Uh oh, I wonder what this could mean?

If ratings are good with Alexandra, and bad with the replacement, I'm pretty sure Alexandra will stay.  But, if ratings are rapidly better with her fill-in, then she may get replaced....who knows

Same here.  There's that "Evening Edition Curse" out there.  Kim Perez left for maternity leave (Weather Center PM changed to Evening Edition while she was gone), Jennifer Lopez was her fill-in, and permanantly got the spot.  Then, after Jennifer went on maternity leave (I believe the second time), Alexandra Steele was the fill in, then got the position.

I agree with Mike.  EE has not been as good since Jennifer Lopez left the show, and Alexandra started.
But, nothing we can do about it

Definitely.

I'm just curious as to who they are going to put in the actual seat.  I think David Gregory or Andrea Mitchell should get the spot.  I read a few "speculations" of his son taking over.  But, I doubt that'll happen./...

Jae, I agree with the whole TV screen thing.  I'd prefer the key wall over that

39 years old?  She's older than my mother    I would have never guessed she was that old.  I would have said early to mid 30's.  Dang.  Well congrats to her.  She seems like she is having the time of her life right now.

Anyone else notice that Weekend Outlook and Weekend View have the same theme? Here's the WO opener: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeWq8velP4c and the Weekend View teaser: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo_ppOV56go&feature=related

Interesting.  They do

I wonder why that is?

He is just making an assumption that TWC is going bye-bye once the sale is over with

Give it a chance, will ya.  The sale hasn't even been approved yet, and you have NO CLUE what is going to happen.

I think its ruined TWC's image as a whole. They made a huge mistake by not remaining neutral. Instead, they took a stance and told their viewers what that stance was. A news service should be unbiased and objective.

Good point.

Exactly
