Angela Rae Out at CBS4

no way shes the only reason i watch 33 in the morning

Good bye…She was hard to look at

there IS a God!

the was the most annoying thing on TV since the informercial!

(i meant to say “she” was not “the” was…sorry

Angela Rae was a fabulous anchor. I enjoyed watching her on My 33 News and CBS 4 News. She had a great personality.

That’s too bad. She will be missed.

she was a nice morning personality

I must admit, she was indeed the all in one anchor. When Angela started out as an weekend anchor in this market she was a force to be reckoned with. Angela took her stations weekend ratings out of the single digits to double. Therein lies the reason she was given the main anchor chair. What has happened between then and now, only she can tell you. Her morning chit chat was amusing at first, but now it is just down right annoying-the giggles; where she seems to be the ony one getting her jokes, and the tired entertainment reports that we all seemingly heard or read the night before. It’s a shame, she is a talent gone to waste.

Dime-store Oprah wannabe. Good riddance.

do any of you know angela rae??????
this was the hardest working, woman in the business whose potential was endless!
and now at this point in her life she is working hard for important issues in the community and beyond,hence her departure.
granted …she has had a different style to anyone in this market but we all watched her
didn’t we??? she did get our attention.
cbs new york took her and killed her love for this business ;she never wanted to leave and has not been the same since.
i have been disgusted by the comments on this site for quite a while and this takes the cake,there for the grace of god go all of you in the tv world!
to be ridiculed for moving on or “not” having your contract renewed is just outright mean
and childish and this is what this site has become.she will be missed for always being herself and having the courage to be so!
good luck angela in all you do!

Dear anonymous,
This is an opinion blog. We may not all agree, usually don’t. But, we are able to communicate those thoughts and ideas. If anyone cannot accept that a “talent” or station may be liked by some and hated by others, oh well, it must be a hard life.

I do not watch 4. They are no better nor worse than other CBS O/O stations across the country. They may have had some creative time persiods, but that was a long time ago. Now, it is just bland blah.

I do not know Ms Rae, don;t care to. She might be God’s angel on earth. I doubt it because she would not last 10mins in such a hard-ass profession.

In any event, someone at 4 wanted her gone, so she is. Time to move on, she is.

Dear ib-td,
My point is exacly this…if you don’t watch cw, 4 ,6,7,10 or channel 123 ; why make a comment?
It’s just stupid gossip not educated opinion.The thoughts and ideas “communicated ” are mostly wrong information and one sided.Very few are fair and thought provoking anymore.
Brent’s observation is a good example of a
balanced opinion..that’s all i’m pointing out.Please don’t take it personally.
I just want to get some type of accurate info when i come to this blog on the miami market,not the mean stuff that is usually coming from disgruntled ap’s,desk managers , photogs and production folk ; at best people that really don’t know the correct info in the first place and may have some ax to grind …most people in tv never know the “real” story unless “you’re” the person they are talking about!
I enjoy learning about the people at all the miami stations, for example Juila at 6, don’t know why she’s leaving or they didn’t keep her, but if she is good she will rebound well and we will see her in another market doing well, i’m sure her agent will make sure of that (if she has one.)
Generally I’m entertained, believe me, but lately not so much.

“Anonymous” you are absolutely correct! Some people on this blog continue to slander reporters and anchors.

They’ve made racist comments about a reporter’s name, falsely accused an anchor of having an affair, and incorrectly accused a reporter of being under investigaation by the cops.

Enough is enough!

Anonymous and all others who have a problem with the posts,

If the posts are pissing you off that badly, dont come back. Start you own blog with a requirement that only good things should be said.

How can you idiots get upset because you opinions is different. This is a blog for heaven’s sake. If you want to control people’s thoughts and ideas, you live in Cuba or China.

hey when did we talk about affairs?? that would have been a fun discussion 🙂 i always love me some gossipin

It’s one thing to have an opinion. It’s another to slander.

Slander is a legal term.

Jamboi makes the best point. Regardless of wheter a point is positive or not, if points made here really piss one off, then don;t return. That is why I don;t watch 4 or CW, because they suck.

And btw, annonymous, I have the education to be able to back up the previous comment. It is not just someone bitching about a station or 2.

Also, I did not take any of the previous posts personally. Anyone who takes a post on a website personally, needs to have their head checked. This is a public forum. Therefore, nothing is offensive, unless a person makes it so.

This site should be judged by the content of the stories Mr. admin posts, not the comments its readers make. Mr. annonymus says he dosent like our comments, well then dont click on them. BTW – what is channel 123?

So ib-td you have made the comments of:
“I do not watch 4. They are no better nor worse than other CBS O/O stations across the country. They may have had some creative time persiods, but that was a long time ago. Now, it is just bland blah.”
“that is why I don;t watch 4 or CW, because they suck.”

Ok,you “obviously” watch these stations in order to know or have the
opinion that they suck !!! Gotcha!!!

