It honestly makes sense to rotate the four weekday weather people for the interim. They can do the same thing they did this weekend next weekend but substitute David Murphy in place of Karen Rogers. There are no early evening newscasts on Saturday because of college football, so it’s easy for Chris to do Saturday morning and night, and then Sunday night. And then the following weekend, they can have Adam and Cecily split the weekend again, and whoever does Saturday can get Monday off in addition to Sunday, And whoever does Sunday can get Friday off in addition to Saturday, that way they each still have two days off, with the working meteorologist just handling all the evening/night newscasts on Friday and Monday respectfully.

Last weekend Adam handled Saturday evening while Cecily handled Sunday evening.

Where’d you get this info from? His tweet clearly say he’s joining WNBC, not freelancing. And I’ve seen nothing that says it will only be reporting, and not anchoring too.

It’s just Walter on Saturdays. Sarah co-anchors with him Sunday nights, and she usually has off Fridays (in which Jeanette usually subs for her at noon and Alicia subs at 4pm). For a while (mid-March until a few weeks ago) because of the pandemic Sarah was working from home and instead was working M-F and Walter was soloing during that period on Sundays.

So it’s likely David was off or unavailable as he seems to be George’s backup for chief anchor and breaking news.

I think it has more to do with CBS and NBC’s prime time and sticking with channel you’re already watching.

Whit and Cecilia seem to be the common backups on weekends and after Tom on weekdays. I actually enjoy Dan on GMA weekend and don’t think he’s best suited for evenings. And I feel like you guys are in the minority here. People are tuning in so people do like David and Tom’s style of delivery.

This is where ABC excels in looking to the future. They know how to identify rising stars and put them in a position to be ready to slide into a bigger role. CBS should take note.

Based on articles above, it seems logical to deduce that Rosemary is going to weekend evenings. Always seemed stupid that they moved her to weekdays to anchor a 45-minute newscast. They overloaded on weekday anchors and now have to spread who’s left over more newscasts.

I like the move of Keith and Erin to mornings as I feel they have the right personalities for it. But this leaves a lot of questions. Who will anchor at 11am? What happens to Lucy and Rosemary? Will Tracy be solo at 4&5, will she get a new co-anchor, or will Jim and Jackie split those shifts?

On an aside, I saw Rosemary Conners is back on And was anchoring Saturday night. also, saw Vai and Tracy will only be on together through next week. Not sure if that means both in studio or on air. Thought he wasn’t retiring until November.

Technically they are still on 40.2. The reason they’ve kept the name is probably because of brand recognition. And if they were to rebrand, I think ABC Central Alabama would make more sense.

Not sure when this happened, but saw that Sarah was back in the studio at noon today.

Is Krystal filling Britney’s weekday evening shifts?

Wasn’t he let go because of Diana? She wanted off 6/11, and was reassigned to 5, bumping him to weekends to finish out his contract.

Surprised they are not utilizing Sara anymore on The View either.

It’s probably safe to assume that this is the case at other NBC O&Os too.

Wow, that came out of no where. I always liked Denise. Hopefully someone will pick her up somewhere. It sounds about the same time Rosemary is coming back from maternity leave. I wonder if she’ll be moved to weekend evenings. That schedule might work better for her as a mom of a newborn, and Erin & Lucy (or evening Keith) are fine handling the 11am.

And Jeanette is co-anchoring with Walter tonight.

Tracy is co-anchoring with Stephania this morning.

Nydia is back in studio co-anchoring with Gray today.

Keith Jones in the newsroom co-anchoring with Denise tonight (Saturday) because of the protests.

Sharrie is co-anchoring with Walter tonight (Saturday). I assume it’s because of the coverage of the protests.

Could easily see Marza jump ahead of the other two when the time comes.

Just wondering, has anyone seen Jaclyn Lee anchor yet? I wonder if she was just hired as a fill-in anchor or if they intend her to be Walter’s co-anchor on weekends evenings as some of have speculated.
