That is a shame. Erica Edwards has been one of the best to anchor beside Dowe, in my opinion, in quite a while. So many of the pairings don't mesh.

It seems rather strange that there is such a turnover with this position. Are they getting better offers or is there turmoil in paradise working with Dowe??

"The markets dominant #1 News Leader has an opening for evening anchor."

Perhaps they will also replace the person who wrote the ad. They asked for someone with "great writing skills." The writer apparently went to the Apostrophe Minimalist School.

My guess is that Erica couldn't wait to get out of here. To the comments regarding whether they are getting better offers...really? What offer would be worse than Joplin?
