I'm enjoying the on-air chemistry of Channel 2 News's Ernie Anastos and new addition Roz Abrams (who came from WABC). Both are seasoned New York anchors with solid reliability, and Abrams brings a reassuring warmth to the presentation.

The only downside is that Channel 2 seems to be taking cues from Fox on news direction with too many hyped-up service pieces ("Your birthdate may be stolen the next time you buy a MetroCard! Stay tuned for what you need to know!").

Still, the team of Anastos, Abrams, sportscaster Warner Wolf and meteorologist John Bolaris makes for a reasonably good evening newscast.
