...newmgmt. I've worked with too many ND's who NEVER watched the morning show. Their focus was the 10 p.m. and that's it. The only reason they knew we HAD a morning show was that those anchors left mid-day. (okay, rant against management is over -- and for the record, our current guy watches the a.m. show regularly)
tvjournalistgal -- any non-professional relationship in the newsroom affects the show, morale and more. I agree with talking to an EP -- sit and watch the show with them. You could use this as a time to not only get feedback on what YOU'RE doing, but also talk about the show, how it's stacked, etc. If you're wanting to make a tape, you could use the session to improve your performance.
I don't know how early you come in in the morning. If you're in early enough, you could ask for read changes. If it's too close to the cast, the producer isn't going to want to change reads. Nothing is going to change until you speak up, one way or another. Right now, they probably just think you don't care. Let them know, kindly but FIRMLY that you do, and it does matter to you. |

asking the EP to watch the cast with you. Don't tell them about the situation, and see if THEY bring it up.
