stevieboy247 42 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Does anybody know if WNBC will once again do their traditional Holiday Promos this year? I also wonder what Christmas song they will be singing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qunewsguy 376 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 The promotions department's been scrapped so I wouldn't bet on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im4NY4ever 0 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Oh boy, how pathetic that the tradition is broken. I always enjoyed the WNBC holiday greeting/song. So tell me, why is Zucker still employed - he and he alone broke this great network and station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So tell me, why is Zucker still employed - he and he alone broke this great network and station. Zucker and all the NBCU brass are still employed because they had one job to do -- focus on the bottom line and make NBC and its O&O stations profitable enough so that GE could demand a reasonable price when unloading NBC. Ratings may be down, but NBC is investing a bare bones budget in every sector, making the network and its stations quite profitable but stuck in the ratings cellar for years to come.

NYNews 54 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Anyone have a video? What song did they sing? WCBS' promo seems kind of cheesy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metropolitan 0 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 They sang "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" followed by everyone saying "Happy Holidays." On 2 talent wishes "Happy Holidays" and "Season's Greetings." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceManNYR 222 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 This version 30 second version has them singing "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" follow by "Feliz Navidad". I would guess it's running on Telemundio 47 also. You'll notice it was not done in one take cause Jonathan Dienst is in two different places. In one scene he's behind the Telemundo anchor. Here's the on camera people I recognize in the promo. Telemundo 47 - Jorge Ramos and Andrea Romero. LX TV - Siafa Lewis, George Oliphant, and Sara Gore News 4 - Jonathan Dienst, Erika Tarantal, Roseanne Colletti, Gabe Pressman, Bruce Beck, Chris Cimino, David Ushery, Melissa Russo, Megan Meany, Cat Greenleaf and Darlene Rodriguez. There's a "Happy Holidays" version that includes all the people listed above plus Chuck Scarborough, Greg Cergol, Lynda Baquero and Michael Gargiulo.

Geoffrey 779 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Too bad it wasn't snowing when they shot it... I know they usually try to wait for some snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonyz 26 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 looks like Sue isn't in these promos again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TellyGenic 32 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Since the promos are shot between the morning news and lunchtime, it's no surprise Sue is not there again - the lady doesn't rise before noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I heard about two years ago, Sue [and Chuck] arrives around 10 or 11 in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always been under the assumption that because they anchor the late news in addition to early evening newscasts at 5 and/or 6, that they arrive at around 2 or 3PM and get a dinner break between the early and late evening newscasts like most evening anchors. Also, I don't think I have ever seen Chuck or Sue anchor a news update or cover breaking news before 3 in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Lampstein 6 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 From what I heard about two years ago, Sue [and Chuck] arrives around 10 or 11 in the morning. Yeah, I highly doubt that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
