Title: New Hires at Fox 23
Post by: buck on July 07, 2008, 02:00:36 PM
I know there was a thread about people being laid off at Fox 23, but I noticed they have a few new reporters and a new weekend weather guy
The female reporter is Kaci Christian, she has a professional website with pics and resume at:
http://www.kacichristian.com/
She also has a Yahoo webgroup from whe she was an internet radio host a few years back it has some pics of her that are "interesting" it's at"
http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/kaci/
I believe you have to join to see her pics

Wow, you can read her full resume or just the "synopsis"

The name makes me suspicious...not the Christian last name...I am ok with that...it is the first name Kaci.

Kansas City?  O...K City?

This message was on her Yahoo groups website:
"Please excuse my delay in writing.
I know it's been quite some time.

In the interim, I've transitioned...
this time I've landed in Tulsa, Oklahoma,
in the heart of the lush and verdant
"Green Country" of southeast Oklahoma.
I've been here five weeks now.

There are more details, but "in a nutshell" --

I am part of the news team at KOKI-TV FOX 23
in Tulsa. I'm an investigative reporter in the
station's Solving Problems Unit & will be
filling in on the anchor desk as needed.

The people here seem very friendly and it's
already been quite a learning opportunity,
as I've had the chance to cover a wide range
of stories and meet some very interesting
people.

I've rented a charming little cottage built
in the 1920s and the husband-and-wife landlords
are my next door neighbors!

Hope this finds you doing well. Please let
me know how you're doing and bring me up to
date when you get a chance.

Love,
Kaci"

Has she figured out where she is yet?

Post by: buck on July 08, 2008, 02:02:27 PM
You think she'd have looked at a map before she took the job.
Pee-Wee's Playhouse that's a good one didn't think of that.
I actually think she looks kinda hot on the purple circle thing, but the one with with the Jerry Lewis impersonator is kinda creepy.

So who among the on-air talent kept their jobs, and who got sacked?

OK...first...DAMN...close ups are NOT her friend.  Second...she was the before the layoffs...she - like most reporters probably aren't paid well.  Anchors are where the money is...not reporters.  
Third, most of the layoffs were behind the scenes long-timers.  As well as...just not filling open positions.  
They have lost some decent talent recently though.  Jace, Justin, Marcus, Noelle, Jon.  Hell they save a bundle if they canned the morning show.  Paul is ok...it's the other 2.  Ron was much more believable at sports, and Ann..well can we say "what ever happened to baby jane".  I think she sorta resembles a Chera verion of a fem-bot.  
No new director, no asst new director, rookie reports, crap morning show...I swear...Chera Kimiko carries that place.  Not so different then Phil & Brent carrying KMOD whoa all these long years.

On a side note...did anyone watch the hot dog eating contest on their morning show, I SWEAR i saw one of their crew give the TOWER cam a middle finger salute.
Know her name too...she is so BUSTED.  MWAHHHHH

I've not watched Fox 23 news lately; last time I really sat down and watched it was when Slater was still Chief Meteorologist, and Chera and that Clay Loney guy were anchoring. Chera seems to be competent, Clay seems just as experienced. Seems to me the rest of the class are just coasting until something else comes along. Wasn't there a reporter named Anne Bassett on there?

Doesn't Clay look like a bobble head?  Rumor has it..he dumped his wife and kids for one of the 'young hottie' reporters.  Nice guy!

Yes she does, in an Entertainment Tonight/TMZ kinda way. Anne Bassett too for that matter.

Is it just me or does the weekend temp meteorologist look a lot like a very young Gary Shore?

Yeah, basing your opinion of someone on a rumor... even better.

Anybody remember Bruce Dunbar (//%22http://www.myfoxphoenix.com/myfox/pages/InsideFox/Detail?contentId=561357&version=10&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=5.3.1%22) from when he worked at channel 2 in the mid 80's with Beth Rengal?
