Fox 4's Wacky New Owners

Fox 4’s new corporate masters appear to include a window shade and a cross-dresser.

A private-equity firm, Oak Hill Capital Partners, agreed to buy WDAF-TV and seven other stations from News Corp. last month. Fox 4 will be managed by Local TV LLC, Oak Hill’s “television platform.”

On Wednesday morning, the “about us” section of Local TV’s Web site featured a most unusual trio of executives, pictured above. An image of anchor-desk-worthy CEO Bobby Lawrence was flanked by a window shade and a manning-looking CFO named Pam Taylor. Some IT wise ass, it appears, removed the real Pam Taylor’s face and replaced it with Lawrence’s. The site looks like press stills from a desperate sitcom episode in which one of the male characters is visited by a sister or mother portrayed by the actor in drag.

A message left with Local TV’s press contact was not immediately returned.

Brother and sister cannot be identical twins. Perhaps they are identical twins, one wears a wig.

Does anyone else notice the resemblance between "Bobby Lawrence in Drag" and Fox-4 personality Lauren Halifax? They could be sisters.

That isn't a photo-shopped photo of Pam Taylor. She's actually the identical twin sister of Bobby Lawrence and has had to endure years of taunts and ridicule for being the "less attractive" sibling because she looks just like her brother in drag. Pam has rejected all thoughts of plastic surgery that might have made her look less like her boyishly handsome brother, since she's proud of her looks and her heart and soul. If you really knew Pam, you would love her for all the kind things she does for people. Bobby, on the other hand, is a self-centered turd.
