Best TV News Personality 

Dana Wright, KCTV Channel 5

Dana Wright enlivens Channel 5's newscasts with her on-air intensity. She'll practically crawl under a hedge for a story about a woman with too many cats; recently, in a report on the potential of terrorist attacks on area water supplies (don't worry -- we're safe), she knelt down and put her face right up next to a testing vial -- the moment was arty if not downright sexy. Her often wind-mussed hair shows she's been out in the field working hard, and, when the news is particularly bad, she knows to roll her eyes and clench her jaw in righteous indignation. And every time she brusquely calls co-anchors Dave Helling and Dee Williams "guys," she gives the news a gritty urgency.
