For those if you're keeping score: (weather was done outside live in various towns powered by the CBS 2 Mobile Weather Lab with Vanessa Murdock (in Manhattan and NJ) in the AM, Lonnie Quinn (in Westport, CT) (who was pre-recorded Thursday) in the PM, John Elliot (in Newark) on Saturday. Wednesday night & Thursday morning (3/12), they used the CBSN New York studio and graphics with Dick Brennan at 11pm and Chris Wragge in the AM. Noon (both days): Inside Edition aired. 5-6:30pm (both days): DeMarco Morgan (who used to work at WNBC from '08 to '12) anchored from KCBS' studio. 9pm (both nights): Inside Edition and Entertainment Tonight aired instead of CBSN New York at 7pm 9pm on WLNY. 11pm/E (both nights): Pat Harvey with Jaime Maggio (Thu) & Kristin Smith (Fri) on sports anchored from KCBS' studio (while KCAL is live nearby). Friday and Saturday morning: Elizabeth Cook anchored from KPIX's studio. No local news updates as they chose to do a CBS News update from DC as it would've interfere with KPIX's AM news and the national map for the local weather update. I think should cancel the weekend morning newscast & WLNY's news this weekend and focus only on the 6 & 11 shows whoever will be producing them. (According to TitanTV, they are doing just that, News is on at 9am.) It could been worse, luckily for the mild winter NYC had, there was no severe weather to deal with. For the KCBS/KCAL's, KPIX's and WBZ's anchors and the production crews as well, this is for you: Here's the AM open from KPIX:

I posted a poll on what you do think will happen this Wednesday at Noon on WNEP. Poll closes at 11:30 am Wednesday. https://forms.gle/m78Gt7Mqq1NRQnre7

Careful now.

It would at least until Summer 2021 before Today decides to expand again since DoOL is renewed until that time. https://tvline.com/2020/01/29/days-of-our-lives-renewed-season-56-nbc-kristian-alfonso/

KFSM's noon open: Click here and see my channel for the rest the opens.

The only way they'll get the fifth hour if "Days of Our Lives" goes bye-bye.

Plus at 5p & 11p has a weather open with Lee standing at the chroma instead of him at the desk during the full weather forecast.

MiNews 26 I mean NewsNet Northern Michigan has been reduced to a simulcast of the national channel with cut-ins at :12 & :42 every hour for local weather and :25 & :55 for local news. (Their livestream works now). High school sports now airs under the "NewsNet Sports" banner.

Steve left some gifts for WABC since he helps design some of the weather graphics the O&O's use. Here's a preview of those graphics. (Hint: look at the train on the left.)

The NewsNet opens: (I couldn't get the MiNews 26 (sorry, NewsNet Northern Michigan) feed, their video is not working.

Only on weeknights, weekends it's still branded "TV 10/55 News at 9".

Last week Tuesday, News 12 Bronx/Brooklyn debuted the weather graphics. It's similar to WPIX's weather graphics and the other N12's don't have them yet. However sad news for the News 12 Bronx/Brooklyn family, former lead anchor Kevin McCabe passed away today. He was with Cablevision for over 30 years and with N12BX from day one from '98 to '17. http://bronx.news12.com/story/41408638/former-news-12-anchor-kevin-mccabe-passes-away

Looks good so far.

I’m still holding my opinion on the new graphics, I have to see it fully myself. But compared to this down here now, it’s a godsend.

So far only Brooklyn/The Bronx has the new graphics, the weather graphics are still the same for now. The ticker is way too small.

The last time Chapin's voice was heard in NYC was between 2004-06 on WNYW, and on WNBC from 1995-03. Man, he sounds awful.

NY1's morning meteorologist Stacy-Ann Gooden has left the station after 2 years. I don't know if former News 12 full timers Mike Favetta or Sally Ann Mosey will convert full time to NY1 and/or move chief meteorologist John Davitt (who works midday) or evening meteorologist Erick Adame to mornings or hire a new person. (No listings have been posted.)

News 12 BK/BX studios are in Soundview on Soundview Ave in the Bronx. HV/WC's studios is in LI's studios in Woodbury Crossings (weekend HV/WC's newscasts are done on the LI's main set), and CT's studio is in NJ's studios inat Edison.

Last week, Good Day New York switched to Beyond leaving the weekend morning hourly update having the old theme. Love the hip hop mix open. 4:30-7am open: 7-9am open:

KLTV's open: KTRE's open:

WGGB/WSHM Dave Madsen's last day is Friday after 27 years at channel 40, 13 years at WWLP and nearly 50 years of being in Springfield media from WMAS radio to Western Mass News. https://www.westernmassnews.com/news/looking-back-at-dave-madsen-s-career/article_24858d02-b229-11e9-905c-877a4624e51f.html

Get the f... outta here?!, should called it Wake Up Kentuckiana instead.

After a quick email, the stream is working again and with that my follow TVNT'ers, I present to you: WMC Action News 5.

I had to delete my opens thanks to FIFA, but I left the 10pm rejoin up. KLMO 7.2 has the new evening opens.
