CircleSeven 1944 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Wow! Just Wow! I can't believe this. Guess who's coming to Channel 7 soon? From Frank Macek's Blog posted last week (8/14): Finally, our congratulations to WKYC multimedia journalist A.J. Ross who is leaving us to join WABC-TV in New York City. Ross joined the Channel 3 News team in April 2013 after leaving her hometown station of WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh and the New Pittsburgh Courier newspaper where she was also a freelance reporter. Wow! What a difference six years make. She was one of the first personalities when WMBF launched six years ago (and it was her first on-air gig at that). As I've seen here reporting style and delivery on WKYC, she's good enough that she could be in one of the bigger markets, hell, even one of the networks. IMO, she's like Linsey Davis-good. But I never thought she would end up at the #1 station in the largest market in the country. And she hasn't even been at WKYC 16 months? I feel that ABC made a tremendous decision picking her. Follow-up. A.J. made her Channel 7 debut yesterday, on it's 5:30pm show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainave 530 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Very clear that new promos are coming based on posts and pictures shared by various EWN anchors on social media over the past few days. Here's a video teaser NJ Burkett posted of one of the scenes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but you forgot one thing...EVERY SINGLE TIME they've gotten new promos, they debuted new graphics! Don't you remember that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainave 530 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 New promo: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152485952419091 I think it's a little cheesy, but it's pretty cool nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewser_676 26 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 New promo: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152485952419091 I think it's a little cheesy, but it's pretty cool nonetheless. I have to say, probably one of the most well-put together promos from any news channel (cable, network, local) that I have seen in a long time. The music: perfect. The camera angles: on point. And the premise is also genius. This is a MUCH better promo than the "come get it bae" one that First at Four did a month or so ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainave 530 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Over the past several weeks a number of anchors and reporters have indicated on social media that the newsroom is about to undergo a six-month renovation. Several posted pictures of them cleaning out their offices. Some suggested that they're "losing" their offices. Not clear if they mean they won't be able to access their offices while the renovation is underway, or if WABC is getting rid of anchor offices and moving them all to cubicles with the reporters. Here's a picture Liz Cho posted of the temporary digs: https://www.facebook.com/billritter.wabc/posts/10152884433019047 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabceyewitness 767 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 They won't have access to offices while the renovations happen because the offices and the enitre space is being gutted and redone. It's a long overdue and much need renovation for a newsroom that's had the same basic look and layout since, at least, the early 1990s.

ToriElectra 291 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I hope they keep that fake movie poster with Roger Grimsby somewhere; I saw it in one video with David Novarro in the newsroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainave 530 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 This has to be one of the best video montages I have ever seen. WABC put it together shortly after Hurricane Sandy and shared it again today on the anniversary of Sandy's landfall. It highlights beautifully the power and storytelling of the Eyewitness News enterprise and its people. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152498518504091 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree, it's put together beautifully. 2 years ago today was one of the weirdest days I ever experienced, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5262 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Not to burst any bubbles, but WABC actually put that video together last year for the 1st anniversary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainave 530 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Not to burst any bubbles, but WABC actually put that video together last year for the 1st anniversary. Wasn't sure if it was in the weeks following or on the one-year anniversary. Thanks for clarifying. Either way, I don't think when they compiled it takes away from how well-done it is.

24994J 5262 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Not at all. Heck, the clip compililations they've put together over the years for 9/11 and other big events have been second to none in the medium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5262 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Was this from during the marathon coverage, or was it a news segment? Either way, the font choice (and general style, to a lesser extent) looks a lot like WTVD's lower thirds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin2kx 229 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 yes they did use the espn2 feed with the network's commentators and the wabc reporters on hand for the coverage (joe torres, kemberley richardson, laura behnke, rob powers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns8401 839 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I know WABC likes to create special graphics & such, but I just thought this looked interesting from the marathon this morning It looks like one of those mock graphics you see in a movie with an impending disaster...

mountainave 530 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Reminds me a little bit of WPVI's lower third. Fine for special events, but I hope they're not planning to roll that design out. Too dated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 269 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I know I've said this before but I'll say it again. I think they not only need new graphics or atleast an update.. But new background images for the set. The images they had when they first debuted the set were much nicer. I think a live image might be kind of distracting (depending on what they use).. But new still images definetly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
