Dorothy Krysiuk Is Leaving Fox 29!
By Wyatt Earp | October 26, 2008
This is not happening. THIS IS NOT HAPPENING!
As regular readers can tell you, Dorothy is the traffic gal on the local FOXNews affiliate. She’s dreamy, and I love her. (Figuratively, of course – I’m not a stalker.) There is no one in the tri-state area that is a bigger fan of hers than I. And that is why I am depressed today.
According to industry sources, the traffic jam between Dorothy Krysiuk and Fox29 was over hours, as management wanted Krysiuk to add the 5 p.m. show to her day. Krysiuk is the traffic person for “Good Day Philadelphia,” which begins at 5 a.m.
Other traffic reporters such as John Ogden of NBC10 and Bob Kelly of CBS3 work the morning and evening shifts.
Krysiuk did not immediately return an email and Fox29 also did not respond to a previous email about why Krysiuk was leaving the station.
Krysiuk, a Temple University graduate worked for Fox29 since 2001, and before that was on Channel 10. (H/T – Laura Nachman by way of RT)
As terrific as it would be to see Dorothy once every twelve hours, I can’t condemn her for not wanting to do both shows. (Of course, I couldn’t condemn her if she came on this blog and told me my writing made her violently ill. This is Dorothy we’re talking about!) Putting in a 12+ hour workday would be terrible for her hair that resembles spun gold, her alabaster skin, and her sunny disposition.
Sources are saying that Dorothy wants to “take a break from television,” and will not be signing on with another outlet. You thought I was grumpy and miserable in the mornings now? Wait until you see me without my daily dose of Dorothy!
Somewhere, the other angels are crying.

Testify! I am making the move to ABC on November 1st. And sir – i think you have a rival fan.
October 26th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Robert – Yeah, there won’t be any reason to watch Phily’s FOX News anymore.
October 27th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
Wow. She is lovely. I know what you mean. Something about a beautiful woman with a winning smile just makes it easier to start the day. I’m a fan of Hedline News’ Robin Meade myself. Maybe she can be your surrogate?
November 7th, 2008 at 7:57 am
I missed it. Did they at least give her a nice send off? Any goodbye make ir to Youtube?
November 7th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
Darn,
I miss her already
November 12th, 2008 at 12:18 am
I’m glad that I emailed her when I did and told her that she was the only reason I watched fox in the morning. Since she’s left I don’t think I’ve watched. She actually responded to the email as well in the same day which surprised me but just goes to show you how her beauty isn’t just skin deep. Everybody will miss her.
November 14th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
I am just crushed, the only reason i watched fox news
November 14th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
Woody – She is by far my favorite news babe . . . ever!
Dan – That I do not know. I was in the hospital on her last day. A sad day, indeed.
Bob – There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t miss seeing her lovely visage. A true loss to the Philadelphia news community.
Scott – Everyone I know who has had the chance to met her say she is truly a warm, wonderful person.
Marty – Me, too.
November 17th, 2008 at 9:19 am
I looked tuned into Fox every weekday just to see Dorothy pretty blonde curls and great smile. I already miss her traffic reports. No more Fox for me!
November 21st, 2008 at 6:52 am
I miss Dorothy! And then there’s her replacement – ugh. My sleepy ears first thought she might be a man – but then I saw her and now I’m. well…not entirely convinced otherwise. Annoying voice, annoying clothes, annoying banter.
Did I mention I miss Dorothy?
November 21st, 2008 at 4:35 pm
She was my husband’s favorite and I thought she was really funny and sweet. The new girl is annoying
November 24th, 2008 at 7:55 am
I had not got the news. I kept checking in on Monday morning to see if she was back from vacation. I am making the switch. Although I enjoy Sue Serio, I tuned into to watch Dorothy. She was cheerful and pleasant every morning. Will miss her.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:11 am
I can only hope Dorothy will resurface on another network. —– IDIOTS!!!!!!!
November 25th, 2008 at 10:34 am
I am thinking about going back to Channel 6 also. I wondered if she was on vaction but after the 2nd week I thought something was up. BIG BUSINESS SUCKS. I hope everyone stops watching Fox. She was the best. She should go on another station and take all of her followers along with her.
November 26th, 2008 at 8:29 am
NOOOOOOOOOO! I can’t believe it. I absolutely hate the new girl. My mornings are ruined.
November 26th, 2008 at 8:59 am
She was my buddy!!! I miss her.
