Abraham J. Simpson 303 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Fall opening sequence for the news: check. New voice doing the opening: check. (No idea who, don't pay that close attention to who's who in that world.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing I find most surprising is that they had Charlie Van Dyke record an intro for the new 10am show that debuted a few weeks ago.

It is. A guess, thinking it through, they wanted that to launch with the full treatment, for lack of a better word. Put the new stuff in place with the changing of the opens? It’s not the cheapest route, but maybe that’s just how things aligned. Won’t make much of a difference to most viewers, so no big deal either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wofchristian 24 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Has anyone noticed that Jamie Apody has been missing for a few weeks? Wonder what’s going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraham J. Simpson 303 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 She is (or was as of Sunday) still in the opening spiel, and supposedly still is on the website. Since they have an opening without talent, and they usually move quickly to put that in place when someone is officially gone, it’s unusual, but entirely possible there’s private reasons she’s not been on.

It looks to be that she's taken a leave of absence. https://www.crossingbroad.com/2023/11/jamie-apody-mystery-employment-status-update.html Edited November 22, 2023 by ThunderJay27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraham J. Simpson 303 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Just saw that same article. And for wheat it’s worth, she was still named in the closing spiel of today’s 5 pm news. Crossing Broad got plenty. They don’t meed to stoop to invading privacy or spreading rumors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraham J.

G2000 30 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Interesting the post says that they are looking for someone who likes to “geek out over weather”. Seems like they are aiming for someone going and hip. Do they need to improve ratings in the younger demographic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abraham J. Simpson 303 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 A good question. Doesn’t seem likely to be cost effective to return to having two in the morning. At the same time, you don’t need one to just do noon. You have two covering all the evening shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wofchristian 24 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 We've got a new reporter on our hands! Charles Watson. Can't find anything about his past, but here's a video with him. He's so new they don't even have his bio on the site yet. https://6abc.com/perkiomen-valley-high-school-student-fight-montgomery-county-pennsylvania/14145938/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nynewslover2 11 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I want to say I’ve seen Charles Watson before on Fox News, but I could be wrong. 6ABC like WABC & WLS, etc definitely can have the pick of the litter when it comes to On Air talent so most are above average quality.

Correct, as per this Tribune article written in 2020 discussing his promotion to an Atlanta-based correspondent from MMR. Was also at WRNN during the FiOS days and then at WRDE before that.

Abraham J. Simpson 303 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Horribly tragic. They’ve confirmed both individuals aboard were killed, which seemed inevitable from what little was shown of the crash site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1675 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 The helicopter went down at 2002 and they didn’t receive it was missing until 2250. I don’t know who dropped the ball, surely someone would have tracked it or know how long they’d be out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraham J. Simpson 303 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 There’s plenty of time for investigating particulars. Perhaps people can hold off on casting aspersions for just a bit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad 276 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) Yeah thats horrible. Hope they can identify the cause quickly so that way if there is an inherent risk with these choppers they can resolve it on all of the helicopters that are up in the air right now. It doesn't bring the lives lost sadly. Very tough situation and such horrible timing being the holiday season.

That brought back memories of what happened last year when WBTV's helicopter crashed.... My thoughts are with everyone at 6abc and the family members of the 2 crew members.

EVVTV12 81 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 I don’t know about the other newscasts, but Chopper 6 was removed from the new intro of the 6PM newscast. (First day of winter.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(First day of winter.) The winter openings were also used at 10 am and noon. Don’t know about the morning hours or 4/5 pm. Normally, they don’t roll out the new season openings until after the official arrival time, which would have been the 11 pm today. Absolutely understandable if this was the reason (not that they need a reason), as it was a bit sad to see the prominent shots of the copter in some of the openings used yesterday.
