Why ground Superman? "We're coming up off a major story line set in space," said Dan DiDio, DC's copublisher. "We want to connect him to his human side, the farm boy who grew up in Kansas."
Writer J. Michael Straczynski "really wanted to get a sense of America," DiDio said. The 12-issue series, called "Grounded," will run through next June, and people in other cities have been asked to send in story ideas.
Moving bodies at NBC10
Change has come to NBC10, and the two most apparent involve
Renee Chenault-Fattah, who was one of the few main anchors in town assigned to one show per day. She has gone back to coanchoring at 6 p.m., joining
Tim Lake, her 11 p.m. partner.
The second is the reassignment of Lori Wilson from entertainment-focused The 10! Show (11 a.m. weekdays), after four years, to the anchor desk. She's coanchoring at 4 p.m. with Dawn Timmeney and the 10 p.m. report on MYPHL17, as well as reporting for the 11 p.m. news.
For most of her 12 years in TV, Wilson was a morning person, and now, "I'm trying to figure out when I'm supposed to be awake and when I'm supposed to be sleeping," she said. Wilson says she's not sure why she was reassigned - she's in contract negotiations and hopes to re-up - but doesn't seem to mind. "My goal has always been personal growth, and so this is a good thing," she said.
