Is there any way you guys can put the tivo'd clips of the friday dance on your website? Or at least e-mail them to me? I think Ana is HOT! I also remember some voicemail segment of her in a very revealing holoween costume. Do you have that, too?

I actually used to watch her on univision and i don't even speak spanish...so i know she can do serious reporting and newsreading. Uhhh...if you don't understand spanish, then how did you come to that conclusion?

people here are actually debating the Content of her reports??? i don't care what she is 'reporting' on, as long as she is on my TV!

Geez scott, did ya have to tell us she's married?? oh well, there's always michelle gallardo, on WLS-Channel 7.

I think she has a great personality, but her "Around Town" is pretty weak in content and tends to be redundant. Seriously, how many times can you go to a spa in the suburbs? I think there are plenty more interesting happenings/places in Chicago in any given week than what she presents. Slightly unrelated, I think Valerie Warner will probably make it big time too.

I'm with Jeff. I appreciate what she does but the loud raspy voice in the morning sometimes makes me feel more annoyed than anything...

She's attractive, but does she have to yell every single time she's on camera? I get that she's sometimes at noisy places, and that she wants to keep the energy up. But she yells constantly! I predict that she has a big future in broadcasting, however. I imagine she'll get grabbed by one of the big networks soon, or land something in prime time. She's very good at what she does, and seems to be the first (that I know of) crossover hispanic TV personalities - that is she speaks in english with a spanish accent, and doesn't try to overly anglicize herself. I think we'll be seeing more of this in the future.
