News Anchor

[DolfanBob]

I am always amazed at the knowledge that the members here on this forum have when it comes to things I just cannot find out anywhere else.
So here goes. Like they always do, Channel 6 has let go, or she has found another job. Latoya Silmon. As usual there is nothing on their web site(that I can find)
I sent a message to Latoya herself on her Facebook page with no response. So I turn to you my wealth of knowledge members.

Why do I never notice things like this? Is she the one thats also a teacher/left to be a teacher last time she went off the air or is that one of the other ladies on Channel 6? I will admit I don't follow who is presenting the news much.

Thank you for that and sorry for the thread drift

That's interesting, Channel 6 is one of a kind~ My favorite anchor is Ann Stearling on channel 23 in the morns. That Lady is stunning. IMO the best weather person is Julian Chinn she's great doing the weather and has a super personality on top of it all.

Still no info about Latoya. Hmm

Sigh...

If you are going to claim you live here, get the news personalities names right.

It's Julie Chin
It's also Ann Sterling.

But Ann can't hold a candle to Chera Kimiko....sorry.

And having the best personality doesn't make you the best weather person.  The most knowledgeable as much some people hate to admit it are all on Channel 6.  Dick Faurot and Travis Meyer are quite possibly the most experienced tandem in this part of the country.

Julie Chin:

At a Tulsa State Fair rodeo a few years back, she shared MC duties with ... some other local celebrity.  After a flurry of perky, chirpy blather, she hooted, "Yeeeeeeee-haw!!!!" quickly adding, "Pretty good for a New York girl, huh?!"

Consummate disinterest (bordering on antipathy) from the audience prevailed...palpably...

Pretty much sums up Ms. Chin for me.

I've given up trying to pick a meteorologist to trust in.  Most of the time, I'll just get the "forecast discussion" from weather.gov and come to my own conclusions.  Seems to work pretty well.

I like my way better.  I open the door and say "hey look it's raining" and grab an umbrella.

Since we did a subject drift, I will chime in with my opinion of the best Oklahoma Weatherman who passed away in Iowa a few years back.
Gary Shore. When he said duck. I ducked.

My favorite word that he came up with was "snizzle" for snow, freezing rain and drizzle.

IIRC he was one of the few people telling the Corp Of Engineers and other emergency officials that they weren't releasing enough water out of Keystone back in '86, because the Corp realied on a broken flow gauge that showed the water wasn't rising when Gary and the weatehr service knew how much rain had fallen upstream of the broke gauge.
