NBC10 lets another anchor go, Dawn Timmeney was not renewed

POSTED: Wednesday, December 19, 2012, 8:52 AM

NBC 10 sheds another anchor.

Dawn Timmeney, who anchored the 4 and 5:30 p.m. newscast worked her last day at the station on Friday.

Timmeney, who worked at NBC10 for nearly 12 years, was not renewed by the station, which we reported recently had also chosen not to renew Tim Lake.

NBC 10 news director Anzio Williams emailed staff another generic statement about a veteran staffer's departure, as he did after Lake's final newscast.

"In her 12 years at NBC 10 Dawn Timmeney has worn many hats in different dayparts. Please join me in wishing Dawn the very best as she moves forward.

Timmeney did not return a request for comment.

    I don't get the whole local news programs thing. Why do we need somebody to read the news to us? I read the news online early in the day and then when I stumble onto a news broadcast they are telling me what I already know. Local news programs are literally a waste of time. Unless of course you can't read.

    These stations dump anchors, weather and sports people on a whim hoping to pick up a couple tenths in rating points. Only Action News which has ruled the roost forever is stable. I think the trend is pick up hot female anchors with boob jobs like Fox News. As long as they can read a teleprompter and look like a stripper they have a good chance of getting hired.

    It's NBC so they're probably going to mirror the kind of people they have at MSNBC. So look for them to hire John Street to be an anchor and Rob Parker (the RG III racist guy) to do sports and Jim Matthews (Chris' brother) for commentary.

    Let's face it guys, NBC10 has to get younger (and hotter). They watch 6ABC make a smooth interjection of younger (and hotter) on air talent and the see the buzz Sheena has brought back to the station and had to move as well. They'll bring in more age 30 newscasters and traffic reporters and then see their ratings tick upward. Nature of the business, Dawn will land on her feet...in Topeka, Kansas.

    Our household has switched away from 10 because of all the turnover. Stick that in your ratings pipe, Anzio!
