KOLD News 13 is finally getting its props as a solid news team. This year's tie in the polling represents a victory for Randy Garsee, Barbara Grijalva, Kris Pickel, etc., over the dominance KVOA has held for years. The energetic weekend team, Dan Marries and Kaushal Patel, manages to work past the traditional Saturday/Sunday shortage of news hunters/gatherers. On the weather front, meteorologist Chuck George provides understandable explanations of complex environmental physics complete with visual illustrations. He's poised to take on the cherished Michael Goodrich mantle: the bright guy with a friendly smile who knows way too much so we don't have to. Overall, News 13 is poised to become the new heavyweight on the local news scene.
