SF1964 57 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Chs 3, 6, and 10 are starting their morning news at 4AM Thursday to cover the snow. Ch 29 normally starts at 4, but tomorrow they're starting at 3:30AM to get the jump on all the important news at that hour. I wonder if that extra half hour will affect the February ratings book?

Jess 1110 Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Chs 3, 6, and 10 are starting their morning news at 4AM Thursday to cover the snow. Ch 29 normally starts at 4, but tomorrow they're starting at 3:30AM to get the jump on all the important news at that hour. I wonder if that extra half hour will affect the February ratings book? Do they even measure ratings during that half-hour? I really doubt it'd make any difference. In any event I would say we're through the looking glass here but WCAU did 3am news a few years back so...

SF1964 57 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Mike Jerrick returned from rehab today. He explained his ordeal, too. They also added a couch to the set, which I hope they keep. It makes the set seem more casual and comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderJay27 27 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I was home tonight for the first time in a while and decided to catch Fox 29 News at 10. One thing though call me off guard was them playing different songs as they we're going to commercial breaks. Just just curious to know how long they have been doing this and what do you guys think of this idea? I know 29 tends to be different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF1964 57 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Evening anchor Lucy Noland was rushed to the hospital during the 5PM news Monday night. They haven't said exactly what the problem was other than stomach pain. Hope she's ok. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/philly-anchor-is-rushed-to-hospital-during-newscast/196423 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JULIUS 1 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I don't know what the heck is going on but I noticed that Lucy Noland is solo anchoring the 5 PM and 10 PM news and Iain page is solo anchoring the 6 and 11 PM news, Monday-Thursday for the last few weeks? What is going on? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JULIUS 1 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 FOX 29 news is 100 percent bad, in every aspect. I don't know how much longer will FOX keep this operation going here in Philly . FOX is wasting a lot of money on a product that no one watches. Everyone watches 3, 6 and 10 for news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSSZNews 1046 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Re: Feb, No way that’s accurate for anything but the demo—and even then, it’s probably #2 until 9AM. The #1 demo spot for 9-10a is old hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooner or later, they have to stop the bleeding. The FOX 29 on-air news product is not drawing ratings anymore, no matter what the on-air people do. They are in last place for a reason.

You're not wrong, but I'd miss some of the on-air talent that's been there since the good old days (Dave Schratweiser, Bruce Gordon, et. al.), but the station took a sharp nosedive when they lost the pairing of Dave and Dawn. I don't really their adoption of the FNC-inspired O&O look really helped matters, either. #bringbackTolley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
