Alycia to anchor in San Diego?

Alycia Lane has been offered a main-anchor slot at San Diego's KUSI-51, reports NewsBlues, a TV industry Web site. The site says that Lane is "considering the offer." Our e-mail to Lane's agent, and multiple calls to KUSI, have not been returned since Friday. KUSI's News Director is Steve Cohen who formerly held that title here at NBC10. Lane's been seeking a television gig since she was fired from CBS 3 in January.

UPDATE: "I trust you will print the truth, and no longer comment in your column on unsubstantiated rumors from gossipy web sites," writes Lane's agent Gregg Willinger, who also states that the NewsBlues report about San Diego is "not true." We last head from Willinger last month when he called to incorrectly argue that the writ of summons his client filed in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court in January is not a lawsuit, but he was wrong. It is. No word yet from KUSI.

Funny thing is, KUSI is a crappy station. JV news squad, for sure. All of the rejects from the major networks in San Diego end up there when they get the boot. I'm sure she'll become BFFs with Rod Luck, who is the epitome of cheese.

Booker can work in the copy room! Or something in Custodial Services...

That could be the key to the proverbial settlement between KYW TV3 and Alycia and once she is off to San Diego, KYW TV3 will then be able to bring back Larry Mendte once it is settled with the US Attorney's office. Unless Larry Mendte has a cache of illegal child porn in his hard drive, I do not see any barrier to resolving allegations he snooped into Alycia's email as there is no penalty on the books for such. Most likely, an apology and KYW TV 3 will have a new employee policy forbidding snooping on other people's emails while using work computers. Eventually, this issue can be resolved at the Congressional level sometime in 2009 which will include a penalty for illegal email snooping.

Let me guess, the station is looking for a bounce in their ratings...

Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale's sexual organ.

Does it really matter who reads the teleprompter? Local news "anchors" barely qualify as Wildwood, NJ Fortune wheel hawkers in the pecking order of journalism.
