Another might be Scott Chapin voiced news promo is running today.

Sam and Heather were in today, but I noticed at 8:27 AM Amy was in for Sam and Alex was in for Heather. I wonder why both Sam and Heather had to leave during the 8 AM hour?

Does WABC have a new voice for their news promos?

Natalie Duddridge was subbing for Alex today. Jenna DeAngelis subbed the other days this week that Alex was off.

WNBC has done some updates to the studio. They added a silver frame around the large video screen. The higher floor for the area to the left of the news desk has been removed and they added sliver molding to the bottom of the walls. The desk next to the left of the video wall was not there today.

According to titantv.com the only replay of the 11 PM newscast is 2:37 am on Saturdays, though the FIOS guide says ABC World News Tonight is on then. The Tuesday-Friday overnight schedule is: 1:07 AM Jeopardy! 1:36 AM Tamron Hall. 2:35 AM ABC World News Tonight. 3:05 AM ABC World News Now.

Eyewitness News is doing an Internet only 6 PM newscast as college football is broadcast on WABC.

Does anyone know what is going on with "Live With Kelly & Ryan" announcer Tony Pigg? Since mid last week Ryan Seacrest has being doing the show intro.

Yes she was. Chris Wragge subbed for Andrea Grymes on Saturday morning. Lonnie Quinn subbed for Vanessa Murdok Saturday night. Jessica Layton subbed for Jessica Moore on the weekend evening newscasts.

The walls of the interview area got a remodel.

Yes the bottom is the new design.

Former WNBC reporter Kerry Barrett has started her own business doing media training and consulting. https://kerrybarrettconsulting.com Also this promo just ran on WNBC: "The only all local morning team is on Today In New York". What does that mean? Who on the other morning newscasts are not local to the tri-state area?

What I meant was, does any other station get rid of their "Traffic & Weather" branding then bring it back as CBS2 does?

Tuesday Alex was co-anchoring subbing for Mary and they used the "Weather on the 2s" branding, having Alex do limited traffic reports. Today Alex was off but Jenna DeAngelis‏ was subbing doing traffic and the "Traffic & Weather on the 2s" branding returned. Do any other stations do this?

Does anyone know if News 12 Varsity still exists or are they done doing high school sports? FiOS1 had been broadcasting high school sporting events and I wonder if they are done in November?

WNBC updated the 10-Day Forecast graphic.

They used the video screen to the right of the news desk during the 4 PM newscast.

I wonder if the change was in part due to complaints from viewers about the reduction of traffic reports? Few weeks ago Chris Wragge posted to his IG story a video that panned from him to Alex with text "For all those asking where the traffic reports are". By Friday traffic reports were deemed not important. Alex was off and they only did "Weather On The 2s".

Full traffic reports returned this morning as CBS2 brought back "Traffic & Weather On The 2s". Another change was Alex and Elise did the "CBSNewYork.com Top Trending Stories" and "2 Talkers" segments. "CBSNewYork.com Top Trending Stories" had been Alex, Chris and Mary and "2 Talkers" was Alex, Chris, Mary and Elise.

Amy said they were using the newsroom studio this morning due to renovations going on in the studio. Curious what else they might be upgrading?

Andrea Grymes announced on IG her second child is due in February.

WCBS played the National Anthem before the start of the morning newscast. Was able to get part of the video.
