NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I noticed for the past 2 nights, PIX has been going without a crawl on the 10pm newscast. I like the change, looks more professional, especially without that ugly orange thing on the bottom of the bug. It's not that I'm against crawls, PIX's crawl just looks ugly IMHO. The next thing that should be changed is the background. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstoriaNewser 1 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 New here and I cannot agree more that Kaity has "anchored" Ch.11 in more ways than one throughout the decades. Hiring Brenda shows how that channel honors true NY anchors but I wish they'd carry that philosophy over to the morning show. I love how Ch. 11 also covers the other burroughs better than other channels! All these changes make it hard for the audience to feel connected to our anchors! The same can also be said about WNBC...I sadly have no idea who those people are anymore and I grew up watching Live at 5 and all their broadcasts thereafter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamagator 5 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 They need to dump Sukanya Tamsen Fadal John Muller and Narmeen Choudhury and Mr G if I was in charge those would be dumped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 269 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Does anyone know what kind of time off they get at PIX? I feel like some (especially Linda Church, Suki and John Muller) are off more often then not 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like some (especially Linda Church, Suki and John Muller) are off more often then not Yeah I find that odd too. Then there are others like Tamsen Fadal and Andy Adler who seem to get off on Christmas and that's it. Also, I found this on the job listing: https://careers3-tribune.icims.com/jobs/44522/traffic-anchor-reporter/job So based on this, it seems like Marissa isn't getting the traffic gig permanently.

nynewslover 269 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 http://tunedinnyc.com/2016/09/10/kaity-tong-back-to-weekends-at-wpix-kori-chambers-heads-to-weeknights/ CHANGES AS OF 9-12-16 Kaity: Back to weekends Brenda: OUT Kori: Weeknights 5pm with Tamsen John: 6 and 10 with Tamsen If they were going to work with the people they have (unfortunately getting rid of Brenda) I think it would be better if they'd put Kori and Kaity at 5.. John and Tamsen at 6.. John and Kaity at 10.. And put a 2 anchor team on weekends (maybe include Brenda in that) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbs2idiots 21 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Kaity and Brenda would have been a great team at 5pm and Tamsen and John at 6 and 10. I don't understand why are they holding on to Tamsen? Anyway I am sorry to see Brenda go. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 269 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 At first, I was shocked to read the post; then I saw the link and thought "Oh Well, never mind." I don't know; even if it isn't true, it's terrible (pathetic even) that they'd axe Brenda Blackmon after that short amount of time. I wish her very well in where she goes next. The one part confirmed is Kori moving to 5pm Weeknights.. He posted on facebook 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 This change isn't going to put any dent in their ratings problem. Not sure why they cut John's hours and Tamsen's stayed the same. Like nynewslover said they should just put Kaity in their weeknight lineup, and hire 2 new anchors for weekends. I honestly really want to see Shirley Chan in an anchor slot, even if it's just for filling in. She anchored back at NBC CT and based on clips I've seen, she's pretty good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Watching at 10 and it seems like they scrapped the show within a show sports desk. I think Andy's best doing sports at the desk with the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabceyewitness 767 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 They should just give up. Let WABC or WNBC merge with the PIX news department and produce the shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4738 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Why is suki still there damnit, does she know where the bodies are burried? She could take those bodies over to FOX and trade them for cash. Just like aluminum cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 3059 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 They should just give up. Let WABC or WNBC merge with the PIX news department and produce the shows. Sure, let's throw away a legacy news product in the largest media market in the country in favor of outsourced newscasts. Get real, that's not happening. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 269 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I've said it once before and I'll say it again.. At the time we all couldn't stand Jodi Applegate (mainly cause of the format) but if she was there now with John or Kori I think ratings would be much better. If they want to keep Tamsen so bad move her to Kalas spot and let her do lifestyle reports during the 6-9 newscast. Then put Kaity and Kori at 5.. John and Kala at 6.. John and Kaity at 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John and Kaity at 10 Totally agree. Same with Frances Rivera. Both Jodi and Frances are WAY better for the evening spot than Tamsen. I actually think John and Frances would've been a great evening team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NowBergen 485 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Sorry to double post but... In Los Angeles, KCOP decided to do that in favor of having KTTV's newscasts. So it can be done. KCOP and KTTV are co-owned by Fox. We already have that with WCBS news at 9 pm on co-owned WLNY. Fox replaced news on co-owned WWOR with the Chasing News experiment that never dies. That way they don't have internal competition for the Ten O'Clock News. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianpr3 173 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 like i said pix needs to make massacre style changes also isn't wwor in trouble due to that licensing rule of not having NJ centric news etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
