What happened to WLOSer Leigh Ann Long?

What happened to Leigh Ann Long? This is what Leigh Ann looked like when she first started at WLOS more than a year ago. Great hair. Sexy smart-girl glasses. Excellent presence behind the desk. I used to love listening to her read me the news on the Sunday night shift.

But alas, Leigh Ann was shipped to the super-early morning side. I don’t watch the super-early morning television news, because it’s a replay of the news I saw the night before. But that means I miss Leigh Ann. But even worse, I’ve had friends tell me of late that Leigh Ann has cut her lovely locks, and that she’s not coming out from behind that anchor desk much any more. What gives? Has Leigh Ann put on a few pounds? Did management order a bad hair cut?

What gives?

I think the problem is there isn’t much chemistry between her and Jay and Julie. When they sit together in the morning it’s like *awkwaaaaaard!*

Wow! Someone sounds like a stalker. However, Leigh Ann is still the best looking person on WLOS. Please give Leigh Ann back her glasses, makeup, and most of all, hairspray.

leigh ann is just as smoking hot as ever, and one of the main reasons our early morning numbers are trending upward. if you don’t like getting up early, you might want to stay up all night for your daily dose of leigh ann at 5am…

Maybe the station got to many complaints about her looking to sophisticated for the early morning crowd.

Just saying, I think the viewers were used to Victoria fumbling every morning and the fact that regular soccer moms could relate to her. Throw in the sexy sophisticated Leigh Ann and you lose viewership.

I still like to watch Leigh Ann and Julie every morning. Just saying.
