AM Anchor (4/8)

  1. The one thing I find most surprising is that they had Charlie Van Dyke record an intro for the new 10am show that debuted a few weeks ago.
  2. Over the past few months, I noticed KYW-TV phasing out "Eyewitness News" in favor of "CBS News Philadelphia". It was very gradual, but now it seems like the Eyewitness News name is completely gone after nearly 60 years. The news opens I saw last week said "This is CBS News Philadelphia". As recently as last month, the news desk still said "Eyewitness News".
  3. On the noon show, it's been Alyana Gomez co-anchoring with Sarah Bloomquist yesterday and today. No indication of whether this is a tryout like they've been doing on Saturday mornings or this is the station's permanent arrangement. I believe Sarah has been solo since Brian left to do the 6pm show. If Alyana is indeed getting an anchor slot, good for her! She does very well filling in. And it would fit in their tradition of an all-female team at noon starting with Lisa Thomas-Laury and Chris Wagner, who then anchored with Robin Garrison, who then anchored with Monica Malpass. UPDATE: 1/5/23 Jillian Mele co-anchored with Sarah today. Looks like they will be trying people out on the noon show.
  4. I don't think I've ever seen anybody solo anchor the 5pm program. Ever.
  5. Did anybody see the segment on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver "What In God's Name Are They Covering On WCBS News At 11?"
  6. Brian Taff just announced that Sharrie Williams will be his co-anchor at 4pm and 10pm. [MEDIA=twitter]643515560576352256[/MEDIA]
  7. Lisa Thomas-Laury has just revealed that she has been off the air for the past several months undergoing a second bone marrow transplant. https://www.facebook.com/6abcLisaThomasLaury?fref=photo When she made her second return from her illness in 2006, she became the primary backup up at 5pm, for Jim Gardner at 6/11pm, and for Rob Jennings on the weekends. I was disappointed to less of her on the air in recent times, but I guess that's because of her health situation. Wishing her the very best!
  8. It's how KTLA utilizes weekend talent 3 days a week for the midday shows. Their weekend morning weather anchor is on Monday and Tuesday, and their weekend evening meteorologist is on Wednesday through Friday.
  9. Ladies and gentlemen, WPVI's Cap Cities style open, before the happy people montages were introduced. This comes from the mid 70s!! http://www.new.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=43352834151
