Topic Name: wusa -tv anchor shuffle Message Name: No chemestry Date Posted: 05/25/2005 Message: The station has a look of solo musicians not an orchastra. Some anchors use that faux newswriting style "this just in" reporter X "working the phones right now" "hey guys this will scare the bejesus out of you". While others use a standard less hyped delivery. On air look is forced and not real. Blame producers? Perhaps. But in a newsroom with no leader individuals tend to do what they want. I suspect the station has a weak desk which results in fewer stories and almost no real exclusives. I see too many school and healthcare features. The stories simply have no edge. Bogus hyped writing does not improve a sows' ear.
