She is like the worst, wooden, puppet, on the news right now.

The weather and financials should just be delegated to those that know what they are talking about, vs. those who cant swim without the teleprompter.
Will someone do her a favor and remind her that we are no longer in the '80's?

i think she is beautiful, intelligent,and has a wonderful personality and attitude!!! i think i love her!!!!

hey anonymous,

go figure you couldn't post your name & I'm sure you don't even know her to talk bad about her

I have actually seen her in person & the TV does her no justice -- she is hot!!!

I dont care how hot she is, she should be more of a natural by now. She still talks like its her first day on TV, flubs her lines, says 75 degrees is a heat wave - just because its written on the copy, and dresses like its 1988. Im sorry Dominica Davis was too talented to stay in this market. At least she exhuberated confidence. And who cares if I dont leave my name - you dont know me anyway!

good looking! great personality! great prese tation! knows her material!

pretty smart knows her materil

I'm glad that somebody else can't stand her. I haven't been able to watch an entire morning show since Neil left unless Sandra is off. If I hear her say "percolating" one more time I will scream! I don't know why they haven't asked Stan to dye his hair blonde to match the rest of the morning team!!! He is the only reason I still turn it on.

"exhuberated confidence." That's a classic! Thanks, Anonymous!

I am thrilled to hear that Sandra Shaw has been selected to co-host an August episode of Live With Regis And Kelly. She is perfect for the job ... perky, exuberant, smart, a real natural. What anyone saw in Domenica Davis - including my husband - is beyond me. In my opinion, anyone who would stoop to work at Fox can't be all that good. What a hack network! Fox is NOT a news organization and their employees are NOT journalists.

She is horrible. Is there a more awkward person ever? Her jokes are not funny even though they make her laugh. I wish the traffic girl did the weather.

Satin? Come on. It never has been in style for TV.

Just because the average temperature is 88° doesn't mean 'we should be'. Stop treating it like it's the end of the world we we are 4 degrees below average.

Rant over.

I am so happy that Sandra will get the chance to host a big time show like Regis and Kelly. After listening to her on the 12 o"clock news, she was so happy I thought she was going to fall off her chair. She has so much charisma and with her big smile and pretty blond hair, she will have a good chance of winning. I hope she gets it. If she does win, I don't see her staying in Baltimore much longer. But I am hope I am wrong because she is the only reason I watch the news on WBALTV in the morning and noon.

Tony Pann is returning to WBAL from the DC market for the morning slot. Is Sandra out of here? Still miss Neil, he is the best!

Youre welcome jeff!

i know Sandra, personally. what you see on TV is really how Sandra is. nice and really smart. i'm happy for her because she deserves it..and really, can you imagine anyone else.

I love all the comments...............I must agree with those that say:...............Sandra Shaw is horrible. She really is........Could one of the ladies at the station take her shopping for a decent wardrobe ??

I think most of the negative comments posted about Sandra Shaw are by people who don't have a life and couldn't get a date from someone as classy as Sandra anyway. You people probably do nothing but sit on the computer making terrible comments because nobody would want you anyway.
