In all likelihood, last night was Dawn Stensland's final day at Fox 29. The anchor, who we told you yesterday would be leaving beforfe the end of the year, anchored the 10 p.m. newscast and subsequent Phillies celebration coverage, but we hear station management decided yesterday that if the Phillies won, Stensland would not return so Fox 29 could go full speed ahead into the World Series with its new anchor team of Kerri-Lee Halkett and Thomas Drayton. Fox is broadcasting the World Series and also has tonight's Yankees/Angels ALCS game in which the Yankees could clinch.  Yesterday we quoted the station spokeswoman that the timetable of Stensland's departure was still being worked out.

You could put a talking mannequin in the anchor desk and I wouldn't know the difference.

These stations should save money and staff the local news with chimps. It would be more interested. Best cheesesteaks in Philly, film at 10!
