Great topic! Already saw the NY Post article on Darlene Rodriguez, who is very attractive indeed. And the thought of what these cuties might be doing under the anchor desk makes watching the news a little distracting, to say the least.

I'd love to see a camera shot under the anchor desk as they read the news.

Thats Hot!Even though they are not wearing hose they are broadcasting with there shoes off.When I think of a news anchor I think "serious professional" who wouldnt dare remove her shoes.Above the desk they are being professional but under it they are playful reminds me of playing footsie.

Dear All,

Has anyone ever seen a TV reporter with her shoes off on air? If so what was the circumstance. Ive tried to look at Darlener Rodriguez but the desk she sits at makes it impossible.

Actually they need to take their shoes off because there's a teleprompter remote that they use to prompt the script and the green screen. So it's much nicer and easier on the wear and tear of the remote if they take their shoes off. I've seen the studio and that's why I know they take their shoes off for certain. Just my two cents.

Hmmm, offhand I recall some discussion of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0283745/">The Jane Whitney Show</a>. I never saw it but apparently she did most of her shows without shoes. Not a news anchor type situation but it may fit the bill for some of you. No pics in the link unfortunately, just the IMDB entry. Someone out there may have caps.

A while ago I caught a CNN report (I was at my German place drinking beer and taking in some rare TV time) that showed several shoeless female reports on location. The report was actually about how reporters live on location and the comment was made that "it's like the beach out here it's so hot, so I don't have to wear my shoes".

Some message board many months or more ago mentioned Robin Meade on CNN being shoeless for an interview segment. I know there is a cap somewhere of Diane Sawyer with her empty high heels lying underneath her interview chair.

On a personal note: Please Jennifer, just once... :kiss: :love:

DP, don't leave out Rudi Bakhtiar, but I was the one who brought up Jane Whitney. Too bad that show is off the air, but she once stated that she's shoeless because she does a lot of walking up and down stage so having heels on is not fun for her. But oh my those stockinged feet...I wouldn't be able to keep my eyes off of her.

I'm glad you mentioned this Kingdom. I wasn't sure where I had first read about her.

Oh, I have not forgotten about her. I singled out JLo because at least with Rudi we got to see her full body at the beginning of the news segments where she was standing up. Even there you can see how small she really is.

With JLo she's either behind the desk or is cut off at the thighs when she is working the map. The only time I've ever seen her legs was the old TWC safety promo where she hosted the camping segment. That was before she transformed into ubersexy JLo. :love:

BTW - where is Rudi? Last I checked her bio was no longer on the CNN site. There were rumors floating around the CNN fan boards that she was going to Fox, or that her dad was very ill and she was quitting to take care of him.

Crap I don't know. I'm not in the States anymore so I haven't had a chance to find out. Check out her Yahoo groups. I hope she's ok. If she goes to fox, well then it's a whole different ball game. I guess CNN Headline News isn't gonna give her a better position. There is a glass ceiling there, not much you could do in terms of expanding your position. BTW my TWC girl will always be Jen Carfagno DP.

Linda Church, the weather woman on the WB11 morning news had her shoes off this morning. It was around 5:30 in the morning. I think she may put her shoes on when the normal morning cast gets together. Has anyone else noticed this in the NY METRO area?

I took the day off from work today and Linda Church from the WB11 Morning News had her shoes off. From five to seven she sits off to the left side of the set. There's a perfect view of what she does under the desk and she never has her shoes on. From seven to nine...she sits in the middle of the newsdesk and you lose the view. IF you have the time, its well worth it.

Here is the 2004 article ,now that the NY Post link is dead, i got the article from a Univision forum.
ANCHOR AWAY!



By ROB MARKMAN

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

December 8, 2004 --

NEXT time you tune into the NBC morning show, "Today in New York," look really closely at the anchor’s feet. If you’re lucky, you might get a glimpse of Darlene Rodriguez’s toes, thus discovering her deep, dark secret: she delivers the news barefoot.



A barefoot anchor may make co-workers a tad uncomfortable, but at NBC studios no one seems to mind. "So far I haven’t had any complaints," Darlene brags.



Sexy high heels are the last thing on the mind of this modern-day Wonder Woman who has three kids, a cop for a husband, a dog named Luna and a job that requires her to wake up when most folks are just getting to bed.



