KPLR

The first thing I noticed about this news station was the color that seems to always be the first thing I see. The colors were light blue and the set to me was stylish. The anchors that I saw were Rick Edlund and Melanie Moon. Rick was wearing a blue suit with a light blue shirt underneath and a red and white striped tie. Melanie was wearing a red suite jacket with a white shirt underneath. I always look at the jewelry that the female anchors are wearing but I did not notice Melanies.
The reporters that I saw in the first ten minutes were Mat Gamewell he was wearing a black suit green tie and a white undershirt. The live shot took place in a hospital with a patient. The second reporter was Theresa Petry she was wearing a all black suite. Her live shot were police officers and police cars.
The first stories that I remember were about the police officers not being paid enough. The chief wants a 5% raise. He fears that he may loose good officers if they are not paid more. City officers make less than county and chesterfield. The city has more crime to deal with so there is no reason that they are not paid more. They feel that St. Louis would benefit from this raise.
The second story that I remember was that horrifying report on that abduction and rap of the seven year old girl. Tony Miller was the reporter and the stand up was outside the courthouse. They are trying to decide where the sex offender should be sent to a prison or a mental facility.
I enjoyed watching the news it seemed that they got right to the point and let us know only the import issues. Yes I will watch this channel again.
