During a post-Thanksgiving dinner game of Apples to Apples -- which could very well be the best board game invented, ever -- the hostess turned to me and said, "You know who I'm really into right now? Gasia Mikaelian."
"Us too!," we slurred back.
And how could we not love the KTVU journo? Not only is this East Bay native into opera and David Sedaris, but her name is most exquisite. Say it loudly, it's a call to arms; whisper it softly, it's prayer to the Baby Jesus.
But when it comes to our favorite, we can't figure out whose camera-ready face we like more. Mikaelian, Pam Moore, Dana King, and Wendy Tokuda need to have a some sort of four-way hair-pulling deathmatch in order for us to figure out who we adore more. (KRON 4's Chris Murphy eliminated himself when it was revealed he has a wife. Unacceptable.)
This brings up the question: Who is the best newsteam duo in the Bay Area? Sure, on-air talent are a frightening lot. (Ruthless drive and pancake makeup is a toxic combination.) But most of you prefer one local news broadcast over the other, and usually the duo at the desk has most to do with your choice.
What say you? We'll announce the victor sometime later this week.

Terilyn Joe forever!! Man, that was some great hair.
Booo, those guys are all terrible! Daria and Mark from Kron4 get my vote :)
if Gasia and Sandia Patel ever merged, well, i would get lots of boners during the evening newscast.
Nobody holds a candle to Audrey Carville. Europe Today, 9am PDT on the BBC World Service.
Van Amburg & Jerry Jensen!
@SFJoe: Indeed. You could always tell the state of the economy by the size of her bouffant 'do. I'd imagine she'd be bald with the current state of everything.
Gasia certainly is a cutie, but I've always been a fan of Ms. Liviakis.
I don't watch news on TV--I get everything I need from the SFist.
BUT, I LOVE Gasia's name. I can't stop saying it. It's magical.
I wonder if her friends call her Gassy. That would be unfortunate.
sandhya patel reigns supreme!
The traffic bird on KRON in the morning, Evelyn Taft, gives me a chubby.
Ah Gasia, yes, you are referred to as 'Gassy' in my household also. And, if I've been "over served" you sometimes get the moniker "Gash"-ia which is a result of the aforementioned hooch, but also serves as an awesomely inappropriate piece of slang I picked up from a Brit co-worker.
Too bad Sarah Sidner left for CNN, I'd watch her deliver the news any day. Also, Darya Folsom, only good when the mute button is in play.
i always wanted to see pete wilson and dennis richmond co-anchor the news. .. with a side of faith fancher. alas...
The morning phone in between Daria and Radnich is pure comedy gold.
A.) You people have too much time on your hands.
B.) Whatever happened to Terilyn Joe and her Legendary Bouffant of Yesteryear? Remember when she used to have Tourette's attacks all over construction workers outside her Russian Hill manse? Also, no newscaster in the history of newscasting could manage to look barely able to contain his seething anger any better than Dennis Richmond. He gave the words "we're damned mad and we're not gonna take it anymore" a whole new special meaning.
I get all my Bay Area news right here.
she's hot alright. i think my iranian neighbor knows her. part of the whole persian kitty network and all.
what about heather holmes? jeeze louise she's unbelievable.
"persian kitty network?"

I am all about the weather women.
Sandhya is right up there, but my current

I have long maintained that you are not a true San Franciscan until you've met a TV News Anchorperson.
Chris and Pam get my sympathy vote just cause they have to put up with Gary Radnich's increasing airtime
