Or they could have done this if Diana leaves, and left Lori in her place, and hired no one! 4&6: David & Liz 5&11: Bill & Sade

I never think it's a good idea to have a same sex pairing (male or female) on your main newscast.

Is weekend TINY still anchored by Pat & Contessa, or is it now Pat & Gus?

Another wild card in all of this is if "The F.A.B. Life" debuts at 2pm (or 3pm, swapping with GH), does Millionaire revert back to 12:30pm and shorten the noon news back to a half hour?

If the sole reason for Shirleen's hire is because Diana wants to come off the anchor desk, then a more sensible and less-costly solution would have been: 4&6: David & Liz 5&11: Bill & Sade Also, if Shirleen is later moved to evenings, I almost feel like Lori will rightfully be pissed.

Read the quote you quoted in your post and you'll get your answer.

I wonder if you've read the previous posts. By the look of your last two posts, I think not.

Or Dave and Diana. Seems like they are going to have an overbloaded cast of anchors.

Reports over on the Philadelphia board and on Twitter and Facebook that Action News 4pm/10pm anchor Shirleen Allicot moving from WPVI to WABC.

Sharrie Williams is who I'm betting on, although I could see Sarah take on the 4pm (although that would take her off Sundays) and Monica taking on the 10pm. Dark horse candidates: Alicia Viterrelli, Eva Pilgrim, Tamela Edwards, or a reporter.

Chris Lawrence gets 4pm, and Erika Gonzalez takes over weekend evenings. Chris will probably take over the 6pm once Jim retires in 2017.

I can see that or Chris Lawrence. If Jim does get the 11PM, I see some other shuffling happening (possibly with the 4PM).

http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/wrcs-jim-vance-leaving-11pm-anchor-spot/146444 - WRC-TV's Jim Vance will step down from the 11PM show sometime in May. He will continue to anchor at 6PM through 2017. His successor at 11PM to be named later today.

Appears Saturday only and after SNL, not The Tonight Show.

Actually, I believe the maximum times a team may appear on SNF in a season is four. Furthermore, the maximum times a team may appear on primetime (TNF, SNF, MNF, or Saturday night) is six. So I think 2-3 SNF appearances is more likely.

I believe she also did Thursday at 4 with Liz and at 5 with Sade.

I'm kind of wondering with "The F.A.B. Life" (the lifestyle program coming to ABC O&Os this fall) premiering, where will it end up on WLS's schedule? While most of the other O&Os have the option of replacing Millionaire & Jeopardy's rerun (with Millionaire moving back to replace the second half of the expanded midday news in most markets), WLS's (and KTRK's) situation isn't that clear. The first two options below have been speculated in the media, but I also think the third would be an intriguing option: It could replace Windy City Live at 11am (causing WCL to be cancelled). It could replace Rachel Ray at 1pm (causing RR to move to a post-midnight time slot or another station) Put it at 3pm. Move Inside Edition to 11:30am, truncating WCL to a half hour at 11am. Jeopardy would move to 4:30pm (or 4pm), truncating the 4pm news to a half hour. I know the third option would anger a lot of people, as not only will news time be lost, but Inside Edition & Jeopardy would once again be changing timeslots. The View, The Chew, and General Hospital are all safe as they are network programs and WLS is a network O&O. Live with Kelly and Michael I would imagine is also safe as they went to all that trouble to take it from WGN and is also one of the higher rated syndicated shows. Has anyone heard anything lately?

Did not realize Chris went to 6, I thought he stopped at 5:30.

Is Vai officially off the morning (4-7AM) show? I was up early this morning and noticed in the 5:30am half hour it was Chris and Tracy anchoring, but Vai is anchoring the 11am (and seems like he has been for a while).

Which they shouldn't include anyway. But nonetheless, even if they did add the overnight broadcasts, ABC would have still come out on top: http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/abc-world-news-tonight-is-no-1-for-first-time-in-7-years/259965

My guess is a rotation between Bill & David, with a Sandra Bookman, Lori Stokes, and Joe Torres thrown in here and there. Interestingly, Liz Cho was in for Lori at noon today (I believe Michelle filled in during the morning).

I think it started later than scheduled. Didn't NCAA basketball run late causing the whole Sunday prime time lineup and news to start late?

Interesting ... I wonder who he's replacing, and if that person is just moving to another newscast or leaving altogether.

Anybody know what's going on at WJLA? Leon Harris and Alison Starling are anchors of the 4pm, 5pm, and 11pm news, while Maureen Bunyan anchors at 6pm, and Jonathan Elias on his way in to anchor one or more of the evening newscasts. But it seems like they are they testing pairings. I've seen Kimberly Suiters filling in for both Leon and Alison at 4pm (while Leon/Alison are NOT off as they appear on the 5pm), and the same deal with Scott Thuman and Autria Godfrey filling in on the 4pm. Meanwhile, I think their weekend evenings is still vacant since Kendis Gibson left for ABC.

More likely so that Lori & Ken could attend funeral today. Diana and Sandra, along with Amy on weather, are holding down the fort on the noon show.
