Mary Jo Perino
With it being Monday, we pick back up our Media Approval Ratings feature, this week with the local TV sports anchors.
We’ll start with WLEX-TV’s Mary Jo Perino, who is on her second stint with the local NBC affiliate. Mary Jo came to Lexington in 2002, left for a short stint at CNN, then returned to WLEX where she is the sports anchor.
So what say you on Mary Jo, thumbs-up or thumbs-down?
