Mike Landess is leaving Channel 2 at the end of November sweeps

Anchor Mike Landess is leaving Colorado's Own Channel 2 at the end of the November sweeps period.  He described his departure at KWGN as bitter sweet  That’s due in part to the general tumult of the TV-news industry, which has seen local news ratings plummet across the board in recent years. But Landess had hoped that bumpiness wouldn’t extend to his job at KWGN.

No one knows who FOX31 & Colorado's Own Channel 2 personalities are, according to station research.

Our friends over at FTVLive report that on October 15th KDVR/KWGN GM Joan Barrett sent out a station wide e-mail informing on-air tallent to wear station gear so folks ask who they are.  Because research shows that most people don't know who the on-air tallent is at the two stations.

I Got to thinking about that and to be honest I could only name 4 of the on-air folks, primarily FOX31 people.
