When will Larry start?

So far, WLOSers have yet to announce on air their new anchor, Larry Blunt from Denver. He was reportedly supposed to start in “early September.” I assume that means after Labor Day. When will we see him?

Well, Candice?

Rumors are flying at WLOS that newlywed Candice Little is pregnant. Candice hitched Scott “Scottie2Hottie” a few months ago. Anybody noticed a bump? Whether boy or girl, I say she should name the kid “Hartwell.” What do you think?

From Bulldog

If screwing up the name of the U.S. Open champion is not enough, Jenny Dunn, the all-America synchronized swimmer anchoring the Sunday sports report on WLOS, does no better on local sports figures. Reporting on the latest Cameron Maybin non-development, she quoted “Roberson Coach Tom Clark.” OK, so his actual name is Tom Smith. Close enough.

Can anybody in Asheville forecast the weather?
Saturday Citizen-Times:  Front-page story warns “4 to 6 inches of rain expected” from Hurricane Katrina.
Saturday Citizen-Times:  Accu-weather forecast page forecasts scattered thundershowers, but no mention of “4 to 6 inches” of rain.
Sunday Citizen-Times:  Uh, never mind the 4 to 6 forecast.
Sunday WLOS 6 pm forecast:  Julie Wonderful says to expect “4 to 6 inches” of rain.
Sunday Weather Channel:  Local forecast calls for “up to 1 inch” of rain.
 
What’s the deal, folks? Anybody got a clue?
