  1. And David Novarro was in this morning for Ken (not sure if David did the noon also).. Which explains why he's not on at 4pm today.
  2. I can't believe the number of posts there are already speculating what Liz Cho and WABC *might* do if it's true that Cho's husband Josh Elliot *might* join FOX Sports and *might* have to move to California because his new job *might* be based in Los Angeles and Liz *might* move there, too. Maybe we should wait to hear first where Josh ends up and then wonder if Liz *might* move anywhere?
  3. She was freelancing for WABC, not a full time EWN reporter.
  4. I wouldn't trust anything published on the TunedIn NYC blog unless it's cut and pasted from a press release or a reputable source. Nearly all the stories are either anti-WPIX stories and/or stories attributed to unnamed sources.
  5. I watched that and I'm glad he did it. We often think of analytical journalism as commentary and something that should be reserved for cable news hosts - but it should be done more often on serious topics like this and it's great to have it done by an experienced and authoritative person like Tom Brokaw. The most trusted man in America, Walter Cronkite, famously changed the country's perception of the Vietnam war with his editorial at the end of a CBS News special broadcast. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=106775685
  6. Eyewitness News at 5 will expand to Saturdays once college football ends. Ch. 7 made it official in their November sweeps press release. http://abc7ny.com/entertainment/wabc-tv-is-most-watched-in-new-york-and-the-nation/1105848/
  7. It's just an update to their promos for syndicated and local community programming. It's been like that since September.
  8. This morning's show was great!! What a huge accomplishment by the Good Morning America team. It was wonderful seeing that entire group of anchors, weather forecasters, news readers and even medical contributors sitting together!
  9. Agreed 100%. One of my favorite anchors at ABC. He did a superb job of leading World News Tonight out of some tough times and back to stability and even to #1 for a brief time. It looks like he is enjoying retirement and good for him - he deserves it!
  10. They tried this already from 2004 thru 2013. It was called ABC News Now. It started as a digital sub channel, was met with resistance by affiliates, never got full cable carriage, transitioned to online only then folded into abcnews.com. The air space went to Fusion.
  11. Yes! He was a candidate mentioned to be part of Good Morning America when Charlie left for WNT. Do you remember when he anchored Good Morning America Sunday wayyyy back before the show even had a full weekend team?
  12. The opening music has been pretty inconsistent all week and way too toned down today and yesterday. Anyone else watching/noticing?
  13. After watching Good Morning America each day, and replaying the opening compared to previous opens, I have to agree that the new theme music is a downgrade. The new graphics and the toned-down more serious feel of the show are big improvements. The theme music, however, is really underwhelming.
  14. Third time's a charm! Sounds like they used that part at 0:47 this morning and it worked well!
  15. The open this morning was much better.. but I wish they would use the actual part of the opening music that sounds like it is meant to be the audio for the opening sequence. Take a listen and pay attention around 0:47. http://www.networknewsmusic.com/wp/good-morning-america-2015-theme/
  16. I've noticed this shift, too, and I'm happy they're going in this direction. The fluff/pop news really got out of hand. Going into a presidential election year, it's a smart move to re-focus on the news... .and also a bit sad that there needs to be a re-focus on the news!
  17. Love the new look and music! Although I'll always be find of the previous look - I really liked how they were creative in basing those graphics and even the anchor desk off of their studio's exterior.
  18. Haha yes.. They also showed clips of a very opinionated news broadcast on a fictional "20th Century News" network. Those shots were shot inside what appeared to be a real news studio, I'm just not sure which one. The New York Post is also the paper of record in this show...Which is ironic considering many of its actual newspaper stories are also fictional.
  19. WABC must have a good friend high up at ABC Entertainment. There Goes That News Van Again... This time in last week's "Quantico".
  20. Probably because he and Ben Sherwood have patched things up.. And also because Ben has bigger things to worry about that Good Morning America and ABC News.
  21. I was a BIG fan of the original WB11 Morning News team. Watched them every morning from their debut until a few months after Lynn White was let go. Then I switched back to Good Morning America.
  22. Josh Elliot and Sam Champion will return to Good Morning America on November 19 as part of the show's 40th anniversary celebration. A promo for the celebration that began airing today features every former host, including Elliot and Champion. A press release from ABC News says David Hartman, Joan Lunden, Charles Gibson and Diane Sawyer will also be back.
  23. They used WABC last year, too, for a story taking place in New York. What's funny is that in this most recent episode, the WABC news segment (logo, graphics and all) was supposedly watched live by characters in multiple cities including Atlanta and Nashville. So I guess WABC has become the default TV station for every city in the fictional "Nashville" storyline.
  24. WABC took the rare step Wednesday of pushing back by 13 minutes the start of Jimmy Kimmel so they could stay on the air until the Mets won the NLCS Penant to advance to the World Series. The 11pm team ad libbed for about 5 minutes starting at 11:34 until the Mets officially won at 11:39. Eyewitness News stayed on air until 11:48 covering the reaction in throughout the city and in Chicago. Jimmy Kimmel aired in full once the news signed off.
