HtownWxBoy Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I've always watched channel 13 since I moved to Houston... no major reason why, just started watching them and it stuck. The other channels are OK, 13 just seems better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewMND Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Eric Barajas is hot! They should let him try a newscast shirtless, he always looks like he's about to bust out of that suit, like the Hulk or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I never liked 13's style, but there's no disputing the fact that it has the most resources in the market (both people and toys). If you're not sure where to go to find out what's going on, 13's a safe bet, followed by 11, followed by a hobo on the railroad tracks.(A couple of years ago I would have put in a plug for 39 being #3 most reliable, but that era has passed.)

wxman Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Channel 2 is my favorite! Btw, Travis, I can assure you, is NOT gay. I went to school with him at A&M. However I know plenty that are...including me! lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totheskies Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Chalk up another vote for ABC13... when I first moved here, I was a big fan of Fox26 in the morning, but then I discovered how "balanced" the news is on channel 13. The morning show delivers the serious news with class, and always manages to throw in some humor as well. Casey Curry is my favorite meterologist in town!!!! But even beyond Casey, the channel 13 weather team is just awesome. Second favorite is David Tillman... he's very honest with his weather forecasts. I do however wish we could switch up some of the anchor slots though. I agree, Art Rascon is a fabulous reporter, but not suited for the anchor chair. Ted Oberg just perplexes me. He just doesn't look like a news reporter at all... he does a great job though, and I always watch his stories and specials. Eric Barajas is not only the hottest male anchor in town, his reporting is always very fair and balanced (sorry to steal FoxNews' slogan). If I had a suggestion for a very dynamic evening news team, I'd go with Ilona Carsona and Eric Barajas. I like Gina Gaston, but her clothes are weird. I wish channel 13 could steal Owen Conflenti from Local 2... I'd love to see Owen and Sharron Melton paired up for the morning, and I think Tom Koch would work well for the midday newscasts (he always seems a little dry for the morning). Anyways, congrats to abc13!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totheskies Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 One last thing...Channel 13 really stretched themselves to the limit during the Hurricane Ike coverage. They broadcast the news continuously for at least a week after the storm. I watched the news coverage on my laptop from Dallas, and they really pulled together as a team then.

EMME Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 i must disagree. while i do like her for "lighter" newscasts, her facial expressions are very distracting. then when she wears her latex dress or her pilgrim outfit, it makes me wonder what mario elie has had to put up with.I seriously thought you were describing Lucy Noland. I hated Lucy Noland but she did a great job during the hurricane and I only had transistor radio, so I got past the poses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of 13 at all. For me it's Channel 2, Fox, 11 and 13 in that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the only voice for those of us in the thick of the after cane misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
