Action Newsroom

Aw, heck. Thank you.

He did; I'm just pointing it out for example.

It is mostly, but I would like to mention, as an exception, that WCAU's "Chief" Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz is on at 11am and 4pm (along with 6pm, which of course is where "Chiefs" are usually seen on-air), while Sheena Parveen is on at 5 and 11pm, so it doesn't happen everywhere. (that is only one exception I can think of though.)

This week's morning show ratings came in, and CTM has been growing again. How much? Enough to finally reach Today! CTM was up +29 percent in the demo and up +17 among total viewers compared to the same week last year, the only morning show to grow in these two categories, putting it in its closest competition with Today in 21 years. I'm 21 as of writing this; this is mind-boggling to me. It's still far from Today, but it's still a great thing. Here's the article from TVNewser: http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/morning-show-ratings-week-of-may-25-3/264016 I hope they reach second sometime, because they deserve it. We need an actual morning news program get the ratings it deserves. (Oh and GMA is still #1 in viewers, and got the crown back in A25-54, but that's not important.)

^ Yeah when I read the articles, I honestly thought too, that the line "her first day at June 1" meant "she'll first appear on TV (probably in-studio)" and not "she'll first work at the station and get acquainted". I guess, even if I'm excited for a new hire of a station, I should still read between the lines. I'm sorry if I caused a panic at the moment. And for initially incorrectly spelling Lauren Glassberg's name.

Oh. Well, I'm going to apologize, regret what I wrote, call this all Speculatron-fodder, and hope we'll all pretend this didn't happen.

I meant by if this would be her last day, she would at least let viewers (at least unaware ones) know she is leaving the noon show to move up to evenings. At least to me; no big deal. And thanks for the mention of the correct name; it really slipped off my mind when I watched and first saw her. I honestly never knew about her before. I haven't watched Eyewitness News in a while. The name is now fixed.

VERY INTERESTING. If this was her last day, she would've been at the desk anchoring. But this is strange. Although, Lauren Glassberg is a really good fill-in.

From this video I watched from Monica Malpass' Facebook page, Kenneth Moton is heading to DC and ABC News, where he'll become a correspondent. https://www.facebook.com/6abcMonicaMalpass/videos/10153082564478001/ Best of luck to him on this big leap and his future endeavors.

I watched her final broadcast on WPHL. It was heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. Gosh I'll miss her in Philly, but I'm gonna enjoy her all the same in NYC.

I haven't watched the 4pm News much lately either, so I can't say much either. But I agree that she's not that great at just being "3rd Anchor Standing at the Big Board", but who knows? Maybe she would take over the hour with Brian and probably might be better than we thought. Or probably not. We Shall See...

Here is her message on Facebook: Leaving one extremely amazing and respected station for another. I wish her all the very best.

Such a sad occasion, but with a happy outcome. Shirleen Allicott is leaving WPVI for a job at the station's sister station WABC. Congrats to on the new get at Eyewitness News, and I'll miss her anchoring tenure on Action News. https://twitter.com/iPhillyChitChat/status/599290463565254656/photo/1

Majority? You mean of those who don't like it? Okay, because to me, it seems evenly-matched so far.

The font is amazing the use of colors and shapes is astonishing. Not to mention how beautifully awesome the 3D rendering of 30 Rock is. I agree. I wish the NBC NEWS insignia was under the peacock though. Probably not hard to add in after a while. I think this teaser and open is one of the best Today has ever had.

Here's a video a post on NewscastStudio (excuse the blurry, hand-holding picture):

Wow, that's a shock and so sudden. I feel sorry for the co-anchors and crew to find out this way, and now have to find jobs. Was a nice show too, from the times I've watched. It had a good run. This is a crock of bullcrap. But Judge Judy is popular and the #1 courtroom show in syndication. They need to fill in patches some way and this does seem logical. But even then the station does need to air other shows soon (and not other courtroom shows). Agreed. THIS x10

This looks like the In Living Color/Laramie logo being hatched. I agree that this shouldn't be used. It looks better for another network or maybe something else that this would fit with on this network. But it doesn't feel right for Nightly News; it's just so random. I mean, what's its purpose? "Home-grown video"? That's all I got.

Yes!! I loved and enjoyed it when he anchored the 5 and 10 with Tamsen Fadal back last year. I'm really going to enjoy his anchoring in the morning. I agree. He does has the energy and passion to carry a morning newscast ala Ukee Washington on KYW (who by the way, of course was a sports reporter back in the 90s). I think he'll do great.

Good luck to them. It's a painful experience nonetheless, but we can only hope for the best, especially after the shocking and sudden death of Lisa Colagrossi. Good luck, health and faith to Diana and her husband.

Has anyone noticed this recently: On the station's AN livestream, commercials that air on the station during newscasts air in the livestream, instead of a still image or clip that says "6abc WILL BE RIGHT BACK". I first saw this this morning and thought this was odd. Has this begun a little longer than that? What are you guys' thoughts?

I don't think you are--at least halfway. Since the official logo isn't shown, there is a chance something is going on at the Alphabet's graphics department. But,,, Usually in some promos for the national evening news programs. the logo is different from what's official and shown on your screen. So it's okay to assume that, but for now, I think it's very unlikely.

If you guys haven't been following the PIX Engineers twitter page (like me, apparently) for the past several days, then you've been missing out on this: [twitter]pix11tech/status/571126037616205824[/twitter] and this: [twitter]pix11tech/status/571144359204265984[/twitter] (which looks really nice) and most especially, this: [twitter]pix11tech/status/571444520241528832[/twitter] The new newsroom is complete and ready for business!!

And another thing: I wish they planned on expanding the news to 11am and weekend mornings again. They are doing much better lately, and it would be great to expand, when the time is right.
