NYNews 54 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) Looks like WABC is going to do new ads (or just could be NYE coverage) based on the following tweet from NYC OEM: Planned Flyover: A blue & red Bell 407 helicopter with a white Channel 7 logo will be conducting a flyover near Midtown MN on 12/31 from 8PM to 12:30 AM for reporting & photography. The aircraft will fly at approx. 2,000 ft. Multilingual & ASL Link: on.nyc.gov/1kdjT4y Edited December 30, 2018 by NYNews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could be a pool feed - you don’t want too many helicopters flying over a space where fireworks are shooting off. The Times Square Alliance always provides a feed of festivities, sights, sounds and performances., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5262 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Now that I think about it, I believe New Years Rockin' Eve does include a little graphic under the LIVE bug crediting WABC during the chopper shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even throw some jabs at their former competitors, former ABC network bosses, and include an interest piece of commentary they received from Walter Cronkite.

Roadgeek Adam 170 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 It's strange. Sam Ryan is now in the promotional material, but she still has no bio. Is she playing a permalancer role here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5262 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 The presence of (or lack of) an online bio is never a good indicator, especially in regards to newer employees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't carry the significance they once did before social media. Some folks at my station don't have a bio mostly because they didn't get around to writing one.

Roadgeek Adam 170 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 See, it still seems to alert some here, especially in the Bill Evans situation, where it basically gave it away. Also, they fixed the promotion material for 3 meteorologists now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news is...in the lobby of their studio by the Live with Kelly and Ryan studio audience entrance, there's a picture of every news pairing they have now, from weekday mornings to weekend evenings. I'll find out if she's officially on the roster on Wednesday or Thursday when I'll quickly swing by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiveNews 322 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 They're doing the same thing out here in Southern California. Like the Tri-State area, Southern California is expansive. I think that these community journalists are a good idea. I consider them an embedded journalist. KABC has two that I have seen, one covering the Silverlake/Echo Park area and another covering East Los Angeles. I am sure there are more. You can see what they are all about on their IG at @abc7sophie and @abc7eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad 272 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Would be nice to actually see this tried out on TV though it would certainly be re-inventive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
