anchorman 93 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Figured this deserved it's own thread: WNYW GM Lew Leone confirmed that Kelly is indeed leaving GDNY: We want to thank Greg to his years of service. He has been an integral part of the FOX 5 team and we wish him the best of luck in the future Tomorrow is Greg's last show. We will probably never know the truth, but it looks like this wasn't Greg's choice. A total head-scratching move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColDayNews 437 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Is he returning to Fox News? What'll become of him? Either way, all the best to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 269 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 What the hell are they thinking!? Plus also find it weird that Steve will be doing double duty.. according to the NY Post.. Greg will address his next move during the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Newsroom 1149 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Oh well. That's that (...again). I wish Greg luck wherever he goes. (...again.) The station just doesn't learn. I will laugh my ass off when the first ratings come in. (...again.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing is, they don't have much competition besides PIX11 in terms of local news 7-10am. PIX11 Morning News is in an even weaker position now post-Sukanya and Scott.

Vlad 276 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Yeah, its a very risky chance, personally I don't think Fox 5 and their style is the right fit for Lori's delivery. But it is TV and things just happen magically on TV right? So maybe it might be a nice turn out after all. I remembered one biggest reasons for her departure at WABC was the start time. But I guess GDNY starts at 7am so I guess she doesn't have to wake up as early haha. Either way though Greg Kelly and Rosanna were perfect for GDNY. I just can't see Lori really making that show fun like Greg did, Lori's demeanor is just too calm for what that show is. Honestly I don't think its Lori's domain. I love Lori Stokes and I think this move is setting her up for a possible failure.. :/ Guess we'll have to give her a chance and see how it plays out though.

nydem2015 51 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Perhaps Greg did something inapporiate behind the scenes and WNYW decided to give him the ax as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nydem2015 51 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Greg didn't announce where he's going next tho it does seem like he has a plan. Maybe Rosanne and Lori will work out. We shall see. If not I think Rosanna will be the one to leave not Lori. I got the feeling he's going to another NYC tv station since he said he couldn't say yet where he'll end up.

nydem2015 51 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Some possibilities for Greg. WCBS: Perhaps Maurice DuBois is moving to the network and Greg is taking over for Maurice. WNBC: Perhaps David Ushery is leaving WNBC and Greg is taking over for him. WABC: Very unlikely tho perhaps Diana or Bill is retiring and Greg is taking over for one or the other. WPIX: Perhaps John Mueller is leaving WPIX and Greg is taking over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only station that might actively pursue him is WB CW PIX11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Kelly did indeed work evenings at Fox 5 for a short while it didn't last long it was while Dave Price was there for that short time: http://www.newsday.com/news/new-york/greg-kelly-leaving-good-day-for-evening-anchor-gig-1.3811737 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfomspphl 453 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Wonder if the order of events was... Greg gets new gig, lets WNYW know in advance he's leaving end of September WNYW goes after Lori WABC forces her off the air as soon it learns she's accepted the competitor gig That would be the situation where Rosanna and Lori have the best shot of getting along. But the reverse - WNYW going after Lori, then telling Greg time to leave after she confirmed.... Hard to know which it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnbc2016 23 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I think where Greg lands might be telling of that. I have a feeling he might end up at WPIX as an evening anchor. If GDNY doesn't work out with Lori and Rosanna we might see Lori remain at GDNY and Rosanna go back to evenings. Remember she co-anchored evenings from 1994-2008. Wonder if the order of events was...

NYNews 54 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I don't see Greg at WPIX. I don't see him adding anything to the table. John Muller is a better anchor anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
