I hear Dawn Scott will be replacing Katie in 2008.
And Bob Schiefer is going to KATV to replace Scott Inman when he goes over to be the voice of the Razorbacks
That's funny:

July and August....double truck spread.
was someone on a previous thread comparing Dawn to Matt Mosler? Let's see...One of Arkansas'...no, Hall High's sweethearts who worked her way to the anchor desk, returns home pregnant.
Matt, same deal as before, less hair, more preachin' and less time to do the show...like a ron sherman deal that 7 had years before he walked. Do the math and then compare. Dawn and Matt? Sorry Matt you are a great guy, I'll stay up to watch Dawn. AMENERS-
no AMEN from me on Dawn or Matt. I don't want to look at her botched nose and I can't stand his high pitched voice. He should go into some sort of cartoon animations with that voice. Nothing personal against him. Just the voice irritates me is all. A streaker with Dawno would be ok but no guarantee on that. Looks like I'm going to be reading the Gazette, my online news and CNN for awhile.
