I don't think a lot of stations aired it between 9am and 11am. But those were possible airtimes hence why she would not appear after 9am unless there was a major breaking story.

Weekends at 6/11 used to be the same until Rob Jennings retired. Now Sunday's are co-anchored. I imagine when Jim retires he will be replaced by two co-anchors on both those newscasts (likely Rick&Monica at 11 and Brian&Sharie at 6).

Michael Strahan appears on Fox during football season. Ryan Seacrest contributes to Today on NBC, hosted American Idol on Fox, and hosts New Years Rockin Eve on ABC. Tom Bergeron used to host the syndicated Hollywood Squares (on lots of CBS affiliates) while he hosted AFV on ABC.

Not sure if this clears anything up: http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/miami-meteorologist-moves-to-detroit/170011

Wonder if they'll use the "NewsEdge" name for it. Also surprised they didn't use a different anchor for it.

I wonder if they will promote their entertainment person (Carson?) to be the "fourth person" on the main show.

Kirsten Cole should be a shoe-in that spot or alternatively should have her co-anchor with Kori on weekend evenings. As for the male, I see Jay Dow or Dan Mannarino co-anchoring the weekend mornings. Narmeen Choudhury should also be in the mix for either weekend evenings or mornings.

I also enjoy Natalie, and would rather see Al and maybe Matt go. But I don't foresee her continuing in the newsreader capacity from the west coast. She would come on air at 4am PT, plus have AH to do. Doesn't seem likely.

Wonder who will replace Natalie as newsreader? I'm guessing Tamron will. Al needs a new role. He's become boring and stale. Will Natalie host AH solo or with Kit Hoover? Will Natalie also co-host the spinoff AHLive?

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/billy-bush-exits-access-hollywood-888032 Looks like ABC isn't the only one that's gonna experience changes in the 9am hour. Billy Bush seems to be joining the 9am hour of Today in some capacity. More surprising is that he'll be exiting AHL (which airs at 11am after Today on NBC affiliates in quite a few markets) and AH (which airs at 7:30pm on NBC affiliates in a lot of markets).

While I agree with Ron they should've asked his consent, I don't believe they were legally obligated to and therefore he likely has no legal grounds to sue upon.

Vai usually does it. He is the normal anchor. Tracy usually anchors the beginning of the morning show solo as well.

Duke used to be at nights and went to mornings. At that time, Russ was exclusively on the My9 side and when Duke moved to mornings, Russ would appear on Fox5 from the My9 newsroom to do sports. When My9's newscast got cancelled Russ began appearing in studio at Fox5.

Wasn't implying that Jackie was being supplanted by Tracy. Just saying they could've easily used Denise or Rosemary to sub as they do otherwise. It seems Tracy is in the mix along with other two to be paired with Keith, and they could mix up the evenings pairs as they did when Renee was still there.

Tracy is anchoring at 4pm again today with Jim. I'm still convinced that they're testing different pairs in the mornings and afternoon/evenings. I see she was on in the morning too. On the weather front, the schedule for the time being seems to be Violeta Yes handling Saturdays and Glenn handling Sundays while getting a weekday off (on that day Bill usually adds the 11am while Sheena adds the 4pm/6pm).

On today's episode of "As All My Young and Restless Days of our Daytime Drama Lives Turns": http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-kelly-ripa-live-20160422-story.html http://m.tmz.com/#article/2016/04/23/kelly-ripa-michael-strahan-live-abc/ Kelly will be back to work on Tuesday. She needed some time away to process this all. There's a distinct possibility Michael may be gone before September. ABC has given Kelly assurances Live won't be cancelled, although if GMA expands, it could get moved to 10am.

I wonder if Lisa Rayam will take her place on Good Day Atlanta, making room for Stephany Fisher in the evenings.

Thankfully you're not in charge. I think many more sympathize with Kelly than those who are labeling her as rich and stubborn. So firing her would be an even bigger PR nightmare than they already have in their hands. Plain and simple, not only was this a bad decision, but to top it off, it was poorly handled. Give it a week for heads to cool off and I'm sure things will be a bit better.

Was searching the web but I could not find anything about this. I honestly don't remember anything about this. The only thing that I've heard about GMA and Kelly is she was mentioned as a fill-in for Robin when Robin was out all those months.

I don't know the reason why, but it happens all the time.

I will repeat that canceling LIVE is a stupid move. It's one of the top rated daytime shows (might be the top rated). As for her being offered a position, this is news to me. I don't recall any of that. I remember them wanting more testosterone on the show after Sam and Josh left, hence why Michael was brought on. I often think that people need to get over themselves when they get mad, but I think in this situationshe was justified in taking the day off. While ABC is not obligated to give any notification, they should have given her the common courtesy.

http://www.tvguide.com/news/kelly-ripa-michael-strahan-protest/ Well this story just seems to be getting awkwarder by the day. Supposedly Kelly sat out in protest on today's show as she was not notified ahead of time of his decision. Wow, they have to work together another 3-4 months. This whole things has been poorly planned from the beginning. 1. Not notifying co-host ahead of time. 2. Having him exit at end of summer. Better bet would have been for them to give him his swan song at the end of May and use the summer to test out co-hosts so they could start September with a new co-host. Instead, they will start September with rotating co-hosts, and based on the last two times they searched for a new co-host, may have to sit through a year of that. 3. I understand the want to strengthen your morning show, but why do it by weakening one of your other shows (yes, I know it technically isn't a network show)? 4. The article also includes the notion that GMA may be looking to extending until 10am. If this is the case, it would be smart to move LIVE to 10am sandwiched in between GMA and THE VIEW (not sure how that would work in C/M/P time zones). It would be stupid to cancel the show as it performs extremely well in the ratings, and ABC should know how hard it is to get a successful talk show (Katie, FabLife, The Revolution, among others).

http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news-1/2016/4/20/kc-station-hires-traffic-reporters-doppelgnger I used to enjoy reading this website, however, I've become disgusted as of late. First, he posted video of the child of a WFOR producer a while back. You leave family, particularly minor children, out of your stories. No ifs, ands, or buts. Then when the Wendy Bell story broke, there was a story about her almost everyday for many days straight. Now, his new obsession is Kacie McDonnell. He doesn't like when they question him and instead posts their emails (which I'm sure he cuts and pastes to his benefit). Like I said, I used to enjoy reading his website, however, I think he has become a mean bully who has no boundaries as far as crossing the line.

Today has 7 (Matt, Savannah, Natalie, Al, Willie, Tamron, and Carson), so I don't see them having 6 full-time anchors as a problem or as laying the groundwork for Lara's departure.
