FJ2000 2 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Wonder if Rick will say that "Sarah's off" on Fridays at noon now. I really do like Walter and Sarah together, way back to their days filling in on the AM when Monica & Rick took over for Marc Howard & Lisa Thomas-Laury It's how KTLA utilizes weekend talent 3 days a week for the midday shows. Their weekend morning weather anchor is on Monday and Tuesday, and their weekend evening meteorologist is on Wednesday through Friday.

Mrknowitall526 107 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The new ABC show "How To Get Away With Murder" showed a mock version of Action News during Thursday's episode. They did a pretty good job copying 6's graphics. Would've been even neater if they got 6ABC reporters to "act" on the show during news clips.

Mrknowitall526 107 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 HulkieD just posted in the NBC10 thread how 6 is finally using the video wall for something besides a background... I've noticed this, too. Finally... took long enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rear_flank 32 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Why are most of the 6abc meteorologists and weekday morning anchors posting on Twitter so much about watching Action News starting at 4:30 tomorrow? I wonder if there's going to be a big announcement or something? All the meteorologists keep saying "watch David Murphy for the latest weather", Karen Rogers posted about traffic, and Tamala Edwards posted something about Target brand ice cream. They never advertise this much about the newscast unless they're starting at an earlier time or something big is announced. Just seems odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems odd David Murphy just posted something on his Facebook page about Nydia Han airing a report about buying groceries at Target. ... ? Not sure at all why that's noteworthy!

TSSZNews 1046 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 The simple answer: They were all probably just told to up their social media engagement. I'm not sure anyone's properly unlocked the potential of turning social engagement to eyeballs on the TV. If anyone in this market can do that, it's them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrknowitall526 107 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 1. They just showed a teaser to Nydia's target grocery story. And I've also seen at least 2 promos about starting at 4:30 so far tonight. 2. Sarah is off tonight, but Walter didn't say "Sarah is off." ??

rear_flank 32 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Did anyone else catch Adam Joseph doing the beginning of the weather on the screen behind the anchor desk? It happened around 10:35 last night on the PHL17 newscast. They had StormTracker up and then it went to an Action Cam shot and then to the Chroma Key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that wouldn't work during the regular newscast because the anchors are sitting there and not at the "kids table" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he's okay and it's just from having a baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe that! I wonder where she is going - I always liked her bubbly personality. She doesn't do hard news, but her reporting is still good. And I wonder who will do Saving with 6ABC now?

Mrknowitall526 107 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Sharrie Williams is wearing glasses tonight, and the over head lights that you can see in the video wall were reflecting on them. First time I've ever seen someone wear glasses that did that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsLover 727 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Looks like Adam Joseph will be off our screens for a little bit of time: http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/entertainment/television/6ABCs-Adam-Joseph-leaving-TV-last-forecast-tonight.html I assume they'll use fill-ins (mainly Melissa Magee) instead of just letting Cecily do all the evening/night newscasts.

He has such a beautiful baby. I ope he gets as much bonding time as possible with the little guy and his partner. Congratulations again to the happy family.

Flyer78 61 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I noticed the 10 o'clock news is really making use of the video wall, for stand-ups, weather, breaking news, etc. -- good to see it finally getting some use more than the film loop of the skyline.

Mrknowitall526 107 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I've noticed that Sharrie now seems to have a bigger purpose on the 5pm show - and they cut to her now without an introduction or conversation, as if it was a 3-person team. However, she doesn't do as much as a regular anchor and she is not included in any of the voiceovers or end-of-the-show shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCAUTVNBC10 408 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 They should have her co-anchor Fridays at noon and Saturday evenings. Imagine if your employer told you to work a 7 day work week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsLover 727 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Imagine if your employer told you to work a 7 day work week. Yes, I would not want to do that. But not sure where you got the idea that I was implying that, as I am fairly certain that Sharrie only works Monday thru Friday currently. So adding the Friday noon is not adding an additional day. Adding Saturday evenings would make it a six day work week (not seven), but they could give her off Mondays so that she would remain at 5 days per week.

Mrknowitall526 107 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 The video wall appears to now be showing a feed from a camera showing the skyline. Trying to copy NBC10? It looks much more realistic than the one they were using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrknowitall526 107 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Oh, and now it's back to the other one. Maybe it was just a shot since they were talking about the pending snowpocalypse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
