Michelle Davidson, co-host of the new local morning show “Kansas City Live,” is featured in the current edition of “Her Kansas City” magazine, a publication designed to portray women in a positive light.
The show is on from 10-11 a.m. on KSHB and made its debut in August.
“Thanks to a background in TV reporting, Davidson is used to the excitement and the occasional awkwardness inherent to live programming,” wrote Crystal K. Wiebe about the “30-something” actress, mother, screenwriter and broadcast journalist.”
“Michelle brings a wealth of experience and ideas to Kansas City Live,” says producer Stephanie Liebergen. “From news to film, each element of her past makes her a well-rounded person and brings a unique quality to her on-camera personality.”
Wiebe explains the dynamics between Davidson and her co-host.
“In the tradition of nationally broadcast morning shows, Kansas City Live depends on the openness of and interplay between its co-hosts. Michael Mackie is the Regis Philbin to Davidson’s Kelly Ripa. With a beard and close crop as white-blond as her shoulder-length mane, Mackie could pass as her brother. Mackie’s persona is slightly impish but not too snarky. Davidson comes off as the stylish, funny, suburban mom she is.”
Davidson met her co-host where they worked on a commercial together.
“The film community is where Davidson initially met her Kansas City Live co-host,” notes Wiebe. “Mackie and Davidson worked on a commercial together a couple of years ago. As a performer and collaborator, she says they had chemistry from the start.”
“It’s a positive for Kansas City to have a show that lets the city shine and the people of KC shine,” she says. “I hope people will grow to see the awesome potential of the show.”
NOT AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION
I don’t believe this article described the hosts very accurate.
I attempted to watch this show as I was excited about a local talk show. I have been a Kansas Citian for 52 years and am proud of our beautiful city.
This show is not a positive reflection and I can only hope out of towners don’t accidentally stumble upon it while visiting our area.
This gal is not very genuine, at least she does not come across that way on my tv screen.
PREPPY WANNABES
Try working with them. If you have migraines dont come near. Fake preppy wannabees who overdose on caffeine. He is more concerned about his social life,men, eating and name dropping. She has kids but we wonder how she can spend anytime with them because she would rather be running around emceeing dog and pony events. The entire dynamics of everything at KSHB has changed since the show. People lost their spaces,embarrassment,irritableness and I could go on but why.
