JTT 21 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Who has been filling in for the station now that Fred Roggin left the station? Mario does the weekday sports segments. Who does the weekend sports segments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD TV 61 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Annabelle Sedano has been hired as a new 3PM and 5PM anchor: https://www.nbclosangeles.com/community/nbc4-names-annabelle-sedano-as-news-anchor/3115314/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTT 21 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Why didn't they promote Robert Kovacik to the 3 and 5pm newscast? I think when his contract is up, he'll be leaving the station. I thought either Kovacik or Brownlee were next in line to be promoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoseRM303 152 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 So we now know who will sit next to Colleen at 5pm, but do we have any word on who sits next to her at 11 pm and who’s going to sit next to Carolyn at 6 pm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveNews 283 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I assume Colleen will continue solo at 11pm. She definitely has the chops to lead the 11pm on her own, she already does it at 7pm. KCBS/KCAL has Pat Harvey anchor solo at 11pm (6pm as well). Marc Brown anchors KABCs 11pm solo. KNBC could complete the big three network trifecta with this arrangement.

Is there two meteorologists at 3 p.m.? This is what the release says: "Weekdays at 3 p.m., Sedano will anchor NBC4 News kicking off the station's afternoon news block alongside Meteorologists Shanna Mendiola and Stephanie Olmo."

The weekend weather anchors split that 3pm shift. One works like M-W, and the other takes Th-F, or something like that. I believe they do the same thing at 11am, too, and it's a pretty normal thing at many other stations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTT 21 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Her bio states that Sedano used to work for Univision in Los Angeles at KMEX 34. Will NBCLA have her anchor at Telemundo KVEA 52 in the future as well? If the anchors and reporters are bilingual, why not utilize that and have them report for both stations. That will help with their budget. Does anyone believe that Kovacik may get 6pm co anchor spot and be given the 7pm anchor spot while Williams go back to co anchor the 5pm and anchor the 11pm news?

I don't watch KNBC at those times so I didn't realize they split it which is why I was confused about the statement. I know KTLA does the same for its midday newscasts.

JTT 21 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) Why do they do that by having 2 weathercasters split the weekdays duties in the mid afternoon? Why does a station need 5 permanent weathercasters? I remember a while back, all KNBC had was Christopher Nance doing the morning newscasts weather and Fritz Coleman doing the evening newscast. On the weekends, they would have one of the co anchors reading the weather report with the weather maps on the screen. A few years later, Paul Johnson was asked to work 7 days a week, m - f doing traffic, and on the weekends the weather. I can understand the station having 4 weather casters, but not 5. If one of the 4 calls in sick, they can have a temp fill in. Or they can have one of the other 3 fill in for the person that called in sick.

JTT 21 Posted Friday at 04:10 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:10 PM Why doesn't NBCLA have an anchor who is of Asian background? Ted Chen used to be an anchor on the weekend morning news, but that was years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
