Once Again, Texas Leads the Way

KIAH-TV's plan to air anchorless news has NYC anchors wondering where bond with viewers has gone: "Word that a Houston station is considering anchorless news has folks wondering whether this is the next wave of TV news or just a stunt to draw attention by a station with low ratings.

The answer is somewhere in between, but the mere thought of ditching anchors has TV news staffs wondering if it could happen here."

The first TV news I ever saw was just an off-screen announcer giving the news over raw black-and-white footage of whatever he was talking about. What's that saying about everything old being new again?
