With Rep. Chaka Fattah announcing he is running for mayor of Philadelphia, his wife, NBC 10 anchor Renee Chenault-Fattah, will remain at the anchor desk, despite a blatantly obvious conflict of interest.

Election night, NBC 10 had the best broadcast locally, supplying the right mix of live coverage, analysis and discussion, as seen on both its own newscast, and the one it produces for WPHL. Admittedly, Tim Lake seems like he should be hosting Good Day Tampa Bay or some late night infomercial rather than a newscast. Also, there is something disconcerting about Renee Chenault-Fattah anchoring election coverage, seeing as how her husband is U.S. Congressman Chakah Fattah.

And anyway these are only a few minor complaints about some informative and insightful coverage.