November 26th, 2008 at 9:47 am
I’ve been wondering where she was and decided to check out the myfoxphilly website. I had a sinking feeling when she wasn’t listed among the station’s personalities. I like Sue also, but watched for Dorothy. Dorothy – please consider signing with another station, WE MISS YOU!
November 26th, 2008 at 9:47 am
I still turn on the news in in morning and hope its all a bad dream and Dorthy will still be on fox 29 .Damn I miss her .
Barry
November 26th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
I too, Dave, thought that she was on vacation and I said something to my wife after two weeks and she said that “remember the time she was out for a while due to her back, perhaps its that again” but I would not believe it and then I found this website and many more like it.
FOX really screwed up! I have been reading hundreds of posts like this and there are a LOT of very unhappy people. FOX can add one more viewer to the GONE LIST; I ‘m gonna go check out Robin Meade.
I hope Dorothy does not wait too long to come back, the other local networks should see these posts and they might realize that Dorothy would be a large draw.
Good Luck Dorothy. Thank You for the many mornings of memories!

Dorothy’s leaving? That’s it. No reason to stick with Fox….unless Michelle Buckman considers doing traffic or anything that gives her more exposure on air. Dorothy-I miss you already.
November 27th, 2008 at 12:12 am
I think it’s safe to say that I am not the only one who misses Dorothy. For those of you who are interested in her whereabouts, I wish I could oblige you. the fact of the matter is that she left Fox 29 and has not signed on with another station . . . yet. Hopefully, she’ll come back, and come back to a Philly station.
November 27th, 2008 at 1:09 am
Dorothy was the most attractive, smart, confident, and tender person ever to be on a local news cast show. I think the FOX network is only thinking about their wallets. Because it they were not, they would see all of the intangibles that she brings to the table. I loved to watch her from my cold bed and begin to re-generated my morning by her smile. I would dream about her long flowing hair and picture a warm summers day with a cool summer night ahead. This woman is mystifying to the detective and persuasive to the introvert. She is smart and funny and will likely land on her feet. Of all of the things that I will miss most…will be her sweet pretty face.
November 27th, 2008 at 8:05 am
I too missed Dorothy, and will continue to do so.
Just want to wish her well.
I am not as offended by Jamie as everyone else is, she is new and hope she will grow on every one she seems like a nice lady.
Good luck Dorothy
November 28th, 2008 at 6:40 am
If you watch for the traffic reports and not just to look at DK you’ll notice that Jamie is far BETTER! She can actually read the prompter without tripping over every other word and does the reports with some enthusiasm. I like her.
November 28th, 2008 at 11:28 am

Phil,
you must be a woman to not get THE BIG PICTURE. Dorothy’s voice and personality was a gigantic ray of sunshine every morning. If I wanted to see someone read copy of a prompter I’d tuned in to Channel 17 months ago.
November 28th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
Daryl,
You got that right. Or maybe Phil’s gay…
November 28th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
No reason to watch fox 29 in the morning now.
November 29th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Dorothy,
It’s been a Great Ride!! Thanks for the wonderful Memories.

December 1st, 2008 at 6:59 am
I am really trying to give the new girl a chance. But. I really have to say that she cannot even minutely compare to Dorothy. She is so cute with a beautiful personality, face and awesome little body!! I miss you so much Dorothy!!!!
December 1st, 2008 at 8:53 am
Well I don’t normally care, but I have to admit that it has been enjoyable watching Dorothy do the morning traffic each morning. Very pleasant voice and demeanor, quite attractive both physically and, to whatever extent one can tell on television, in her personality. It’s a shame to see her leave. But undoubtedly, she will be moving on to something better for her and that will open new doors for her. I have no doubt that she will continue to be successful. Good luck, Dorothy!
Side note: Saw the new traffic “person” this morning; small body, large head, and a voice that is absolutely grating. Not trying to be unkind; that’s just my opinion. Ciao.
December 2nd, 2008 at 11:35 am
I’d hit it
December 3rd, 2008 at 1:50 pm
I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT YOU’S LET DORTHY SLIP AWAY LIKE YOU’S DID. I HOPE ANOTHER BROADCAST PICKS HER UP. IF THEY DO, I’LL BE THERE BACKING HER ALL THE WAY. SHAME ON YOU. HEARTBREAKER
December 3rd, 2008 at 1:53 pm
THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH JAMIE S. BUT SHE’S NO DORHTY.
December 3rd, 2008 at 4:47 pm
I really liked Dorothy ,too and think she had a great rapport with Sue and everyone else.
I loved George Mallet and cannot believe they let him get
away!
I think anyone who tries to replace Dorothy will have a tough time winning over an audience.
