Do you have a favorite news anchor? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 100/100. JenInTN (3561)   ranked 2 out of 19,123 in questions & answers9 months ago

I was wondering this because I do have a channel that I like to watch the news on but I have never really paid attention to the crew as far as names and such. Well..my b/f come through while I'm watching it and asks "So what's Bill saying?" I'm like..Who's Bill? LOL Then I realize he's talking about the news caster. I got a flash back from childhood and it was my grandfather asking my grandmother about what Margie Ison was saying about the weather. LOL..I remembered her name. So do you have a favorite and do you call them by name?

There was a time that in our place, there are only two channels that gives good news. And so when I was used to one channel, I came to like the news anchor such that when someone else is anchoring, I don't feel good. It may be a connection as we say it but I think that most have such experience or feeling. But now that I don't usually watch the news on television, I do have a favorite anchor on the radio not only the news anchor but fm radio anchor!lol

Hi learn2earn! I know what you mean. My b/f really doesn't like this one lady that anchors sometimes so when it's her day..he fusses about it..LOL..I do have a favorite radio station morning show I like to listen to on the way to work and I know their names. Thanks for responding.

Hey Jen! When I was reading your discussion I got a flashback
too! But unfortuanately it was to alot of dead news anchors!
Maybe because I am that freakin old and I have seen alot of
them come and go and die! It breaks my heart to know that
anchors like Peter Jennings died and others that I watched
for many years are retired or died too! I did get used to
seeing certain famiiar faces that are no longer there! How
sad is that?


myLot reputation of 100/100. JenInTN (3561)   ranked 2 out of 19,123 in questions & answers  9 months ago

I know! I couldn't believe I remembered the name of a weather lady from the age of 6 or 7. Faces are mostly all I remember too. I was never big on the names. Peter Jennings was a shame though. Thanks for responding.

LOL! I did remember only one news anchor and that is Barkha Dutt. I can't find her these days because the cable people has cut the transmission for the news chanel in which she used to come and share the news.

Her attitude is what makes me a huge fan of her!


myLot reputation of 100/100. JenInTN (3561)   ranked 2 out of 19,123 in questions & answers  9 months ago

To bad you can't find her now..lol..attitudes can be a biggy for news anchors. Thanks for the response.

Do you remember the terrorist attack on Mumbai? It lasted for 60 hours and I was watching only NDTV 24X7 as she was only available there. Since then that chanel is out of my TV now.

I liked her voice but she isn't that beautiful as other news anchors are these days!


myLot reputation of 89/100. sanuanu (3901)   ranked 1,942 out of 19,123 in questions & answers  8 months ago

Thank jeny, this one is a special one for me!

I don't really watch the news often enough to have a favorite news anchor. I rarely watch a whole newscast. I normally only tune in for the weather and if there is a special story on before or after it that catches my attention.


myLot reputation of 100/100. JenInTN (3561)   ranked 2 out of 19,123 in questions & answers  9 months ago

I really don't know them by name either lilybug. I do watch the news though. The weather is my main thing too. Thanks for the response.

Haha!~lolHstory repeating itself eh? I don't think I have a favourite one but as we come from a multi-racial country, we have news in 4 major languages - English, Malay, Chinese & Tamil!~winkthumbup


myLot reputation of 100/100. JenInTN (3561)   ranked 2 out of 19,123 in questions & answers  9 months ago

Wow! We have the news in English and Spanish here. Do you speak all those languages?


myLot reputation of 95/100. zweeb82 (1446)   ranked 2,601 out of 19,123 in questions & answers  9 months ago

I can read & write & speak in Malay, English & Chinese. I can speak & understand very minimum when it comes to Tamil though, haha!~lolSpanish, that's cool!~w00tI personally love languages, I wonder why I'm not a linguist, haha!~lol


myLot reputation of 100/100. JenInTN (3561)   ranked 2 out of 19,123 in questions & answers  8 months ago

That's amazing! You are very intelligent.


myLot reputation of 95/100. zweeb82 (1446)   ranked 2,601 out of 19,123 in questions & answers  8 months ago

Thanks for the compliment!~w00t But I guess it's because of the culture here & everyone has to learn Malay & English in school which is compulsory. As for those who are not Malay, they get to learn their own language which is either Chinese or Tamil. To master a language, that's a different thing, haha!~lolBut due to my diverse background - we grew up in a place where it was heavily populated with Tamil people & we had a sundry shop there so that's where I picked up that language. My grandma was definitely a pro. Chinese I learnt in school plus dad was also from a Chinese school & he introduced me to the history & literature which was really interesting & captivating especially the history of China. Well, that's our roots anyway. As for mum's side, most of them converse well in English plus aunty has an English husband so I've got cousins there, another uncle has a Swiss wife - so it's English but quite fun to pick up a bit Swiss & German as another aunty has a German husband. It's intriguing though that The Swiss can understand the German's German language but the Germans can't really understand the Swiss German as I think it's because it's High German language which happens to be a dialect? Confusing eh?confused Haha!~

Hi Jen. No, I can't say that I have a favorite news caster. I try to avoid watching the news as it's so d@mn depressing. blush My mom on the other hand had a favorite, or at least I think he was her favorite, when I was a teenager. His name was Stan Atkinson. She thought he was so handsome. As my parents were already divorced at this point I was tempted to write to him for her LOL, but I just never got around to it. Oh well, he got married a short time later, so it wouldn't have worked out anyway. rolleyes LOL


myLot reputation of 98/100. sacmom (5804)   ranked 189 out of 19,123 in questions & answers  9 months ago

News is depressing. I have times when I don't want to watch it either. Looks like he would've been quite the catch. Thanks for the response.

Me,too.But When any of my friends or my parents talks of some caster requently,I can recognize the caster.Generally,it's related to that person's fame or the taste of people surrounding me.I will not pay a perticular attention to the crew.What I am interested in is the things showing on the channel.In other words,maybe they are not so attactive to me~~And this will happen not only to the crew but also to the stars.I may know his or her face,but most time,I don't know the name.


myLot reputation of 100/100. JenInTN (3561)   ranked 2 out of 19,123 in questions & answers  9 months ago

I usually don't know them by name either. I have never really paid attention. Thanks for responding.
