Word is Channel 9-KTSM is planning to make a big announcement this afternoon regarding a foray into entertainment news.
Rumor has it that KTSM anchor Oralia Ortega will host an entertainment-type show from 6:30 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. The show would replace syndicated episodes of "The George Lopez Show", a move that could save the station a lot of money since they would no longer have to pay syndication fees to air those episodes.
If the move is true, that leaves us wondering about who will fill in the weekday evening anchor slot. Who would you like to see become KTSM's new anchor?
I want Adrienne Alvarez to be the anchor for all local TV stations. That babe-a-liscious babe could read from the phone book and I would still sit in front of the TV and be entranced.

Get Felipa Solis...she'd be perfect!!!

I think Phillip Mena should host the entertainment show and keep Oralia as anchor.

Adrienne is definitely a sweetheart and doing a great job at KDBC. How about Alexa Helms? She is simply beautiful, classy, and talented.

why would they have to replace oralia? the show times don't conflict...
Posted by: duh | April 18, 2011 at 08:38 PM
I agree. Why replace Oralia?
Posted by: Brenda | April 18, 2011 at 09:09 PM
Alexa is hot. She'll have a higher male viewership.
Posted by: Dave Ross | April 18, 2011 at 09:13 PM
Agree. I want Alexa too.

Oohh! Adrienne and Alexa together on one broadcast. It's a dream come true. If only KDBC could lure Hema Muller. Hubba-hubba.

Okay, Willard Shmekel, your starting to seriously creep me out. Eeewwww...you pervert...

I think Philip mena should do it! Love him!

My vote goes to Eric Reinholt. Let him do the weather, news and why not sports, too, while he's at it. Eric is very easy on the eyes and I love the sound of his smooth, mellifluous voice.

I vote for KVIA's sexy hunk of man meat Raul Martinez. The more of him we see on air the better!

Well, you asked a question and you got some answers. Whether they're worth anything beyond hits is debatable, but there you are.

They have been using Stephania Jimenez sometimes and she does a good job. Adrienne looks the part too. Whoever they pick will have to keep up with the new KTSM anchor Dan O'Rourke, he is really very good.

gayboy, we miss you.

Alexa looks like an alien. Stick thin, no body, and spread out bug eyes. She's far from hot.
Posted by: Hahaha | April 22, 2011 at 05:25 PM
They should give Robert Bettes the job! He is AWESOME!

It is not going to Last On the Air
Posted by: Pam Miller | April 23, 2011 at 01:42 AM
Might last. Plenty of Sat feed for the schlock entertainment news and gossip. The show would need local content, that might be tough and expensive but if the show can sell time it should work.

To paraphrase one of the segments, DUMBASS SHOW OF ALL TIME.
I can understand Oralia not wanting to coanchor with Grandpa Dan (another great choice by KTSM), but to host this junk made me lose all respect for her.
Now I won't even watch her on the news. Will have to skip 5:00 news and watch 5:30 KDBC broadcast in PIP while watching NBC Nightly News.

Actually, Dan O'Rourke is about to tear Ch 7 to shreds,and you don't see it coming, joker
Posted by: Pablo | April 26, 2011 at 09:13 PM
Auctually according to the last ratings book, Pablo, Mr. O'Rourke will have to 'tear' through Channel 4, and then KFOX and KINT to get to 7.

This El Paso Tonight Live show is BAD. What's worse is that it could be a good thing, there are lots of local things to talk about, but if I want 12 hour old celebrity gossip, I log on to TMZ, or I watch ET on Channel 7 which airs at the same time. Is Oralia in charge of the content? If so, she should take a break from trying to act "Sassy" for the camera, and consider doing more local entertainment stories so that the show actually has a hook for the audience. Right now, this show is dreadful to watch.

The show is horrible!
The end!
