NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Not sure why, but WPIX is simulcasting tonight's 5 and 10pm newscasts on Antenna TV (11.2). But it's only for tonight, and doesn't seem to be on the schedule at all tomorrow or next week. Just thought that this was kind of strange.

Colortini 75 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 It's been like that for a couple of weeks. They also have been airing the 6a-7a portion of the morning news for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Ayana Harry anchoring tonight. Glad she's getting some exposure- with the right amount of practice I can see her being a valuable fill-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Noticed this new reporter on WPIX, Carolyn Costello. From what I've seen of her, she used to anchor and report for KTLA, and she seemed like a pretty good anchor. Hopefully PIX gives her a chance to fill in when the opportunity arises.

NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Just noticed this new web feature from PIX11, it's called the "PIXCAST", with a look at the day's top stories and weather forecast. It lasts for about 1 minute. Dan Mannarino did the morning and midday pixcast, and Tamsen Fadal did the evening one. It's a nice addition, but come on, they must of derived this idea from WABC, as they just launched the Eyewitness News "Quickcast" the other day. You can watch the "pixcasts" on their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pix11news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to connect with viewers online and get people updated quickly and easily. Expect this to be the norm. across all stations over the next year or two.

nynewslover 269 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Just looking online and WPIX has a job posting listed on 1/12/15 for a Meteorologist... hmmmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Just looking online and WPIX has a job posting listed on 1/12/15 for a Meteorologist... hmmmmm.... Based on the amount of job postings up, it seems like they're ready to boost up on management front. https://careers1-tribune.icims.com/jobs/search?ss=1&searchLocation=12780-12815-New+York&mobile=false&width=1306&height=500&bga=true&needsRedirect=false But this is great news, hopefully whoever is chosen will replace G (although I was hoping Craig Allen would fill that role, and he still might). OR maybe Mr. G is not being kicked to the curb, and he's retiring soon, and maybe he hasn't announced it yet? That could certainly be the case, as he retired from CBS FM a while ago. Also, I think Mr. G would make a great education reporter, if they didn't want to get rid of him...But this is still speculative. Mr. G may be there for another 5 years or so, who knows.

NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hmmm but the ND position is down already hmmmm??? I actually check PIX's job listing page regularly (I guess you could say I'm a bit obsessed), but it's actually been down for like a month. I think they are very close to choosing their news director, and are down to only a few candidates at this point. It seems like they don't want any more job applications, but are down to a select few people who they want to potentially be the ND. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Noticed this from WPIX GM Rich Graziano http://www.richardjgraziano.com/pix11-news-ratings-surge/ It seems the 5pm is doing great still, and the morning is also doing much better. But it looks like the 10pm may be in trouble. It still isn't even mentioned. I noticed that WNYW and WPIX have opposite "trends". WNYW is slipping at 5pm, while WPIX continues to do great, and WNYW surges at 10pm, as WPIX slips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BehindNYNews 143 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Now maybe it was just a bad moment, but this doesn't make Suki and Kori's relationship look good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MU6L396ywrQ It looks like Suki would have gone off on Kori had they been off the air.

NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Now maybe it was just a bad moment, but this doesn't make Suki and Kori's relationship look good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MU6L396ywrQ It looks like Suki would have gone off on Kori had they been off the air. One thing about Suki and Kori is that Suki doesn't seem to have the ability to comfortably banter. Kori tries to make light of a situation and Suki seems to get all serious and act uncomfortable. I don't remember this happening with her and John, but with Kori she just doesn't seem to like to banter with him. Even with Andy, she formed such an opinion and got borderline nasty with Andy when she did her segment one day (take a look at the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo5RBIEmWXE). Rosanna can sometimes get off on Greg with his antics, but she can do so comfortably. Suki seems like she wants to go off on Kori, but does so in an uncomfortable way. On another note, I'm surprised we haven't heard anything about the new news director. I would hope that he/she would be announced soon, considering that the ND job has been taken off the job listings website for like 2 months.

Action Newsroom 1149 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 To another matter: Has the station mentioned any updates on the new newsroom and/or a new set recently? Or has the plans still been abandoned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
