(Thanks)
WSVN.
Glad to see her down here. She is a great Reporter. I was interviewed by her when i lived in Seattle. She’ll be a great addition to all ready a great news cast
I guess WSVN will send her to a training class to leaen how to exaggerate and hype up the news. Turn “J-Walking” cases into captiol murder offences.
She’ll likey come in and come on strong. Excellent reporter… And of course WSVN wins b/c she’s a local girl. Broward county native? That always helps.
she seems almost a bit over-qualified to work in Miami. the stations down here were all hiring really young people from small/mid markets…this one is coming from seattle and has worked in atlanta and she’s been reporting for quite a while…she’s a veteran.
i’m glad that she’s coming to SVN. can’t wait to see her on the air here.
anyone notice…her last name is Linsalata (italian for “the salad”). so, when anchors “toss” to Linsalata, they’ll be tossing to the salad (just a juvenile thought, but sounds a lot like tossing the salad…teehee…)
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one with juvie thoughts when I read her name 🙂
In my native language, Bulgarian, “salata” too means salad so I did have a gigle in my mind when I saw her name, but nothing as far out as your dirty mind “Anonymous”. You’ve been watching toooo much Oprah me thinks 🙂
She is quite experienced indeed, I doubt they just hired her to report on car wrecks and fires. But it is local news afterall so who knows.
I wonder if she’s replacing someone….
Well isn’t Nichelle King leaving for Boston? Maybe she is replacing her
anyone notice lynn gordon’s absence for over a month??? she’s still on the website, but hasn’t been on tv for a loong time.
i was thinking the exact same thing about lynn the other day.
Lynn Gordon from what I have been told and read, is the WSVN Broward County bureau chief, or lead reporter. At any rate she runs things up here. Not sure if it’s true. So if she’s still on the site she’s either taking a much deserved break or working more behind the scenes.
I would assume Lynn Gordon is taking a much deserved vacation break. She just celebrated her 10th year anniversary at WSVN. I’ve seen her once in person as few years back here in north Broward when she was reporting a story about my high school. I missed her anchoring Today in Florida Saturday Edition. I think she is a true professional.
Back to the topic at hand – this new reporter has expierence, skills, etc…but she’s HOT! Why isn’t anyone talking about that? Another requirement to working at channel 7
lynn has some issues she’s dealing with..
she reminds me of that congress woman that always gets on tv….which is not attactive to me….I’ll have to see better picks before I classify her as hot 🙂
a-looker: spoken like a true insider. I almost thought you are the one hiring at 7 speaking with such certainty.
Pretty people get hired in South Florida, and beyond. Even overseas at stations that have more hard news than 2 local stations combined here. I’ve seen it
She looks like a nice news person. I dont think she will be replacing Nichelle, LeAnne Sorrel is already doing that. But i hope she will bring something new to 7. It would be really nice if she was replacing Belkys. I saw Lynn on last week so she is still around. Last week I saw Tom Haynes and Christine Cruz anchoring the 11pm newscast. I was like, wow. Christine has talent people.
Back to the new chick, she looks so WFORish. She also remind me of Beatrice Canals. Not with her looks but her presence and I think that is the void that WSVN is just trying to fill.
she knows what she’s doing, but she isn’t HOT in any sort of way. as far as her replacing Beatriz Canals- NO WAY! Beatriz is better… and now that is a HOT woman.
