Is there something in the water at ABC's "World News Now" that makes
its male anchors quit left, right, and center, quitting almost as soon
as they arrive?
I know that news anchors quit jobs and quit networs to pursue other
jobs. Still, it seems odd for this one network's news show to have
its male anchors quitting within a year, six months, or five months
after joining, particularly in the last three years.
Aside from Anderson Cooper (back when he was on in the late 90's), the
one male anchor who had stayed the longest on "World News Now" was Ron
Corning.
David Muir stayed for one year only, from summer of 2003 to summer of
2004.
Then Ron Corning was on from summer of 2004 to August of 2006.
Afterwards, Hari Sreenivasan joined in August of 2006 and quit in
February 2007.
Next, Ryan Owens joined in February 2007 and exited in July 2007.
Now, Miguel Marquez has joined this month.
Is Owens one of a string of people who has quit shortly after
joining? It doesn't matter if it is; I'm only curious.
Or, are there a lot of heads rolling behind the scenes, with ABC
executives not happy with some of the recent male anchors? (Was he
fired, perhaps. He certainly did not last long. He stayed only five
months, which is very short for even TV news standards.)
