Naming hottest women news anchors isn’t especially ground-breaking, but why does anyone need to cite originality as a reason to look at beautiful women? News anchors aren’t all average-looking, bland, on-air talent. It’s quite the opposite in many cases. Some of the most engaging and entertaining news anchors have amazing looks to match. From CNN to Fox News and MSNBC, the newsroom has a stable of hot anchors who make the most basic news stories that much more interesting. In honor of Olivia Munn’s role in HBO’s new show The Newsroom, which premiered tonight, we’ve rounded up The 10 Hottest Women News Anchors right now. Trust us, you won’t want to change the channel.
