Seems like a good opportunity to rotate Sandra and Michelle in that role permanently. Otherwise adding it to Liz’s duties makes the most sense.

Who has been filling in for her at noon?

Maybe if the changing newscast blog was still a thing, people wouldn’t be getting things wrong, and you wouldn’t have to shame them for doing so.

They should’ve went with “Good Morning New York” for the name to differentiate it.

Actually looks like DB is moving to WDIV to replace Rachel.

What’s happening to Drew Barrymore? Surprised they haven’t been able to get IE/ET for 7pm hour.

Surprised they didn’t give the morning team the 9am, and the 4pm team the 12noon. That would’ve made more sense.

You’re wrong or you’re misreading my previous post. GH was at 2pm on those three stations for a brief period of time (2012-2014) when Katie Couric had her show on at 3pm. https://deadline.com/2012/06/general-hospital-to-move-to-new-2-pm-slot-on-september-10-292479/amp/ GH moved back to 3pm on the east coast O&Os and a few other select stations after Katie was canceled. https://soaps.sheknows.com/general-hospital/news/39759/general-hospital-changing-time-slots/ https://michaelfairmantv.com/general-hospital-to-switch-time-slots-in-some-markets/2014/08/13/

Except for the fact that most ABC affiliates on the east coast air GH at 2pm. The O&Os did briefly as well when Katie was at 3pm. WPVI has Sarah at noon, with John Paul filling the vacant chair most of the time. So I don’t anticipate any update needed there. I’m surprised they are bringing in both Nydia and Alyana for 10am, as they are both on weekend AM, so will they move off those newscasts? It also now means they have 10 weekday anchors, 12 if you count Alicia and Christie. As for WABC, I could see Shirleen moving off the noon, and Liz taking over.

My guess is Matt and Tamela. Or John Paul and/or Christie Ileto. But I think a better lineup would be: 10am & 4pm: John Paul & Alyanna Gomez 12noon & 5pm: Brian Taff & Sarah Bloomquist 6pm, 10pm, 11pm: Rick Williams & Sharrie Williams Send Gray back to weekend AM where he shined alongside Nydia and Chris.

Anyone know what’s going on at 3?: https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2023/7/20/going-from-bad-to-worse-in-philly

I figured the P was for Pittsburgh.

He made his debut last Wednesday behind the anchor desk.

I wonder who will anchor at 5pm with Tracy? My guess is either Johnny or Fred.

I don’t know why stations think it’s taboo or something. It was commonplace back in the day. KYW did it earlier in the week too.

If I had to guess, WABC, WPVI, and WTVD will be the next to add 3pm newscasts.

I wonder if his debut has been pushed back.

I never said it was about hierarchy, that was someone else’s argument, which I argued would have resulted in a different lineup. But you’re also wrong, it’s not about shifts either. If it were, why would they not have Gray anchor the 10pm and have Walter do the 11pm?

Okay, relax. Did it create bias in their presentation of the weather? I think you’re making a big deal out of nothing.

Or maybe WPIX passed on it. Not trying to sound sexist, but I am sure the game is not a big ratings draw.

Why does she have to be replaced on Saturday Today? Is there any reason she can’t keep that role?

It was: 12noon: John & Sarah 4pm: Walter & Sarah 5pm: Gray & Christie 6pm: Sarah 10pm: Walter 11pm: Gray I get what you’re all saying, but in that same hierarchy and line of reasoning, Sarah should’ve been the fill-in at 11pm, and someone should’ve filled in at noon for her. Or when Rick is off, Brian should fill in for him and someone should fill in for Brian then. Just seems stupid. I know, I’m nitpicking over something stupid.

I get that, but is there a big difference to having Gray do it over Walter? Neither are “top” anchors.

So I realize that yesterday was a holiday full of fill-ins, but what’s the purpose of having Walter fill in for Gray (and Sharrie) at 10pm, only to have Gray fill in at 11pm for Rick?

KYW plays this or a similar video every morning before their newscast, and they’ve been doing so for a while.