December 4th, 2008 at 5:23 am
The new traffic person is TERRIBLE! What an awful, grating, nasal, annoying voice. I thought Dorothy was adorable and very easy on the eyes…something of a budding superstar in Philadelphia. I have wondered why she never seemed to move higher on the Philadelphia media food chain but it seems from this story, she’s not a career churner and burner. Good for her. Seems like she has balance.
December 4th, 2008 at 7:42 am
I too am an animal lover and the new um ” I will miss “Hot Dot” but the ” new um, “Gelfllng” seems pleasant enough. If she wears more revealing clothes I might hang on but . But please cover that face with a Dorothy mask.
December 4th, 2008 at 7:47 am
I am so glad that I found out about Dorothy leaving Fox. She and Sue were the reason I watched. Now I don’t have to watch anymore waiting for her to come back and wondering what happened to her. I put on Fox everyday to see if she was back yet. That new girl is annoying, because she is not Dorothy
December 4th, 2008 at 10:59 am
You are really missed in the morning, always tuned into see you do the traffic.
December 5th, 2008 at 6:36 am
Fox had a winner there and I don’t think they will realize that she was worth running late to work. I think we all need to go watch Connie Cola, she is almost as personable as Dorothy.
December 5th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
I just found out she left. I was wondering where she was on the morning show me and my husband were like where is Dorothy? My 2 year old when she was a baby would cry alot in the morning and as soon as I would put Dorothy on she would stop we all loved her she will be missed!
December 7th, 2008 at 11:19 am
Very sad to hear she has left Fox. I enjoyed her personality as well as her GREAT looks. Please tell me if she takes another job, so i can tune in and enjoy her again.
December 8th, 2008 at 7:36 am
I, too, am very disappointed to find out that Dorothy has left Fox. Kept tuning in, hoping she was just on vacation, got suspicious, and now come to find out she is gone. She was great and I will miss her. She and Sue had a great rapport. Good for her though that she was not pushed into doing something she did not want to do.
December 8th, 2008 at 8:19 am
can’t blame DK for not wanting to work 14 hr days….i’m sure none of the fox mgmt does!! as for her “stuart little” look-alike sound-alike replacemnt….i hope she has a short contract!
December 8th, 2008 at 8:39 am
I can’t believe they let her go! Looks like it’s KYW1060 for my traffiic report from now on. Also, another channel for my morning and afternoon news!
December 8th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
So sorry to see Dorothy go.Will not be watching GMP as much now.See is not only gorgeous but she is very good at what she does.Her good humor and personality will be missed!
December 9th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
This totally blows. I was hoping it was a really long vacation break…but apparently not. Boooo
December 10th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Well now I know what happened to my Polish Doll. Shame on you Fox . . . you work the heck out of those people!
December 10th, 2008 at 6:13 pm
I’ve been checking in every morning hoping that Dorothy would be back to brighten my morning. My morning commute is always the same…422 west bound backed up from 23 but seeing Dorothybefore leaving for work made the drive bearable.
I decided to search the web…all hope is gone. What are they thinking at FOX29? Fox has cut its nose off to spit its face.
Dorothy, you will be missed. Good luck and good for you for taking a stand anainst corporate America.
December 11th, 2008 at 6:32 am
WOW-how stupid is fox We tune in for more than looks BESIDES her beauty DK’s personality was the best. When she left 10 we left also when she left 29 we left. WE WILL FIND DK AGAIN. FOX HAS MADE A DUMB MOVE.
December 11th, 2008 at 8:44 am
If it is possible for a person to actually fall in love with someone on TV whom they’ve never met…I did. Dorothy was my only reason for watching FOX news in the morning. She has the most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen…and that voice…I could listen to her all day.
I’ve switched to Morning Express with Robin Meade. I love you Dorothy and will miss seeing and hearing you every 15 min in the morning. Good luck with future ventures.
December 11th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
I miss Dorothy. The new girl doesn’t measure up. I loved the way Dorothy gave that beautiful blink of her eye before signing off. I loved her reports with the Fire Fighters, and what a great personality.
December 11th, 2008 at 10:37 pm
Why!?! Why!?! Why!?! I’ve been in-love with with her since 2004!!!! Why!?! Come back Dorothy! You and Kerri-lee are the best!
December 11th, 2008 at 11:23 pm
I agree with all the posts. Definitely an uplifting and cheery disposition. Furthermore, her interactions with others especially Sue Serio were so genuine. I truly felt like I was among family members. That’s something very special and doesn’t come across very often. Dorothy, I wish you well in you future endeavors, you’ll be missed.
