I was complimenting the quality of the anchoring. After all, that's one of the most important and sought-after features in a newscast. It's well-documented on this board in dozens of posts.

I was having lunch with someone at the time of the broadcast, but I can probably tell you exactly what was on the show at that time. In fact, I can tell you what was on every newscast on every station for the past few years.

The show covered who-shot-who on the south side of town, the latest house-fire, complete with helicopter footage, a drowning in a nearby lake, a child molestation, a robbery of a convenience store complete with grainy surveillance footage, the latest government scandal, the latest quote on high gas prices, a semi-worthless bullet-list of health tips that all of us should know by now, and a 7 day weather forecast. Then it's a big smile, a teaser for the next show, and out...

How am I doing? ;-)
