Hawaii TV News Anchors and Reporters - Book 3

Re: Hawaii TV News Anchors and Reporters - Book 3

And Jeff Booth will be doing weather in the mornings.

Ooh. Jeff Booth got demoted to morning news weather reporter.

Not that I would trade him for Malika Dudley. Then again, waking up to see Malika in the morning 5 days a week wouldn't be that bad.

Regarding Grace Lee, I could swear she did a stint on Guam at KUAM doing news and a lifestyle show in the late 90s. I heard her voice from the back room a couple of weeks ago and came out to ask the dearly beloved "Is that Grace Lee?". He said it was but she looks different. Either she has had a lot of plastic surgery (still the same height, weight, hair and complexion) or it is someone who sounds exactly like her.

Can't be the same one if it was in the '90s. According to her bio on the KGMB web site, her first on-air job in TV was as a reporter at KGMB in 2002.

Re: Hawaii TV News Anchors and Reporters - Book 3

I seem to recall that when Grace Lee (the one currently here in Honolulu) was on the air previously someone published a national news story about all of the people in the US (including several in high-profile - some media - positions) who are named Grace Lee.

But it's not likely that the current Honolulu Grace Lee is the Grace Lee who was on Guam in the 90s.

On the other hand, HT could probably start a whole new thread about people who have been in TV and other media on Guam who subsequently worked in Honolulu.

Here's something on the Web about this:

Maybe you're confusing her with KHNL's Stephanie Lum, who once worked at KUAM in Guam. And previously worked at KGMB and anchored for awhile on KGMB's last morning news broadcasts in the late 90s.

Definitely not. I have met Stephanie several times (not close personal friends or anything like that) and she bears no resemblance to Grace Lee (either one, if they are indeed two different people).

Maybe it's just me... but I don't think of Jeff's new position as a demotion. Perhaps a "reassignment". He's not a bad weather guy.

Word is, Jeff asked to be moved to the mornings. He did the morning show weather on the mainland and enjoys being goofy, which is something he can do on a morning show.

Ramsay will be the roaming reporter, similar to what Manolo does, while Howard will continue to bring different business-type stories to the show. He will be out and about, but not as much as Ramsay.

Re: Hawaii TV News Anchors and Reporters - Book 3

So, what's the deal with the anchoring positions of the morning news on KHNL??? Did Kristine Uyeno become part of the morning news as of today because she was added to the "banner" on the top of KHNL's web site?? And what will happen to Marvin? Back to reporting????

Just curious...

Some shuffling at Channel 2 also:

Doesn't answer the obvious question about who's doing weekends.

Re: Hawaii TV News Anchors and Reporters - Book 3

I've gotta step up here.

The other paper may consider this to be "breaking news" only because it failed to get yesterday's news release into today's print edition. Well, WE did.

BTW, there's not yet an answer to the question of who will replace Jai on weekends.

Re: Hawaii TV News Anchors and Reporters - Book 3

Just something I noticed some of our local newscasters have in common.

Paul Drewes
Stephanie Lum
Kirk Matthews
Linda Coble
Mahealani Richardson
Kristine Uyeno
Ben Gutierrez

They all have previously worked in the Northwest region (Oregon and Washington).

Re: i believe most anchor's are kind

Hi Sensei...With all due respect, I have a request...suggestion...unsolicited advice. Whatever you want to call it! Can you please use a period to end each sentence? Your messages ramble on and on and they're very difficult to read without proper sentences.

Thank you.

Sansei,

Write what you want but I hope you are aware many members of the Honolulu media read these threads and you've already expressed your displeasure for Mr. Tucker, so we understand your feelings on that issue. Just be careful what you write as you never know who could be reading this!!

Re: Hawaii TV News Anchors and Reporters - Book 3

The direction this thread has taken in the past two days reminds me of that anti-cyberbullying commercial targeted toward kids. You know the one that says, "If you wouldn't say hurtful things in person, why say hurtful things online" ?

While the things being said here aren't necessarily "hurtful," I'm trying to picture Sansei going up to Keahi Tucker's face and telling him "Hi, I'm Sansei, and I think everyone else is kind except for you."
