Thanks for the clarification fly.
Kristi is not a reason to stay tuned to Global. The quality of The News Hour has done nothing but go downhill in recent months. In addition to all the technical glitches and general sloppiness, Wayne's leaving
is the last straw for me. Satellite Debris, Mike McCardle, weekend airborne traffic reports that are nothing more than a glorified events calendar are so yesterday. I've moved onto CBC's Evening News with
Tony Parsons and Gloria Macarenko. In the weather department, Johanna Wagstaffe and fill in Amy Bell are miles ahead of what Global now has to offer.
Let's not forget, Global's first choice for Wayne's replacement was Mark Madryga who turned down the offer. He'd rather do his morning shift (and CKNW weather and commercial endorsemenmts) than be at
the station until midnight (away from his family) doing continuous weather updates for the soon the be launched Global News BC 1 plus the regular Global casts.
All the best to Wayne and his freelance biz. Nice to see someone in the biz do things on their terms.
