~ Beverly Brooks, Charlene Shirk, & Kristin Smith, the Hotties ~

[News Watcher]

Yeah, Betsy Kling! BullGator96, I agree with you on both counts! Looks like she landed on her feet in Cleveland, Ohio, where she is doomed to predict the weather for that god-forsaken, no-football-talent city/state. She could've been so much more....

Why can't one of the local stations here hire Hillary Andrews, formerly of the Weather Channel to do the weather on Cable Channel 30? All Hillary, all the time...24/7....woo hoo! That would be must-see TV....

Yeah, replacing Beverly Brooks with Mark Spain was a master stroke in stupidity all right. She indeed is searching for greener pastures and is probably out of our market. Newswatcher's list is interesting; but I think we are all hard pressed to fine actual hotness on the Jax airwaves currently. Celine McArthur and her off-beat hairstyle is interesting and I wouldn't kick Lindy Thackston out of bed for eating crackers; but the rest? Eh. Though after a few Beam or Jacks and coke, Mary Baer, in the right light, could fulfill a school marm fantasy. I do agree with one of News Watcher's observations whole-heartedly;
Lauren Freeman was the hottest, smartest, most genuine thing to ever hit our airwaves and Houston is lucky to have her...
Anyone else miss her, Donna Savarese, Sally Fox, Charlene Shirk, or Juliette Huddy?? Now that was local news "talent." Jennifer Brice and Roybn Sieron were nice "journalists" as well.

Yeah Mary B. has that PTA mom look to her but I think she's hot and cool. She's always laughing her azz off at little things while that older white guy next to her is scowling at her for having a sense of humor. He needs a triple dose of laxative. Anyone know if Beverly Brooks is single? Taken? Favorite happy hour spot? lol.

Is Hillary Andrews not on TWC any more? I heard she left late night to early morning and lose track of her. I didn't know she left the station all together.

Just read Hillary's bio on weather.com . She's still there.

Right, I don't know about the weather chick; but hanging out with Beverly Brooks, buying her a few drinks...sounds good...Now it could be the lack of fineness in the Jax broadcasting landscape, or advancing alcoholism; but in the last month or so, Mary Baer has gotten more interesting. Her Pollyana laughing has gotten less annoying; her skin looks tanner, her wedding ring is missing, her hair style seems younger, and on certain Fridays her PTA president, Talbot's wardrobe takes a slight turn towards the slutty. Call me crazy; but after a decade of not seeing Mary that way...recently...she seems do-able. You know, the good girl turning naughty??? Well just wondering aloud...

Looks like Alissa Carlson got canned from Fox 30 News....first Bev Brooks and now Alissa....it's a bad time to be a hot blond at Fox 30 or CBS 47....

Just wanted to say thank you to all of my amazing viewers and the great run I had in Jacksonville.

[Beverly]

Thank you Jacksonville viewers ! I had a great run in the River City and will continue giving back !

Beverly, I'm confident that I speak for everyone on this blog when I say that we wish you nothing but the best going forward. We would love you to have you back here in a Jacksonville market, and will miss your excellent work as an anchor. Plus, you are as cute as hell! I know you'll land on your feet whereever you go. Good luck....

[BullGator96]

Ditto on Beverly.

So, Michelle Jacobs...hot or not???

Kristin Smith?? I'm thinking yes.

[Bill]

Jennifer Waugh is back on 4 apparently. I don't know about the rest of you, but she's a little too "salesy" for me. Just too much too much. Comes across as fake and pretentious.

Anyone find out where Bev is yet?:-)

Yep. God bless Jennifer for helping to repopulate the nation. But as an anchor; yikes- unwatchable. Remember when she used to do stand-ups as a reporter?? She broadcast more with her hands than her mouth. They must tie her hands down under the anchor desk. It's not just that she replaced the etheral Lauren and fails to fill the Beverly void;
I agree with Bill...she just tries too hard to be likable and seems a bit fake. At least Mary's annoying laughter comes across as genuine. So what's a newswatching horndog in Jax to do?? Joy Purdy is back. She's o.k. but thumps the bible a little hard. So...Michelle Jacobs??? Kristin Smith??? Alas; we look to Houston and dream....

[News Watcher]

You guys are obviously not getting up on Sunday morning to watch Ashley Coleman on WTLV-12. Hopefully, she will get a prime time weekend anchor spot soon so that she can showcase her talents. Other than Leslie Coursey, she is the most beautiful anchor that Jax has going right now. For some reason, Casey Black doesn't seem as fetching lately...must have been the hair style change...

[BullGator96]

Fetching what? The Sunday paper?? Sorry, unibrows don't do it for me. Ashley Coleman is closer to the mark but...No doubt about it; Jax's airwaves are currently in a fineness drought.

Looks like someone needs to get their facts straight... My contract was up, I chose not to renew it, and I'm now happily out of Jacksonville in a more prominent role as Chief Meteorologist.

Alissa

[BullGator96]

O.K. the fetching comment was a little harsh...sorry; couldn't resist. I'm sure Ms. Black is a fine journalist and upstanding citizen; just not my cup of tea. Ashley Townsend on the other hand...
Thought I'd be more careful about idly commenting on broadcasting beauties ...Yikes...someone pissed off Alissa..."happily out of Freakville " huh?? I always thought you were kind of cute. First Bev; now Alissa reads this forum. Wow. If any of the lovely ladies in T.V. land were offended by thoughtless comments; I offer sincere apologies. If any would like to raise my opinions of them...there are ways....Charlene, are you listening???

Wow....as I public figure myself, I thought you would have developed a thicker skin than this by now. Have fun forecasting how much precipitation falls on the Alamo; I'm sure your new viewers are waiting with baited breath. And as a favor to them, please lighten up on the Tammy Faye-ish makeup...

Beverly, you were clearly the class of that station....

[Newsmaker]

I ran into Celine the other day and found her both intelligent and attractive, she'll get my vote for the best here in Jax