December 12th, 2008 at 2:11 am
So glad to finally know what happened to Dorothy. We miss her, and as others have already said, find the replacement, Jamie annoying and grating. I think she is trying to hard to be bubbly and cute, and ends up rambling. Dorothy is a hard act to follow, and unfortunately Jamie will never be Dorothy. We also only watch Good Morning to see Sue Serio and Dorothy, and also George Mallet, who we miss too. Fox management just got greedy if its true they wanted Dorothy to do the evening traffic as well. So glad Dorothy had the good sense to “just say no”. If you see this Dorothy, good luck and be assured, if you do go to another Philly station, we’ll be joining you.
December 12th, 2008 at 6:09 am
I thought i was the only one who only viewed gdp for dorothy. I cant stand this show without her, and what is up with that half a retard Jen fredrick? she is like that annoying girl in highschool that was not pretty enough to date and is just too stupid to even be friends with. God why couldnt she have quit? Now that Dorothy is gone i hate gdp.
December 12th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
Dorothy is greatly missed everywhere, obviously!! Especially by the FEDEX crew who gathered everymorning in the breakroom to start their day right!! We were about to send a request to FOX to have Dorothy do FEDEX FRIDAYS…Im jealous of those fireguys who had the honor of having the beautiful Dorothy in their presence..haha!! Well goo djob FOX..ya’s made Dorothy click her heels ONE time…and she said “THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME” cause that’s where ya sent her!!! SHAME ON YA’S!! IF BEAUTY WERE A CRIME, DOROTHY WOULD BE DOIN TIME!! She will be missed!!
December 13th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
Dorothy was one of my favorites – bring her back Fox!!!!
December 14th, 2008 at 1:08 am
Now if only Buckman would take a hike! While she does fit right in with the rest of the Philadelphia media that have no morals or values she doesn’t have the talent to be on air. She should go work at her new Daddy-in-laws floundering “ski resort” and work with Dicky Jr.
December 15th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
Good for Dorothy sticking to her guns, those empty headed corporate bullies couldnt force her hand. Not only has she Charm and Beauty, and now she shines with Intelligence with her decision to leave. I too along with many miss that sparkling smile that actually made my mornings off to a nice start. Dorothy was a Firecracker……..now shes a Powder Keg!!!!! (Execs…..ch3, 6, 10 better get on the ball and sign her up, she’s guaranteed to bring up your ratings)
December 17th, 2008 at 8:33 am
I too, kept watching and waiting for Dorothy to return. The new girl is not bad, but I can’t watch her. I liked Dorothy’s personality and interaction with Sue. George Mallet was perfect! Why does Fox always ruin a good thing?
Looks like I’ll be listening to the radio in the morning.
December 17th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
Dear sweet Dorothy; We know. We know that when you looked at the camera, you ‘Saw’ us. We felt it.You became addicting. We fell in love with you. You cannot just quit. Your look, your smile, your whole persona, gave each of us an advantage every day before we left our home, and went to the factory to work for the man. bye babe.
December 17th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
WOW big mistake on fox. I switched stations but i still check everyday to see if she is back. Sucks for the loyal fans.
December 18th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Just heard that John Ogden is leaving NBC10. Can DK be his replacement?
December 22nd, 2008 at 8:09 am
I am an inveterate morning news surfer, so I have no loyalty to any one show, station, network, or anchor. But when I would click into Ch. 29 and see Dorothy Krysiuk, I would stop and savor the entire experience and know my day would be better for having seen her.
And only now I have just learned she is GONE! G_O_N_E!!! Pain! Misery! Agony and woe! And on my birthday too. (Sob!) But I take some comfort in knowing that others share my sadness and will miss her too.
Best of luck to you, Dorothy, whatever you may end up doing, and thanks for all the years of brightening my days. It helps just to know someone like you walks the earth.
December 22nd, 2008 at 9:07 pm
Sadly, I am yet another big DK fan. And for a long time on her previous station. For Fox not to resolve this, and not have the decency to respond to e mails that I sent them . . . guess what. . . they lost yet another viewer. Fox management: BAD DEC ISION!
December 23rd, 2008 at 7:56 am
I also miss Dorothy, I wish her good luck in what ever
she decides to do.
I think people need to give Jamie a fair chance.
She seems to be very personable and does a good job.
