Amy has not returned yet

@Spring Rubber are you here?

Interesting that Kate left to focus solely on News Now, but she was replaced by someone who also has a daily 2 hour show on News Now! Maybe they need to bring back John Seigenthaler…. Remember when he was ‘let go’ with budget cuts and replaced with Lester (who also anchored weekend today at that time)

Pretty sure Amy Freeze hasn’t been back on-air in some time. Anyone know what’s going on? Is Marissa the new host of Weather Command now? She posted on social media something like ‘now that I no longer work nights’…

Kelly Costa posted on social media that she was offered to relocate to NYC and stay with FOX Weather, but she turned it down and hinted that she will be returning to New England and working at a station in her home state. Stay tuned

That doesn’t sound like a career change allowing one to have more time with family…

“Permanent”…. LOL she may have requested to shift to mornings for personal reasons? Or perhaps this is her way of easing back in after baby?

The longer weather segment looks to be in front of green screen. This makes sense and allows viewers to see the graphics in a larger/clearer way. I’ve seen other stations that mix up how they use large video walls vs green screens. IMHO I dislike when stations use the large video walls for weather - especially when they are not the seemless video walls (WFSB, WTIC) as the edges of the LED panels mess with the graphics

Wonder if Phil would go back to DC and join the afternoon edition of “NewsCentral”? I can see Poppy getting the morning newsroom block on MAX…. Can’t see either of them settling for weekend evenings

What’s the current anchor rotation these days?

Having the border around the top throws it off in my opinion, otherwise it’s good

When did the monitor behind the anchor desk (covering the corner column) change to have a thick border? Noticed it this morning on Saturday Today - it’s directly behind Laura on the 3-shot

Speculation - the DC set is undergoing election updates

Coveted? I assume she’ll report during the week a few days too. Good for her!

I think it looks great too!

@jrogo - wondering if it’s the WNJU set as it’s very similar to WNBC. Maybe it’s being used for election coverage prior to WNJU moving in?

Was Katy Tur anchoring out of a new studio today?? Looked very similar to WNBC’s new studio

Did Alex Witt move to Los Angeles? I noticed her Saturday show was broadcasting from there and a few other times I turned in she was in LA and then other times she was in New York.

Long time reporter/anchor Leslie Mayes has quietly exited NBC CT (WVIT). Perhaps upset over the recent anchor announcements and her being passed over for a spot again? Or after 9+ years she was ready for a change?

Why do they need a bigger set to present the news? This set has atleast 4 separate areas - main desk w/ largest video wall, a large video wall (also used for weather) large monitor, corner monitor. In the rare occasion they need more space for a special show maybe they would use another studio within 30 rock? I will say I think the camera shots used for weather are awkward b/c they cut off part of the monitor - perhaps they can’t shoot straight on due to space constraints (if so, that’s a bummer)

Looks like some similarities to the WVIT-NBC CT set, specifically the peacocks on the wall, the mix of some darker wood (used differently than WVIT). Overall it comes across as very small on-air, but an improvement over the previous set for sure.

- ok

Appear to still be in 3k as of the 11am show today (10/26) but it very well could be in 3b has it been confirmed that they are replicating the 3k set in 3b, or should viewers expect a change?

Is tomorrow the big debut day?

Studio delays happen all the time…
