Happened to catch the 9 o’clock news on KFVE where Diane Ako was welcomed back from maternity leave.

So no more searching for Diane Ako. She’s back on the air.

Searching for Diane Ako: Update #2

I’m still amazed at the amount of hits Pulpconnection gets from the Listmania: Hottest Local Newscasters poll. Logs show quite a few visitors every so often who check out this poll.

Because of the frequent hits, Pulpconnection is listed pretty high up for some of the newscasters mentioned. In March 2006, the Listmania post was #16 in Google’s search results for Diane Ako. Today, the post is listed at #4!! (go Google Diane Ako and see for yourself). For Stepanie Lum, the Pulpconnection post is listed at #8.

Due to this popularity, I’m really thinking it’s time for another Listmania. But instead of rehashing the same topic of newscasters, I’ll probably widen the field to include any local celebrity. Be on the lookout for an upcoming Pulpconnection Listmania.

Over the weekend, there were two more comments on an old favorite, Hottest Local Newscasters. Not sure why there was activity but if you want to relive some memories (and more discussion about Tasha Kobashigawa), check out these old posts.

Listmania: Hottest Local Newscasters
Pau: Listmania Hottest Local Newscasters
Tasha Kobashigawa – “This is my final broadcast”
Jade Moon Leaving (she didn’t get any votes but still related to local newscasters)

On the subject of local newscasters, I saw Howard Dashefsky at Safeway and someone that looked like Beth Hillyer over the weekend in Kailua.

Stephanie Lum started with an early lead and kept it (maybe something about marathon runners being hot). Dave Erickson jumped to second place at the very end, followed by a bunch with three votes each. The anchor spot got the most votes and watch KHNL or KITV for friendly faces.

Update: Since the poll is done, check out the results here.

Suggested by the Tabasco Man after Wayne’s World saw Diane Ako, this listmania asks who’s the hottest local newscaster?

Each commenter gets 3 votes. Use all three votes on one person (male or female), mix and match, or give three newscasters one vote each.
