Vancouver News Biz: New Anchors & Crackpots

*Another Canadian news anchor who went south of the border to find fame and fortune is returning home to Canada and going on Global. Chris Gailus will be in Vancouver to do the weekend news as anchor starting in May. Is this this Tony Parsons future replacement? He immediately began shameless brown nosing. ""I love the city -- it's that simple," he said. "Vancouver is my favourite city in the world." Suck up.

*Meanwhile another local news person jumped the shark. CityTV's Dave Lefebvre, a news reporter is in the news because he loves to cook with his crock-pot. Oh my, Dave, remember when you wanted that serious career in news? Jump. He then explains the obvious: "The first reaction is to basically make fun of me. It's not macho for me to talk about cooking, and it's even less macho for me to talk about cooking with a Crock-Pot." Yep.

*Simi Sara interview in podcast form over at Dogma Radio.
