Former Fox 45 anchor Asa George lands new position
Wondering what happened to Asa George?
After an eight month job search, the former “Fox 45 in the Morning” anchor landed a position at WDJT-TV, the CBS affiliate in Milwaukee.
She will begin this week as a morning anchor there.
On April 8, Dean Ditmer, general manager of Fox 45/ ABC 22, said George was let go due to economic pressures at the station.
The five-year employee was replaced by Kylie Conway on “Fox 45 in the Morning.”

Glad she’s gone. Got tired of pronounciation of her name. Asa is just like is sounds. Not Asia, that’s the continent.

Congrats Asa!! The only problem I had with her was that she went to Texas and I went to Ohio State but we had fun teasing each other about it.

Steve, Don’t forget how many say Lima as LEEMA..If you are from outside the USA they say LEEMA not LIMA. Rooshie, Potatoe Potato Tomatoe Tomato, Russia Rooshie Asa Asia. Shes gone that is all that maters. It was never the way she did her job that got her hired, it was always her looks. TV stations care about looks over anything else. Don’t think I am right, just ask any former TV report who got canned after they aged..

Hope the beer and cheese heads in Milwaukee enjoy the eye candy as much as we did in Dayton. Think she did a good job with news too.

I think Fox 45/NBC 22 news needs to be imploded and rebuilt. It’s a shoddy excuse for a news venture with too much trying to happen at one time. Just tell the news. Don’t cram the screen with a million things and for the love of Pete, fix the color saturation! Red should be red, not purple! As far as Asa vs. Kylie, they’re both talented and attractive anchors and I wish them both well in their careers. Candace Hunter, however, can fall off the earth and no one would care.

“Economic pressures” right!!! More like pressures from the big wigs to cut costs, so that means let go the people who make the money and hire younger people and pay them half as much. I think the BIG WIGS should go. Well, I know one is on his way out!

I’m with you on this one, Linda. “Economic pressures” then they hire someone else. Still an unknown as Asa was and probably being paid about the same. I’m still pizzed about Mark Pompillio as well. Fox45 News sux now, anyhow. Watch 2News at 10 on the CW.

Asa and Kylie are both “eye candy”, and I guess the change was made because Kylie is cheaper than Asa. I don’t have a problem with either of them, and I wish Asa well in her new position. (I figured she’d go on to a larger market, so it turned out better for her).

I think they should have had a wrestling match between Asa and Kylie, maybe in jell-o, and let the winner have the job. the money the raised would have covered the ‘tough economic’ woes!

I think bob might be on to something. I might add they should wear skimpy bikinis as well…

Personally I think Asa wasnt bad but Kylie Conway is a very talented girl. Beauty and brains and a pleasure to see in the morning. That girl will go national someday, just you wait.

Hey, BOB up and kiss my a—, If Candace ever falls I hope I’m there to either catch her or let her fall on me to soften the fall,Sounds like Bob is Gay and he’s mad because Candace look MUCH better Than Him when he’s in Drag. Candace is pretty and very professional.
