What is up with the on air talent in Atlanta?

Now word comes that WXIA Traffic Reporter Elle Duncan was arrested on a DUI charge early Sunday morning.
What the cops say, the station did and what Duncan says about the incident after the jump
Read MoreKelly Nash, who covers the Tamba Bay Rays for Fox's Sun Sports, was in Boston Saturday for the Astros-Red Sox game, and decided to pass the time during batting practice by taking a few selfies around Fenway Park.
Here's what she had to say about the picture:
I was taking a picture of myself in the seats above the Green Monster during Red Sox batting practice.
Producer Art Dryce had called out 'heads up!' a few times while I was taking pictures around the left field section, but none of those balls actually fell close to me, so I took my chances turning my back on batting practice for a picture.

Read MoreMaybe it was the fact that Conan O'Brien made light of Al Roker pooping his pants at the White House.
But it seems that Roker was not very impressed with Conan's bit at the White House Corespondent's Dinner on Saturday night (You can watch the video here).
Roker took to Facebook to say that President Obam did and excellent job.
O'Brien? Not so much....
ould it be that Washington does comedy better than the Hollywood movie studios?
Conan O'Brien and Barack Obama provided more laughter Saturday night at the White HouseCorrespondents' Association Dinner than you're likely to find this weekend at the multiplex (Video of O'Brien's bit can be seen here)
The humor was often topical, sharp and elaborate.
Obama's speech contained an inspired film clip about Steven Spielberg's next film: "Obama." The clip presented Obama playing Daniel Day-Lewis playing Obama. Tracy Morganannounced he was portraying Joe Biden.
The correspondents' association turned to Kevin Spacey of "House of Cards" for help with its big spoof (See the video in the story below this one).

Read MoreHere is the intro to the White House Correspondents Dinner that used a spoof on House of Cards:
Former “Today” show anchor Meredith Vieira won’t be reading Brian Stelter’s dishy new book on her old morning show, “Top of the Morning,” any time soon.
“I’m not interested,” Vieira, who’s included in the tome, recently told Page Six.
“I’m over it . . . I’ve kind of been-there-done-that, and I don’t know what the interest is.” She added, “I don’t want to get on a high horse, because I understand why people write it. I’m not trying to say he’s wrong to do it, but I look at it and it’s so personal to me. It’s my friends.”
Vieira also defended embattled host Matt Lauer, telling us, “Even if [NBC] blew it from a p.r. point of view, you’ve got to move on. I think what is happening to Matt is really wrong.”
It looks like NBC knew they were going to push Jay Leno out the door months ago.
Emails show that several months before NBC announced on April 3 it was moving “The Tonight Show” back to New York with Fallon replacing Jay Leno as host, the network and the (NY Governor) Cuomo administration had talks about expanding the state’s film production tax credit program to cover talk and variety shows that relocate from other states.
The emails were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.

WPVI (Philly) anchor Jim Gardner has been on the air for years.
But he has also embraced Social Media and loves to hang out on Twitter.
When the Phillies had their opening day of the 2013 baseball season, Gardner Tweeted: "'Breathe in the smell of beer, mustard and funnel cake. Ah, we are reborn.' Quote from anonymous Mayan philosopher.#phillies."
Then he waited.
Nothing.
Huh? Why isn't anyone responding? C'mon! That one was funny, he thinks. Kind of, at least, right?

Read MoreFTVLive told you on the first day of the May book, WTKR in Norfolk had interviewed the station's former Anchor Les Smith.
Smith was the longtime anchor at the station until he disappeared from the airwaves without explanation. No one knew why. One day he just didn’t come back to work.
Now, WTKR is going back to the former talent pool to take another dip.
This time their going to use former weatherman Jon Cash to try and pull in some ratings.
Cash made headlines back in 2010 when the station fired him after 20 years on the air. The rumors were that he was not fired because of his evangelical ministry. He sued the station for religious discrimination.

Read MoreIt looks like Katie Couric got comedian Joan Rivers not in a laughing mood.
Couric and her show “Katie,” celebrated her show’s 100th episode with mother-daughter duo Joan and Melissa Rivers back on Feb. 22.
However, Word is the older Rivers was not doing much celebration.
“Joan left the show furious with Katie and her producers, vowing to never return,” one WE-TV insider tells the NY Daily News's Confidential. “It was meant to be a funny, silly, Oscar-themed party, but instead Joan felt the usually perky Katie got nasty.”

Read MoreKSL in Salt Lake City kicked off the May sweeps on Thursday night in a most unusual way.
After a few minutes of headlines, weather and sports, the station essentially abandoned its late newscast in favor of a commercial-free public service campaign to prevent suicide.
A laudable effort, to be sure. One worthy of praise and thanks. But it turned out to be a ratings stinker.
