You can't spell "Weekend View" without "Vu".

Actually, you can, and they seem to be doing just that today as Bill Keneely and Samantha Mohr host the show on their own today, but what's different this time is that no mention of Dao Vu's name has been made at all, and as far as I know, Julie Martin should be available to host if need be. Have they decided to take Weekend View in a new direction - one without a host who serves no real purpose? I guess time will tell.

Apparently Julie Martin was not available, because she wasn't there, or they just didn't want her to host.

That's interesting they didn't mention anything about Dao.  If Dao leaves, I won't be too upset about it.  The show can last without her.   (I think..maybe there are some people out there who like her..IIRC, it is a pretty high rated show)

IMO, they should have four OCM's on that show, like they used to do with Evening Edition.

The 4-person thing never seems to work. They tried it with EE, EE Weekend, and Weekend:NOW.

EE Weekend gave it up first, then EE gave it up when Jim came on the show, and finally Weekend:NOW became Weekend Planner, and the four-person format was dropped shortly after.

Weekend View technically started with four people, with Steph being out in the field. Now we might even be down to two if Dao left.

So Dao permanently left Weekend View (or TWC for that matter)?

[Spring Rubber]

We don't know. We'll see what happens next weekend if she's not on there tomorrow.

My mind has drawn a blank.  I can't even think of who was on the Weekend editoin of Evening Edition.  Steve, can you refresh my memory?

Well then...READ FIRST.

No you don't get it. I haven;t see Dao Vu on Weeked View for a while either. So I'm coming up with the conclusion that she might have left WV. It's a just a rumour.

I actually forgot about the existence of that format myself until I found a tape of it last year. EE Weekend featured Carl Parker, Sharon Resultan, Dave Schwartz, and Lisa Mozer. Within several months, however, the format was broken up as Carl went to weeknight EE, Rick Griffin and Sharon took EE Weekend, and Dave and Lisa took EEWC. Not long after that, Lisa left TWC and was replaced by Sandra Diaz.

If Dao did leave, then that leaves Bill Keneely the only person that has been on WV since its beginning.

I just did some searching on this, and on the TWC media kit Dao Vu is indeed no longer listed as a part of the Weekend View team.

On another note, it looks like the media kit was redone recently because I found a cool new video showing what appears to be the new graphics for the HD launch later this year.

Here's a link to the video
