Antwan Lewis moving to Weekend Evenings

This, in my overanalyzing opinion, appears to mean one of two things.

 

One, it means that Christina Park is out the door shortly. The two anchor weekend format never lasts at WNYW.

Two, Christina Park is on her way to be the official GDEC/GDWU anchor, along with another male.

 

WNYW needs to get GDEC/GDWU sorted out, it has actually become obnoxious.

 

Tai, Steve, Heather N, Juliet, Antwan, Kerry .... All have been on regularly over the passed year. Only Steve and Heather N were "official"

 

I do not believe that Juliet is permanent. WNYW has updated their Bio page meticulously with all of the changes, including already labeling Antwan as "Weekend Anchor".... and since she still have no bio, my suspicion is pinged... leading me to make my statement about Christina.

While that makes sense I don't know if it'll happen like that.. They are trying to work Christina up to be lead anchor (I think)and shed go further being on weekend evenings then early mornings. And I think they'd rather use Kerry Drew as a morning anchor for now. But I guess we'll see what happens. Who knows maybe they just want two weekend people?

I see what you are saying, I think Christina is a phenomenal news personality. She can present the breaking news seriously and can show personality, as well. She would be a great lead anchor.

Where do you see her being put if they are working her up? I dont see Dari, unfortunately, going anywhere and absolutely not Rosanna. You think they'd put A Female/Female pair at 5 when Ernie retires?

 

 

I just hope Christina stays at WNYW. However, it appears like the people who do the subbing (as Christina does) are all overlooked and eventually leave. (Tai Hernandez)... I really hope the same is not true for Christina.

 

 

All I know is this movement on the early morning is annoying.

Personally, I'd love to see Teresa Priolo on the early slot - she was great last week.

Maybe they could have Ernie and Dari at 5:00 then Christina and Steve at 6:00 and 10:00 like you said its highly unlikely that Dari would be demoted but Christina and Steve have worked together before and they're excellent.

Good for Antwan, although I have to wonder what could be in Christina's future. Hopefully a higher profile position on weekdays, because she is excellent.

 

I hope by pulling Antwan of temp duties at GDWU this means they have a plan that will be put in place. If their going to fill internally, it's going to have to be two females, which I think is possible. Otherwise, the hire will have to be external (a la Steve Lacy.)

In theory I like this. But like you said, unlikely they'd demote Dari. Plus her chemistry with Ernie is non-existent.

To me this whole thing is very fishy... I am going to be very upset if Christina winds up leaving WNYW. I really love her newscasts. She is a superb news personality.

 

I just dont see where they could possibly put her so that she would be more high profile, unless they demote Dari, which they should. Everyone works better with Christina... Maybe Fox will demote her to only 5pm?!

 

Good Day Wake Up and Early Call is a sheer annoyance at this point. Juliet is hard to watch at this point, I havent been able to warm up to her.

I see them looking to fill internally with 2 females. (Teresa Priolo, maybe its just my wishful thinking, but it seems like they are hyping her to go into an anchor chair)

Juliet has some high profile friends at News Corp, including Bill O'Reilly. However it's telling they haven't made her permanent at WNYW yet. I believe she is "on loan." I could see a Priolo/Drew or a Priolo/Park combo on GDWU, although I see Park as more of a hard news person.

Fox5Fan, I completely disagree with you. Listening to Teresa Piolo is akin to listening to nails being dragged across a chalkboard. As for Juliet Huddy, you are inthe minority. Most people that watch Fox News and Fox5 like her very much, which is why she keeps getting work.

1) Someone tweeted Christina Park, and she confirmed she is pregnant - possible reason for Antwan Lewis' switch to weekends? Hopefully she comes back after the baby, or Ill be very upset

 

2) http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/jonathan-betz-leaving-dallas-for-new-york-city_b91568 ... Im hoping this guy wont be a WNYW for GDEC and GDWU, I watched a few of his videos... He is most certainly no Steve Lacy or Antwan Lewis

 

3) KMD511 - I think WNYW as a whole does not like Juliet Huddy, If they did like her, she would have been named the official coanchor of GDWU and GDEC, she has not. She has high up friends at Fox, but quite frankly, beyond these high up friends, it doesn't appear as though anyone likes her. Also, check out the FB fro GDNY, theres a lot of JH hate on there.... As for Teresa Priolo, I think she is popular with WNYW management. She is only a freelancer and they have her at the desk over a lot of other people. I'm hoping to see her there permanently.

 

4) Stacey Delikat is too stiff and comes across as better than thou... hard to watch her and Juliet.
