It's not Sher or even Ross. It's Ken Vincent that is the real problem. That guy can't finish a sentence. "The time is...uh 9: uh.... 18 and the uh... weather conditions for uh....the Seattle area are... going to be...uh cloudy... Jeeezus.

Scher is the worst. I can't fathom how he's not working in some third-rate market like Bakersfield.

It's funny. I was just thinking about how annoying those little joke she make are this past week. I don't mind her except whenever she introduces Harmon Shay.

Every time I tune in and hear, "I'm Phyllis Fletcher, filling in for Deborah Brandt," I feel a pang of relief. Steve Scher, you're next!

I'm sure she's very nice, but I've always hated her banter with the traffic reporter. There's less than a minute slotted for him, so let the traffic dude talk!

I liked her, and "plaguing our commute since 1998" is just a really weird statement.

I'll miss her -- she reminded me of Schweddy Balls and that would sometimes make me laugh

Maybe not shorter, but certainly less painful.. I too am happy to hear of this news. She makes me wince in the way you wince when watching the british version of the tv show "The Office"... except you aren't laughing.. you're just wincing..painfully.

She also has the worst delivery of just about any newsreader in the area. It's a rare thing indeed if she can get through even the simplest item without mumbling and stumbling over at least a half dozen words or phrases in the course of a story. Considering that she repeats these several times during her shift, you'd think somebody would have mentioned to her that maybe she spend a few minutes off-air reading through things to get the pronunciation and syntax down before trying it out on-the-air.
