In a shocking move, WFMZ-TV announced today it was replacing long time anchor Rob Vaughn, and his sidekick, Wendy Davis, with former CBS -3 anchors Larry Mendte and Alycia Layne. According to a Station Spokesperson, who requested anonymity, management felt it was time for the Lehigh Valley to "move into the big leagues."
When asked to elaborate on what kind of chemistry was expected between the two, concerning the controversy surrounding their past, the station spokesperson got a gleam in their eye, smiled and uttered one word: "catfight."
Morning Call reporter Edgar Hardswallow, recently demoted to TV reporter, roamed the streets of Allentown, asking citizens for comment, and found this gem: "I hope she gouges his eyes out on air," answered a 19 year old minority woman, who was breast feeding the youngest of her three children on her front step at the time.
When asked for comment, Mayor Pawlowski, was optimistic that the two would get along, and bring a breath of fresh air to Allentown and the surrounding burbs. "C'mon, it had to be hard reporting all those murders and mayhem every night in Philly. What, they had 400 murders last year, we didn't make 20. They will like it here, and get others to appreciate Allentown better, you'll see. Once they have lunch at the Brew Works, they'll never want to leave."
In related news, there are rumors Weatherman Ed Hanna is also to be replaced. No names yet, but what I wouldn't give to get Kathy Orr!

This one is funny, but I wouldn't be surprised if those two weasels got jobs around here. I think a lot of people in the valley automatically revere "professionals" from Philly and NY because we are located in the shadows of those two metro areas and constantly (unfairly) compare them with our area. What, No Subway in Allentown?*&#@*!& I want to ride underground from here to the mall! Waaah!
I don't think much of big city news people. They seem so damn fake to me. I happen to like trolley cars. When I visit Frisco, I enjoy seeing the city that way. I'm told Allentown used to be full of Trolley Cars, but they tore up all the tracks to pave the streets. that's a shame, I bet taking the Trolley from Allentown to Easton was a great ride.
Anybody would be better than Ed Hanna. But Kathy Crane scares me
