I started watching Fox 2 News morning about 20 years ago because it was the only station with just…read morelocal news in the early morning. It was great to listen to while I was getting ready for work. I still watch every single day from the time I get up until noon most of the time.
I love the morning crew, with the exception of Cam. I sometimes think she has early onset dementia. She repeats herself, she makes absolutely no sense when ad-libbing during broadcast, she's RUDE and never, ever seems believable (such as the Phyllis Diller laugh). Why she is still on the show is beyond me because she adds NOTHING!
Now to Jason Carr and Lee Thomas......up until several months ago, they were a couple of my favorite people in the morning, however, Jason now does the growl voice much too often and it just ruins his delivery. Lee Thomas has gotten around to doing the same darned thing and it just doesn't have any place on this type of show. I mute the TV when they start that silly back and forth nothingness that Fox has put in as filler to make sure someone is talking the whole time during the very long morning broadcast.
I know that all of the local stations do it, but, WHY do they send street reporters out in horrendous weather, late at night, when no one is around, to follow up on stories that are many hours and sometimes days old? It makes the station managers look like idiots, not the reporters, and you don't get any more information than if they just did the report in the studio.
LET IT RIP! One of the worst parts of Huel Perkins spots. It's just chaos that no one can decipher because everyone talks over everyone, including Perkins. The only person with enough real talent and control to host LET IT RIP is Taryn Asher! That girl knows how to take control and/or get people back on track. I watch her every time and turn off the Huel segments.
I wish they'd make some of the young, new people that they have on the street (Amy Adams, Roop Raj, Erica Erikson, and Robin more permanent studio personalities. It's so nice when they replace the people that are on vacation. Deana Centofanti, is without a doubt, the central star in the morning. Now that Jay Thomas is on for the weekday mornings, it's a great show. Q is a really pleasant person to listen to also and was a great addition to the team.
I'll keep watching every day, but please put Cam somewhere else, like maybe find a radio station to put her back on.
