new myz anchor for the show starting 9-17. He'll be paid in c-rations and gino's pizza coupons. this is a minor hiring for a show that will no doubt be a train wreck to start.

that is the way that WOWK was doing it and i don't believe has changed. the weather man taped weather forcast for all the stations on the link every morning and all the local updates. they had to creat a seperate switcher and studio for this along with it's own director.with no increase in pay to either one of the weather people
