Abraham J. Simpson 120 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 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 8 Posted November 22 Share Posted November 22 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 120 Posted November 22 Share Posted November 22 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 by ThunderJay27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraham J. Simpson 120 Posted November 22 Share Posted November 22 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. Simpson 120 Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 Hmmm, a new meteorologist role? https://empleos.disneycareers.com/trabajo/filadelfia/wpvi-meteorologist/391/57586125536?utm_campaign=google_jobs_apply&utm_source=google_jobs_apply&utm_medium=organic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G2000 30 Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 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 120 Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 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 8 Posted Wednesday at 04:38 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:38 AM 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...
Abraham J. Simpson 120 Posted Wednesday at 03:09 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:09 PM They’ve had a pretty good group of incoming reporters of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nynewslover2 11 Posted Wednesday at 08:58 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:58 PM 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.