We spent a day with the Bronx-born-and-raised Boricua news-hound and learned that her favorite sound in the world is her husband’s key opening the front door and that she wishes suburban supermarkets would double their Goya food selections.



2:45 a.m.: The blaring, siren-like ring of the alarm clock cuts through the Rodriguez’s Westchester home, forcing Darlene out of her bed and across the length of her bedroom to silence the annoying sound. "There is absolutely no snooze button on this shift," she laments.



3:15 a.m.: After a quick shower, Dar-lene jumps into the clothes she laid out the night before. She then hops into her SUV and drives herself into Manhattan. She could easily have a company car take her into work, but she’d rather be in the driver’s seat. "I like the way I drive better than anyone else’s," she says.



4:05 a.m.: Darlene arrives at a midtown parking lot where Pierre, an NBC security guard, escorts her into 30 Rockefeller Center. "Pierre is my buddy. We know a lot about each other," she says. "He has a nephew who is a terror and my son is also a terror, so we compare stories."



4:15 a.m.: Breezing through the NBC building, she rushes up to the sixth floor make-up room. "My hair and makeup team, Anna and Lisette, they’re two Puerto Rican girls. There is a lot of female bonding in the room," Rodriguez says. "It’s like the old-school sleepovers," she adds. This morning, however, the festivities are cut short — it’s less than an hour before show time, and Dar-lene needs to go over her notes to get the latest updates.



4:59 a.m.: Only a few seconds before she goes on air and despite the studio’s hot lights, Darlene is as cool as can be. While sitting at the news desk, she slips off her shoes and admits that she "likes to be barefoot" during her broadcast. Once the air hits her toes, she’s good to go.



6:30 a.m.: The newsroom is absolutely hectic as cameramen and journalists buzz around. Darlene is starving, but she manages to stay focused. While most of the city is eating breakfast, Darlene and the crew snack on some cheeseburgers. "When you wake up at 3:00 a.m., by 7:30 you don’t want eggs, you want Chinese food!" she says with a laugh.



8:20 a.m.: After yet another successful broadcast, Darlene heads to the office for a meeting.



10:15 a.m.: Darlene jumps in her car and heads back to Westch-ester. Her workday is over. Her second day job — her kids, David Jr., 3, and one-year-old Natalia —is waiting for her. During the ride, Darlene sings along to salsa tunes by Victor Manuelle and Héctor Lavoé. She takes a break between verses to describe motherhood. "It’s the biggest responsibility," she admits. "It’s the biggest job in the whole world, and it’s the most rewarding."



11:30 a.m.: After battling quite a bit of traffic, Darlene makes a quick stop at the supermarket. Her shopping cart is filled with the usuals — bread, juice and milk. She then takes the obligatory stroll down the Goya aisle, stocking up on cans of beans, sofrito and sazón. "In these Westchester towns, [they] need to bring more Goya to the supermarkets," Dar-lene jokes.



12:15 p.m.: Darlene is finally home. She kisses and hugs David Jr. and Natalia for what seems like an eternity. She heads to the kitchen and prepares them peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch. Afterwards, Darlene and the kids lay down for an afternoon nap. "Gotta have the nap!" she laughs.



1:50 p.m.: After their nap, she rounds up the kids and they head to the park. "They are easy to entertain at this age; any park will do," Darlene says as she chases after an off-balance Natalia, making sure her youngest doesn’t spill over.



3:10 p.m.: Back home, Luna, the family’s pet Bull Terrier, greets them with a barrage of barks. Darlene sits the kids down for coloring time while she gets dinner started.



5:05 p.m.: David, Dar-lene’s police officer husband, gets home from work. Darlene admits that she constantly worries about his safety. "He’s really dealing with the worst that society has to offer," she says, "and I’m always very grateful when I hear the key in the door." Darlene and her stepdaughter Katina, 11, start serving dinner. Seated in her highchair, Natalia starts throwing rice everywhere. Luna, the dog, tries to get Natalia’s scraps. Meanwhile, David Jr. is refusing to eat. "Although dinner is really chaotic, it’s very important to me that everybody is sitting there together.



9:30 p.m.: It has been a long, exhausting day. David Sr. is working the late shift. The next day’s clothes are picked out and the alarm is set. When the clock strikes 2:45 a.m., she will once again throw on her Wonder Woman outfit and bring us the news that changes the world.
I hope people share more sightings and experiences :)
