Here is Gretchen Carlson, E.D. Hill's successor on Fox & Friends.
Gretchen Carlson, who had hosted the two-hour Fox News Live block formerly warmed over by Brigitte Quinn is joining the cast of Fox & Friends this coming Monday. She is, in effect, swapping dayparts with E.D. Hill, who had been one of the hosts of F&F since the show's beginnings in 1998. E.D. will, beginning this Monday as well, be seen anchoring Fox News Live from 7-9AM Pacific Time. Remember that back in 1998 and 1999, E.D. hosted FNL's forerunner, Fox News Now.
Beginning Monday, September 25, Jane Skinner will begin her new regular hosting assignment as she replaces Martha MacCallum as anchorwoman for the 11AM to 12 Noon Pacific Time hour of Fox News Live. For Jane, it is a new hosting assignment that has been long in coming. As for Martha, she will host a new show on that same date, starting at 10Am Pacific Time entitled The Live Desk with Martha MacCallum, which in turn, is replacing DaySide, whose two headliners, Mike Jerrick and Juliet Huddy, are set to host a new midmorning show starting early next year on Fox owned-and-operated televsion stations. Some might say that DaySide never really recovered from last year's departure of Linda Vester, who left the show to go on extended maternity leave. They should have given that show to Uma Pemmaraju and/or Donna Fiducia instead of two teenagers masquerading as adults.
Fox News unveiled its' redesigned web site today. I actually liked the old design better. What happeded to the promo photos of the on-air talent? Have the brain trust taken them down? Any comments from the proverbial Peanut Gallery?
Does anyone out there have any idea what has happened to Donna Fiducia and Carol Iovanna?
Add Uma Pemmaraju to the higher-profile Fox News Channel on-air talent handling overnight updates. Tonight makes it two nights in a row for Uma.
Over the past two or more weeks, higher-profile Fox News Channel talent like David Asman, Page Hopkins, Kiran Chetry, Gregg Jarrett, Patti Ann Browne, and Lauren Green, among others, along with freelancer Darby Dunn, have been doing FNC overnight news updates instead of Donna Fiducia and Carol Iovanna. Whether Donna and/or Carol may be on vacation, or assignment, or ended up with a contract that was not renewed remains to be seen.
Here is a look at former FNC anchorwoman Laurie Dhue, now a correspondent on Geraldo Rivera's syndicated (through Twentieth Television) Geraldo At Large.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Here's Carol Iovanna, as seen closing out a Fox News update heading into a rebroadcast of The Beltway Boys on January 28, 2006.
