With the new platform rolling out, it was pushed to the July time frame.

Morris' WXXV is adding a Noon newscast on its NBC channel beginning Feb. 1, 2016. The station recently added a 6-7 a.m. newscast on the NBC channel and a 7-8 a.m. newscast on its FOX channel. PROMO:

It wouldn't surprise me if some of the smaller groups that haven't been sold yet form one for the purposes of negotiating retrans and reverse compensation. It's their only chance at survival unless they want to be stripped of their affiliations or sold off...

Jim Donovan co-anchoring with Erika at noon. Let the weather chaos begin!

TVNewsCheck reports this morning that Cox & Meredith have formed a "cooperative" agreement in between the two groups to share some resources, including buying syndicated programming & equipment. The co-op doesn't include their respective stations in Atlanta (Cox's WSB & Meredith's WGCL).

Question, does anyone ever recall Ben Bradley anchoring the weekday 10? He pretty much doesn't fill in anymore, so if he was ever going to, it would've already happened. If so, he and Babich (99% sure) are the only anchors to not do the big show.

I totally agree with what you said about Jodi. Sure she was trashed upon at first since she replaced the legendary Kaity Tong and Jim Watkins, but her delivery was much better than Tamsen. Honestly I wasn't a huge fan of Jodi's delivery during the old PIX news at 10 but I think that was only because she was told to present the story in a certain way. IMO, If Jodi were to come back, PIX's ratings would get a boost. On a side note, I've been thinking, what if WPIX created a syndicated entertainment/talk show? I mean, they have Tamsen, Suki, and Oji for starters. Sure, Tamsen is not a great anchor, but she would be an outstanding entertainment show host in my opinion. They could have a lot of different guests talking about the latest celeb news and viral videos and trends. Tamsen is a good host, but she is miscast as a nightly news anchor. Also Kala Rama started today at PIX. I believe her first day is tomorrow on the anchor desk. Based on what I've seen of her, I like her delivery. I think she'll make for a pretty good anchor alongside Craig Treadway.
