Well, if readers aren't merely overwhelmed by Nate Tannenbaum's raw and visceral sensuality, it's gotta be his retro-chic bow ties and easygoing professionalism that keep readers tuned to his pretense-free weather reports on KVBC-TV, Channel 3. This marks his second consecutive win with readers, with Mark Pfister finishing a distant second. Just two questions Nate: "Hot summer ahead?" and "Whatever happened to that El Niņo guy who was co-hosting the show last year?"
Our Pick: TED TEXTOR
Again, we're demonstrating our allegiance to the broadcast journalism profession, or at least certain faves, by sticking with Ted Textor of KTNV-TV, Channel 13, who dumped a steady gig with the Cable News Network and transferred his skills to "hot or not" Las Vegas. He's upbeat without being irritating or trying to convince viewers that meteorology is a job that ranks right behind brain surgery and rocket science on the "too-advanced-for-you-losers" charts. In other words, Textor is a pro who treats his viewers as being capable of understanding weather patterns, even if we're just wondering whether we need to take a jacket out tonight.
