They were testing out the new studio this weekend. Star Harvey said in an IG story "Just a few more weeks."

Am I correct that WNBC is the only local channel mixing their newscast audio for DD 5.1?
The music and sound effects play on the front left and right audio channels and the anchors and reporters are on the center audio channel.

PIX11 is no longer live streaming newscasts. The newscasts now stream on a delay.

At 10pm the 5pm newscast is being rebroadcast.

Ken and Shirleen were on 4:30-7am.

As of this morning anchors are no longer social distancing and back to pre pandemic seating. That makes WABC the only station that has anchors still sitting further apart.. which if postings from the morning team are an indication that will be ending soon. 

I was wondering when they would go back to normal. I thought the current anchor spacing on WABC, which is closer than it was during the pandemic, was done to leave room to display graphics on the video wall behind them?

Those with FIOS can still watch the PIX11 newscasts on PIX11 website and app.

They still don't have an app for TV streaming devices since the change in ownership.

WPIX is gone from FiOS. "Our contract with Nexstar ended on October 14, 2022 and your Fios TV package contains Nexstar channels.  We currently do not have the rights to show their programming. We are trying our best to reach a reasonable deal with Nexstar and hope Nexstar will restore its channels to our lineup soon."

The first episdoe of the new Showtime series "Let the Right One In" uses a simulated newscast from WCBS.

This is the studio used for the local news update during NBC News Daily.

Sam Champion was just announced as part of the cast of Dancing With The Stars. 

Mike Marza was in for Bill tonight. Has he anchored the weekday 6pm newscast before?

This month marks 15 years at WABC for Jeff Smith. Bill mentioned it, as they showed a photo of Jeff with the award, before going to Jeff for the forecast during the 6pm newscast.

I could be wrong, but I don’t think they aired this on Ch. 7 proper, just on streaming. Still, you’d think they’d at least get a better angle of the parade.

Correct, it was only streamed on abc7NY, which would explain why they did not do a full broadcast.

National Dominican Day Parade broadcast on abc7NY is very odd. There are no hosts, the broadcast is one camera,  you can't see the performance stage, which is to the right of the camera, and people are standing in front of the camera.

Former WCBS reporter and QVC host Katie McGee will be subbing for Heather on the traffic reports.

She currently works for Total Traffic who provides the WABC traffic data.

Heather has been doing traffic reports at home due a possible covid exposure.

Checking tonight, there was 7 min of local news at the start of CBS News New York Now from Kristine Johnson in studio.

Alice Gainer did a report and it was dark outside, she said she was live, though there was no live bug on screen.

After that they went to CBS News anchor Tom Hanson. At 9:20pm they did have a local weather forecast.

Another local news update ran again around 9:34pm.

What does that mean it was done by KTXA? A station from Texas?

Yes, KTXA produced the newscast which was shown on WLNY and other sister CBS stations. This means there is no CBS2 produced newscast on WLNY at 9pm.

Only caught the end of CBS News New York Now on WLNY, it appears from the credits, the newscast was done by KTXA and was not shown on CBS News New York.

It’s basically the isolation cam… used when an anchor has a close exposure that requires masking at all times when around others, or when is returning to work symptom free after 5 days but before 10 days and still requires a mask. 

Thanks, that was my guess for why they were using the flash cam studio. Shirleen Allicot was using it this morning. Mike was in studio.

Noticed for the noon newscast, Lauren is in studio and David looks like he's using the same alternate space that Bill Ritter used.

Odd they did not try to match the framing for both camera shots.

Saw a promo on WLNY that "CBS News New York Now" starts July 18th at 9pm.

Sorry for the late reply, I just saw this. Jeff Chirico's LinkedIn says he left in November, and is now a realtor full-time. Erin O'Hearn's page still says she is there, though.

She’s anchoring on MSNBC today.
