Are You That Short on Talent?
You would think that in a market like Philly at an O&O, there would be more than enough people on staff to cover anchoring the newscasts.
But, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Morning Anchor Matt O'Donnell was in his normal spot anchoring the 4 AM to 6 AM morning news.
But, it appears that he also was called on to anchor the the 4 PM newscast, which makes for a long day. But, it didn’t stop there. O'Donnell also did the 5PM and 6 PM newscasts and even was on the 11 PM news.
Why is the ABC O&O having their morning Anchor work an 18+ day?
