abc7 Man 25 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I am assuming this is for a general assignment reporter position... I am not aware of any news anchor openings at ABC7. http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/reporter-david-novarro-returning-to-wabc_b21910 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nynewslover 269 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I remember a while back that someone posted that WABC was looking for a Sportscaster and an Anchor...I never actually saw the post on their website and never heard anything about any of the anchors leaving but i guess its possible.

Sports director Scott Clark is retiring next month and weekend sports anchor Rob Powers will take over his spot on weeknights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad 276 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 What could he possibly do though? The station is not in need of any new news anchors at least not to my knowledge. I don't see anything wrong with their current anchor lineup as well. Unless someone is stepping down from their position. I don't see a need for an additional anchor for WABC. Is he planning on doing sports because thats what they are in need of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, my guesses are leaning towards a reporter/fill-in anchor (for the time being, at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he may be on tap to anchor that newscast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5269 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 wait...so would that mean that the news would be from 4-6:30? KABC has been doing that for I-don't-know how long. But just a little off-topic, would KABC then go with news from 3 to 6:30? That would be even more ridiculous... ...Now back on topic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliverolang 41 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I read that KABC would pick up the Dr. Oz show next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsLover 727 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I read that KABC would pick up the Dr. Oz show next year. Yes, that is true. KABC will pick up Dr. Oz next year, so their void will be filled by that. But I keep reading over and over that most of the O&Os that carry Oprah will go to news at 4pm.

But I keep reading over and over that most of the O&Os that carry Oprah will go to news at 4pm. I'm not sure that news at 4 pm works in New York. Next fall should be interesting. Whatever replaces Oprah at 4pm will have a huge impact on whether or not WABC maintains it's long-running 5 & 6pm crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsLover 727 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I believe David Novarro is filling in as anchor on the weekends and general assignment reporting. I also don't see the station launching a 4pm newscast after Oprah. What works for stations in LA or DC may not work in NYC. Channel 2 had a 4pm newscast twice and failed twice. I don't necessarily think that news at 4pm is a good idea either. All I am saying is that I have read it in numerous articles that most abc o&o will go with news at 4 pm. I don't see why Wabc would do otherwise. Most of the articles cite that it is cheaper for the stations to go this route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewsguy 66 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Unless a synidie that can pull ratings at 4, (like Judge Judy) becomes available or ABC decides to get creative to fill the gaps at their O&O's... I do believe the current plan is for a 4PM newscast on channel 7. It would be anchored by the current evening team... More than likely Sade & Diana at 4&6 and Bill & Liz at 5 & 11. Or some combination of them. I've even heard Diana & Bill at 4&6, Sade & Liz at 5... and Bill & Liz at 11... but I think that's getting a bit too creative. Change isn't popular at WABC, and losing Oprah will be a big change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nynewsguy 66 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Yes, with the debut of the Super Duper Mega Studio, right? Hey, say what you want about the studio. Had it not been for Disney cutting back on budgets around the country, TV13 was going to be totally made over. the plans were in-house, and designs were drawn up. It included moving R&K.

TellyGenic 32 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Yes, David used to have a mustache. He's not growing it back. He said to me in an email that he looks better without it. Well, speaking as a viewer, I disagree. Did he have the mustache when he was anchoring in Chicago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
