NewsJunkie247 1 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I too wish Jim all the best. About the news regarding WNBC, I think that this will help them in the ratings. I believe they came in 3rd place overall in this past May sweeps period, because I read an article today that said WCBS came in 2nd place overall, and WABC is usually #1. Sue and David will make a good team and Chuck and Sue are just...well...THE BEST! I think Michael Gargiulo and Lynda Baquero should co-anchor a mid-day broadcast at 11 AM following The Today Show, and can remain as reporters on the early-evening broadcasts.

PunditWannabe 0 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I've grown to like and respect Jim as an anchor, and I thought he and Dana were good together. But I suspect he'll be picked up somewhere else -- he's experienced and a class act. I just don't understand the decisions made at CBS2. I mean, taking a chance on Wragge was a bold move -- and one I've generally come to respect. Chris has really grown into the position. Still hate Christine Johnson, and Lonnie Quinn is the biggest buffoon I've seen doing weather in a long time (and I think their co-branding with Weather Channel just reinforces that the local team is weak; they need to get their forecasts from the real meteorologists in State College, PA!!)

NewsJunkie247 1 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Just as a side note, Maurice DuBois anchored solo at noon today and Chris anchored the 6PM newscast with Kristine, who was filling in for Dana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moshewx 19 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I think that Jim Rosenfield was a very good anchor. Granted I only watched him during his tenure at WNBC, but he was great there. He had good chemistry with Sue Simmons and was very professional. I could have seen him replace Chuck Scarborough when the latter retired someday.
