So basically, she was perfect for that show.

If you read the article, the weekend version will be lighter fare, so there should be no heated arguments. I get it’s not your cup of tea, but the ratings and ad money still make it worth continuing the show.

A weekend edition of The View will launch on ABC News Live on the 11th.

I live by this simple rule: If you don't have anything nice to say about something or someone, then don't say anything.** **Personal exceptions are allowed. For me it's my former spouse, congestion tolling in New York City, and the incoming president.

All of the stations (including Spectrum News 1) are streaming on YouTube right now so simulcasting the same feed on the national streaming nets is pretty well duplicative, so that can be justified. And I think NBCNN is trying to stay in-format as much as possible for that same reason as they know the local folks are doing a better job covering everything than anyone in New York can.

So Rosanna isn't even trying to hold up the guise of an objective journalist....not that she's good at hiding her opinions anyway. But from her days with Greg Kelly it was very obvious -- even though not explicitly stated -- that they were Trump supporters. Thats fine for FNC but not for the local broadcasts which already live in the shadow of the "Mother Ship's" bias.

It is one disappointing aspect of MSNBC - not covering live breaking news as strongly as others. I'm also not sure what is up with NBC News yesterday. Even their coverage of President Jimmy Carter's arrival in DC, memorial at the Navy Memorial, and procession to the Capitol was minimal and focused only on the rotunda ceremony. ABC and CBS both had more comprehensive coverage. As a NBC viewer, I was disappointed.

Norah’s last newscast has moved up a day due to golf.

That wasn’t Carter’s funeral, it was his lying in state service at the Capitol; his funeral takes place Thursday (January 9).

In all fairness to you, we all criticize shows etc on this message board that we don't like. Yes, everything is not for everybody but we are all free to point out things about a show that we think are not good. The View sustains an audience which justifies its expansion from a ratings and financial standpoint, but I totally understand your frustration with the show. It went from a show about multigenerational women talking about life and a variety current events, to mostly middle-aged women parroting/arguing over one sided talking points while hiring an outrageous conservative to stir the pot and gang up on. But as others appointed out we are free to not watch.

NBC was also pretty late coming into Jimmy Carter's *lying in state* coverage with a special report. NBC News now was just running it as a headline but not doing full-blown coverage until a Special Report at about 4:00 p.m. Eastern. In all fairness ABC and CBS were covering it, so there were options, but it was still surprising. Overall fantastic and compelling coverage from all stations especially KTTV and KABC. This is more dramatic than any hurricane coverage I've ever seen.

What a terrible situation Angelinos are going through. Just completely awful.

What’s not to get? The audience for the show likes the show. Not every show is for every person. This isn’t yours? Awesome. But it is for someone else, and that’s what matters.

I've seen reporters from KGO and KFSN reporting for KABC's coverage.

I'm watching KNBC right now and they mentioned they are committed to 24 hour coverage and they are borrowing reporters from across the country to help with coverage. Right now they have Dave Summers from KNSD reporting in Altadena.

Chances are you're not in the show's target demo. If you aren't, and you don't watch the show, then there is no reason for you to complain.

Oh cool, more fights and heated arguments. Again, it should've been canceled a long time ago, and yet is being expanded. I really don't get it.

FOX 11 was entertaining Rick Caruso’s crazy statements 15 minutes ago but otherwise they and the other stations have been doing a good job covering this fire.

Full circle.... McSweeny is retiring months before his former WTEN colleague Steve Caporizzo retires... Which you also mentioned. Glitch...

Irrespective of one’s own opinions on congestion pricing, I’m surprised at the lack of MTA perspective in most reporting. Most reporting I’ve caught over the last few weeks focuses entirely on the citizen’s angst or support about the tolls and does little to share why the MTA is implementing them.

Yeah there is a lot of hidden opposition in the reporting there is a bit of resentment in it across the board on all of the news stations.

Companies will see the MTA Money Grab as a cost of doing business, just like regular tolls on bridges, tunnels, parkways and turnpikes. As long as Disney (Paramount, NBCU, Nexstar, oops, I mean Mission and Fox) reimburse employees when covering stories the impact is more palatable to producing and on air staff. The one's getting hurt are those that have to commute into the city via private vehicles that don't normally get reimbursed for tolls. I would think many of them already take mass transit.

And now they'll be in the congestion pricing zone, which they were not at the current studio. It's been mildly amusing seeing reporters who you know are going to be affected by it do stories about it. Fox5 will be the only one outside the zone.

Because TEGNA is eliminating marketing and community affairs departments across the country, it will force one Columbus news legend to say goodbye to WBNS come January 17th. https://www.yahoo.com/news/columbus-tv-legend-angela-pace-182133572.html

52 years in television news (mostly in Buffalo) ended today for Don Postles. He's now off to retirement.
