I’ve always been fond of one of our local reporters named [Janelle Stelson](http://www.thewgalchannel.com/wgal8/542991/detail.html), but now she has some competition in [Jaime Garland](http://fox43.trb.com/news/wpmt-news-staff-garland.story). Yes indeedy, watching the news has never been more enjoyable. ---

Sharon Tay left KTLA. I wondered why I hadn’t seen her on there. But the good news is that she’s going to be working for MSNBC. As it happens, I remember way back when, when Keith Olbermann was the sports guy on KTLA. Loved him—he was so funny. ---

Not one mention of Daljit Dhaliwal? Admittedly I haven’t seen much of her lately, but when she was doing ITN News, or whatever it was, I was much more interested in international news than I am now. [Daljit](http://zapatopi.net/daljit.html) ---

Since people are posting local news types too, I’ll throw in a vote for [Heidi Meili](http://keci.com/bios.php) here in Missoula. She used to be a Seattle Seahawks cheerleader, and while she’s something of a dip, she’s pretty damn hot. ---

> [@brickbacon](#): > > She is the person in the commercial. I am sure of this. Nope. I finally found the commercial online, and apparently she’s just an actress. Check it out here - [http://www.cnn.com/yourcommand/](http://www.cnn.com/yourcommand/) (watch “Eraq”) She looks _exactly_ like a girl that used to be all over either CNN or MSNBC a few years ago, though. Of course, based on the erroneous guesses, she appears to be an archetype for “hot librarian anchor.” 😉 ---

I’m packing and moving to France. Also, on the Robin Meade item, when she was a local newscaster in Chicago, she lived in a housing development abutting a golf course. I’d love to tell you the story of the time my foursome caught her nude sunbathing, but that one is all in my imagination. ---
