User "media veteran" started this speculative thread at our old message board:
Who would be on it? The answers are as varied as there are posters, probably ... it's a dream team, so it doesn't have to include people currently on the news.
The way-too-many anchors would include Bob Sevey, Kirk Matthews, Linda Coble, Leslie Wilcox, Tim Tindall, Bob Jones, Shawn Ching, Kim Gennaula, Jim AND Kanoa Leahey (one at 6, one at 10) Sharie Shima (wx). Reporters: Matt Levi, Tina Shelton, Keoki Kerr, Chris Parsons, Darryl Huff, Ray Lovell, Diane Ako ... wow, not too many current reporters I'd hire, were I in charge.
In sports, Jai Cunningham, John Veneri and with more mentoring, Wailele (sp?) Salas could be really good.
Some reporters I considered are not listed here because they do puffy, uncritical and imbalanced reporting -- or over-critical, imbalanced reporting, they're too prominently featured in their stories, (which are supposed to focus on the news, not how well they can walk and chew gum at the same time), they don't speak well, I can't stand their voices/cadence, etc. Others are left off because being on TV is clearly more important to them than is journalism.
Some anchors were left off merely because I prefer those I listed.
My team would not include Joe Moore, so because Hawaii viewers are so rut-stuck watching him, I guess my team wouldn't get the ratings it would probably deserve. MAN, Joe speaks slowly and for an Aiea grad, he can't read most Hawaiian words to save his life! The use of the word "succeed" instead of "secede" was an embarrassment.
