Christina Erne is a meteorologist and a journalist at News 10, Albany's ABC/FOX affiliate.

Oftentimes, anchors are required to ad lib when technology fails or another anchor needs help. An entertainment anchor must be able to speak well on television, but also must be able to speak without using a script and still sound cohesive. The candidate should describe their experience ad libbing and how they could fill in during an emergency.

"I belive I am such a good fit for this job because I am able to speak cohesively and confidently without a script. In the event that the prompter fails or an anchor tosses to me early, I will be able to speak as if nothing went wrong."
