JoseRM303 169 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Liz Cho & WABC posted the above pic that was unveiled in their newsroom today. Happy to see that Lisa's legacy still lives on and that she isn't forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFk 7 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Can anyone shed light on the way the beat reporters are rotated on air? Dray Clark has disappeared from the air in recent weeks, and it seems longer than a typical vacation. I'm enjoying Darla Miles in the morning slot... it's curious. Also, seemingly gone a lot lately are Carolina Reid and Anthony Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BehindNYNews 143 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I wish WABC would make a promo with set up like what WLS created here... This looks amazing it'd be nice to see WABC take a page out of WLS's book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5269 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Their copy writing skills would really come to the fore... Now, now, we established that that was proper usage of the term...an outdated term only really used by 70 year old white guys on the cusp of retirement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1944 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 A somewhat of a rarity regarding programming on 7 tonight. Tonight is the airing of The Ten Commandments on ABC, which the network will air at 7pm/ET. That's no rarity. But the rarity is that WABC is pushing the movie one hour later to 8pm, because it's schedule to air an hour-long Auto Show special at 7pm. That means (because of the length of the movie (with ads)) the late news will be aired at 12:44am!!! I don't think I've remembered the station airing news this late, and it didn't involve a sporting event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFk 7 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Just watching the Saturday AM broadcast. Gotta say, whomever assembled the team of Michelle Charlesworth, Rob Nelson, and Amy Freeze is damn smart. Their instincts in combining news gravitas with a lighter, less intense, Saturday friendly tone is spot on. As much as I'd love to see them all in weekday anchor slots (especially Michelle), I cannot imagine starting the weekend with others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Liz Cho, Bill Evans, Heather O'Rourke, Joe Torres, Jeff Smith, Michelle Charlesworth, Rob Nelson and Amy Freeze there all day taking photos and signing autographs in front of the Eyewitness News van inside the Javitz Center.

JoseRM303 169 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Hopefully this is just an April Fools Joke http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/4/1/wabc-sports-anchor-heading-to-cleveland-for-news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainave 530 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 We once speculated at great lengths the possibility that Rob would eventually transition to news while at WABC. However, the hiring of Shirleen virtually eliminated that possibility. It also essentially put an end to Rob filling in for the news anchors which he had previously been doing more and more of. So, if he indeed wants to transition to news, I guess this makes sense. Would be a loss for the team at a time when more instability isn't needed. Would also raise the question: what happens to Laura Benhke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'll shove Shirleen and a future minority male hire down our throats before that happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainave 530 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 i would think she would become the lead then they hire someone? Could be. I raised the question because I wonder if a station in the #1 DMA would be willing to have a female chief sports anchor. If it's up to Camille, then maybe it would happen. But otherwise, I imagine there might be some apprehension about how viewers would respond to a female delivering sports on weeknights.

Camille Edwards better watch out cause WCBS is creeping up on them it seems and WNBC has a fresh start coming soon while I don't think it's enough to beat 7 you never know what will happen.
