Maybe it was short notice? I know Robin was on her way to Philly to interview Kobe Bryant about his decision to retire from the NBA, which was a recent announcement in the past 48 hours.

It seemed in the past that Amy was the main weekday backup. Glad to see them using Tom now too.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

WPVI has hired Gray Hall. I wonder if he was hired as a reporter or anchor: http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/wpvi-adds-anchor-from-virginia/159356

I'm not a fan.

Is that a recent development? Because Phil was still doing Sunday mornings after Troy was hired and his bio still has it in there: http://abc7chicago.com/about/newsteam/phil-schwarz/

Tracy also does a WCL 11am update too I believe. And I think Phil does Sunday mornings?

There's just something about him that rubs me the wrong way (and no it's not his presumed sexual orientation). He just comes off as arrogant and an "I'm better than you" attitude. I do admit he did an okay job with Pat during the Pope visit.

Hope this one is not right ... http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/11/18/shake-up-happening-in-philly There are plenty of capable reporters to choose from if they are looking to promote from within: Todd Quinones, Cleve Bryan, Steve Patterson, and I was going to say Matt Rivers, but he's gone!

I'm amazed at how Charlie has aged.

WLNY has cut back on their news output as has KCAL. If TXA21 were to bring back news, I'd imagine it would only be one newscast a day to start.

Seems like Kyla's not sticking around but heading back to NY per her facebook post on November 17: https://www.facebook.com/KylaWeather/

They're fully loaded on the weekends. Justin Drabick and Lauren Casey already fill that role. If they carve out a role for a fifth meteorologist, I imagine it'll be noon and 6pm.

What happens to Kyla Grogan?

Can't say I'm surprised. Feel sorry for Williams, but this is a win-win for Kathy Orr and Fox 29.

A little odd. Jim and Jaqueline anchored the 4pm together, but Keith is anchoring solo at 5pm. Minor Update: Jacqueline is co-anchoring at 6pm with Jim. Could this mean a new hire or some shuffling is coming, especially with Chris leaving?

Wrong thread??

Sorry to disappoint you but they will be there as well: http://abcnews.go.com/US/gma-celebrate-40th-anniversary-40-hour-live-marathon/story?id=34809833

A surprise this morning: Vai Sikahema and Katy Zachry co-anchoring at 11am!

I'm still hoping "The News with Brian Williams" makes a return at 6pm, with the originial theme song.

Seeing the full list, I kind of wished Chris Cuomo (especially) and Tony Perkins would also return. Chris is on a competing morning show, so perhaps that's why he won't be there, but Tony is now on the evening newscasts.

A little odd, but CBS 3 just aired a story from KCRA (Hearst-owned) in Sacramento, where they have a sister station in KOVR.

She is anchoring again at 11am today.

Paula Faris is moderating today and I think she is doing a great job. Interestingly, Whoopi and Joy are both off and Bill O'Reilly is a guest. Also, Sherri Sheppard is sitting in along with Candace, Michelle, and Raven.

They don't say that. Because Disney (ABC's owner) & Hearst co-own ESPN, ABC O&Os and Hearst affiliates (which are not all ABC) get the right of first refusal to simulcast MNF if their local team is involved.
