Abraham J. Simpson 303 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Good debut, seems absolutely fine. The question of how they use a 6th body remains. The social media responses that this brings them back to what they had previously is technically true but also misleading, since one was primarily the traffic reporter with some weather hits (and of course in fairness covering the earliest part of the morning show and the prep, with David Murphy also doing noon four days a week). Give her some early morning duty to give Karen a well-earned later start (later being relative) some days? That would seemingly make Payton the built in coverage for Karen’s days off in that scenario. So no more weekday shows for Sowers (for the most part). Have her do noon and any afternoon coverage on Brittany’s days off? That puts Adam back to evenings only, and also removes a weekday slot from Chris most week. And it’s two days a week. Flex her all over for coverage (who loses out?) and reporting on weather topics? Maybe. Maybe a coincidence, but the timing is interesting that on the day she debuts, Sowers talks about plans to do more of his home-based livestreams.

SF1964 57 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 She could also do some weekend evenings, filling in for Brittany. They had to have Adam or Cecily fill in on those shifts just a week or so ago. Chris has also pulled some doubles, doing morning and evening weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraham J. Simpson 303 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 They can certainly use her for the few weekends Brittany would be off. But clearly they need to use her on a regular basis and that would seem to mean the part-timer gets less shifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5269 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 As discussed in the ABC graphics thread and on our TheNewsCenter Discord, someone at WPVI simply cued up the new open, by mistake, for only one of the Sunday morning hours. Nothing has technically debuted, but the FULL rollout should be later this week. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyer78 61 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) So the Big Story so far is... the opening looked like the short-version from Sunday morning (no fancy live weather, etc.) Did have the usual spoken talent intro, however.

rear_flank 32 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 They are still using the old ticker at the bottom during the 4pm show. It does not lineup with the time and temp bug. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraham J. Simpson 303 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Yeah, that misalignment was irking me, and I full well realize that’s a personal issue with me. That and there’s still a remnant of the old package being used subtly on the vertical monitors off to the side of the anchor desk, at least during one segment. That said, I like some of the new transitions as part of the package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, the new opens are temporary, since they're still the winter ones. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temporary, as in they basically pasted the new logo animation over the end of this season's winter opens. With spring coming up quick, what debuted Tuesday won't last long. No talent faces are coming. Status quo and familiar is the plan. Sorry if my wording suggested otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
