Last Friday was her final broadcast at Fox 23. She will be moving to CW 19 news at 9 in April when they go to a hour long news format.

An upward move for her, at least in this market. She was in the Las Vegas market some years ago, as well as Phoenix.

How is it upward? Does CW 19 have better Arbitrons?
Seems like a lateral move to me.

You know she won't be limited to the CW. Right?

Why wouldn't they simply sign her to KOTV if it was a move up?

The opposite rotation of a CCW 19. ;D

It was likely a Griffin contract. I don't know of ANY CW 'exclusive' personalities. Doesn't mean there aren't any.
She doesn't start until April anyway. Likely because that's the end of her non-compete clause.
I'm still confused.
How is this a move up for her?

Jeez guys, it's an observation by me. And opinion. I guess those don't matter anymore around here. Wow. Lighten up.
Observation based on the fact that Fox 23 has been in this market about 30 years, and only doing news for about 10. KOTV...since 1949...doing news since...1949.
When did anyone around here give a smile about my opinion anyway.
Here is a two year old ratings story by the Tulsa World...
NBC may be tanking in the network rankings, but it was a very good November sweeps for its Tulsa affiliate, KJRH, channel 2. Although the station lost about 8 percent of its viewership at 10 p.m. weeknights because of a poor lead-in by "The Jay Leno Show," General Manager Mike Vrabac said, its newscasts in all other news time slots showed gains.
November 2009 marked the first major sweeps ratings period since the mandated changeover to digital signals last June and NBC's introduction of a talk show to its prime-time lineup.
KOTV, Tulsa's CBS-affiliated channel 6, continues to be the first choice among viewers in the weekday morning, midday, afternoon and prime news slots. But the story here is the increase in viewership for KJRH and its move ahead of ABC-affiliated KTUL, channel 8, in most local news time slots.
In the ratings race, comparing November 2008 with November 2009, KJRH saw its ratings in the 5-6 a.m. weekday time slot increase from a 2 rating and an 8 share to a 2 rating and a 10 share, or 2/10. In the 6-7 a.m. and 11 a.m. slots, its rating rose.
In morning news, KOTV was again the first choice, the same as in November 2008. KJRH's numbers rose — 3/9 to 5/15 — and KTUL's were unchanged (4/13).
At noon, viewers again chose KOTV, with KJRH second. KTUL, which airs the daytime drama "All My Children," tied for third with KOKI, channel 23, a Fox affiliate, in the time period.
Nielsen TV ratings were drawn from 1,027 diaries kept by viewers in the 22-county designated marketing area. The numbers refer to five-day averages of total households gathered by Nielsen Media Research. In November 2009, one ratings point represented an estimated 9,930 viewers ages 18 and older in the marketing area. The share is the percentage of the population viewing television at a particular time.
Four network affiliates compete with newscasts at 5 p.m., 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. weeknights.
KOTV finished first (8/14), KJRH was second in the time slot (7/12), and KTUL was third (4/8).
The available audience greatly increases at 6 p.m. weeknights. More turned to KOTV, with KJRH second and KTUL third.
The ratings at 9 p.m. weeknights tell the story of broadcast network TV in the last sweeps ratings period.
CBS (channel 6) came out on top again, and ABC (channel 8) second. Local news on Fox (channel 23) beat out NBC (channel 2). Finishing last in the time slot was NBC's "The Jay Leno Show," which earned a 4/5.5 compared with the 6 rating and an 8 share earned by "ER" — deemed low-rated — the previous year.
Media Life magazine reported that viewership of broadcast network programming was down, with the exception of Fox, which won its first-ever November sweeps, increasing 17 percent over last year. ABC was second in the ratings race, off 11 percent. CBS finished third, down 12 percent, and NBC was a distant fourth, dropping 16 percent.
National ratings numbers were drawn from Nielsen data and include live-plus-seven-day DVR viewership. Stations and networks use viewership data to set advertising rates.

It's a move up in Hoss's world because she is no longer working at a Fox station. Duh.

Awww.... we could have a pity party, if you want??
Don't pay any attention to them - I think it is a step up for her....after all, she is getting away from Fox! Good point, guido - so true! She has much more talent than should be wasted at Fox...after all, the only thing their talking heads need is the ability to read "The Script". John Slater (now in OKC) is another one whose is more talented than his presence on Fox would indicate. Even if he is a little excitable during storms...
No idea who this is but it's a good move, gets to be featured on two stations instead of one. Maybe 3 stations if 6.3 starts airing the hour version of CW 19.
That said there is way to little local news on our local affiliates and 23 and 19 could easily ditch the hour news slot and just keep a 10 o'clock half hour and not hurt anyone's feelings.

I think pretty much any newscast is scripted. Could you imagine having to ad-lib through all that?

Her only on air trouble that I have observed is the occasional allergy attack. They cut her mic and you can still hear her suffering off camera. But who in Oklahoma can't relate.

I never really supported the Fox23 news broadcasts. Even after the break-in period they seemed amateurish. They have gotten better in the last three or four years. A long passed friend of mine worked for them as a video editor and shared the same sentiment.

Ya I knew she was married to good old "Hang em" Harris. She waited quite a while before she went back to her maiden name Lewis.

Not stalker-like at all, they are photos published in a national magazine that I had never even seen before today. But I or a moderator can delete the links if it's a big deal.

Just busting your chops...no need to take the post down.
I try to forget my weddings. They are just legal ceremonies where the women can show off the results of their fishing expedition. I suspect most wedding pictures use trick photography to hide the hook marks on the groom.

No worries. I am not as seasoned a poster here as most, so just wasn't sure if I had violated a rule or something. Nothing wrong with some fun chops busting. ;)
