Romano -- Broadcasting & Cable, 3/7/2006 6:37:00 PM
Fox’s new My Network TV inked deals with five affiliates Tuesday, bringing its distribution to 40% of the country. Raycom Media is committing three of its stations – WUAB Cleveland, KFVE Honolulu and WBXH Baton Rouge, La. – to the new mini-network, which is launching Sept. 5.
“I love the concept of My Network TV’s business and programming model, and am betting on the unparalleled track record behind the My Network TV leadership and News Corp.,” Raycom CEO Paul McTear said in a statement.
Also signing on are Mirage Media’s KPSE Palm Springs, Calif., and Capitol Broadcasting’s WB affiliate WWWB Charlotte, N.C. Capitol owns both the UPN and The WB in Charlotte, and committed the UPN affiliate last week to The CW network.
The deals come the same day that the CW also signed five more stations to bring its clearance to about 55% of the country. Both networks say they will reach more than 90% of U.S. TV homes by launch.
