WABC was nice enough today to post the 9/11/2002 roundtable featuring Michelle Charlesworth, Jeff Rossen, Anthony Johnson, Joe Torres, Nina Pineda, Glenn Mayrose and two other photographers. http://abc7ny.com/video-eyewitness-news-roundtable-on-09-11-02/291417/

I assume it was due diligence posting
-
To quote the Nostalgia critic, "the first human representation of blandness, Steve Guttenberg." That should be an interesting honeymoon.
-
Maybe in another parallel dimension.
-
Weird stuff like that happens. Liz Cho and Ken Rosato had their first time during Shirleen's maternity leave. They made light of that.
-
We have had a bunch of days off lately. David and Diana are both off this week. Sade has been in and out this week. So things have been a bit wacko.

Greg Hurst, former WABC anchor who left KHOU in March, has reappeared at WREG, the Tribune station in Memphis. https://twitter.com/GregHurstWREG

It's not unheard of that he does non-political stories. Doesn't do many, but there wasn't much political news this morning until Spicer resigned.
-
WABC has had the job listing up for a while. I wonder if they just want a 3rd person.
-
Marcus Solis' piece on the heat today talking about the 1977 blackout on July 13-14. Larry Kane was shown broadcasting that day (one of the 70s pieces on YouTube.) For those who want the 1977 version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=zvcHtJK3Dhg;t=1

Shirleen Allicot returned from maternity leave today since the birth of her baby in March.
-
CeFaan Kim's bio is finally up. http://abc7ny.com/about/newsteam/cefaan-kim/

"Some call it retirement but it is just a pause." His words. Regardless, the party was today.
-
This is a big loss to WCBS. Lou Young has been a staple of New York news for over 30 years now from WABC to WNBC to WCBS. I really wish he'd come back to WABC, but I don't see that as likely.
-
Interesting. I figured with Dave Evans following the president, they'd do what WNBC did.
-
Diana Rocco was one of the per diem freelance reporters with WABC that they have several of. No guarantees because I don't have insider knowledge, but I bet her contract ended.
-
Talk about the strangest station to join right now. The fans are really loving WTSP's new format. [/sarcasm] Regardless, congrats to Carolina.
-
Apparently today was Dr. Richard Besser's last day. He is moving to a job at Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. They gave a farewell at EWN First at 4. [MEDIA=twitter]847212171239002112[/MEDIA]
-
Much congrats to Shirleen! There was an office bet on what to name the child when she was born. Second, kind of off topic, but ex-WABC anchor Greg Hurst is departing KHOU.
-
They changed the format, feeling like that there is no need for a sports anchor because of stuff like ESPN, etc as well as all the online media.

http://www.nytimes.com/1998/11/03/nyregion/abc-workers-stage-24-hour-strike-lockout-is-response.html (NY Times, November 1998) http://articles.latimes.com/1999/jan/16/business/fi-63971 (LA Times, January 1999) I distinctively remember this when it happened originally.
-
The fact that the Post found him makes me baffled to why the NYPD hasn't grabbed him already.
-
I was watching the news when that broke, it was cut and miss before Bill Ritter mentioning he's ok. That said, as I noted to Lucy Yang on Twitter earlier, we were gifted that he was dumb enough to pull his mask.
-
For a while, they've had to deal with wiring issues related to that manhole fire on the Upper East Side. At the same time, their online feed, which I rely on while I'm out of state, has been a bit up and down the last weekend.
