This Ball guy has a long history of getting fired from local TV news gigs and then a failed run for Congress. Watching his first show, he is definitely unimpressive. Alex Salvi is excellent, really world-class, and they're going to lose viewers by bumping him to 11PM ET/8PM PT after this hard-to-stomach new guy. I really can't imagine what they're thinking. And a little social media search shows they've hired his fiancee as a "producer", though her entire IG history and personal website show nothing but skanky "modeling".

OAN has been on such a great upward trend for a while now. I really hate to see them making stupid moves like this.

I'm a little concerned with the direction the network is heading.

It appears that Graham Ledger of the Daily Ledger is no longer on the network? Saw a different show in his time slot the other day.

And that blonde lady just left recently. Definitely not impressed with where they're headed.

Oh well, I've got .win and RSBN for Trump rallies. I'm good.

Yep, looks like Graham is gone too.

Yes, Ledger is gone. I liked him, but could see how he wasn't ever going to drive big viewership. His replacement is pretty good.

Which "blonde lady" are you referring to?

Overall, things are still good. Christina Bobb is an excellent addition. She's new to on-camera reporting so a little shaky, but she's clearly very smart and has a solid background and strong DC and military connections. https://www.oann.com/one-america-news-hires-christina-bobb-for-dc-and-administration-news-coverage/

But this Dan Ball is a head-scratcher. WHAT are they thinking?
