Weeters 1805 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 How is that a promo? Is that supposed to be a promo for Fox 5 or something? Ridiculous. "I told my daughter I didn't want her going out with that loser Bob from down the street, and she did anyways! I bet if we tell them not to watch, they'll watch!! That's how the kids work, you know!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Has anybody watched this video? I know someone brought it up a while ago, but skip to about 47:00 and listen for a while, you can tell Scott gets pissed at the control room crew. There is absolutely horrible communication between the anchors and the control room. That explains for all of the technical glitches and the anchors getting confused all of the time.

There is absolutely horrible communication between the anchors and the control room. That explains for all of the technical glitches and the anchors getting confused all of the time. He wasn't getting pissed. He was trying to ask the control room if there was going to be time for him to banter with Tamsen or if he should go right to the next story while the control room folks were in the middle of doing a hundred things to keep the show running. Sometimes anchors need to ask more than one time before someone in the control room (especially one like at PIX which probably isn't heavy on staff) hears them or is not in the middle of doing something. It happens often and isn't unique to PIX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the last time that happened was at the Motel fire down in point pleasant. That's just the way it seemed. Either way he wasn't annoyed I don't think. Just trying to get his answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say anything to suggest otherwise. He wanted to know if he could ask Tamsen a question/have some conversation with her or if he should go right to the next story after she tossed it back from Point Pleasant to him in the studio.

NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Former WTIC meteorologist Rachel Frank will do weather from 4-6am and then handle traffic duties on weekdays for the PIX Morning News. This is according to Tuned In's Jerry Barmash. I don't know her, but it seems like a good hire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I think I have proof that the sports desk is live: Scott said that the Mets game has officially been cancelled due to rain. The final decision was only made around 10:30 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoseRM303 169 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 was she even on this week??? no?? it would be odd for her to start on Friday or Thursday? I have no clue didn't watch. Also Irika Sargent who joined WFOR as co-anchor of the 5 & 11pm newscasts made her on air debut yesterday so not anymore odd then say Daniella Guzman who left WMAQ last Wednesday and yes I do find it odd when an anchor starts/leaves mid-week. Why not just start on a Monday for those that are new, and leave on a Friday for those who are leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 In other news, the Arsenio Hall show has been cancelled after 1 season. I'm happy, this likely means more Seinfeld reruns! If I want to tune in to a late night show, I'd take Letterman, Fallon, and Craig Ferguson, not Arsenio. I wonder if this will affect WPIX's ratings.

NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Tamsen must have taken a half day, as Scott is solo tonight during the 10pm. I have to say, he's not bad by himself. He does a much better job than Tamsen does when she's by herself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember pre-2010, when Kaity was off, even reporters like Monica Morales would fill in. Also I believe Jackie Hyland or Mary Murphy would also occasionally sit in. I've also seen Allison Kaden anchor before, and she's not bad. Even Jay Dow could sit in with Tamsen if Scott is off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we thought they were heading back in the right direction. :rofl!: PIX better make up its mind sooner or later. Like "BehindNYNews" said in an earlier post somewhere, they have to decide if they're Pix11 News or Pix11 Entertainment. They can't be both. How about airing hard news at 5pm and an entertainment show from PIX at 6pm? Or even at 7pm to compete with "Entertainment Tonight" and "Extra". This way they can sort out the stories they want to air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
