I like both Lisa G. and Steve Langford, but Langford is the best. Although it seems some of the staff don't particularly like him, Langford's delivery cracks me up every time. Also Langford's reports seem more intriguing ... I prefer his "gotcha" journalism style over Lisa G.'s frequent fluff pieces (about wedding dresses and the like).
I don't miss Flowers. He almost seemed embarassed to have to "lower" himself to work there.
As for Penny Crone I always thought there was more to the story of her being let go other than just staff cut-backs. Working in management I know that sometimes a contributing factor for letting multiple people go is to make it easier to get rid of one particular pain in the ass. I love Penny but let's face it, she was a little nuts. Unfortunately when it came to working with others, she was never one to save the drama for her mama.
And my least favorite reporter is Ralph Howard. I know he has a lot of experience but his style bugs the shit out of me. I hate the was he says, "Howard ONE hundred news". His whole delivery sounds too phony, but not in a funny way as is the case with Langford.
In summary, all this means is I really need to get out more.
