As I had mentioned - certainly Nothing groundbreaking or even much different than 3K. updated technology. Use of LED panels as opposed to duratrans screens, but basically still the same look in a smaller space
-
So the telemundo side of 3B doesn’t debut until next year.
-
There was an issue with lighting. Got pushed back a week. Next week now.
-
Studio debut on Tuesday
-
It’s legit a smaller version of what they are using now - just with a couple of additional stand-up areas. Let’s put it this way - the changes that WABC makes to the studio for the 10am show on a daily basis are more substantial than what I’ve seen coming to WNBC.
-
Don’t expect anything earth shattering. it’s smaller than 3K that they are in now. Essentially, think of 3B but with curved walls. Same style lucite desk. Same blue Peacocks all over. if I didn’t know it was a different studio; I wouldn’t have guessed.
-
Nope. The current mornings at 10 music isn’t part of the larger redesign.
-
Should have definitely been Michelle for this show. Would have truly set it apart. Shirleen is stiff and has always come across as fake. Put Michelle in that chair, you have a show that would actually be a true NY version of “Live”. Sam brings years of hosting experience and is solid in his role. Don’t forget that before he moved to GMA, he would often fill-in for Regis on LIVE.
-
New graphics and music package are coming soon - no new set though. That will be when the move to Hudson Square is complete.

Heather is wfh

Actually I believe CBS was #1 at 11. In the 80s. NBC was in early 90s. WABC gained dominance when they picked up Oprah. 5pm on WABC was the newscast in NY. They started to win at 11 in the late 90s and AM when Lori Stokes joined. Since 2000 it’s been a virtual landslide.
-
Moving David to mornings was actually the original plan - team him with Shirleen - AM and noon, Bill and Liz at 4 and 6 and Mike and Sade at 5 and 11 - but that has since been passed on. Bill not too keen to give up 11 permanently until after the 2024 election cycle. however, talk as of late has Mike moving to 5pm in the interim. After 2024, Bill staying on at 6pm only.
-
No. That would be Mike Marza. When expect Mike to be on weeknights by the fall. Not completely replacing him - just alleviating some of the load.
-
Jim Rosenfield, formerly of WCBS and WNBC - most recently of WCAU was in the building today. Not that it necessarily means anything - but he did a test with Shirleen.

Listen guys - I said Ken was fired for cause. What he said wasn’t right. It’s a disgusting word to use, let alone call someone. what I said was that SA has been the same person for 20 years. She is not the nicest person. She knows how to be fake. If she doesn’t feel like she can gain something from you - she’s not very friendly.
