KSDK

The first thing I noticed while watching news on KSDK at 10:00 am was Art Holliday. He just stood out in his black suit, with a pink undershirt and pink and gray, checkered tie. Art Holliday was a single anchor and worked by himself today. I saw all kinds of reporters that included Christine Dalwin, Lee Ann Ray, and Jay Gray. However, these reporters weren’t local here in Saint Louis. Jay Gray talked about Life-ware and how it now runs just about everything inside the home. For example, if someone rings the doorbell and you’re watching a movie the television actually pauses itself. Also, when you turn your home security alarm off then the lights come on, shades pull up, and music can come on. I don’t exactly know where his live shot was…there was a bunch of computers behind him, so I’m thinking it was done at his station. During his live shot he said that they weren’t as cheap as you would think…that they were actually quite expensive.

One story that I remember was when Christine Dalwin reported about Debra DeFay and how she is currently going back to court to see if she has violated her probation. Earlier she had sexual relations with a student and now she has been talking to a seventeen year old girl about sexual relationships and more. Another story I remember was when Art Holliday talked about Johnny Grant dieing. The found him in a hotel room, which he stayed in often, and believe that he died from natural causes. He was eighty-five years old. One last story that I remember was when Lee Ann Ray reported about autism. Researches have found that chromosome 16 is either missing or duplicated in most people with autism. However, this is only one important piece in the whole puzzle of autism.

We also saw Scott Connell and he gave us a little weather update. He said that we will have a little bit of filtered sunshine, but clouds will be getting thicker and today we might see a little bit of rain and possibly a tad-bit of snow tonight, but this weekend we shouldn’t see much precipitation.

I thought the newscast and anchor were comforting…the stories were interesting and Art seemed like he was speaking conversationally. I believe the reporters definitely have good credibility, because they are working in a market that is even “higher up the charts” than Saint Louis. The stories sound like they were well thought up and researched, which also helped their credibility. Art Holliday also seems like a credible source because he presents himself very well by dressing nicely and speaking confidently in what he says. You would catch me watching this channel again, because Channel 5 is the “number one station” in Saint Louis.
