NYNewsCoverage 191 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) This seems to indicate they won't be broadcasting Yankees games anymore and haven't since 2021: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_New_York_Yankees_broadcasters So much for the whole "two teams, one station" branding. Also explained on WPIX wiki page: "In 2015, the Yankees returned to WPIX after a 17-year absence, having picked up YES Network's package of over-the-air Yankees broadcasts, replacing WWOR-TV. These games co-existed with WPIX's existing Mets broadcasts (produced by SportsNet New York).[88] In 2022, these games left WPIX for Amazon Prime Video.[89]" Edited March 4 by NYNewsCoverage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewsCoverage 191 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Also, Star Harvey announced that news today: she's replacing Stacy Ann on weekend evenings, while still doing weekend mornings. I'm guessing this means Stacy Ann takes Chris's old slot from 4-6am weekdays? PS : also that new breaking news graphic looks pretty nice! https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=656877486440523&set=a.459614339500173 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NowBergen 439 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Saturday 6 pm news is from the new studio, tight shots though. New graphics as well. I'd call it evolutionary, not revolutionary. Bug includes their anniversary logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceManNYR 190 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 The only odd thing I'm noticing from the new studio is, the graphics look distorted when they do the weather forecast from the video wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey 701 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I think this is the best studio in New York, at least the parts we've seen. Graphics look nice, though the lower-thirds and even the bug ruin it for me. Not a fan of the very thin text bar on top... Text feels squished in there. The way the lower-thirds and the text on the full screens feels clunky to me. But overall I think this is a very big improvement for PIX. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much light shining directly onto the screen (video wall). Same can be said of the one directly behind the anchor desk.

MorningNews 1196 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Easily the best set in the NYC market. I’m impressed how they were able to take KTLA’s design and New Yorkify it. The graphics look great as well. How long has John Muller been anchoring weekend mornings? He’s held nearly every single timeslot at the station by now but great to see him around nonetheless.

And thats true- during his entire PIX run John has anchored the main AM (with Suki, Lynne), 5pm, 6pm, 10pm, early AM , and now weekend AM slot. I must say him and Kirstin work really well together. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewsCoverage 191 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 On another note, I believe Ojinika Obiekwe is out as entertainment reporter (her bio is no longer on the website). I believe Dan and Hazel have been handling entertainment reports. Marysol or Ben would probably be the best replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of unknown faces at WPIX from that video. Oji was great, she had personality. Edited March 20 by MediaZone4K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMA 122 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Is Chris Cimino permanently off New York Living with his move to the PM weather? I will say I think Alex and Marysol seem to have great chemistry on air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also new is that Justin Walters has joined the AM team as morning sports anchor (similar to Duke Castiglione); making room for the nexstar CEOs son Perry Sook to be main field sports reporter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceManNYR 190 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Checking the Saturday morning newscast, it appears they are doing soft filtering on some of the camera shots. Having it on the wide camera shots is odd as the faces look way too soft. You can see the difference in this camera shot which does not appear to have the soft filtering. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewsCoverage 191 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Didn't get to watch, but viewers on social media were noting of a pretty big tech failure during last nights 10pm newscast, where apparently they couldn't air any video or still pictures. Most were noting (as expected) Kaity did a great job handling everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewsCoverage 191 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 There's no confirmation, so please note pure speculation at this point. But there's reason to believe Tamsen is out as 10pm anchor (replaced by Shirley Chan). Thats mainly since Shirley has been anchoring last couple of nights and no longer says 'in for Tamsen' at 10pm but still does at 4/5/6 from what I saw last few days. Either way hopefully this is true- Shirley and Kori are great and bring the program the closest to the Jim and Kaity days, at least in my opinion. Also Shirley oozes professionalism in a way Tamsen never did. Either way if this is true- major step forward for PIX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good. Finally! And after so long too. Shirley is a (near-)perfect, talented and well-deserved replacement, and I find her rapport with Kori professional yet refreshing and enjoyable. I wish her a tenure in the evenings as long as (if not longer than) Tamsen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaZone4K 1193 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) Agreed! Shirley is pretty good. Put her in the evenings so we have more faces. Edited April 17 by MediaZone4K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsjunker95 26 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 How to fix the PM team: 4:00pm: Arianne and Shirley 5:00pm: Tamsen and Kori 6:00pm: Kala and John (Should have happened many years ago at this point) 10:00pm: Shirley and John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who's paying for them to have 6 weeknight anchors? Certainly not Nexstar or any sane station owner in 2023. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
