“They seemed like they really wanted me to make my exit,” said Ward. “I always thought I would continue to anchor the news at Channel 13 until I thought I couldn’t do the job anymore. I’m not there yet. My research is very good, and our ratings are very good. They won’t give me an answer why I’m being taken off the 6 p.m. news.” [Chron.com]
Maybe it was time. Ward has been at KTRK for 50 years!

When CNN started falling falling falling, Alisyn Camerota and John Berman were scapegoated from the morning show. In my opinion, they were the network's best anchors and team by far. Berman is still with CNN but he looks like he was ordered to up the smirks and repressed giggles. Camerota left CNN last December. Maybe she finally got tired of dodging the cow pies.

Right or Left, tv news has become Opinion TV. It is no longer a source of factual information. Right now, crowdsourcing or collaborative journalism works best. Also, with AI or the newer synthetic intelligence, the public can cut through the BS in less time than it takes to watch the local tv weather gal sashay her way across the screen.

Old anchors don’t get put out to pasture. They get dumped to the bottom of the ocean. After all, don’t the broadcasting owners consider their talent ‘bottomfeeders’??
