Stephanie Edwards to return to KTLA Rose Parade coverage
 
Roses for KTLA's Stephanie Edwards -- LATimes
Quote:

There’ll be no rain on the upcoming Tournament of Roses Parade for former KTLA-TV host Stephanie Edwards -- at least, not figuratively.

Edwards, the veteran broadcaster who was removed from the station’s coverage of the New Year’s Day event two years ago after co-hosting for more than 25 years, will return to her familiar role on Jan. 1, 2009, station executives announced Tuesday.

“The people at the station thought it was a great idea, and Stephanie thought it was a great idea,” said station spokesman Paul Nichols.

Oddly, just this morning I was thinking about which Rose Parade coverage I would want to watch. We tried HGTV's last year -- gave up on KTLA after too much Michaela Pereira and Bob Eubanks subtly threatening to leave when his contract expired -- but now we'll be back. KTLA's coverage is picked up by KRON-4 here in the Bay Area.

Yay, this year's party just got better!


Is the theme still going to be LoT Goes to Hell??

This makes me happy! I liked their banter.

Aren't we already there?

Okay...i just spit my Coke all over the screen. That was so funny! :D

RStar 09-17-2008 01:06 PM

I didn't think Stephanie Edwards was that funny.









;) :D

Dude, Rose Parade w/out Stephanie is like... well, it sucked.

I can't believe she'd return after the appalling way she was treated the last couple years, sticking her out in the rain and all that.

I'd expect a large wad of green helped wash down the taste of indignation, or at least I know it would for me if anyone is offering....

Morrigoon 09-17-2008 02:28 PM

Especially if you were Stephanie Edwards and Lucky Supermarkets was no longer in business.

I wonder what prompted the previous ill treatment though, seriously. Because the whole world could tell someone was having a pissing match.

Lauragar 09-17-2008 02:30 PM

OMG!!!!! This is great news!!!!!

We have stopped watching channel 5 after they put Stephanie in the croud. She carries Bob, and when is he going to retire?

Wasn't that the year of the Great Bacon Shortage?

Moonliner 09-17-2008 06:58 PM

What?!?

No more Lucky's? Geeze you turn your back for a few years and look what happens.

There are Lucky's in NorCal.


Yes, I took a picture. Apparently it's giant. So it's no longer attached.

That's OK. It was there long enough for me to get a glimpse. I can rest easy tonight. Thanks.

Bay Area Albertson's stores became Lucky stores last year. Same ownership, return to a classic name. No sign of Stephanie Edwards on radio ads, though.

Not even close. But, we do have a theme already in place.

The theme this year is Cats. Now and Forever. ;) :p

JWBear 09-18-2008 10:09 PM

MEHHHHHHM-ries!

Not Afraid 09-19-2008 12:53 PM

Yes, the theme will be cats. It's unavoidable.

Chernabog 09-19-2008 01:06 PM

I'm not sure whose bright idea it was to give Stephanie the heave-ho and replace her with whatzername from the morning show, but I'm glad that Stephanie's back and the morning show personality will be elsewhere.

Stephanie Edwards fan since, oh, the '70s

It as me that made the decision - I'm sorry about that.

In that case, I'd like to talk to you about the morning news show.

Cadaverous Pallor 09-23-2008 10:17 AM

Yay! I'm a huge fan of their broadcast and was heartbroken the last few years.

Ghoulish Delight 09-23-2008 10:21 AM

They may have to rename it the "passive aggressive sniping parade" after this year. I can't WAIT!
