Due to a mets game airing in San Francisco from 9:30-12:30, there is no late edition of news scheduled for after the game. I think this has happened before on WNYW where they didn't air news after very late games ending after midnight?
Surprised they didn’t opt to do a newscast at 9 instead of a pregame.

I’m loving the red on the website. Please keep it even if you do migrate back to the old domain.

I believe the reason was the coverage of the attacks in Tel Aviv. WABC already pulls its main anchors to anchor at 11pm when there is something urgent happening. (I've already seen Mike Marza with Chanteé Lans, Sandra teaming up again with Joe Torres and in the new year, there was Liz Cho)
Seems so as Pedro was on at 6 by himself. As much as I admire Bill and as hard of a worker as he is, he should’ve not been brought in, as he was too close to the story, and it showed. On Saturday they were doing a story on how Trump was using the situation to fundraise, and Bill added in his own commentary. And I say this as someone who is not a fan of Trump.

Brittany did Sat AM and Lee did Sat PM. Jeff did AM and PM on Sunday. I’m assuming it’s because Dani and Jeff did a lot of heavy lifting during the week while Lee and Brittany were covering the eclipse, and those two got a break when they returned.
They really should bring in another meteorologist full time - perhaps Raegan Medgie.
Lee - 5,6,11
Jeff - Noon, 4
Brittany - Mornings, 10am
Dani - Weekend Evenings
Raegan - Weekend Mornings
Sam could continue as a features anchor on weekday mornings and 10am as his schedule permits and do some of the weather hits.

When was the last time Sam Champion was on EWN This Morning? He’s been on GMA as a 6th host since early March with Brittany and Dani handling 4:30-7am. Not sure if he’s been on 10am but when I’ve tuned in it’s typically Dani.
It seems that Sam makes his own schedule.
On another note, Bill and Pedro co-anchored Saturday at 11pm with Lee doing weather.

Surprised this thread doesn’t already exist. Seems like they named a successor for Kate Snow. I like the pick.

Curious if 6 just plans on using rotating anchors for Saturday mornings and keeping Nydia solo on Sunday mornings. It’s been just over two years since Gray was promoted to 10pm.

Buried at the end of the article is that CBS tried to secure “Judy Justice” to replace “The Talk”. I’m thinking “The Talk” is not long for this world.

Not sure when this happened, but Alyana Gomez’s name is now part of the morning (4am-7am) open. I assume she’s taking on a “feature anchor” type role.

With Dana Tyler's time at CBS2 coming to a close. Hopefully this isn't goodbye for Dana, assuming she decides to show up at one of the competing NYC stations (NBC4, FOX5, ABC7, or PIX11) for I believe she's got a few more years left in reporting news. Wishing Dana all the best.
None of those places have weekday openings. WABC has not replaced Sandra on weekends, and I’m not convinced they’re going to.
I’m probably in the minority here, but what has she done in all those years to move the needle at WCBS? She hasn’t always seemed like the easiest to work with. I’m fairly confident her anchoring days are done. Regardless of my thoughts on her, she’s had a long career with the same employer and many accomplishments, she should enjoy retirement. No matter how great of a career, there’s no need for people to be anchoring into their 80s (I’m looking at you Chuck).

Our inside source says it'll be a few weeks before the ticker and set screens get switched over. Heck, the new opens are temporary, since they're still the winter ones.
Will we get pics of the anchors in the opens?

The Saturday morning news was hosted by Tim McNichols and Jennifer Bisram
Dave Carlin and Jennifer Bisram today, although Dave’s Instagram indicates he’s filling in for Doug.

Bill Ritter doing the Sunday 11pm news tonight. He wasn't on at 6. Can't be because of high viewership, since ABC didn't have the Super Bowl. I'm assuming that WCBS will have their regular weekday crew when their news finally comes on (update - they are).
Who did the 6pm?

Marza filled in at 11pm a few weeks ago. Sandra is doing 5 and 11pm as Sade’s fill in, with Lauren anchoring at noon. I’d guess David will join Sandra on Fridays at 11pm until Sade returns.
Pedro Rivera debuted on the weekend morning news today.
Is Bill no longer doing Fridays at 11pm?

I'm surprised they're not keeping Toni Yates with Michelle. I thought they were a great pair.
Or at least moving Michelle or Toni to weekend evenings to be with Joe.

Amy Robach and TJ Holmes have inked a podcast and content deal with iHeartMedia. It's unclear if Robach is still in discussions to join NewsNation.

And apparently their exes have bonded over this and are dating each other.

I thought that Dateline moved to the NBC O&O in LA? I didn't know it was still on the Fox O&O MyNet TV in LA.
It’s part of MyNetTV’s network primetime lineup. The NBC O&Os have it as part of their daytime syndication package.

So today Hazel did all of Tamsen's slots (4/5/6/6:30), and Arrianee, Kori, and Shirley all did their usual slots. I'm sure next few weeks may be random try outs before a decision is made.
Ben Aaron is a thought for the 4pm but I do worry he would lack serious news experience in events of breaking news . Marysol Castro may be a better pick if they wanted to go that direction or keep it an all women show...
I would certainly think Shirley would be in the mix for some of the shows.

Does anyone know what time he first appears on the morning news?
Not sure. I was more wondering if he’s got the “feature” part down too well not to come across as “newsy” enough, but otherwise think he’d be a great addition.

I wonder if Ben Aaron would be an option for 4pm.

I’m curious to what everyone’s general thoughts are about Tom Negovan? He was at WGN for a long time and I always thought he was one of their best. Surprised to see him as a freelance weekend reporter for WABC.
Obviously this current set up could be his preference.
Have they decided on Marza’s replacement? I feel like he’d be a good fit along Michelle.

WPVI is definitely not the same format. It is a more straightforward though lighter newscast. Headlines and all that, and a good amount of feature-ish content—consumer news, trending/social media content, etc. No separate desk, or that kind of thing. The producer is one who helped shape their 4 pm, and she’s brought a similar (not identical) feel to 10 am.
Good vibe among the presenters, and they’ve managed to work in the weekend morning meteorologist who typically handles Wednesdays at noon for one weather segment the last couple of Wednesdays.
I’m not sure they have a clear rotation at noon yet. It’s usually Brittney and Chris with Adam thrown in here and there.
5 hours ago, MediaZone4K said:Broken record but...I think stations should get away from morning news anchors having to do the noon because of that long stretch of hours, working from about 3:30 am to 1pm ish.
If anything:
TEAM A 4:30-7, GMA cut ins, 10am
TEAM B: Noon, 4, 6
TEAM C : 5 & 11pm.
B at Noon, 5
C at 4,6,11
that would give both those teams two hours of airtime.

Talent opens scrapped and no mention of Shirleen at noon would seem to confirm this.
Seems reasonable that she wouldn’t do 4:30-7, GMA cut ins, 10am and noon too.
Seems like a good opportunity to rotate Sandra and Michelle in that role permanently. Otherwise adding it to Liz’s duties makes the most sense.

Mike anchored the 4:30am half hour solo today. I wonder if Shirleen got stuck in traffic!
