this is the first F&F live thread i've seen and it's a great idea... i imagine bunches of us are waking up with F&F most morns...

Gretchen is doing a great job... my favorite E.D. sit-in is Loren Green... she's not as polished as she would be if she got more into shows than news delivery, but lots of potential there too, IMVHO

and I believe Loren is a former Miss Minnesota as well as a concert pianist...

I work 6PM to 6AM and I have often thought that we needed a F&F thread, but I did not know if anyone would be interested.

Me Too, I find Loren to be beautiful and smoothe. I'd like to see her get more face time.

I absolutely agree on Lauren Green. Not only is she an accomplished concert pianist, she has such a screen presence. One evening, dressed in formal attire, she provided music for Cal Thomas' show and if memory serves me, also sang with some of her jazz pieces.

Speaking in clear, dulcet tones, she delivers the news at the news breaks, can ad lib with one of the "guys" on F&F without skipping a beat then return to reporting news. I do believe that she was a Miss Minnesota in the Miss America contest.
