24994J 5269 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 It sounds like tomorrow's repeat of WCL will be dumped in favor of news, just as was done after the tornado outbreak in November 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5269 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 That awkward moment when the old ride and the new ride cross paths. No, I don't know if the old one is still in use, though I am curious as to the purpose of the old one retaining branding. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyway, for storm coverage, Terrell was at the storm site this morning, Judy and Linda anchored at 11, and both Cheryls are out there this afternoon. Alan is holding fort downtown for Ron at 5. Of course, that doesn't include the likely half dozen reporters that will spend time out there today.

ns8401 846 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Do they still need "HD" on their chopper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5269 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Yeah, I never understood the new paint job. It doesn't match the new graphics, and uses a logo that was retired before this chopper debuted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago News Boy 33 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Woah wait a sec. I thought Chopper 7 HD just got a paint job. I had never realized that they got an entirely new chopper. Do you think it's because it can provide more coverage/breaking news having two? During a time when Chicago news choppers are fading out more and more, I'm in complete shock that they have 2!!

24994J 5269 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 I knew that they had gotten a new chopper. I think they ran a few promos, though it wasn't as repetitive as some promos and plugs they've aired. I did not realize, also, that the other one was still around. You'd think having two would be something to brag about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5269 Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Before tonight, when was the last time Cheryl filled in for Ron at 10? Seriously, it's been that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny that you say that because I literally was just so confused, sitting here thinking "since when did Cheryl Scott ever fill-in as a news anchor." It's been forever since I've seen Burton truly as a full "contributor" on air that she completely slipped my mind for a second.. Or two! Haha.

24994J 5269 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 This is really random, pointless, and a waste of a post, but is he wearing the same tie in both images? I ask because the image on the left is from last night, and the other is from today. It's kind of odd to me that, working in television, (1) the anchor wouldn't notice his tie choice, and (2) someone working with him wouldn't notice. I dunno, call me crazy.

Jase 818 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Since the door has been opened (if you will), it looks like he is wearing the same shirt too. There appears to be makeup residue on the collar that is somewhat similar, but more pronounced today on one side given the angle. I could be totally wrong given that I'm dealing with an eye infection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5269 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 No, no. I see it, too. And, I'll be damned if those lapels don't look very similar, too. Taking into account that the late news has more blue-ish lighting, I'd guess that's the same suit, too. All kidding aside, hopefully everything is okay. Maybe he had a laundry mishap, messing up today's outfit, forcing him to use yesterday's pieces that might have still been at 190 North...which is airing one of its semi-regular episodes this weekend, BTW. (Great segue, I know.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns8401 846 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Note that the knot on the tie is slightly different... I always slip my tie off so I don't have to go through the horrors of tying the thing. Apparently Ron does it a bit differently... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProButtonPusher 230 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 UNFILTERED, BOREDOM-INFLUENCED SPECULATION: Maybe they were shooting promos over a period lasting several days, and those promos required him to wear the same suit. He either forgot to change the tie or didn't care, as probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 people noticed. #suitgate2015 #thisstuffmatters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToriElectra 291 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Well, people recycle clothing over several days all the time- I do it myself, to get the maximum possible use before I have to wash them. Ron must be doing the same thing with his tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 269 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Personally I don't untie my ties just makes things easier.. When I get home I just throw them and will at times where the same one 2 days in a row.. No I'm not on tv (yet) but I work with the public and no one seems to notice.. Brings this topic up again. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/6170900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5269 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 BREAKING: He's wearing a different shirt and tie (the suit is dark, so I can't tell if that's changed). This is not a drill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiCubsFan 33 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 The real question is why are we discussing his clothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
