NYTV 107 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 20 hours ago, bc485 said: Fox 5 has gone outside and hired Natasha Verma as its new 5, 6, and 10pm anchor, replacing Lori Stokes. This article indicates that Verma will anchor with Steve Lacy, so maybe they are dropping the solo-anchored 6pm format. https://tvnewscheck.com/journalism/article/natasha-verma-joins-wnyw-new-york-as-evening-anchor/ It should also be mentioned that this is a return to NYC for Verma, who started at News 12 Bronx / Brooklyn.

I can't imagine Steve doing it, given that he hasn't even done it when Lori was gone, and it should have been obvious to have their main anchor do the solo spot.

nynewslover 269 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I didn’t get to watch the 6:00.. was it the same format with interviews or was it a straight newscast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaZone4K 1508 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Steve is a weak anchor and without Lori (or atleast Teresa) the evening slots lacks a strong presence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, Lacey's issue is that his delivery really has no cadence. He reads as if he were rushing through paragraphs and rarely emotes feeling or personality. Dari lasted really long! At least importing external talent is a start, but Fox 5 News isn't in the best state right now.

So, Teresa was back tonight. Maybe she just took yesterday off to trick or treat with her kids. And the format was the same yesterday with an interview. Did not watch the whole (yet) thing tonight. I find it amazing that Steve Lacy doesn't do the 6pm. Is he a terrible interviewer, or does he just have an excellent contract? Or is it both?

My theory has always been that Fox 5 evenings competes well enough with PIX11 that there isn’t an emphasis on investing there. Everything about the 5,6 and 10pm lacks inspiration. Aren’t they one of the few Fox owned stations that have never invested in an 11pm addition to the 10pm? It’s probably not entirely fair but they simply do not seem to take their evening side serious.

They got lucky with Lori but now they’re back to where they were. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nynewslover 269 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 As of this morning anchors are no longer social distancing and back to pre pandemic seating. That makes WABC the only station that has anchors still sitting further apart.. which if postings from the morning team are an indication that will be ending soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering when they would go back to normal. I thought the current anchor spacing on WABC, which is closer than it was during the pandemic, was done to leave room to display graphics on the video wall behind them?

I figured they were making use of the big screen since they were still distancing a bit. The recorded new promos according to Shirleen Allicots Instagram and it shows all 4 at the desk with the regular back drop and “prepandemic” seating.

MisterBill 75 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 They had Natasha Verma in to anchor the 5pm news on Saturday before the Giants game. Arthur Chi'en anchored the news after the game. And it seems like Theresa Priolo is the official 6pm anchor now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
