NBC 5 Chicago

I love how everyone is bashing her about being in this market. She has already been in this market for a few years already. I do agree with the statements about her delivery. Since she has been at ABC 7 her delivery seems to be lacking the intensity and flow since her days over at NBC 5. I chalk all of that up to nerves and getting use to the flow of a new station. She was a little lacking when she came to NBC 5 but she ended up being really good with her delivery. You also have to think a lot of this has happened very fast. She was hired at the end of December then given a new 7pm show. Within weeks was then promoted to the 4pm and 5pm show. That's a big jump in such a short time. Give her some time and she will get better.

Yes. However the first was only a few months after they debuted the new set. It coincided with the "skyline" monitors install. And they only made a slight change to the top. This seems to be a complete update.

Has anyone noticed the lack of shots of the weather center. During tonight's 10pm news I noticed as Brant stood at the desk behind him there was nothing but blue with an NBC 5 graphic. Gone was the white tones and monitors of the weather center. Kind of interesting that they are already refreshing the weather portion of the set.

I finally got home to see the 4:30, 5:00 and 6:00pm shows. I really like this update! The OTS has been updated as well. The weather day parts (tonight, tomorrow) and the 7 day have all been updated too. The bug FINALLY has been reverted back to TIME and TEMP instead of the temp and then time. They changed that years ago and it bothered me. I too wish the opens would have been upgraded with some video instead of the same static pictures. The city is too beautiful to have some weird static image for all day parts. Cant wait to see the ticker during the morning show tomorrow!

They debuted today? New opens? Or is it just the bug and lower third that are new? I saw the copyright last night at 10pm was the new lower third. I figured it would be this weekend or Monday when they would switch over.

I've posted entire newscasts before from WMAQ and nothings happened. Hes good.

It really bothers me that the cold open intros look better than the actual open itself! They put skyline video behind those graphics can they please do that for the opens? Their look is really good just a open refresh is needed.

Looks like ABC 7 is expanding their weekend morning news in response to NBC 5 expanding their weekend news starting this weekend. This was from Stacy Baca's Facebook page. She said this is the schedule for Saturday and Sunday mornings. Even though the graphic only depicts Saturday morning.