It must be difficult to look cute, perky and knowledeable
at 5 am in the morning..and then do the same great job
at 5 pm in the evening. (I hope she gets to take a nap during the day)
I don’t know if she is Dorothy’s permanent replacement, but I do think we need to give her a chance…like Jennapher Frederick… I think Jamie is her own person
who brings her own unique personality..and she is doing
a good job presenting traffic (a “boring” subject that requires a cute, personable touch) Give Jamie our support.. she didn’t make Dorothy leave…so give Jamie a chance.
December 25th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
A former viewer from the George & Kerri-Lee days who left when odd name Frederick got too much face time, I tuned in and saw the new face yesterday. Dorothy hooked me back on the old set when she worked with only head shots and the interaction with the camera was superb. Best to ya Dorothy. Saw the replacement, very average, but I think most replacements would – like a bicycle after owning a Harley.
December 26th, 2008 at 6:47 am
DK will be very missed!!!!! I hate to say this about anyone, but I find Jamie to be very annoying! I agree she is new and maybe her voice will get less annoying later on in her career. I wish her luck…but she needs to stop trying to hard!
December 26th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
I went to florida the first of November for a few weeks and when I got back she was gone. I too thought she had back problems again or was off on vacation for the thanksgiving holiday. I just surfed the net to find out she was GONE. that new girl is so annoying – she sounds like a bad cartoon. WHERE’S DOROTHY? If Sue goes that’s it for me and MY FOX PHILLY.
January 5th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
I really liked Dorothy….it was very refreshing to see her do the traffic every morning. I was in DC visiting my parents a few years ago, and their Fox affiliate traffic person is a beast…sorry DC. But, I really am going to miss Dorothy. I love everyone on GDP…John, Sheinelle, Sue…and even the new traffic girl is OK. I mean I remember she used to do fill-ins for Dorothy, when she was on vacation. Jamie has definitely stepped up her dress, make-up, & hair game, since becoming permanent on the station. I guess she realized she had to step up her image, if she wanted to be given a shot. I’m proud of Dorothy, though. Dorothy, bigger and better things are coming for you. Jamie, you are doing a great job so far…keep up the good work.
January 7th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
I too am sorry that Dorthy has left Fox29. Everything about her is beautiful, her hair, eyes, face, smile and that slow blink as she signed off said”here comes a kiss”.
I hope to see her back with more on camera time.
Tom
January 9th, 2009 at 7:27 am
I thought sue and dorothy had a great interaction with each other and I always looked forward to that. This new girl is just too immature and annoying. there will definitely be a hole in the news now.
January 9th, 2009 at 8:52 am
Add me to the fan-of-Dorothy roster. She was truly a ray of sunshine in the morning; I was even willing to endure Sue Serio’s grating prattle to get to Dorothy’s reports. I suspected something bad had happened, and have already stopped watching Fox in the morning – KYW for me from here on in.
Dorothy, wherever you are, thanks for thousands of smiles over the past few years, and best of luck to you.
January 10th, 2009 at 1:47 am
How come in the write up about Michelle Buckman getting married they never mentioned how or when she met her husband? Hmmmm
January 20th, 2009 at 1:59 am
Buckman referred to her new husband on the Preston and Steve show as good looking. If Mr Potato Head is good looking then yes, she would be correct.
January 20th, 2009 at 7:36 am
I finally had to google Dorothy to find out what the hell happened to her? I hope she’s coming back and soon! I would tune in even though I didn’t care about the traffic. I’d like to see her doing sports or maybe co-anchoring.
January 21st, 2009 at 6:12 pm
I am saddened that my dear Dorothy has had some trying times on Fox 29 news. I, like so many others, enjoyed watching her in the morning doing the traffic updates. I often told my wife that Dorothy had a very pleasent smile and always seemed to make my day a little brighter. She will be missed by me and others who feel the same as I. Fox would be smart to do what ever is necessary to bring her back in what ever capacity she agrees to. As for my relationship with fox news, I will boycott my veiwership until she is brought back.
January 26th, 2009 at 7:49 am
I too am saddened about Dorothy’s departure. But I can’t say I’m not surprised … this is the second time in a year FOX29 has let go a great morning personality. First it was Clayton who was replaced by the current John Anderson. Now it’s Dorothy. I’m back to watching NBC10 in the mornings. Not as stodgy.
January 27th, 2009 at 1:40 am
Let’s hope Buckman and that nails on a chalkboard voice is soon to follow.
January 29th, 2009 at 7:03 am
I love DK ,but she made a big mistake
January 30th, 2009 at 9:27 am
Thank you guys for this blog….I got up this morning and got sick and tired of wondering why this woman is doing the traffic and not Dorothy and what happened to her. Now that I know, I am just sick! I love Sue and I loved Dorothy. I wish her all the best. Fox isn’t the same without her.
