  1. Two good news for NY1, chief meteorologist John Davitt is celebrating 30 years forecasting at the station. 

    Plus, afternoon anchor Ruschell Boone is returning to the anchor chair tomorrow after spending the last 9 months on medical leave for pancreatic cancer.

    Why don't they know the name of their own meteorologist? Because he's being beamed in from somewhere else maybe?

     

    His name is not Rich Ward

     

    His name is Rich Wirdzek.

     

    He used to be on WHIO, not sure where he is coming from today.

     

    That is one ugly and dated logo. They really do need to do something else.

    Rich Wirdzek is the chief meteorologist at WMDT.

    Looks like WABC has ended social distancing with anchors like all other stations and is back to having their anchors in “pre-pandemic” seating 

    This was taken during today’s 6pm show. Liz mentioned they gone back to normal seating in 3 years. Plus, Dani Beckstrom (the meteorologist on the right) said this is the first time she has seen Liz Cho’s face up close.

    WNYW currently has "Good Day Street Talk" hosted by Antwan Lewis, airing Sundays at 6:30AM. To date, both WNBC and WXTV Univision 41 are the only NYC-area stations without a weekend AM political/current affairs show. 

    WNBC used to have a current affairs show called "The Debrief with David Ushery."

    I'm curious if there's any way to fix the colors of the clock with a chroma key effect. I'm guessing it would be difficult/impossible with the selection of colors being displayed on that clock.

    I forgot to take a picture, but in the 2nd half the clock background was changed to black with blue lettering.

    I’m surprised they didn’t have a custom engraved KCAL logo for the desk and use a plain metal sheet instead to cover the CBS2 logo or at least upgrade the anchor desk to a monitor screen like WCBS and KPIX has. 
     

    Then again KCBS was the first to debut this look so everything is still original.

    WCBS used to cover their engraved logo during WLNY’s newscasts from 2017-20. This pic was taken in 2017.

    They have 5pm & 11pm weekday talent opens but stopped running them many years ago as a way save time and retain viewers during the transition from the 4pm to 5pm news and from prime time to the 11pm news.  
     

    They did bring back the 5pm talent open for one week in September 2019 as a nod to Diana Williams who was retiring that week. 
     

    Plus the 5 & 11 o’clock newscasts tend to be move faster than the other shows since they don’t banter with weather before or after the forecast since COVID.

    To date, the only news programming on My9 is the Sunday "New Jersey Now" political show. At least with 10/55, CBS does have both the 9pm newscast and the weekly "Exit 10/55" political show. If FCC hadn't dispensed the "Main Studio" rule, that could've prevented the stations moving elsewhere

    Exit 10/55 hasn’t aired since Richard Rose retired and moved to the Philippines in 2018.
