That's a big change from the initial reporting that the channel was ending. As you said it appears FiOS is just changing their partnership for production of the newscasts.

Andrew Brill from ESPN NY is filling in doing the reports. He did the morning taped report and is back at 5 PM.

The two video panels on the front of news desk were replaced.

Janice was on for 11 PM.

The before and after of the changes of the video wall set for in studio interviews and weather forecasts. In addition to changing the video panels to a solid screen they added two dark blue panels to the top and bottom on the right side.

It's official

She changed her twitter handle to @EricaGrowNYC.

I'm pretty sure when her contact was renews she mentioned that she would be doing more than traffic. That's why she subs for Mary and is anchoring on CBSN NY. Kristine Johnson updated why she has been off air.

For morning newscast they have ditched the "Traffic & Weather on the 2s" branding and reduced the amount of traffic reports. The full traffic reports were done at 5:15, 6:00. They did shorter "Commuter Alert" segments at 6:15, 6:22. 6:44. 6:53. Alex also did a segment called "Happening Today" at 4:38., 5:38, 6:36.

Elise was subbing for John this morning. Jeff Berardelli is subbing for Vanessa. Scott Rapoport is subbed Friday night and is on tonight doing sports.

Rob mentioned this morning that they were using the newsroom studio because their main studio was receiving technical upgrades this weekend. Curious what they are upgrading? The only thing I’ve noticed on TV is the chromakey wall didn’t seem to be keying in the graphics cleanly since they came back on after the blackout.

They had the camera shot wider to fit the ACCUWEATHER logo at the top of the frame.

John Marshall was subbing for Elise today.

Sorry for getting repetitive. I agree in general it's not a big deal, except when they are the only local TV station to not have someone sub when the regular traffic reporter is out I do find that odd. In other CBS2 news, noticed Nina Kapur, previously with News 12 Connecticut, joined WCBS in June as a reporter.

Alex was off. No traffic reports today. Jenna DeAngelis, who has subbed doing traffic, was in studio reporting and could have done the traffic reports.

He was subbing with Sandra Bookman today for morning and noon newscasts.

WABC made another change replacing the video screen in the AccuWeather Center. Here's what it looked like in 2018 and Friday.

Find it odd the morning after severe storms, that caused major flooding in some areas, WCBS had no full traffic reports this morning. Alex was not there today and they only did a few quick "Commuter Alert" segments.

Steve Overmyer did the sports segment this morning.

Dick Brennan did the recorded sports report this morning. Did he do the sports report last night?

Due to the Manhattan power outage, WNBC is doing their 11 PM newscast from WNJU Telemundo 47. There are no graphics and the color of the video does not look right.

Kaity Tong and Dan Mannarino are anchoring coverage of the Manhattan power outage.
