Figured Natasha was in the mix as Joe Holden anchored yesterday and I don’t believe he said he was in for her. Highly disappointed that they’re using the same anchor team for all the shows. Who is the weekend morning anchor now?

Get over your obsession of this. It ain’t happening.

Looking further, it appears that Dr. Phil is indeed moving to 3pm with Family Feud moving off CBS3. I wonder if other CBS O&Os will follow suit.

They could also move The Doctors out of the 9am slot and over to 57.

4pm news returning to CBS3. Staffing from within. Their product is already not that great, and now they’re expanding it?! http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2018/7/26/adding-more-news-in-philly I assume Dr. Phil moves to 3pm, and Family Feud moves to 57 or off the schedule.

Looks like The View is interested in adding a second (and possibly third) conservative host to the table. Ana Navarro and Abby Huntsman leading contenders to replace Sara (and possibly Paula). https://deadline.com/2018/07/abby-huntsman-ana-navarro-sara-haines-leaves-view-michael-strahan-good-morning-america-hour-three-video-1202431991/amp/

My comment you quoted was in reference to the title of the third hour, not its time slot.

Who said they weren’t? The original Good Afternoon America was announced as a third hour of GMA and wasn’t named GAA until after the announcement. Agreed. They are members of the View? Not sure what you mean there. The Talk airs at 2pm Eastern. But why would you mess with moving the View which has had the same time slot for 20 years? Again, see above. There is no indication that it won’t be named Good Afternoon America. It will be taped right after GMA ends as reported. It will air like the Chew did. 1pm eastern, 12 noon central/mountain/pacific. See above.

Whoopi came in on Friday’s show (when she usually has off) to address this whole thing. With Joy (who usually moderates Fridays) off, I wonder if Paula was scheduled to moderate. Also, one of the reasons Pirro was supposedly pissed was because the anti-Trump conservative Republican Ana Navarro was scheduled to fill-in for Joy and she wasn’t told about it. Would she honestly have preferred Joy to be there?!

My bet is on Cecilia Vega replacing her on GMA. Bigger question is who will replace her on the Friday episodes of the View. Ana Navarro perhaps?

I’d have to disagree with you there. 10 goes for an hour Sunday. 6 has co-anchors on Sunday night. 29 as well as other stations across the country have their A teams on Sunday-Thursday. Sister station WNBC in NYC has two anchors on weekend evenings.

Great, then hire her as a reporter, not an anchor.

I don’t understand this move. Erin would anchor the 11am on most days. Why move Rosemary there? They could have used a rotation of Rosemary, Keith, Erin, Dray, and Denise. Instead of this they should have hired a co-anchor for Denise.

Wonder if Live w Kelly & Ryan eventually moves to WFAA.

Let the speculation begin as to her replacement. My guess is Cheryl will pick up 6 & 10, with Judy taking the 7 from Cheryl, and Tanja taking the 11am from Judy.

Joy filled in at 4 for Jim yesterday, but Wendy was solo at 5,5:30, and 6. Not sure why they feel 4pm needs two anchors but 5 and on are fine with one. Random indeed.

News is on noon eastern. They could bump the View to the afternoon. Live is not an ABC network program, but most ABC stations do carry it. Also, the quote you referenced says it from me, but it’s not!

Long overdue. The Chew has been a snoozefest for a while now. One of the articles says that hosts and show name are not finalized yet, so it may indeed be a GAA revival. Problem with expanding in the morning is most central, pacific, and mountain stations air Live at 9, View at 10, and news at 11, followed by the Chew at 12. The ideal scenario would be if all stations aired GMA from 7-10, Live at 10, View at 11, news at 12, and Rachael at 1, Millionaire & RTM at 2, and GH at 3. Yes I know some stations don’t carry some of the syndicated fair above. Yeah, although not the best four IMO. Perhaps this means a lesser role for Michael on the main show if he is named host of the expanded hour. And moving Live to another time slot presents its own problems.

Did not catch noon, 4, or 5, but Joy is filling in at 5:30 and 6 for BOTH Rob and Wendy.

Wonder if they’re dropping The Real or Maury.

Ever since Dan took over sports director/lead sports anchor, he has continued to handles Berks sports from the Lehigh Valley studio. This week was the first instance I saw otherwise. While I never said it’s strange to have a separate person from the Berks bureau (I know that’s how they used to do it), it just seems unnecessary. They don’t have a separate news anchor team doing the Berks news from the Berks bureau, do they? That being said, glad to see they’re building up the sports department with young and capable talent.

Joy Howe has been with Jaciel this week at noon. I wonder if she is permanent or temporary until Eve is ready to do the noon. Hope they use Alexandria Hogan as a fill-in in the mornings. Noticed that Dan Moscaritolo doesn’t always handle Berks edition while handling the other newscasts. Do they really need two sports anchors weekdays?

I like this decision. He’s a quality journalist and it balances the male to female ratio on the show. Now if they could only find a way to deemphasize Michael.

Is Alexandra Hogan permanent on the noon newscast or does Eve plan on returning eventually? Why not just give it to Joy Howe? When is Ed Hanna coming back? Also odd is the randomness in which they utilize fill-ins.

CBS 3 broke into Family Feud at around 3:10pm for a news conference from the NTSB about the emergency plane landing. The odd part about this is Jim Donovan was anchoring the coverage. Makes me wonder when do Ukee and Jessica come in? It makes no sense that the morning crew should be there that late (I would think 1:30pm would be the cutoff). Goes to show how lean they are on anchor talent.
