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??

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

I didn't think Stephanie Edwards was that funny.

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....

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.

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?
