TVNewsLover 727 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 You must not know the current schedule. 6's Noon news now runs for an hour. Millionaire's been running at 2. I wouldn't be surprised if Millionaire is the odd man out in. From what I've gathered, the second Jeopardy airing has done well for them and Millionaire has been irrelevant for awhile now. I do know the schedule and I know the noon news runs an hour. And I also know that Millionaire currently airs at 2pm with Daytime Jeopardy at 2:30pm. Not sure how you deduced that I didn't. With "The Fab Life" going at 2pm, obviously the Millionaire/DTJeopardy combo is getting booted from that hour. Isn't possible for them to go back to the way it was and slash the news back to a half hour with Millionaire back at 12:30pm? And isn't it possible that they will drop the Jeopardy rerun? I believe the answers are yes it's possible. Is it possible that you not be so cocky in your responses? I've noticed this in the past from you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamv2 21 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I don't think they will scale back the noon broadcast. Millionare will either get banished to the late-late night, or pvi will dump it all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsLover 727 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I could also see Rachael getting bumped. On another note, a rarity at noon today. Erin O'Hearn was in for Sarah. Usually when one anchor is off, the other anchors solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamStabelli 0 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Can I just say how much I can't stand Matt Pellman? I don't know why he feels the need to make his traffic reports so jokey and full of cringe worthy puns. I wish he'd dail it back and deliver a straight traffic report.

darkridedan 4 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I have no problem with him. Besides, that would make a traffic report rather boring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF1964 57 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 This is not just about 6 ABC, but there's a new book out that has lots of info and pictures on all of Philadelphia TV and its history. It's called "Philadelphia Television, Images of America". Local Barnes & Noble has it, as does Amazon online. Not sure I'm allowed to post a link, but this shows some of the pictures. It's a small preview of the whole book. You have to scroll down. https://books.google.com/books?id=hqX0CQAAQBAJ&pg=PA6&lpg=PA6&dq=Philadelphia+Television+%28Images+of+America%29&source=bl&ots=d1KLQd781w&sig=l6khYoMQQYMCL_siC26Jwm1-FpI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CFIQ6AEwDGoVChMIseiX4IesxwIVAvaACh15xAfD#v=onepage&q=Philadelphia%20Television%20%28Images%20of%20America%29&f=false Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bars-n-tone 35 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I know a few of the contributors thanked in the link above. That's a solid group. Should be a good book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action Newsroom 1149 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Remember when I mentioned once that Matt once fill-in anchored a weekend morning newscast? Yep, now Tamala's taking a turn too. She's joining Eva and filling in for Nydia this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Newsroom 1149 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 NewscastStudio did an article spotlighting Action News' trademark and iconic theme "Move Closer to Your World". http://www.newscaststudio.com/2015/08/17/why-philly-station-still-uses-iconic-theme-music/?utm_source=FB&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=FBPost It's a good brief article featuring its history and mentions this: "Listening to the music today, it’s definitely lacks the crisp audio quality we’re used to hearing today and the lyrics may border on corny to some, but the song definitely has a place in the hearts of the station’s viewers. " I agree with all it says here, although I never found the lyrics even near corny in my life to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkridedan 4 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 The theme could use an update. Even in 1996, I couldn't understand why the station didn't use the local in-town orchestra! With a Philly sound and better orchestrations, people would be more open to change. The '96 version sounded awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a Philly sound and better orchestrations, people would be more open to change. The '96 version sounded awful. I think it's obviously because many viewers complained about it, saying it wasn't the version "they grew up with" or "they knew and loved". I don't this version was even bad, but I could agree with them to that point. I was surprised when I read how long it took until it was removed. The article said it was taken down after three days. I thought it was five days from years of reading the station's article on Wikipedia. But it said that too, to my shock and frustration. I guess that's the real truth now.

Action Newsroom 1149 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 There is another article about MCTYW, this time by BillyPenn.com. http://billypenn.com/2015/08/12/phillys-action-news-theme-song-has-survived-10-presidential-elections-and-20-olympic-games-and-isnt-going-anywhere/ It's pretty much nearly the same as the NSC article, but features a lot more to read, and also features this great and interesting piece of trivia: The vocals of the theme were by The Hillside Singers, best known as the people who song the song featured in Coca-Cola's most iconic "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke" commercial. That just blew my mind--and it makes this theme sound even more iconic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsLover 727 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Long day for Rick. Solo anchored at Noon, then co-anchored at 4pm & 5pm, and now is solo anchoring at 10pm!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianpr3 173 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Why doesn't Jim Gardner ever fill in at 10pm? maybe he made his contract to do no fill ins and only do 2 shows the 6 and 11 pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsLover 727 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Why doesn't Jim Gardner ever fill in at 10pm? Monica has been the more frequent fill-in at 10pm. Nonetheless, Matt was on at noon today. I wonder when they will name a 4pm co-anchor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF1964 57 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I saw a promo for "The Fab Life" premiering this fall at 2pm on WPVI. Daytime Jeopardy will probably fall off the schedule as it is a rerun anyway, but will Millionaire return to 12:30pm? I wonder where other stations are putting "The Fab Life"... The TV listings starting Sept 14 show "The Fab Life" on at 2PM, replacing Millionaire and Jeopardy. No changes to the 6ABC hour long 12PM news or any other shows. I know everyone's been waiting since July for this news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
