LinCruzChicagoNYLA 9 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Considering this is a station that would change the anchor team photo on a day-to-day basis depending on if Rob or Dick was anchoring at 4, I kinda wonder if this pic promoting the 5pm live stream mains anything. I can't say I've noticed it until now, but that doesn't mean it's new... What about the the new photo of the 4p team, now added with Patrick to the anchor team photo? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Rubber 609 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 So, I noticed that yesterday and today, Patrick is anchoring at 4 and 6pm despite Dick being on the 5pm. Not sure if Patrick is going to be off this weekend, or if he's going to work a 9-day week. I'm curious why they're doing this. I'm guessing either Dick has a prior commitment that prevents him from working the 4 and 6pm, or management is trying to get Patrick in the seat on weekdays as much as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The later seems the most likely situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's all week. If I understood it correctly, Patrick's now the 4pm anchor, Dick is back to weekends, and the two of them juggle the 5 and 6 until Rob takes on one or both. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick doesn't have a bio online, and I'm guessing he hasn't sat for a head shot, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Rubber 609 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 So, after Rob working the 6pm and 10pm news and Patrick working the 4pm and 5pm news all last week, Dick Johnson returned to the weekend role this weekend. (I'm pretty sure Dick was off last week; don't remember seeing him at all) I wonder what role we'll see Dick in Monday-Wednesday this week. Anchor? Back to general assignment reporting? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5269 Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Rob's now on at 5 tonight, too. If they're going by their original plan, hopefully this means his recovery is coming along nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5269 Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Granted, he was a little out of practice from the time off (though I wouldn't say rusty), but his delivery and presence sure appear to be back to normal to me. Again, as the treatments continue and/or he regains more strength, he looks a lot better after a month back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5269 Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 I just stumbled upon this tweet from Patrick Fazio. Apparently NBC5 was ready to take over WTVJ's Irma coverage back in September. Fazio, Petty, and Sack would've anchored from the Telemundo set.

Georgie56 3059 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Here's a little more inside baseball via my "connection" to the station aka my cousin's wife who works there. Siafa Lewis is being dispatched to Minnesota to report from Super Bowl LII. Katie Kim is going to Pyeongchang to cover the Winter Olympics, but she has to leave weeks in advance before the games start. NBCU pays for both reporters' accomodations (airfare, hotel, etc). 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KARE apparently already shipped their equipment over at the beginning of December. All that stuff needs to be cleared and examined for RF coordination. I expected it to go out early (probably a month) but not this early. But I guess it takes time to set up the workstations (on folding tables) and setup the networking. I assume with IP transmission going live is easier for each station rather than relying on costly satellite time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
