Another tri-state area alum returning back to New York City roots.  Also I see that WNBC is taking some notes from WRC with the Breaking News desk.

Kerry Barrett had that role but mysteriously disappeared. Still don't know what happen to her. At least she's doing well in her venture.

WNBC has done some updates to the studio. They added a silver frame around the large video screen.

The higher floor for the area to the left of the news desk has been removed and they added sliver molding to the bottom of the walls.

The desk next to the left of the video wall was not there today.

O...kay? So?

 

Sounds to me like Ushery is working late, and Price is off. Not sure what's so special about any of this.

 

Exactly, especially this time of year when anchors and reporters are trying to use up vacation time, just like everyone else that works.

 

NBC just explained his absence.  Ushery was inducted in the Silver Circle of NY Broadcasters today, why he was off at noon, as was many of the regular staff.  Congratulations David.

Received this site's notification that Michael Gargiulo and Matt Brickman were

doing the 11 this morning.

 

Gargiulo has always been a big favorite of mine.

 

Have really become a fan of Matt Brickman!  The best hire that WNBC has made

in all too long of a time.

 

He really should be doing Today in New York with Michael Gargiulo and Darlene Rodriguez.

 

He has an easy going, big personality and would fit in so much better than Maria LaRosa.

 

She's nice, she's competent and nothing more.  

 

Welcome Matt Brickman, you're a welcome addition to Channel 4!

Congrats to him. He's a true professional in this business and in the tri-state area.  To make the jump from one good station to the next in the same market is no easy fate and to work with the greats like Gabe Pressman, Chuck Scarborough and others that's a honor well deserved.

Channel 4 has not doing this year's Holiday Sing Along for the first time in 5 years. the most recent cancellation of the Holiday Sing Along promo taping was in 2014, due to bad weather caused by snow. Instead, the station has recycled last year's promo featuring "Deck the Halls", which will be the last NBC4 Holiday Sing Along promo for this decade, but with some alternations including the removal of "The Grinch" animated character, and the removal of Jummy Olabanji, Wale Aliyu and even Chris Cimino, all of which was been released by the station throughout this year, but also added with the Christmas Card-Inspired opening/closing animation for the first time since 2017. newcomers Kay Angrum, Maria LaRosa, Gilma Avalos, Anajali Hemphill, Myles Miller, and Matt Brickman did not included in this year's promo for some reasons.

I’d like to know if this was scheduled to be recorded on the day of the hostage situation in Jersey City,

Speaking of Jersey City, on last night's 11, Stefan Holt called the kosher deli a "Bodega"!

Huh?

Who writes this stuff?  Where was the producer?  Doesn't Holt read his copy before going on air?

 

And, the station's Saturday "No Tie" policy took a strange turn yesterday.

On the 6, the in studio on camera men wore ties.

On the 11, back to the tasteless idiocy of no ties.

 

It's difficult to take an anchor seriously when he's talking about murder and mayhem

and he looks as if he's doing the 5 a.m. Farm Report in Iowa!

 

Just awful!

 

This is the New York City market and the flagship station of the NBC Television Network.

Please explain the issue with kosher deli vs Bodega to a non-native NYer.

What a sad sing along. Half the employees don’t even look happy to be there... and how did not one person notice Dave Price being confused by the lyrics??

A kosher deli is a deli where you get specialty sandwiches and food from. A bodega is like a small mini-market where you get chips, soda, lotto tickets, cigarettes, cat food, milk, eggs, and change for a $20.

writers, producers, unpaid interns...

 

some anchors skim their scripts for hard to pronounce words... but they don't sit down and fact check it... their job is to read what scrolls up that prompter...

 

i'm ron burgundy?

Did Wale recently leave or did he leave over the summer with Jummy?

That did remind me, what happened to Roseanne Colletti? Her Twitter stopped on 7/30 and her bio's gone, so I'm guessing there's a reason that was nonamicable. 

 

Looks like WNBC making a lot of changes.  With the most updated website they don't have the recent pick ups with exception of Maria LaRosa, and Matt Brickman for their profiles.
