jtgh922 18 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Anyone have an idea what WABC plans to do with Katie Couric's 3pm timeslot come September? Surprised they haven't decided yet and started promoting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5269 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Do any stations run newscasts in the 3 pm hour? Did you mean in only New York or anywhere? If you meant New York City, then no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Did you mean in only New York or anywhere? If you meant New York City, then no. Sorry if this is unrelated, but I always wanted WLNY to launch a 3pm newscast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin2kx 229 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 A second run of Jeopardy and Millionaire. I just feel like, unless the new Tyra Banks show would fill in 3p slot next year, new eps of Millionaire should be in the 3p hour instead of being prone to preemption likewise constantly at 12:30p by breaking news/special reports from ABC News or WABC. It can be frustrating for one who watches the show daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaking News 802 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Do any stations run newscasts in the 3 pm hour? Cities outside NY for 3pm news; Milwaukee (WTMJ4), Las Vegas (KTNV 13), and Los Angeles(KCAL9) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenShine9 1509 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Cities outside NY for 3pm news; Milwaukee (WTMJ4), Las Vegas (KTNV 13), and Los Angeles(KCAL9) Yeah I meant overall, but maybe they might want to fill that hole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsLover 727 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Yeah I meant overall, but maybe they might want to fill that hole? I think they are going with Millionaire/Jeopardy because they have plans to put Tyra Banks show there for Fall 2015 if all goes as planned. Doesn't make sense to place something else there only to yank it a year later, so repeats are probably best as placeholders. Believe it or not, WABC is the only station with news at 4pm in NYC. I always thought 3pm news would be overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 269 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 A 3pm newscast on WABC would be ridiculous. That's news from 3-7. If a station like PIX or WWOR did it I could understand but even then it's kind of dumb. A later evening newscast (7 or 8) would be better than mid afternoon when like nobody is home.

NYNewser_676 26 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 What if they extended Eyewitness News at Noon to a full hour, then the Chew at 1, General Hospital at 2, and then back to back Millionaire from 3-4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they've stated that the hour will be filled with Millionaire/Jeopardy hour of reruns. So no back-to-back Millionaires. Also seems the reruns will be paired together, so I think the new Millionaire will remain at 12:30. The only question I have is will the reruns air at 2pm or 3pm. Seems like General Hospital in Chicago and LA have moved GH back to its old long running time slot in those time zones (from 1pm C/P to 2pm C/P).

NYNewser_676 26 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 The schedule is out!! Starting September 8, Eyewitness News at Noon will be a full hour, from 12-1. The Chew at 1, Millionaire at 2, Daytime Jeopardy at 2:30, GH at 3, and Eyewitness News First at Four at 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1944 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I really wanted their 12pm to go a full hour. I never expected them to go through with it. Now here's where I find it puzzling. What would happen if Tyra's new panel talk show comes into fruition and air on the 2pm slot next year, are they going to move Millionaire back to 12:30? It would be stupid to expand the news past 12:30pm, only to eliminate it in Fall 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad 276 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Wow so an hour broadcast of Eyewitness News at Noon. Any idea on if David Novarro and Liz Cho will take over that slot or if it will be Lori Stokes and Ken Rosato? Because that would be incredibly long hours for the morning team. Being there from 3:30am to 1:00pm. What time do the morning anchors usually get to the station prior to the newscast? Do they usually have to be there at least and hour prior to actually map out the newscasts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe even David and Diana since they both only are on an hour a day but I guess they feel changing the team isn't a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtgh922 18 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 I hope they're getting OT for that shift. If you get in at 3 or 3:30 in the morning and don't leave until 1:30 or so in the afternoon, that's 10 hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewser_676 26 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Yeah but there's a chunk of time when they're not on the air between 7-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabceyewitness 767 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Yeah but there's a chunk of time when they're not on the air between 7-12 They're doing live hits during GMA and Kelly & Michael. Then, at 10am its planning, meeting and writing for the noon show.. so it's not like they have a 5 hour break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoseRM303 169 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Yeah but there's a chunk of time when they're not on the air between 7-12 Would the half hour updates they give during GMA be considered on air too? If so that means they are on air till 9 albeit just a few minutes each half during the GMA updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he meant they go 5 hours without an actual newscast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad 276 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I still think they have pretty long hours. From 3:00am to 1:00pm. That's long! They should use another team for the 12:00 Noon broadcast. If they want a quality broadcast they would do that out of respect for the hard working morning team. I feel like David Novarro & Liz Cho or Diana Williams and David Novarro. Because Diana is usually already there well before the 5:00pm broadcast. But then again when watching the noon broadcasts it's essentially a rehash of the morning news there's very little new content to see during the noon broadcasts especially since there are no promos for it. It's probably their "weakest" or "least" desirable newscast of the day. They can save the good content and stingers for the higher rated broadcasts like the 4-6 ones.

cbs2newengland 71 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Are you people naive to think once an anchor get cleared at 12:27 you start to go downstairs and punch out? The same for a Fox morning news program, they're out at the studio at 10:15 and go on with their day at the local mall, the park, etc, etc? No. Most anchors if they are not on camera are on standby so in case of a breaking news story, they can stop whatever they are doing and go back on set and cover the breaking news. Same for the late night crew. Depending on the contract, daypart and station, they could be hanging out for at least a couple hours after their last newscast of the day.
