In Reply To: Im not taking sides on whether to like Lyn or not..but here are some reasons 3 is better since lyn took over. 1) better set 2) better graphics 3) better website 4) better anchors 5) better reporters 6) more aggressive/energetic reporters 7) covers more breaking news..is more places than every before. Is on top of things 8) is relevant and watchable. The old channel 3 was a stale, boring has been. She brought it from #3 to #1. Thats how its better. plain and simple. The station is now more watchable than the previous. And more aggressive.
Message: I'm not taking sides either, but I have to wonder where you get some of these observations? The anchors (at least the main ones) have not changed. And WFSB was never #3 -- they were a solid number one before current management. If I recall correctly, the station's best book was Tolan's first one, and they have been flat or down since. Give Ms. Tolan credit for the content -- including a commitment to covering breaking news, the new reporters, and being more watchable. Whether you find every car accident in the state "relevant" is debateable.
