24994J 5269 Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 Did they seriously have the same people in the same order tonight? Will Jones' cold weather live shot immediately followed Phil, while Michelle was after that at a department store. Good thing history didn't repeat itself, as Phil did most of his hit with the AR graphics on the south end of the studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5269 Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 It's not sports, obviously, but somebody needs to put together a '30 for 30'-like documentary of the whole ordeal. #neverforget 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1675 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 A professional. I’m sure if it were me there not only would be a studio reconstruction fee but an FCC fine as well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1944 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I think this is a first time WLS has done abbreviated weekday morning newscast. The last Xmas newscast that fell on a weekday (two years ago on a Friday) went full 2hr-30m length. I remember many years ago (even as late of the mid 90s) when on major holidays like this, they didn't have a morning broadcast at all. But would do a local news cut-in from the newsroom @ :25/:55 on the 6am hour during World News This Morning. Phil was back on this AM, with his red blazer. That tradition continues.

Okay, so I'm not losing it. As for the blazer, I love that he always wears it, but that gold turtleneck needs to be burned in the video fireplace they sat in front of at the end of the show. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5269 Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 There are a handful of reporters that don't have Twitter accounts, so it's likely just personal. Her bio is on the website with a Facebook link only. I wouldn't think too much into it, especially with her highest-profile gig of the year later tonight.

Georgie56 3059 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 It's basically a third weekend morning newscast today. Rivera, Pathieu, McGinnis, and Byrne are anchoring the first morning show of 2018 today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5269 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Ratings are in. 'Countdown Chicago' was up 30-some percent, while (whatever NBC 5 aired) lost half its viewers from last year. http://www.robertfeder.com/2018/01/02/abc-7-rings-new-year-top-ratings/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5269 Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Phil Schwarz on a Friday night? What's the world coming to? He was off since at least the middle of last week, and Cheryl's been hinting that she's getting run down by some illness (Tracy has the flu, and Jerry might be under the weather, too), so they probably asked him to do a few shows tonight to relieve her a little. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
