Newscast

Brigida Mack is news anchor for WBTV-TV.  She was nominated for an emmy in 2004 and has won many awards in Creative Loafing magazine under "Best of Charlotte" section. She came from WSOC.  Brigida enjoys watching Tar Heel basketball, working out, traveling and spending time with family and friends.

On Tuesday I watched the news on WBTV with Brigida Mack.  Her presentation is always very professional but at times she talks with too many pauses in my opinion. Sentences come across as poor pausing techniques. I guess this is a good thing because it allows her to have inflection in her voice by taking her time and paying attention to her speech.  Her tone was not as dramatic as most news anchors.  She comes across to me as just a normal news anchor, whereas, so many add color to their newscast to draw you into the stories.  I would much rather have her professionalism than the news anchors that try to be humerous and get so dramatic.  For instance, Eric Thomas, when he does the weather.  He is definitely one that adds color to his presentations.  He has a lot of inflection and use of tone, a very dramatic presentation, especially when there is exciting weather like tornadoes, hurricanes, etc that he gets to use his new technology.  Interesting point about someone that adds the dramatic aspect, will always be remembered more than the anchor that tends to sway more to the monotone area.
