  1. No. How it launched is how it will remain.
  2. Temporary, as in they basically pasted the new logo animation over the end of this season's winter opens. With spring coming up quick, what debuted Tuesday won't last long. No talent faces are coming. Status quo and familiar is the plan. Sorry if my wording suggested otherwise.
  3. And Alex Cheney is apparently gone? I couldn't tell you when, but when I saw her post, I checked to see that his bio was gone off the website.
  4. 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.
  5. As discussed in the ABC graphics thread and on our TheNewsCenter Discord, someone at WPVI simply cued up the new open, by mistake, for only one of the Sunday morning hours. Nothing has technically debuted, but the FULL rollout should be later this week.
  6. Talking (speculating) about station GROUP pick-ups is fine, but we don't (aren't) going to do this for INDIVIDUAL stations. We'll find out in 3-6 months.
  7. I broke off all the CBS talk into its own thread. There wasn't a clean break, so there may still be some of that here from late last year, but the soap and CBS talk continues here... https://forums.tvnewstalk.net/topic/20889-the-future-of-cbs-daytime/
  8. I've split this discussion off from the NBC News Daily thread, as it veered way off course to the CBS discussion.
  9. If D was doing everything from 4pm on, I think they would possibly opt for a platoon option at midday, but leaving the 5 vacant suggests that SOMEBODY will get a full-time weekday assignment. I'm assuming that it'll be Janssen, Joyce & Donovan until they make an announcement, but I don't think there's any rush. Semi-related, I never knew they made a sports anchorless 5pm talent rejoin after Dan retired. It's obviously now out of date, but it was just Micah, Ray, Tom & Shannon. I don't like not declaring a sports anchor at the evening hours, but whatever. I hate that they can't officially name JP to the 9. Having a declared sports anchor at 4, but carrying a rotation on all the other shows is so weird.
  10. Joelle Garguilo and Michael Gargiulo's last names are spelled differently, so no.
  11. "This is what I mean." We know what the set looks like. Screenshots don't prove your point.
  12. No idea about ratings, but Lyons is a stabilizer. WBBM is competently-staffed, and puts out a quality, if little-watched product. As a viewer and news junkie, that's as important as building the ratings. As for WGN, they didn't miss a beat. They're in the WLS club of Don't Actively F#ck It Up & You'll Do Great.
  13. By 2009, Rob Johnson was anchoring evenings solo, and ratings were rising. That fall, Bill was brought in to shoot some promos and feature some of his cold case investigations. At some point, Walter returned to do his commentaries. In November '09, Rob was off, and the station heavily promoted a one night only reunion of the legends on the 10pm news. It was well-received, and they were installed as 6pm co-anchors by September of 2010. Once their contracts ran out in (I think) February '13, they were "retired." Given a full farewell, but it wasn't really their choice.
  14. Boy, it's been a long time since we had someone start a good old fashioned list thread.