January 30th, 2009 at 9:34 am
Robin – You’re very welcome. I have always been a huge Dorothy fan, and was dismayed when I saw that she left Fox29. Judging by the comments here, I was not alone.
January 30th, 2009 at 11:32 am
Yeah, like someone stated, I looked up the personalities on Fox and saw she wasn’t there. I thought she either got married or something or was sick….NOT THAT SHE LEFT!!! I loved her personality and her smiling face. I am a creature of habit and I despise change. I am sure the new traffic girl is ok, but I don’t like her. I want Dorothy back!
January 31st, 2009 at 6:25 pm
What can I possibly say that hasn’t been said already? Dorothy was the sweetest, cuteist, most adorable beauty Philadelphia broadcasting has ever seen. Needless to say, I no longer watch GDP.
If you’re reading this Dorothy, I wish you the best and, on behalf of my fellow love struck Philadelphians, I humbly ask, beg and plead with you to please grace us all with your lovely presence again soon.
February 10th, 2009 at 8:44 am
Ch29 blew it big time. Rather than offer Dottie a shot at replacing that mutant fishhead woman Jennaphr at the anchor desk, they try to tether her to the traffic post for 12 hrs. She was the only reason any male with a pulse even watches that cruddy show. Now it’s a worthless churning of pathetic egos and mindless chatter that tries to pass itself off as ‘news.’ Maybe that silly mad cow Sue Serio can do double duty, and replace that midget weasel who’s doing traffic now…..
February 10th, 2009 at 7:09 pm
Get down on your knees and beg her to come back! Dorothy was the best reason for tuning in. I won’t even bother looking anymore. Well, maybe just a little.
February 11th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
Thanks for all of the comments, guys and gals! It just goes to show what kind of following Dorothy had (and still has).
February 11th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
This new girl sounds like a nasal drip, possibly the size of her nose, she has no class! DK was in a world class all her own. Foxmanagement, you have made a grave error, she’ll be replaced by someone else but by that time you may have made enough mistaikes and miscues so as never be able to recover. The viewers are terminating your station in a methodical manner, easily said, you’re headed south!
February 13th, 2009 at 1:50 am
What about Michelle Buckman’s “Real Deal” segment? Doesn’t her plight to save the world by filling you with worthless knowlegde make it worth watching?
February 13th, 2009 at 8:38 am
that “fishhead woman Jennaphr” AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!!!! I thought I was the only one who thought she looked odd! YEAH! WHY COULDN’T THEY REPLACE HER WITH DOROTHY!?That is a good idea! I never liked Jennaphr (something about her eyes…) and the new traffic woman is just a total wash out. No pizzazz, her clothes are horrible and I don’t like her face…surely not the golden Sunshine Dorothy was!

I hope the higher-ups at Fox get to read some of this stuff above. It’s all soooo true. The new “girl” is just — well, she’s just no DK. Her voice has something very, very annoying to it. I hate looking at her too!! What a poor choice they made – both in letting Dorothy go and choosing this new grating-voice replacement. Also, someone should do something about her wardrobe !!!

Here it is March 1, 2009 and my husband and I are still missing Dot! My husband is a truck driver, and always looked forward to seeing and hear Dot’s cute way of saying her name and squinting her eyes at the same time! As she warned us to be CAREFULL! I my self enjoyed Dot and her caring ways on the air; especially when she gave her warnings when weather like this was going on!! Dorothy where ever you are I miss you, my husband misses you. FOX i can’t believe you let her go!! You know she has a bad back, Dot shouldn’t be working 12 + hours a day! No one should. Get her back, call her or something. Jaime’s Okay, but I miss Dorothy!! You guys better be glad you still have SUE & Shanelle! If not I would be watching; well you know some other station!!!
Missing Dorothy alot!
March 2nd, 2009 at 7:15 am
My husband & I thought she was either on vacation or taking a pregancy leave at first, but then realized that she was gone.
I found this website while searching for her name to try to locate her new broadcast. How disappointing to hear that she’s not signing on with another station.
I am as disappointed as I was when I realized that I could no longer watch WNEP Scranton’s Joe Snedeker from our apartment in Chester County. Dorothy & Sue Serio were the only contenders for personality in the area.
At least Sue Serio & John Anderson are still with Fox. That’s the only thing they still have going for them. The new girl doesn’t annoy us as much as she does some of you, but she’s just not Dorothy.
