Jeebus Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 She's the tall blonde in white. She's easily the second most attractive girl in the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooch Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I don't think you could confuse her with Chau Nguyen or Phil Archer! HA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes stations look for a specific look. IE: Hair, Race, Man-Woman, Size, Experience especially doing a weekday show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to be an anchor? How do you know your internship that far out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 How do you know so much? Is that what you are going to school for? You want to be an anchor? How do you know your internship that far out?Yes, I will attend either University of Houston or Sam Houston State University for a BA degree in Broadcast Journalism, and yes ABC 13 takes interns every year. I've already done a great deal of studying about this field of work, so I kind of know alot, but still way more for me to know and learn.

editor Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 She was with 39 for a while, then went up to WBBM-TV (CBS O&O) in Chicago. She was there for about a year before being bounced. She must have sent multiple resumes to just about station in the market, but found no takers (her family is in Chicago). She tried to get back into 39 in Houston, but they wouldn't have her. By my estimate, it took about 18 months for her to find the KTRK gig. That's a long time for someone who looks like she does. Things must be getting tough out there.