Whatever, it’s pretty obvious that there are a few regulars that post comments here that have verrrr-rrry one sided opinions…you’re being called out on it and you just don’t like it! I’m making a comment here about your comments and you just don’t like it because my opinion is different to yours…but didn’t someone say that’s what blogging is about?
Point and Counterpoint.
As ib-td said in this very blog-“This is an opinion blog. We may not all agree, usually don’t. But, we are able to communicate those thoughts and ideas.”

Again my original point was simple and honest-have your facts correct about people that you don’t know and if you can- be balanced-why always make a comment that is mean when you don’t even know the whole story?
My original point was about Angela Rae and then about Julia Yarbough-people that have been in the business for awhile-whatever their issues are don’t they deserve some credit for toughing it out all these years????

Anyway, I will continue to read this blog and chime in with my opinion because i enjoy it-Miami is a great city and the characters even more colorful!
**channel 123 was a play on words for any station in the market ..LOL

Final point:
This comparison may be better on point than anonymous’.

Say you, annon., invite some friends to watch (sport does not matter). Some of them really like the team you do, some don’t. While the game is being played, you are telling the non-supportive friends to keep it down, they don’t know what they are talking about, blah, blah. In the meantime, the supportive friends are being encouraged to get wild, rioteous, and loud.

That is what you are saying for this blog. Any negative opinion should be squelched and only bright shiny positive comments about our tv personalities and stations should be amplyfied here. The legal term, slander, is for a judge to decide.

Remember, it’s a blog. It is not an encyclopedia. Even news stations and other sources get it wrong ocassionally. (I am sure we all remember a local station that did recently – GET IT WRONG).

So, anonymous, there are some of us that use this blog, that work for local stations. There are some of us who don’t work for stations. There are some of us that just like to have a place to bitch now and then and release some steam. For whatever the reason, go with it, have some fun.

Just so we can “both” have a final point: LOL
I like having fun like the next guy, but when facts are wrong you better believe I will “always” chime in-just as you seem to not be able to get over that station being wrong with their facts- i will call out if there is something being said that may be incorrect here!
The TV business is grueling and everyone needs to blow off steam- I get it….but heresay is just that-heresay-and can be very hurtful if it’s untrue.
I’m totally and extremely ok with negative opinions as long as they are based on fact-I think this is why journalism exists right?
We all have the right to prefer a TV personality or station over another and make comments about it-that’s why we’re here right?
Anyway it’s been fun going back and forth here-just wanted to make sure the “controversial” angela rae gets props for her work in the community and for whatever reason she’s leaving -she did a helluva job! We may not have liked some or all of what she did but we watched -we were always enertained and surprised by her.we always had a reaction -negative or positive.She made her mark.

The fact that some of your posts are that long shows two things.. one you all have too much time on your hands.. and two you all are a bunch of losers.

Very interesting post about Angela Rae but, some are inaccurate. She wasn’t passed over for Susan Barnett’s job. SHE DIDN’T WANT IT!!! Having worked on the air with her for over a year; I know personally that she was tired of ANCHORING. She wanted to do something that would allow her to inject her personality. Reading a prompter for 4 hours doesn’t allow much personality. The spot she held on the morning show was designed for her specifically. She is a well known personality in South Florida and she did a lot of things for the community. She was the most booked reporter at the station. She’s very talented and EXTREMELY bright she will be fine after FOR. She’s the only person on the air with any sort of personality and let’s admit it. She is good..annoying but GOOD.

I recall a line from an old Bill Cosby standup, when someone told Bill that cocaine “intensifies your personality.” Without missing a beat, Dr. Cosby replied “But what if you’re an a**hole?” Point being, some personality we don’t need so much of, OK?

Well I for one will not be sorry to see her leave. She may be a great talent….but give me a looker who can read a teleprompter anyday! Im sorry but thats how it is for me. Im sure Im not the only one who feels that way and just isnt afraid to say it.

Theres a reason why I watch Elita… period, and Beatrice, and Jen Herrera. Im sorry but its time to hire some new hottt talent. Its not rocket science to read off a screen and laugh at a sportscasters joeks in segway…

Just my opinion…. and Im not a racist, or sexist….(well maybe I am sexist) 🙂 but hey! I like women 🙂 and the fine ones who broadcast the news!

Just by the tag line …. ‘Im not racist’ makes one think twice. Angela is a very attractive woman and one of the best anchors in this market.

No, Angela is mediocre at best. But it is all subjective, because Jen Herrera is horrible and homely, but someone disagrees. Beatriz, yup, I agree, and Elita…look, unless there’s a hurricane, how much variation is there really in the weather down here? Elita’s a knockout who seems really nice, and that sure is welcome.

ccc229…you have the most abnormal observaitons. Angela without a doubt was at the top of her game when she anchored. You might not like her for whatever reason (as if you know her-I don’t, in fact-I think her current behavior is cartoonish) However, she got as far as she did in this market because she was the first at WFOR to marry style and substance…that’s why the majority of the viewing market tuned in. If she was beige so to speak when it came to being an on air talent, why is it that she would be afforded the oppurtunity to develope a segment designed specifically for her?

