Chuck 'n Sue: Back at 6
Remember last week, how Sue Simmons got all frackin' crazy on Chuck Scarborough on the air, and during a promo, asked him what the frack was going on?
Well, Sue should have been so lucky: Not only did her remarkable verbal gaff NOT get her fired, but it got her a nice PROMOTION. The station just announced that Sue is going back to the catbird seat, the 6 p.m. news, where she'll be paired with ol' Chuck once again. She was demoted from the 'cast last year, and pushed to late nights. But ratings got even worse during the early evening.
"The lineup change is designed to play to the strengths of our core talent and best position us for our upcoming move to a 24/7 local news operation on our digital channel," said news chief Vickie Burns, in a statement.
What happens to outgoing 6 p.m. anchor, Lynda Baquero? She stays at the station, but will "move to a new reporting assignment."
OK.
Chuck n' Sue were an anchor team at 6 for something like half a century (minus twenty years.)
And for a final answer to that question: Did the F-bomb hurt her career? Looks like it enhanced it.

If in fact Chuck did something inappropriate to her, the average person would have reacted the same way. It kind of makes you wonder if their relationship is more than business. I don't think he would just randomly put his hand up her skirt. He just forgot where he was, maybe.
