Savannah and Hoda the first female hosting duo on Today

In Boston, WCVB the ABC affiliate became the first Boston station I think to post an all woman team for a news broadcast, Antoinette Antonio and Erika Tarantal with meteorologist Cindy Fitzgibbon. Even the fillins are women, Emily Riemer and meteorologist Kelly Ann Cicalese.

NBC 10 posted the first anchor team that was together on one station WCVB then on another, NBC10, JC Monahan and Phil Lipof. Phil jumped ship from WCVB followed by JC a few months later.

Gotta agree with sparty on this. This was TV history in the making.

Who said increasing the representation of women in the media industry wasn't a good thing?

Sandra Smith... no one else even close

Erin Andrews even though the decade started not in a great way for her still dealing with that :censor

. She did Dancing With The Stars and she did well there (finished 3rd) and ended up hosting with Tom Bergeron to finish the decade along with her duties for Fox Sports on the first Fox NFL TV team.

Courtney Friel on being over 10 years being sober.

Laura Rutledge went from covering pro teams for local/regional FS Networks to be one of the rising stars on ESPN. Molly McGrath from again covering the Celtics to being hired on FS1 and being the first person to be on-air when it started to now being on the sidelines on Thursday night college games for ESPN which the same spot Erin Andrews, Sam Ponder, and Laura Rutledge had. Also she hosted Battlebots. Sam Ponder (still believe should have kept her maiden name on the air) went from college football sidelines to now hosting the ESPN NFL Pregame show. Also the MLB ladies with Heidi Watney starting covering the Red Sox for NESN to being on the MLB Network for her 8th season (that we know of). Plus, she the reason why Matt Damon character in The Martian was named Watney. Lauren Shehadi who actually started the decade nationally with CBS Sports College Network (now just CBSSN) and on her 9th season on MLB Network. Cari Champion started on the Tennis Channel and now one of the biggest stars of ESPN and hosted the Titan Games. Kristine Leahy though her show ended a few days before the decade ended.

Sage Steele can be mentioned as well as Shannon Spake, who left ESPN to be the host of NASCAR Now on Fox Sports 1. Shannon also leads in the pre-race coverage during the first half of the Nascar racing schedule from the Daytona 500 until late June.

Joining CNN in 2011 Erin had a great start on Outfront and remains a constant in prime time. Changing sets 3 different times and still managing to have a great show. While also taking maternity leave 3 separate times, Erin came back looking great each time. 2014 & 2015 are just 2 years that really stand out.

Her career did not slump, rather the opposite actually. Plus she got married too.

From the other side of the Atlantic, Victoria Fritz on the BBC came from nowhere to be one of the most stunning British anchors of the last decade.

It was an interesting part of the decade for her when she got hired by Al-Jazeera. I think she wanted to go national like her former co-worker Anna Kooiman who was on Fox News. Though when Morgan got there on day one, she didn't like what she going on and left and returned to Charlotte.

Started out on ABC straight after college then she went to Al-Jazeera America and now she's had a stable gig at NBC news for the past 4/5 years and is now engaged.
