Vinnie comes across as a slick used car salesman, not the the kind, warm person I want to wake up to see. Karen was that person and you felt like she cared about the team and her viewers. Please bring her back. This decision was as bad as bringing in Mike Francis. I don't like Channel 2 but may have no recourse if things don't change!

The morning show is simply too boring. There is no chemistry between Vinnie and his group; everything seems forced. I have watched the morning show faithfully for over 20 years and I am very disappointed. First, if you are going to make changes, do not dump everyone and start with a whole new team. Secondly, know your viewers. Karyn brought light to the morning news and now that light has been severely dimmed. Why did you not keep Karyn and add Vinnie to see how that would work. If you are concerned about ratings, you have made a huge mistake with such drastic changes. As of last week, I have officially stopped watching 11 Alive; I just cannot bare that forced, siff, dialogue. Vinnie is boring, please rethink what you have done.

I've spent every weekday morning with 11Alive for the past 20+ years. But I just can't do it anymore. This new morning show is like a slow motion train wreck. The chemistry is painfully awkward and difficult to watch. Chesley, Valerie, Jaye, Donna and Crash are awesome. Karyn was fabulous. Bring her back! Sorry, you lost a very long-time viewer.

I want the old team back.i find it hard to believe 11 alive was third place. The chemistry betwnn Karyn Greer , Donna Lowry and the rest of the crew was magical. Vinnie needs to go back to court tv . You all made a huge mistake!!! I will be moving to another morning show.

I really tried to give Vinnie a chance, but this morning show is falling apart. He is as obnoxious as Mike Francis. Why in the world would you take Karyn Greer off for this guy? He doesn't connect with the audience & the new morning team doesn't connect with him! Still love Chesley, but we need Karyn back desperately to unite the team. Bad decision 11 Alive, I may have to change channels & I have been a loyal viewer for over 10 years.

Karyn, Chesley, Valerie, and all the others made 11 alive the best morning show. Bring Karyn back!! If it ain't broke don't fix it!! Put the dream team back in
place

They screwed up the chemistry. Vinnie is like the guy driving the BMW cutting in front of everyone. Obnoxious. He and Chesley don't appear to connect on camera. Chesley and Karyn are the personalities that draw people in. Bring Karyn back please I can't stand to watch until you do.

WE WANT KARYN AND DONNA BACK! Your morning news sucks now. You've lost a viewer. I'm changing over to another station.

Why Vinnie? This guy is a slick lawyer...send him back to cnn please. I have been watching 11 morning news for over 20 years and today I have started watching channel 2. If they wanted to improve morning news why didn't they hire someone who could spell someone who knows how to get the right tapes with the story being discussed? Well who ever decided on this guy must be from Jersey.

What were you thinking???????? Breaking that group up (Karen, Chesley, Jaye ,Jennifer, Donna) was a terrible decision and you certainly did not have th viewers in mind. They had such chemistry and made the show fun to watch. It was apparent they all enjoyed working with each other and they made you want to wake up early to watch the an early show. They were even better than the Today Show hosts. The group you have now--they are BORING!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't stand the trailers before he started. Just turned it on this morning to check him out. I'll go back to Channel 2. He's too over the top for me and it 's almost like he's never done this before. Has he? Hopefully you won 't lose too many viewers but you've sure lost me. Twenty minutes was all I could take.

I so enjoyed the camaraderie of the morning anchors and watching them was a pleasure -the reason I chose this morning show over the others. Karen, Chesley, Jaye ,Jennifer, Donna, Jerry ,Valerie and the traffic guys made the news a fun learning experience!
