For everyone talking about bobble head Ravi, I don't the open with Linda Yu who looks like she is talking and has Her mouth open. I think I saw it in the 4 pm open someone posted
PS I hate it when they don't give a longtime on air personality the ability to sign off diplomatically one last time. I can understand if they are leaving to join a rival station--think Diann Burns--I get it, but in a case like this or with Sylvia Perez, they should have given Mike Caplan the ability to say goodbye and thank you to the loyal viewers.
Sad to see him get the boot after so many years. Very personable on air and I've been watching his forecasts since I was a kid. Channel 7 bosses have been making some pretty boneheaded moves lately. Hopefully will see him on another station in Chicago soon.
Wish they would use the set like originally intended or just overhaul it completely and build a new one. I absolutely hate the way they only use a cramped, small corner of their expansive studio with tight camera angles. So lame that they have their guests sit on uncomfortable stools at that "news desk" during long election coverage.
I do wish they'd bring back their original sunrise open with the drum shot and the great music. They play less and less of their lead in/lead out bumper music too which is unfortunate because it really is great and brands the show.
I saw that today too. I like Ben Tracy but having him there just to do headlines from around the globe is pointless. When are Charlie and Gayle going to be back? Not a fan of Jeff Glor or Vinita Nair on the show. Anthony Mason is a better fill in for Charlie and Margaret Brennan has filled in a few times too. Where are they?
