While personalities come and go Global BC has actually had some remarkable stability to their lineup of their newscasts. Usually if an anchor or reporter goes they’ve found something in another market, or are never seen again except if your buying a house in White Rock.
That being said Global has decided to shuffle their anchors after held arangements. Sophie Lui who has been shuffeled around Victoria, the Morning News, and Weekend news, has a permanent home with Jay Durant in the Noon News. The long standing YouTube famous team of Randene Neil and Squire Barnes get moved to News Hour Final at 11pm. The odd one out is Jill Krop who officialy a reporter and no longer an anchor which she has been for most of her career.
The move come a month after CTV and CITY TV both made changes to their staff. However the shuffle at Global is the most intriguing as it is basically all internal with no new shows or staff coming in.
As a viewer I’m shocked to see Krop knocked out of the anchor slot. It will be intriguing to see if she gets a big role in the evening newscasts but after spending her career in a studio, being out in the field may be a hard adjustment. What Krop did to loose the anchor chair perhaps could the stuff of gossip around the water coolers of Burnaby mountain for quite some time.
