Here are some people who mastered those skill sets quite well, thank you. This totally subjective list contains 10 of the most memorable anchors in Phoenix TV history. The criteria: They were on air from the '70s onward, and they had to sit in the anchor chair no weather or sports personalities, unless they made the move to anchor.
After you check out these anchors who made an impact, vote for your favorite current TV news anchor in our poll at the bottom of the story. There seemed to be two trains of thought about Cameron Harper, Channel 3's main man for a nine-year stretch. One camp looked at his solid news credentials and his sharp interviewing skills; he was able to badly fluster then-Governor Evan Mecham in a interview that would have gone viral, had such a concept existed then.
Eventually, he wound up collecting 12 Emmys for a sterling career in broadcast journalism. Then there was the other group, those who enjoyed listening to him to talk he was dubbed "velvet-voiced" by one Phoenix publication and sighing about his prematurely silver mane of hair: "Why did he dye his gorgeous gray hair that dumb blond color? Still, don't hate him because he's beautiful. The guy is genuinely talented. In the '70s and '80s, he was a comfortable elder statesman of local TV. If he lacked the crusty edge of Bill Close, he instead offered a kinder, gentler presence.
With a crisp, military-style mustache and a pleasant demeanor he could have been a kindly family physician , Thompson, who died in , set a high standard for Arizona broadcasters. For that, we always will owe him a debt of gratitude.
Ford could have been a punch line. She is blonde, gorgeous and a former beauty queen; in fact, she was the first Arizonan to hold the Miss USA title.
But she is also intelligent and a hard worker, and when she decided to focus on TV news, she proved to be a natural. She was a constantly engaging presence, and not afraid to show her emotions. Would Close have approved? Probably not, but it also illustrated how Ford accurately captured the emotions of viewers. Some people have a trademark.
Close had his bola ties. For Curtis, it's an ever-present mustache. And just how famous is the Curtis 'stache? So much so that Stephen Colbert called it out during an episode of "The Colbert Report ," humorously talking about its, um, sensual qualities. Still, don't think that Curtis is a lightweight Ron Burgundy type. Initially a sportscaster, Curtis moved to the anchor desk during his second run at Channel 12, and has proved to be a solid, stabilizing presence, always pairing well with different partners a task not as easy as it looks.
