“It has been my dream to work for network news, and I feel my 17 years of anchoring experience have prepared me for this new role of co-hosting ‘Wake Up America.’ It’s an absolute honor!” said McBride.

What happened to the former female host on early news show?
Why can’t Newsmax leave things alone? I get used to hosts and shows only to find these “sudden” changes and no announcement where the person replaced has gone (I can guess). It is insulting to me as a viewer. There are other news options. I left fox and now considering dumping Newsmax.
Sharla will be a great addition! She was excellent at WNEP! Truly missed
Yup leaving newsmax. Your app still is broke. You let go a nice lady and hired more flash. What you should have don is to dump weasely finnery who cant shut up
This woman seems to think everything is funny. Stop laughing at everything that you talk about.
