Two local developments of note


Hugh Laurie of Fox's House and Shannon Hori of CBS11.

Fox4 has found a onetime home for House after Tuesday's episode was mostly preempted by tornado warning coverage.

That hour will air in its entirety on Thursday (April 5) at 10:30 p.m. following Fox4's latenight newscast.

Much earlier in the broadcast day, CBS11 morning anchor Shannon Hori has decided to remain at the station until her three-year contract expires in July. That means she'll be in place for the May "sweeps" ratings period, where Hori will team with the newly hired Scott Sams.

As first reported by unclebarky.com, Hori wants to spend appreciably more time with her husband, whose business is in Sarasota, Fla. Efforts to transfer the business to North Texas have not worked out.

"It's going to be a challenge to replace her," CBS11 president and general manager Steve Mauldin said in an interview. "She's a great talent."

Hori joined CBS11 in 2004 from WESH-TV in Orlando, Fla.
