I would just like to add that it's been a complete coincidence that we've matched two days in a row! Tomorrow we're planning DIFFERENT colors :-)

It's the best looking morning show on TV! I think you should wear the same colors every day... it makes for interesting water cooler conversation :)

Awww I liked the matching colors. Not as easy to do with Mike Scott.

You two seem to have very good chemistry together. I hope she makes more appearances on the morning show.

@stevehawk: Thanks for posting the second pic, Steve, to show off our "matchiness"!

@prmedia: Glad you like the chemistry. As you can see by our outfits, we're on the same wavelength :-) Thanks for waking up with us!

Great looking team.
Great talent !
Way to go !

Wow. They come and they go.

Where did Roopam disappear to? The manager said she would 'be back soon.'

Great team of you, Mike and now Alicia Coates!

I agree with David Mogen above  .  .  .  what happened to Roopam Sidhu???

I wish that management would have more consideration for their viewers.  We get use to someone reporting the news and traffic and then they disappear into some broadcasting "black hole" ???  And you just cannot help but wonder what happened to them.

We cannot depend of the Fresno Bee for an explanation (and shouldn't have too)!

PLEASE, just let us know!

alicia is a great addition to morning team

Thanks for all the comments, folks.

Just to be clear, Alicia is filling in for Mike this week. We're still looking for our "official" morning anchor.

I know you welcome us into your home each morning & "can't help but wonder" what happens to us when one of us "disappears," but the station told you all it could with regard to Roopam; Roopam took an extended leave, and we held her job for her, but then she did not come back.

So we must move on, and we're looking for another great person to join Mike & me to help you wake up in the morning.. Thanks for watching!

I believe you have hit the right combination of Jenny and Alicia for the morning news. It would be great to see both of these ladies doing the news every morning.

Thanks Jenny!

Now we know the rest of the story!  

And you are so right, you just cannot remain static and you have to move on.  I just hope your search discovers someone as talented as you and Mike to be the new anchor.

My family and I wake up to your news program every morning.  And we shall continue to have our coffee with you and your news team!  Thanks for giving our day a refreshing start.

@Steved: Thanks--we have fun :-)

@ctaliaferro: Thanks for waking up with us, Charles. It makes me happy to know that I help others start their day off well. That makes the 2am wake-up worth it! Let me know how your family's doing, when you get a chance...

You two make a great news team and I enjoyed watching 47 News the entire week. I never once changed the channel to another news station.

Have a Great Day

@Steved-- That's what we love to hear! Glad we could keep you entertained while getting you the news you need to know. We had a lot of fun this week.

Mike's back next week everyone, so the good times continue!

Back to the comments on come & go....The station lets  Otstot go....furloughs people for a couple of weeks....and yet they are looking to hire a morning anchor...Makes NO SENSE to viewers...

We are hoping to have more stability in the coming months, so you can count on waking up to me, Mike, and our new morning anchor.

(As you know, Matt was let go due to cuts. The new morning anchor will be replacing Roopam.)

Yes, furloughs continue, so we will be off at times, but hopefully things will be settling down. Thanks for sticking with us!