CCC29 YOU HAVE NO CREDIBILITY AND YOU SEEM VERY IMMATURE.

YOU REGULARLY POST HATEFUL, COMPLETELY INACCURATE, MESSAGES.
I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU DO FOR A LIVING AND WHAT STATION YOU WORK FOR. YOU SEEM LIKE A BITTER PRODUCER OR WRITER WHO HAS NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH HIS TIME THAN TO TRASH TALK TALENT.

UNLIKE CCC29 AND THE REST OF YOU LOSERS, I TOOK THE TIME TO ACTUALLY ASK ANGELA RAE WHY SHE’S MOVING ON. SHE SAYS THERE IS ILLNESS IN HER FAMILY (I WON’T GO INTO SPECIFICS) AND IT WAS A “MUTUAL AGREEMENT.”

AS MOST OF US KNOW, THE NEWS BUSINESS CAN BE VERY DEMANDING.

NEXT TIME, TAKE THE TIME TO CHECK YOUR FACTS RATHER THAN POST INACCURATE INFORMATION.

miamiwatcher, did Angela mention when her last day will be on-air?

CCC229 how can you think Jen is not attractive???? WOW, I must be watching a different broadcast. And Bahamian Fan, as a person of mixed race, black and asian I dont think either groupd qualifies me to be in a position of power to conduct racism on anyone.

For some of us, its not about the “award winning journalism”. I’ll watch 60 minutes, or Dateline, or even Chris Matthews. I watch/webcast the news in Miami to see 1. The Weather, 2. UM news, and 3…. Elita! Period…. Angela is probably a nice woman, and if she has family issues than she goes with my prayers and blessings cause I know how that is to have a sick parent/family member.

But lets keep it real…some of us just watch for the hotties. I miss Jackie, I miss Delaine, I miss Martha, I miss Shireen… and on and on and on…

I love the fact that I can stil watch Martha.

For all you idiots, my opinion has more value than any of you clowns who work in the industry. I was born and raised here, do not work in the holy “business,” therefore I watch purely as a viewer. Anyone who thinks Angela Rae ever delivered a substantial newscast is an idiot. She was paired with another clown, Jennifer Gould. Both were hired for looks, period. I am a plain old viewer so you might want to know how someone who watches without the taint of direct contact perceives how these people come across. If I seem hateful, it’s to compensate for the way these people are promoted like Nobel Peace Prize winners. So if you want to know what the audience is thinking, you may want to pay attention next time I post something. As to the overall quality of news in this town, it’s pitiful. I know that the on-camera people aren’t responsible when one of you off-camera dweebs misspells “dietician” instead of “dietitian.” Or “supercede” instead of “supersede.” Fact is the news business suffers from the same mediocritywe accept in every walk of life. |Pardon me if I expect a communications major to know how to spell, or use proper grammar.
Oh, and Merry Christmas. Some of you are just wonderful, and I would welcome you in my home. That’s what I do when I tune in a news program. Maybe some of you need to think long and hard about that before you end up behind the counter at McDonald’s.

Calm down people!!! I know that alot of u will want to reply to Mr. CCC29’s post, but why bother its not gonna change anything. It might just spark some more hateful words, and this isnt the time of year to be spreading hate. Merry Hanukkah, happy christmas and a very special Kawanza to all!

ccc229….you finally said something that I without any doubt agree with, you are indeed ‘plain old’. Really, how old are you? If you are beyond the age of fourteen, and refer to people as idiots and dweebs..(because they posess the ability to voice an opinion)you might need to ask someone in your circle if they consider you fundamental. I just refuse to believe a mentally lucid adult would address anyone the way you have addressed the persons who are participating in this blog. And as far as most of us ending up behind the counter of a McDonald’s because we don’t listen to people like you, can be likend to cow chips. If you didn’t cloud your mind with such spiteful thoughts, you would realize that most of us in the news business have degrees. Albeit, since you conduct yourself as a juvenille, I would imagine that’s where your education level ceased…however, just a morsel for you to carry from these words-a degree signifies that one has the ability to leave jobs like those at McDonald’s to high schoolers like you. Ya see David, I didn’t respond to ccc229 with hateful words-I just pointed out the truth….now I’m off to prepare a package. ccc229, I’m not referring to a Christmas gift.

Brent, you are a hack. The word is “likened” and proves my point. I don’t watch “packages.” Enjoy your industry pity-party. I am in my forties, BS in mass comm, and work in law enforcement, one of the few who doesn’t blame media for the problems cops like to self-inflict at times. The warning should be to anyone who thinks they are above those outside a certain line of work because “you just don’t know what it’s like…” I can only judge what comes through my screen and if it’s putrid, it’s partly because of you, but mostly the corporate weasels who decided news had to be a profit center. As a result, pretty counts far more than intellect, and what we have is far worse than Chayefsky forecast.

Chayefsky biatch!!!
