It’s no secret at WTVJ that DeMarco Morgan is well liked by the NBC6 News Director. So it’s not a surprise that we have received multiple tips this week that he will be anchoring this seasons hurricane coverage along with Jackie. An alleged memo was sent out to the folks at NBC6 In a alleged managers meeting last week, it was allegedly said that “if Hanna hits, he will be anchoring along with Jackie” and that “he brings years of experience to the desk which will prove valuable in local news coverage.” Really? The ratings are dropping on every show he is anchoring, and this is a smart idea…how? The ND loves to show him off, even though he’s just not ready. He is new to this game, don’t push it WTVJ.
By the way, on a completely separate note, this post is the 1,600th post on SFLTV. Congrats, and thanks to everyone who are loyal fans of the site. Thanks for making SFLTV what it is today.
I still don’t think Demarco is the problem at 6, though he is still new and needs some seasoning. Nespral is the repellent force at 6. She is a vacuum tube, nothing upstairs, vacant. Waste. DeMarco and furniture would be a better anchor team.
oh, this is a much better choice than using kelly and tony, two anchors who have already proven their skills during hurricane andrew, as they helped this community get through that terrible night and the weeks that followed. kelly and tony are very fast on their feet, able to improvise and handle changes and go without a script better than anyone. much better idea to give it to two of the worst ad-libbers at wtvj, and with such stellar numbers at 7 and 11. well done.
Anon,
i try to maintain an unbiased opinion,but i couldn’t agree with you more.unbiased?!?
Ha. On some things, yes.
not sure what they are thinking over there… it is a shame to see such a once-great station go down the tubes. demarco and jackie are clearly in the wrong roles at the station – hope they find a good spot for Julia Yarbough now that they’re not doing the CW news anymore. She’s certainly more talented than most over there.
I’m not sure, but isn’t Julia on at 6 with Tony?
Yes, she is still anchoring with Tony. Juila deserves to be promoted to main anchor to take Jackie’s seat. Demote Jackie to where Juila is, and promote Joel with Julia. Also, I think Demarco should take tony’s seat when he retires, or move demarco on the weekend evenings solo or him and amara sohn together. I think they work good together. PLEASE SOMEONE ASK ME THIS: WHY IS EVERY ONE HATING ON JACKIE NESPRAL? In my opinion, I think she is a fake that just likes to look pretty on camera. She is nice in person, but you can tell if someone is real or not real infront of the camera.
Oh, and Julia returns next Monday Sept. 8th! And she is fine in person!
I love how when NBC6 does a bump shot of the news room there is nothing but empty seats.
Well, it is labor day.. so a lot of people are off today..
Julia will continue to do the six with Tony. Demarco has been moved into the main anchor slot with Jackie because, one he was hired for very little money…he came from Milwaukee and, as our news director has said, we need a black co anchor on every newscast if psosible. It reflects the diversity of South Florida.
Oh yea.. Jackie just resigned her contract for several years.. maybe 5 or 6
Let’s hope Nespral’s contract goes with NBC. Maybe they need a correspondent in Vegas.

There was no such manager’s meeting and no such memo regarding Demarco and hurricane coverage.
And while there is nothing wrong with the idea, the News Director has never said that the station needed a black coanchor on every newscast.
Julia and Joel would definitely be a great combo….Jackie and Demarco both look like they are trying. Again, there is absolutely nothing there that would have me tune in every night to see them. Great example, remember what Angela Rae did for WFOR? NBC currently has no (IT) factor.
I’ll agree with you there, booker. I would definitely watch Joel and Julia.
