Yeah, and maybe Sal can come back to doing Sports, John back to mornings with Lynne White, along with Tiffany McElroy and Craig on the early morning shift. I wonder if Mary Murphy or Jackie Hyland can anchor with Peter Thorne on the weekends too!!! Seriously guys, give it up. It doesn't look like Jim's coming back, or that Kaity is getting the 10pm back.

Can I say that as much as I love Rick & Monica as a team, I really enjoy Rick & Sarah as a team equally as much. Which brings me to ask, why isn't she used as a fill-in for Monica and Sharrie when one of those women is off? Monica and Sharrie are typically each other's fill-ins, but it'd be nice to throw Sarah into that mix.

He would've been better not speaking out. All this new information makes him sound bitter. For goodness sake, he is well into his 80s, not late 60s or 70s! He should be grateful that WBBM allowed him to stick around that long. Since when is a station obligated to keep someone on until that person is ready to go? They are the ones that pay him. Do we even know if there were any difficulties with him (reading the teleprompter, etc.)? As mentioned, it appeared that WBBM had hinted around for the past few years that that time was coming.

Anything's possible. I just don't think with current management they wil demote Tamsen to replace her with Kaity. Age and sex appeal unfortunately are more important qualities than experience nowadays.

Eva Pilgrim is moving over to the network: http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/abc-news-adds-eva-pilgrim-as-correspondent/279983 Looking at my previous post, I wonder if Gray Hall is her replacement on the weekend mornings alongside Nydia Han. WPVI has a history of hiring replacements before someone retires or moves on.

Have Vai and Tracy both been anchoring the entire 4AM-7AM block now that Chris is gone? Also, it's been over a month now that Jackie has been doing the 4pm and 6pm (in addition to the 11pm) with Jim. I wonder if this means if Renee comes back that she'll be put on the 5pm. How long will they stay this course of putting her on leave?

Another good one gone ... http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/12/14/philly-reporter-headed-to-vegas-anchor-job He would've been perfect here as weekday morning or weekend evening co-anchor. Good job CBS3, another screw up!

I doubt PIX11 is going to replace or demote Tamsen. John is definitely worthy of the main anchor gig. I am actually surprised that he left ABC News to come back to PIX11. It seemed like he was becoming a rising star there, even filling in on GMA. Perhaps if Kaity/Brenda goes well, they could do 11am news together too. I think Jay Dow is definitely in line to get the weekend gig (maybe with Narmeen Choudhury), and Dan Mannarino (Joe Cioffi weather too) if they ever expand to weekend mornings. I like Joe Mauceri on sports (maybe he can handle weekends). Not a big fan of Scott Stanford or the SportsDesk block.

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

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?

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!
