Courtney Friel Makes Her Return to Red Eye

Courtney Friel made her return to FNC's Red Eye early Wednesday morning.

When asked by Andy Levy how she lost her baby weight, she replied, "Lots of Ab News."

It's nice to see the lovely Courtney back in action.

The Women of TV News Cover the Kentucky Derby

The 2011 Kentucky Derby is tomorrow, and some of the women of TV news are in Louisville, Kentucky, to cover the event. And as the caps below show, they brought their big hats-a Kentucky Derby tradition-with them.

FNC's Courtney Friel was reporting from Churchill Downs in a floral-print dress and white hat.

The Weather Channel's Stephanie Abrams was also there, but sporting a much more subdued wardrobe than Courtney:  A pink ensemble and a black hat.

Whether their fashion is gaudy or muted, the ladies of TV news will be sure to impress in Kentucky.
