Roop Raj and Taryn Asher

Post by Deleted User 7620 » Sat Mar 26, 2022 6:02 pm

I am feeling kinda meh about them replacing Huel and Monica as the top anchor team. I like Taryn, but Roop doesn’t seem strong enough for that role. I can see this team lasting at most a couple years before Fox comes in and makes changes. Hope I am wrong about this.

Never really been a Roop fan. Hes OK. Hes not bad and he aint that great. Not one to make me WANT to tune in.
Taryn has always been solid.

I like Roop, but no one can replace Huel. It's going to be tough at first. Give them some time.


They/them, non-binary and proud.

I don't care for Roop in the anchor position because he comes across self centered and treats his co-anchor as being his assistant .Absolutely no bounce or shared conversation . It's only his show . Also he when he monitored Let it Rip he absolutely had no control or personality dealing with situations .

Put in Roop and Taryn. You will never replace Huel and Monica. They are icons like Carmen Harlan and Diana Lewis. Put them in a see what the ratings hold.

"Meh" is how I feel about WJBK's news product in general. Unless & until the station brings back the signature segments that put it on the map at 10PM, I have little interest in watching the product.'

Huel and Monica are good people, but Huel's syrupy sermonizing during interview segments in recent years became a bit too much for me to digest.

I gotta agree with that. Huel did seem to get more "preachy" the last couple of years.

Still …. (Huel n Monica) together and separate, they are icons of Detroit television.

It will take time for Roop & Taryn to get their Anchor Groove on.

Bonds & Lewis, Mort & Carmen, they all had to figure out how to get it together and eventually they did.

Roop may be polished, but he is FAR from professional.

Taryn is first class. Roop is fine as a fill in but not as a lead.

Honestly, Huel Perkins was the reason I stopped watching Fox 2 news years ago. He always came off as a little self righteous to me
