Dk_mediaNYC 29 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 In addition to the format changes, WNYW will begin airing hourly news updates on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 9:00 a.m. until Noon. its a start towards weekend morning news! and many other things are to come!

BehindNYNews 143 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I like the weekend addition and I'm glad Ernie is moving to 6pm while Steve moves to 5pm. I think Christina Park needs to make her way onto weekdays. She is too good to just anchor weekends. And a new set is a must! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country News 435 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I'm actually in favor of this. It's very unconventional, but it shows that FOX 5 is now more dedicated to news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Country News 435 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I can watch WNYW on DirecTV in Texas (Don't ask me how) and I can't wait to see what it'll be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1110 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Smells like Jack Abernethy and Fox corporate. And it's not a pleasant smell. "Fresh 5" could be anything - a newsotainment hybrid, etc. It could be an "All That and More" and backfire on them huge. I like hourly updates.

ABC 7 Denver 1552 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I can watch WNYW on DirecTV in Texas (Don't ask me how) and I can't wait to see what it'll be like. That's true in many markets (I don't know how many). You are watching the east coast feed. You also get the central, mountain and west feeds.

Breaking News 802 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 The FOX Fresh 5 should be more of a infotainment/lifestyle show with 5 fresh FOX reporters, etc. Steve, Dari, and some others should do the show. The 6pm would be more of hard news coverage, live reports, weather, etc.. Then 10pm News should feature Ernie & Brenda Blackmon and FOX 5 NY is not one of those FOX O&O to do an 11pm broadcast like WAGA, WJBK, WTVT where they could do NewsEdge at 11pm with Steve.

nynewslover 269 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Sounds good. I agree new set is needed.. Ernie is gonna need a co anchor at 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I don't feel this experiment will be anything like WPIX at all, or at least let's hope. I think this will actually help Fox 5 more than harm them. Unless WPIX makes drastic changes (bringing Jim Watkins back to the station, adding Kaity back to weekdays, demoting Tamsen and Suki, etc.) I think WPIX will stay the way it is. Fox 5, I feel, is becoming a better station as the years progress. However, I wish they chose to get rid of Dari, that needs to be the first order of business IMHO. But this is a step in the right direction IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonyz 26 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 If the news room becomes a "content center" then its WNBC all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio3787 1 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Why does WNYW opt out of having a localized bug during FOX primetime? I can't imagine not wanting the branding during the time they have the largest audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamagator 5 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I cannot stand PIX at 10 with that horrible team of Tamsen and Scott and the morning team is worst they should all be fired Fox 5 rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I have no idea, and there are no signs that they are getting one, so all we can do is hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkist 0 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 are they getting a new set? they need one. I sure hope they are. It looks like cable access. Especially Good Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 269 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Tonight is the last night with Enie on the 5:00 show. I have a feeling he won't be with the station come the end of the year or soon after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox5fan 17 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 All I know is I love when Christina is on. I really hope when Ernie retires that she takes the 6pm. She is fantastic. It is strange that everyone was off.. Steve, Ernie and Nick… It almost makes me wonder IF something is happening behind the scenes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard him clearly in the background while my tv was tuned to channel 5 at around 3:35 during the tease for the 5pm show. So if he wasn't on, either he had an emergency, or something bad happened...

JoseRM303 169 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I would think these changes will take effect on Monday; rather then today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
