i agree bjohnston (and my initials aren't even BJ) - she was really the high point of KRLD for me (it sure ain't Ernie & ... ?Jay), she's fantastic and i think it's really a coup for KERA to have gotten her

You are both correct (bjohnston and Teresa G)....BJ is among a vanishing breed of Dallas reporters for whom the term broadcast journalist is not an oxymoron.
