WELCOME BACK, CHERISE

Nice to see Cherise D'Abadie back at TV6.
We kept asking for her hoping that someone would get the point and tell Samantha John that when her regular co-anchor is not there, she needs to say something to her audience every night out of courtesy.
Suppose someone missed three nights of the newscast and didn't know Cherise was on vacation?
It's done on morning shows and newscasts on all the networks in the U.S. When Brian Williams of NBC's Nightly News is off and Ann Curry fills in for him... the viewers are not left to guess what happened with Brian, she says he's off before going to the headlines.

The BBC does not do it because they usually have one anchor per newscast, and there is no face of the newscast per se...the same goes for CNN because of the same rotation.
