  1. Don't mean to sound insensitive, but she's been out two months. Life goes on. I can understand taking some time off, but two months?
  2. I'm pretty sure Sam Ryan (female) was lead sports anchor at WCBS for a period of time.
  3. What point was that?
  4. I would think that they would continue to co-exist with the same call letters. Haven't others done similar things (WABC)?
  5. Also interested to see if Rachael Ray comes back to the daytime schedule or if Right This Minute or Millionaire make their way to WLS's airwaves.
  6. Yeah this is exactly (or similar) to what was on Vimeo last week.
  7. Your second paragraph says it all. You're not first if you're quoting someone else!!! And I believe there has been an instance where you reported something after another one of those websites reported it, but still classified it as "first".
  8. Ain't that the pot calling the kettle black. You often post things as "first on the blog" that have been posted elsewhere.
  9. They should reorganize the pairings: Noon & 5pm: Joanne Purtan & Glenda Lewis 4pm & 10pm: Curtis Jackson & Heather Catallo 6pm, 7pm, & 11pm: Stephen Clark & Carolyn Clifford And if they decide to bring in Jason Carr, put him on the morning show and send Malcom back to weekend mornings.
  10. That was the second half of last week. Jim was on yesterday. Rick was off yesterday. And Monica said Rick and Sarah are off. They usually say "Rick will be along later" if he's just off for the noon newscast.
  11. Whoa! Monica Malpass is anchoring at noon today, as Rick and Sarah are off. Matt, Alicia, Tamela, and Nydia must've been unavailable.
  12. Maybe Don Tollefson too
  13. Gotta say I'm really disappointed that the CBS Evening News was not on location either in Cuba or in Belgium. You've been mired in third place for a gazillion years, you have the most boring anchor ever, and you don't want to ever leave the studio, which is the least eye appealing of the Big Three. Shame on them! They're lucky Fox (broadcast network) has not entered the race, otherwise they'd be in fourth place!!
  14. Mornings, on Good Day Chicago.
  15. It's not. It was out last year. I see you got it from the "On the Move 3/22/16" post. The "On the Move" post tend to sometimes have months old info on there, similar to FTVLive's "Changing Jobs". They must be press releases that are send out by agents on a quarterly basis.
  16. What else would I mean? CBS This Morning started in 2012 and has not had one since it started. What's so difficult to understand?
  17. Surprised CBS hasn't tried to snatch him up as CBS This Morning has never had a weather person. He could rekindle his bromance with Josh then too.
  18. Jim and Jackie must be off as Keith did the 4pm and 5pm with ..... Tracy!!!! He soloed at 6pm. I wonder if Tracy was on in the morning. But I will reiterate how much I love these two together!!! Also, in addition to doing the 4/5/6/11 last M-F and today, Glenn also did the 6/11 on both Saturday and Sunday.
  19. If Ryan Seacrest or Billy Bush are taking over for Matt, you can kiss the ratings goodbye. Neither has any serious news chops to handle that role, not even a little.
  20. Can we please get this back at 6pm please (with the theme music http://www.networknewsmusic.com/wp/the-news-with-brian-williams-msnbc-theme/ )? Brian Williams (along with Chuck Todd, Kate Snow, Andrea Mitchell, Thomas Roberts) has made watching MSNBC tolerable again.
  21. I caught the end of the 9am hour again today and Kornacki was tossing over to Diaz-Balart for the 10am hour. I wonder if this is permanent or if it's just a Wednesday thing (as last time I caught this it was also Wednesday).
  22. NBC10 is short handed anchor-wise and weather people-wise. They are at 7 anchors and 3 weatherpeople. The morning weather person (Bill) is on vacation. The 5pm/11pm weatherperson (Sheena) is filling in in the morning and 11am. The 11am/4pm/6pm person (Glen) was supposed to handle 4pm/5pm/6pm/11pm but got the flu. Doug Kammerer (chief meteorologist at WRC in DC and former WCAU person) filled in Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 4/5/6/11. Dave today. WCAU is using per diem freelancers for the weekends, and I think Bill is still off next week too. Hopefully Glen's better or we may need Dave Price a few more days. Might I also say DC people were very possessive and upset on Facebook of Doug being loaned out to Philly (Doug is truly awesome!). I quoted the second post because we also have an anchor shortage while WNBC is on a hiring spree. They have 8 weekday anchors possibly 9 if another is brought in to replace Shiba. WRC has 9 weekday anchors. WCAU has 7 TOTAL anchors.
  23. Well, I think Michelle and Karen are per diem where as Doug and Dave are contract employees. Also, Karen and Michelle could've been unavailable. Last weekend there was another per diem person in. 10 only has three contract on-air weather people at the moment, and one is on vacation while the other is sick, and the third can only do so much. 10 is also spread a little thin at the moment on the anchor side as well.
  24. In addition to containing "NBC" in the "CNBC" name, the letters C, N, B, & C stand for Consumer News and Business Channel. So adding the word News or Finance after would either be redundant or not make sense.
