Roz, You are great. You are a really good journalist. I don't know why they would fire you over at WCBS/Ch. 2 especially after YOU went left WABC/Ch. 7. Shame on those bastards.
this video can be considered a prediction of what was to come next. Now Diana Williams is actually the 5 p.m. anchor, upstaged by that damn Liz Cho. I, for one miss Diana at 6 and 11 p.m. Now all we can hope for is that she have to fill in for the child-bearing Cho. Anyone care to comment to the contrary?
Nope, absolutely wrong. Diana Williams <i><b>WAS</b></i> the co-anchor for Eyewitness News at 6 and 11. With Bill Ritter, she decided to lighten her workload to spend more time with her family in 2003. Roz Abrams was a runner-up to replace Williams but Liz Cho was chosen instead. So since then thats how things have been. Williams occasionally fills in for Liz. Those fill-in broadcasts were very reminiscent of the way things were before.
This is Manila's News Leader, News 9 at 6:00 with Dodi Lacuna, Cathy Santillan, Cielo Villaluna and the News Watch Team, Now News Watch!

Where should i Get the Original WABC Open and Close?
angelapleasant2007 3 years ago
I look back at this open and cannot believe that I ever wore my hair like that. Nor that I wore that shirt on-air.
I hate WCBS-TV for screwing me around.
Good Afternoon, everybody. I'm Roz Abrams.
