Hawaii TV News Anchors and Reporters - Book 4

Re: Hawaii TV News Anchors and Reporters - Book 4

Marissa added tonight, besides her usual descriptive "really bad", the professional newswoman comment "how awful". Joe better stop taking vacation time to be in a play.

Next on is Hawaii808 (delay). They need to send Marissa over there, where chit-chat is part of the program.

Dang, I didn't get my channel changed soon enough and there was Marissa (KHON 2) on the 5pm newscast with more of her chit-chat approach to the news.

"Hey, do you have any ideas......."

Hey, yes I do have an idea, don't try to be my friendly neighbor when giving news. I mean, it really bugs me ("really" being another favorite word of hers to insert during the news broadcast).

They need to put her on a morning talk show format, where her casual delivery would be a better fit.

Did Joe Moore do an April Fool's Day joke when he had to read this story?

Will Joe Moore do an April Fool's Day joke on tonight's broadcast. April Fool's Day and tsunami aren't something to joke about.

Shawn Ching is dropping TV, going back to full time lawyering (Erika story in today's Star Advertiser). And guess what? His wife's name is Stephanie Lum. No, not co-anchor SL.

There was a correction later on added to the story:

CORRECTION: Shawn Ching's wife is Stephanie Ching. Her maiden name was Uechi. A previous version of this story and the story on page B2 in today's paper said that her maiden name was Stephanie Lum, identical to the name of a Hawaii News Now anchor.

Video description: "With Sports Director Chris Tanaka taking care of his wife and newborn son and Mike Cherry in South Bend with Manti Te'o and the Fighting Irish, who will save the day and take over our weekend sportscasts? Mark Carpenter, that's who!"

Re: Hawaii TV News Anchors and Reporters - Book 4

Who is the new sports guy on HNN? I noticed yesterday while watching the 5pm newscast. I think he was a new face since he was wearing a lei and I had not seen him on HNN before.

Three sports guys are a lot for a local news station. Is either Mike Cherry or Chris Tanaka leaving?

Re: Hawaii TV News Anchors and Reporters - Book 4

Reason I said former is he's no longer retrieveable through the online UH directory. Googled some more and found that he's listed now as an emeritus professor, which doesn't necessarily mean that he's not still teaching.

Daughter of (former?) UH Hilo prof Walter Dudley.

Google says Yes! Don't know about "former".
