Thanks. And mornings?

I was under the impression he was still there under a different role.

What's the current anchor line up at WAGA?

Sheena's been filling in in the morning and at 11am this week, with Glenn handling all the night newscasts. In the past it's been opposite.

So was Sally Jessy Raphael. And believe it or not, Jerry Springer was a normal talk show the first two seasons (with low ratings) before the format/theme change.

A little disappointed to see that people still watch Maury, Wilkos, and Springer. You're not a fan of Springer? Those three programs = TrashTV.

Not sure if I follow your NBC/Telemundo point. So are English-speaking people a dying breed? I also maintain that this Fox football strategy is flawed.

I believe that was someone else who said it in response to Breaking News's post.

Yes he did noon with Lori.

Shirleen filled in over the weekend too for Joe on Saturday.

Agreed this seems more likely (actually 125 minutes). The only other plausible scenario is the morning team picks up midday, and David/Shiba at 4/6 and Chuck/Sibila at 5/11. There are also rumblings that a panel show may replace Meredith.

I'm pretty sure it hasn't been picked up for a second season yet.

I think the jury's out on that one. It wasn't doing that well to begin with, and then Tyra left, so we'll see.

Or if they want to give Chuck and Vargas more time give them the entire 5pm and give the 6pm to Ushery/Russell. Anyway, this may all change if the rumored 4pm comes to fruition.

Cecilia Vega in for Tom tonight. I'm guessing it's because he filled in for David a few times earlier in the week.

I believe Meredith will be shifted to overnights on both stations. Meredith continues to be demoted to overnights in other big markets.

There were some odd pairings. On Christmas Eve, Bolt filled in at 4 alongside Melanie. Then he soloed from 5pm on. I don't understand why they need TWO anchors at 4, but one is enough for 5&10.

Interesting, Jim Donovan and Rahel Solomon co-anchoring the weekend evening news together. I'm still not buying him as an anchor, however I found him more bearable today.

Today's anchor line-up: Noon-Ken & Lauren 4&5-Dave & Shirleen 6-Dave solo

Today's anchor line-up: Noon-Rick solo 4pm-Brian solo 5pm-Rick solo 6pm-Rick solo 10pm-Brian solo 11pm-Brian solo Interesting they didn't have them anchor the 4 and 5 together.

Jim Donovan filled in for Ukee tonight at 5&6. Did he start yet in the mornings? I am going to restate that I don't like the move of making him an anchor. He's awful!!!

I guess you could put Diana/Sade at 4, with Bill/Shirleen at 5. I guess the point I was trying to get across is that they don't need to hire another anchor.

Maybe vacancies would've been a better word. If they were smart, I would pair Bill & Sade at 5&11, and EITHER: David & Shirleen at 6, David & Diana at 4, and Diana & Shirleen at Noon OR: David & Diana at 6, David & Shirleen at 4, and Diana & Shirleen at Noon OR: David & Shirleen at 6, Shirleen & Diana at 4, and David & Diana at Noon OR: David & Diana at 6, Diana & Shirleen at 4, and David & Shirleen at Noon Switching out Shirleen for Lori in the above scenarios is also plausible. No need to move or hire anyone else for these roles or holes.

If she does, I imagine WABC will fill the anchor holes with either Diana, Shirleen, or Lori.
