TVJayFOX 10 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Channel 2 does Robb Ellis so dirty. Weekend mornings...really he's been there for awhile and all these new people always get better shifts he's worth so much more than to be put on a newscast no one is watching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an ideal schedule, but is he not doing both weekend shifts? Meanwhile, Laura Bannon has been out for several weeks, and it seems like there was a death in her family. That left Albert and Ed picking up some morning shifts, recently, and now fellow former NewsNation meteorologist, Gerard Jebaily, is even filling in.

Georgie56 3059 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 A 10am streaming newscast is coming Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 3059 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) The 7-9am streaming newscast (and presumably the new 10am stream) has moved from the newsroom to the main set and Brad Edwards now has a co-anchor — Audrina Sinclair. It’s also taken on a much lighter tone compared to the hard news format it previously had. Edited September 11, 2023 by Georgie56 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5269 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) 'Streaming wirh Brad' had already been lightening up, as evidenced by at least the last few weeks' 7am shows being streamed on YouTube.

Georgie56 3059 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Was wrong about the new 10am stream being on the main set. It’s back in the newsroom, anchored by Brad solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrschimpf 2051 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Chopper 2 (and its pilot) got a bird smash through the cockpit this morning in Kenosha. Thankfully superficial injuries to the pilot and they were able to land safely near the state line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary stuff, and interesting story, but I cannot believe they led with it and called it "breaking news" when they already had time to put together a package. It affects none of the viewers. Maybe it was an otherwise slow news day locally? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffrey 779 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 What a strange way to mark Halloween. I wonder if they were inspired by WMAQ's 75th anniversary celebration and wanted to get in on the reminiscing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprise she is cutting back her time (with her husband in FL and all...). Sounds like she's not ready to retire and they figured out a way to keep her on board. Good for all involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5269 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Gerard Jebaily is now in Baltimore, Mary Kay is semi-retired, and now Robb Ellis is apparently gone from the weather team. His bio was removed from the station website, last week, and his social media bios have been similarly updated. A listing for a full-time meteorologist position was posted in mid-January.
