Another Name Change for Local News Anchor
This time, it’s her first name.
  SHREVEPORT (AF) — Associated FreeNews says local news anchor/reporter Sherri Talley is changing her name again. “I can’t stop,” says Talley.Â
The change, effective immediately, will involve Talley’s first name. “I really like the name Julie. I had a babysitter by that name once and I work with a real nice girl named Julie,” says Talley.Â
When approached about the name change, the second this year for Talley, station management was unaware of the action. “We try to encourage our employees to embrace change and Miss Talley Allen Jones …uh, Smith is leading the way with that.”Â
The changes have been excellent for the Shreveport economy. Some 150 jobs have been added to the station in an effort to keep up with the changes.Â
New positions include graphics personnel to regularly change the superimposed images on the screen, an internet team will be put in place with the sole purpose of locating new urls as the names change and some six aids will accompany Ms. Talley to the news set nightly in an effort to help her remember which name to say on the air.  Â

Well, you can’t say “B#^@h Talley” on the air, so I guess we’ll just have to keep using that around the station.

Hey, I know…middle name, Donna…first name, Prima! That has a nice ring to it.
April 1st, 2008 at 3:11 pm
…did you get arrested AGAIN?
April 1st, 2008 at 3:15 pm
HRB, I’m following your lead, even though you aren’t a Republican, and I’m trying out some new digits. Do you like my BR549?
April 1st, 2008 at 3:23 pm
name change?!?!?!? WTF? now i gotta have all my tattoos changed too. i wont be able to wear underwear for a week.
April 1st, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Sherri - I don’t like Julie….why not change it to Pinky-Allen Talley. Or Mally Allen-Talley. Or, what about Mallen Allen????? Or forget it…maybe you should just try a new name every week!!!

Once again, the added workload on the promotions department is overlooked.

Why isn’t the name “Ethel” used anymore?
April 1st, 2008 at 4:51 pm
if your name wasn’t sherri then no one would confuse you with the one that has been arrested and soon to be arrested again. Just stick with your middle name Ann
April 1st, 2008 at 5:09 pm
Change your name to Ann Coulter

I think Julie Sherri Talley needs to move to Miami or somewhere where is hot all the time. All I hear from you is about how you’re glad the warm weather is here or how nice it was outside when the temp was downright hot. Obviously, you don’t even like barely mild winters and want it hot and humid all the time. Move to Florida. The fact is we never have a winter here and the summers are horrible at best.

Start at the beginning……..with EVE and go from there.
April 1st, 2008 at 5:46 pm
I think Mable has a nice ring to it!
April 1st, 2008 at 6:09 pm
can we just call ya Sista?
April 1st, 2008 at 7:02 pm
How bout Hazel and Jimmy’s momma?????
April 1st, 2008 at 9:00 pm
cpbBR549 is an excellent choice. I considered it, but it wasn’t random enough. Julie Sherri Talley has some sort of werid illiteration going on.
April 1st, 2008 at 9:28 pm
I’m all for a symbol. We could just call you ‘the anchor formerly known as sherri allen and sherri talley.’
How about #? We could just put that symbol over your face every night at 5 & 10pm. I like it!!!
April 1st, 2008 at 10:10 pm
Yes, Chris!!! Put it over her face!!! That’s an awesome idea!!!!
April 1st, 2008 at 10:31 pm
U must have some sort of record………a possible .gov thing; OH No UR on TV.. not a good hiding place, thus change names……..a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 1st, 2008 at 11:26 pm
…I still can’t believe you got arrested AGAIN!
April 2nd, 2008 at 2:01 am
Sherri…you should change your name to the Riddler instead, b/c trying to figure out what your name is from week to week is one big riddle.
April 2nd, 2008 at 10:12 am
new name should be 10PM 4 LIFE
April 2nd, 2008 at 5:04 pm
I think you should let viewers vote on your new name.
(Love BR549, used to watch that show with my grandparents, that and Lawrence Welk. Does anyone remember Bobby and Cissy?)
April 2nd, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Mel, I remember Bobby and Cissy! Who was the guy with the accordian. Myron? Can’t remember his last name. I’d google it but I’m the laziest human living.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:27 am
Mel-OMG! I used to watch those shows with my grandparents, too! Saturday nights were hopping around Plain Dealing! It depended on which set of grandparents I was visiting, as to which show we watched. I’m a pickin’…
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:29 am
p.s. Mel, you might also know me through my alter ego ‘cbp’ I thought PoL was appropriate because of today’s topic. I told Sherri I might start changing my name each day to reflect the theme. What do you think?
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:12 am
Sometimes I change my name when I want to say something nasty.
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:26 am
To what, Miss Jackson?
April 3rd, 2008 at 10:20 am
And there was the guy who always sang “My Wild Irish Rose!”
And then on “Hee Haw” I always loved the small town “Sa-Lute.”
My friend Lisa works at the tv station in Nashville where “Hee Haw” was taped. I visited there…..cool!

I think Lawrence Welk said it best when he said “and a one and a two and a……..”
LOVE the clips! Great times with the grandparents in Jonesboro/Hodge!
April 4th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
Haaaaaaaaa!
April 5th, 2008 at 11:14 am
His name way Myron Floren and was a great musician. Accordions are hard to play~~
April 5th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
Myron was the man.
We (Suzie, HRB, CT and I) used to sit around and think of things we could do to get on the Lawrence Welk show. If any of you deny this, I will reveal your secret talents.
July 3rd, 2008 at 10:19 pm
Well some like this way, Buy I think you should consider the another side of the toppic too. Thanks
