I've said it before, but Jeff Zucker should never be entrusted with anything, ever again. The fact he's trying to have the article retracted is proof he's the Svengali behind the Orange one and all of his illusions and distortions of the truth....

https://6abc.com/6abc-hall-of-fame-lisa-thomas-laury-dave-roberts-walter-liss/13559168/ WPVI now has its own Hall of Fame at the station.

Can we get back to talking about the current ABC logo and the new O&O graphics package please? I swear we get carried away by the smallest things in these threads. All I can say about the new O&O package now that we've seen the full package on WLS is... I don't really like the look of the graphics. It's too cluttered for a (somewhat) simple package. Very few packages have successfully shown the 3D look with simple gradients (both the current CBS O&O look and NBC O&O look). The only thing I can give the look credit for is the time, temperature, and current weather conditions ticker in the opens.

Funny commercial! What's happening with Tamron Hall? Her show cancelled? Wonder who the hosts will be? Also, and this is industry-wide... how many hours of news do we possibly need in one day?! This means on air 4-7 AM, streaming from 7-?? (not sure), now 10 AM, Noon, 4-6:30 PM, streaming at 6:30, 10 PM on PHL 17 (though who knows if that continues?), 11 PM. Let's just have Action News 24/7! Kidding, of course... though they'd probably make a better 24 hour news network than CNN...

True I loved the new graphics, the time temp and current conditions in the open are good. But that Chicago how will it work in Raleigh-Durham, how will it work in New York, or Philadelphia I mean you're talking about traditions and modernizing them. Like WABC they not gonna axe there talent opens they tired that in late 1999-2004. It was so bad at some point in that time they stopped doing it all together really in 2001 they stopped it. WPVI is not gonna get rid of there iconic open except for the title card. WLS has only been the one that's progressive minded when it comes to modernizing things like tweaking there iconic legacy-stimulus theme music. Bringing back “Eyewitness News” moniker, changing there set. Having had several retirements from it perfect news team, and they've easily gotten viewers accustomed to a new generation of news anchors.

Last month, WAVY demolished their former set (debuted back in 2016). They're currently anchoring from a temp set behind a chroma key. Let me add this tidbit. Their last two sets debuted on July 21 (2008 & 2016). Could this happen for a third time?.....

Jesus Christ. Talk about having a living nightmare. I hope she beats it out

He's not the only one trying to get it retracted. So are a number of journalists.

One ounce of research would make it fairly clear that Tamron is returning for the new season, while Rachael Ray has ended. Therefore, Tamron is moving to afternoons.

A weekend schedule is best on major holidays. Even normal local shift workers wouldn't likely need the news before about 5 or 6 am then.

Some of the stations I have worked for have pre-empted AM newscasts on some of those holidays.

Why is all this being discussed here? There's a new thread for the 2023-24 season.

Yes they did. After the repack forced them off of 50, they went back to "4".

I want to compliment CBS 2 on a great tribute to a great woman. They really did a classy job honoring Elise Finch with the service that went from around 10:34 until 2pm. Dave Carlin spoke, as did Maurice DuBois. They had a video of everyone’s memories of her, too. She is going to be missed dearly, but CBS 2 has been classy the entire time since announcing her passing. I’m sure there were more in the church but I spotted Dana and Dick sitting together, which was nice to see her colleagues honoring her. Rest easy, Elise. Thank you for a great 16 years at the station. You will be forever missed!

I don’t think the morning news is going away when WPHL gets The CW. They have no reason to cancel it.

I like this. It’s unique and they differed from the first Hearst HD package. However I am surprised that this was 2013 and they didn’t get the diagrid 1.0 before the Olympics.

When the font is that small, lower case letters tend to be harder to read...

Let's hope they get new graphics along with the new set!

NY1 midday anchor Ruschell Boone is on medical leave again. She came back in March after spending 9 months following treatment for pancreatic cancer. https://nypost.com/2023/07/27/ny1-anchor-ruschell-boone-reveals-cancer-has-metastasized/

WKYT has that “Mid-Morning” branded newscast at 10am. At one time they aired Bold and Beautiful at 10:30am. Now it’s a full hour.
