By adamg - 1/14/11 - 7:17 amJessica Heslam at the Herald reports on NECN's impending makeover, which features all new talent (see ya, R.D.) and a "more conversational" morning news show featuring a "living room set" and a co-anchor who once straightened her naturally curly hair to see if people preferred women with curly or straight hair.
Meanwhile, Masshole Mommy dishes on her huge crush on Channel 4 morning guy David Wade:

Ed note: The final NECN morning show may look a bit different from the video above.