Jennaphr Frederick is (in my opinion) a bit ditzy, and Sheinelle Jones is pretty, but does not seem terribly bright. Steve Keeley is OK, but (sorry) a bit hard to look at. I don’t think it’s irreparable, but I don’t think he’d welcome our suggestions for improving his appearance.
Dorothy was our daily dose of sunshine- a bright spot in a dark world. We have actually been starting our mornings on a grumpier foot without her. I can’t blame her for not wanting to work the extra time, but I wish they’d found a way to compromise with her. Their ratings have likely suffered.
March 2nd, 2009 at 7:26 am
BTW- What kind of a name is Jennaphr, anyway?
As if there weren’t enough pseudo Valley-Girls out there named Jennifer, WE are priviledged enough to wind up with one who can’t even spell her own name correctly (or did someone think it was unique?)!
It must be the bleach/peroxide thinking.
March 4th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
I read that DK is going to be back on the air in the mornings sometime in May, but it didn’t say which station or whether she will be doing the traffic or something better.
March 5th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
Good traffic girls are hard to find, but DK was a great one. This new girl is drab, dull, no life at all. They’ve lost me as a viewer. On the other hand, on channel 10 is “J” girl, & she’s smokin’ hot! Now they have my viewership. I’m sure a multitude are hoping for a DK return.
March 12th, 2009 at 6:26 pm
I wish Dorothy would come back, or at least do something else on TV so it would be worth while watching! I too, was catching her act on Fox in the morning! And I mean every morning! There is just something about her that makes me melt. Yes , she is a hot babe and maybe she could do a calander. Yeh! I could see her all year long! It would be a sell-out. You calander guys better get on it. When the camera panned back and I could get a full view of her in heels, Smok’in hot for sure!!!! But what really got me was when she was done with the traffic and she signed off. That smile and as she closed her eyes and said I’m Dorothy Krysiuk! Wow! Weird or what? Hi Dorothy, I’m a great fan of yours Too! Please send me a picture!
March 16th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
Letting Dorothy go sounds like typical Murdock management style. She did an excellent job and had excellent rapport with Sue on lead in’s. I will not apologize for liking Jennipher Fredderick. These three people are the reason I watched GDP. It was fun to watch and exemplified the spirit of real Philadelphians. Unlike the other vanilla morning news shows.
March 17th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
Again, let me repeat my dismay for the absence of Dorothy. She was and still is a wonderful addition to morning shows across our great nation. It would be in fox’s best interest to try and solicit her return as soon as possible. If not, I will continue my boycott of this particular station and will look for another.
March 20th, 2009 at 11:00 am
I also miss Dorothy and have asked alot of people what happened to her. Now I know. She really was a bright spot in the early morning with her beautiful hair and smile. I hope for all of us she’ll show up on another show in the future. I might add I do love Sue Serio. Her smile and personality is a pleasure to watch. Between Sue & Dorothy, it was the perfect match. Now we only have one. I do feel sorry for Jamie. It’s not her fault she had such beautiful shoes to fill. I’m behind you Jamie..life goes on…
March 20th, 2009 at 7:57 pm
For me, while I did enjoy Dorothy’s segments, it was more about the information she provided and yes, she was very pleasant. Unfortunately, we have found ourselves quickly changing the channel to something else (anything else) when Jamie begins to speak. Her voice is very grating and not what one (or we) cares to hear in the wee hours. The reality is that most stations provide decent traffic reports, and we do thoroughly enjoy John, Chenelle(sp?), Jennaphyr, and Sue. It’s too bad that Jamie came on the heels of a popular reporter. I don’t feel she was given a fair chance by most. For us, however, we are more about the enjoyment of the morning broadcast in general, and Jamie’s voice just doesn’t appear to be quite “fit” for announcing. Changing the channel works, but all too often, we end up landing on an alternate channel and staying there.
April 3rd, 2009 at 11:47 pm
DK was nice to look at but that’s it. She was a stiff. She has this “snobbish” attitude about her. Jamie on the other hand is growing on me. The more I see her, the liitle more she looks better. But her personality is SO much better than DK.
Perfect example, when DK did firehouse friday and was playing pool at the station .. she looked so out of her element. awkward even. Jamie is enjoyable and seems very down to earth.
April 4th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
If Jamie is growing on you, you must be a frog! Get real and smell the oj, and learn to spell!
April 5th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
There is a short piece in 4/5/09 (Sunday) Phila. Inquirer
Section B page 2…
“Expect to see the face of Dorothy Krysiuk, whose decade
doing TV traffic reports ended in October at Fox29. She has signed a promotional deal with West German BMW in Fort Washington, says Bob Cesarini, the dealership’s general manager…..”
