debidont3, Ruth was let go a few weeks ago after her contract expired and the station decided not to renew it.  They say they needed more of her time, she says they had to cut costs and she was too expensive for them.  I haven't heard the official version yet of why Terry was demoted.  I think Barbara Smith is great, but I really can't stand Ross Becker.  His style is completely at odds with Utah, in my opinion.  He feels very fake and tends to overdramatize the news.  Why they would replace such a fine anchor as Ruth with this guy is baffling to me.  Hopefully the viewership will go down and they will soon realize that they made a big mistake.
