Channel 4 Anchor Changes
Two days into the anchor changes at KXLY 4 HD News, any comments or critiques?
Good Morning Northwest anchor and managing editor Nadine Woodward now anchoring the full two hour broadcast? Does it seem more fast paced with Nadine going solo?
How is Kalae Chock doing at 11pm? Other than a few script stumbles, no glaring errors. Maybe a bit of an uncomfortable or cool welcome by the chief meteorologist?
What do you think? Was the right person moved to the "PM" shift? How long until Kalae co-anchors the earlier evening newscasts?

Kalae Chock Moving to Evenings at KXLY
Kalae Chock is leaving KXLY's Good Morning Northwest for the evening shift on channel 4. Kalae will report for KXLY 4 HD News at 5pm, 6pm and 6:30pm and co-anchor the 11pm weekday broadcast. Kalae has been anchoring "GMNW" for 5 years. Beginning Monday July 12th Nadine Woodward will anchor both hours of Good Morning Northwest alongside Mike Gonzalez.
The changes are being made as a result of KXLY's "impressive" May book ratings. KXLY insiders are crediting the massive print, TV, billboard and radio PR campaign announcing Nadine Woodward's arrival for the ratings gains. With this change viewers will now have a two hour daily dose of Nadine Woodward. Her loyal viewers will now know where to find her, weekday mornings on Good Morning Northwest.