April 6th, 2009 at 9:15 am
Dorothy was the light of the show. Now that she is gone from Fox, she will become someone else’s blessing. Fox 29 leans liberal, so suffice it to say, there is no reason to watch anymore.
April 8th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
ever since she left I stopped watching fox I had to go to jury duty one time and I thought I was going to miss seeing her on tv but when I was leaving court she was filming a promo for the station and I got to meet her she is the sweetest and most beautiful woman I ever met
April 30th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
I keep checking to see where Dorothy may show up. That smile in the morning was the way to get my day started. Come back somewhere Dorothy. We miss you.
May 5th, 2009 at 12:45 am
Maybe it’s like dopamine or something that my brain will never naturally produce again. I’m Drew and I’ve been Dorothy-free for 7 months. I am powerless over this woman’s beauty!
May 5th, 2009 at 8:23 am
Still missing her and still looking to see where she will turn up. Hoping it will be soon.
May 20th, 2009 at 7:01 am
What I want to know is – Is Jamie required to work the 12+ hours that they wanted Dorothy to work????
I think it was about the money………
May 20th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Jamie’s a dork. . . . this viewer’s gone forever.
May 22nd, 2009 at 2:16 am
could be worse, Buckman could have replaced her
June 5th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Maybe she will come to Cleveland? All of ours are ugly or old.
July 29th, 2009 at 7:28 am
What a mistake Fox made when they let Dorothy go…and her replacement is absolutely horrible-she must be related to one of the producers of the show because her face could stop a clock and her voice sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard. Besides that – who is dressing that girl? She is thin as a pencil, so it should be easy to get some stylish clothing on that frame.Her hair looks like she forgot to curl it – don’t they have hairstylists on the show anymore??? It is certainly a far cry from Dorothy’s curly do! At least Fox was smart enough to bring Mike Jerrick back-maybe that will help.

WTF has anyone heard anything new about Dorthy???
November 19th, 2009 at 8:15 am
First of all Dorothy would NOT have worked a 12 or 14 hour dayas some of you have posted. Traffic reporters/anchors work a SPLIT shift meaning a few hours in the morning (4-5 hours) and a few hours in the evening (2-3 hours). Total hours worked is generally 7-8 hours, sometimes a lot less! Not bad considering she makes 6 figures and doesn’t have to work hard! Anyway I think Dorothy is awesome, a great tv personality. She’s actually a genuine, nice, down to earth person. I miss seeing her on air! Thank God Jamie is off air on Fox! Jamie looks like a rat and has a squeaky voice. When I watch her I want to gauge my eyes out!
November 21st, 2009 at 12:46 pm
But Buckman’s voice is any better? How is her segment still going? Is it me or is Fox 29 more of a soap opera rather than a legitimate news source? It seems to be more about their on air “talent” than the news. And they have such stand up personalities too.
December 11th, 2009 at 8:21 am
I miss her she unlike the rest of the fox team she was a real Philadelphian and it was Fox’s lost more so then hers.
March 2nd, 2010 at 9:55 pm
UGH….glad for your site, I was wondering what happened to Dorothy. She was the best! If you hear of her resurfacing let me know!!! I too am a big fan….
April 28th, 2010 at 6:01 am
At last I found out what happen.I just look for the day that she is back on the air. There
is nothing else too say. The fans said it all. Good luck.
June 2nd, 2010 at 6:29 am
Dorothy is now doing the traffic reports on WCVB-5 (ABC) in Boston.

[...] her mornings doing traffic on Good Day Philadelphia, and judging by the response I received when I posted about her leaving the station – currently at 14,000+ views and 106 comments – I would say plenty of people like her [...]
June 2nd, 2010 at 12:39 pm
Masshole – Thank you very much! I’ll post an update tomorrow morning!
June 2nd, 2010 at 12:41 pm
At least she didn’t go to MSDNC.
June 8th, 2010 at 7:38 am
Dorothy..Welcome to Boston’s Channel 5..WCVB-TV.
August 17th, 2010 at 11:48 pm
Na na na na na na …Boston’s WCVB Channel 5 EyeOpener News won the Dorothy Krysiuk sweepstakes and hse has been brightening our traffic reports since June 2010. Scwiiiiing!
August 31st, 2010 at 10:28 am

Buckman finally gone!!!! She had so many of you fooled! Not me! She’s anything but “The Real Deal.”
