  1. Abby Hornacek is a wonderful addition to Fox. She has a relaxing and warm sounding voice that resonates your attention when she is talking. She is underused and under payed. Fox has a good reporter in her and needs to use her in a full time daily reporting position with a large raise or you might lose her to other networks that can see her potential.
