Should Uma and Donna Host?

There are two talented members of the Fox News Channel family who deserve shots at regular hosting assignments. As mentioned in an earlier post Uma Pemmaraju has more than a quarter-century of broadcast journalism experience. In fact, for most of the three years of her first FNC stint (1996-99), Uma was one of the hosts of Fox News Now, forerunner of Fox News Live. She has had hosting opportunities during her second stint, which began in May, 2003. She has subsitituted for Rita Cosby, Geraldo Rivera, and Greta Van Susteren, has hosted weekend versions of The Fox Report and guest hosted Fox News Live. Uma's FNC colleague, Donna Fiducia, is also deserving of a regular hosting assignment. Unfortunately, Donna has been relegated to overnight news updates four nights a week. She had hosted Fox News Live for a number of years until she was banished into overnight duty.
