Where is Michelle Tuzee? She’s been gone most of the summer.

Does David Muir even anchor WNT anymore? I watch KABC’s 6pm show and switch over to NBC Nightly News at 6:30. I always chuckle because the anchors “toss” it to David Muir who seems to rarely be there and WNT at 6:30 is really a rebroadcast, so I’m always surprised they don’t seem to know whose in the anchor chair or not. NNN ends sooner than WNT and I flip it back to KABC to watch Jeopardy. I caught the closing of WNT and Llamas said he’d be back again tomorrow. And I agree with above, WNT’s story preview at the top is waaaaay too long.

Dave was back on KCAL tonight, serving “political analyst.” I know he was in during the special coverage of the DNC at 7 and was just in for a segment at 9. Pat Harvey mentioned he’ll be back again throughout the week. Good to see him back.

Reporter Gene Kang says he too was laid off from NBC.

Alex Cheney finally wore a new outfit this morning! He subbed in a gray suit in place of the tired blue pants and black blazer that he’s been wearing exclusively for months. Hope there’s more added to the lineup!

I feel like the CBS duopoly is the weakest newsroom in the market with KTTV just behind them. Other than Fritz’s recent “retirement” KNBC has been pretty stable. Most of the anchors at KABC have been there for a very long time, I hope they’re all able to stay around a bit longer. As to @Roadrunner’s points above: 1. It does seem as though Phillip was pushed off the morning show, but when he’s solo anchored the midday show, sometimes for two hours straight, I feel like he’s proven he’s top notch. I never watched Eyewitness News on weekday mornings, but, from the lineup, it does seem like a chick fest. As for Jovanna, I’m glad she’s finally got the weekends off again. Regarding their new reporting roles, they’re fronting a series of reports called “ABC7 Solutions,” which in my opinion are a step above GA reporting. From the few I’ve seen, most feel like a same day package pieced by a producer; a couple have felt like some real time and work went into them. What surprises me the most about their new role is how long their at the station. They anchor the 11 am show, and sometimes are reporting at 6 pm. I feel like that would be annoying as they’re pretty anchor heavy in the evenings with Colleen, David, Ellen, Marc and Michelle. Surprisingly Jovanna has been filling in for Ellen at 4 this week; generally Colleen would. 2. When it was announced Fritz was leaving KNBC, I wondered how much longer will Dallas be around? I feel like Danny would get Dallas’ spot, and it seems logical that he would, but something about him is annoying; I really like Jonathan Novack; he’s a meteorologist, funny and a sharp dresser. As I mentioned above, I don’t watch Eyewitness News weekday mornings, mostly because their traffic report sucks. I can’t believe they still don’t have a dedicated traffic reporter in the mornings; Scott’s hits in Air 7 don’t cut it at all. KTLA and Ginger Chan offer a much more comprehensive report. I forgot about Leslie Lopez. If she’s the weekday morning weatherwoman, is Brianna (great on the eyes btw) the traffic reporter?! I wonder what the lineup will be if/when Leslie comes back. Speaking of coming back, what’s the deal with Kimi Evans? She hasn’t been on the air in months, like easily six months. I feel like I previously read something about a medical leave. I’m not complaining because I always found her annoying af, but she was a lot better than Alex; speaking of whom, has anyone noticed he wears the same mis-matched suit every. single. day. Black jacket, blue pants (with some kind of stain - iron/heat or otherwise on his upper left thigh) white shirt and tie - he at least rotates the tie. I almost feel like, in an effort to save money, once Dallas leaves, blow it all up. Put a three-day forecast up as their going to commercial and call it a day. We all have phones, no one gives af about the almanac, we all know there’s generally coastal fog/marine layer in the morning, warmer in the afternoons; the IE and Valleys are about 10-15 degrees warmer than the basin; dry and hot. This isn’t Midwest or South with deadly tornados, nor’easters, tropical storms, etc moving in. Maybe a seasonal forecaster January to April? Even Fritz said it on his way out, just look at your weather app haha.

Happy trails! https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2020/06/23/cbs2-kcal9-reporter-randy-paige/

WOF used to tape in Burbank? Thought they were always in Culver City with Jeopardy

The la board isn’t as organized as Chicago

Legendary Television Broadcaster Fritz Coleman Retiring From NBC4 After Nearly Forty Years https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/legendary-television-broadcaster-fritz-coleman-retiring-from-nbc4-after-nearly-forty-years/2381619/

Wow wow wow. What’s going over there?! https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2020/6/17/breaking-kcbs-loses-another-big-name

He’ll definitely be missed. It was cool to see the competition leaving nice messages on his twitter feed as well.

After 43 years at CBS, Dave is calling it a career at the end of this month. https://mobile.twitter.com/cbsladavelopez/status/1271880575314362368

CBSLA needs to get someone in that helicopter for their portion at night. Their coverage of pursuits suck. Last night one of the anchors said the suspect was going south when he was in fact on an east/west freeway. Then another fool said the guy was in Orange County when he was at the 91/710 interchange. They’re a joke rn.

Chelsea Hunt (fka Chelsea Edwards), formerly of KABC TV, announced she’s joining KTTV/Fox LA https://www.instagram.com/p/CBRbkNjFqLY/?igshid=wku1povhulqu
