Is Cindy full-time co-anchor of the weekend am newscasts again?

It's not her. I find in general the audio of the anchors and reporters in studio is has an overall loud and bassy sound and sounds even worse if they do talk louder.

The newscast after the baseball game has a "RECORDED EARLIER" on the top right. There is no current time or temp next to the FOX5 bug.

The top gray bar is no longer always on the screen which is an improvement. It does stay on for some segments.

It looks even worse when nothing else is on the screen.

The white and gray stripes at the top and bottom of the screen from the new graphics are ugly and need to go. Also the lighter gray bar with the social media info is unnecessary. That should be on the right side. It's annoying enough to keep me from watching the newscasts.

The camera shot looked awful when the sun hit the dirty window.

Understood, just odd how the timing worked out. Dan and Lisa were anchoring at 5am today.

They did not even go a full week with the new anchor teams. Scott is off Thursday and Friday with Anthony DiLorenzo subbing for him Thursday.

I noticed Raegan Medgie from The Weather Channel is now a reporter for CBS2 News.

People on Twitter noting the reporters mics are not on. There was very loud distortion during the weather forecast. This appears to be an automation problem hence Chris noting there is no audio person to blame.

Bill Ritter is on 2pm-5pm.

FOX5 is doing at 30min newscast at 10pm tonight then airing is Street Soldiers hosted by Lisa Evers at 10:30pm.

Kaity and Brenda are anchoring the newscasts tonight. Marissa is doing weather. Andy doing sports.

Yes.

Sibila Vargas returned today and posted an note on twitter, Sibila Vargas ‏@Sibila4NY 6h6 hours ago Back with my A-Team @NBCNewYork . See you at 5, 6 and 11pm! Thanks for all the Love and Concern. #blessed

For the first time that I can think of WABC has moved network programming to 7.2 because the NY Giants NFL game is on WABC 7.1.

Former WCBS reporter Katie Mcgee is now a host on QVC.

Here's the WPIX article, http://pix11.com/2015/12/08/brenda-blackmon-will-join-pix11-as-anchor-station-to-launch-630-p-m-local-news-report-with-blackmon-and-kaity-tong/

Yeah and I was going to mention that.

I've noticed Bill Ritter has been the host of Up Close With Diana Williams for a couple months now. Is Diana returning to the show or are they going to rename the show?

Shiba Russell was subbing on Early Today on NBC.

I noticed they have the anchors in a small box on the top left and b-roll video in a larger box on the right when they intro some stories. It looks awkward and seems unnecessary.

Yes. The new vans are Nissan, [MEDIA=flickr]15499029151[/MEDIA]
