Second run of Jeopardy and Millionaire. Not sure if they'll run at 2pm or 3pm. I've only read GH moving to its old slot for some stations in the central and pacific time zones, but nothing in the east yet.

What new 24-hour network?

Bill and Sade are on at 11. Did Bill anchor the 6, and if so, with who?

It was Ken solo at noon, Dave & Lori at 4, Diana & Sandra at 5, and now Dave & Diana at 6. Wonder who'll do the 11....

My bad. Misinterpreted your initial post as Terrell filling in for Ryan, not as news reader.

Isn't that the norm, except with Ryan instead of Terrrell?

WPVI really doesn't need six meteorologists, even though one of them does traffic mainly. I've always been of the opinion that stations only need four on air meteorologists / weather people. I think both Cecily and Adam would be great for the GMA Weekend weather spot, even though I would miss both. The other could take over the rest of the evening duties at WPVI.

Something I never thought I'd see Channel 6 stoop to. They ran what appears to be an infomercial during their Sunday noon newscast. Granted, it was during commercial break, but it was more than a minute long and it had the look of an infomercial. Also, a side note, Sharrie was subbing today for Nydia.

Still don't like Scott Stanford as lead anchor. Would take Mendte or Watkins anyday over him. He'd be okay as sports director though.

She could be doing the noon and 6pm as Lucy Noland was.

Another rumor has her possibly landing at KNBC in LA.

Okay, so Sarah Bloomquist continues to co-anchor Sundays at 6pm & 11pm with Walter, but for the past few weeks she is back to doing the Monday through Thursday noon show with Rick. On Friday, Eva Pilgrim subs for her. I am still puzzled by all of this... Why does Sarah co-anchor on Sundays, but she (or someone else) doesn't on Saturdays? Why is Sarah doing Sundays? Is the long term plan to move her there with Walter? If so, why the slow transition? Why isn't the noon solo anchored anymore when one person is off? Don't get me wrong, I like the subs/two people! What is the purpose of Sharrie Williams? Is Jim retiring? Who is going to sub for Nydia while she's on maternity leave? Why doesn't Lisa Thomas-Laury sub anymore?

Those were my thoughts exactly when I read the article.

You know, that's one pairing I never cared for. Don't really see the appeal of Diana and Sade together. I know it's otherwise popular, I just don't care for it.

They could really keep Bill and find a place for Rob. 4: David & Liz 5: Rob & Diana 6/11: Bill & Sade I don't think Bill's going anywhere soon though.

David Muir? That way when George moves to World News David could move to the anchor position from news anchor.

Yeah, too much going on, too many changes, particularly ones that don't make sense. Just give Vai and Tracy the entire 4-7am shift. As for the 11am, they should give it two anchors and stop rotating it! Either give it to Keith & Renee, or Vai & Tracy. Keep Chris on the weekends!!

Doubt it. Says it's been sold to the CBS Television Stations and Tribune too. While I don't see WCBS picking it up, I see it likely ending up on WLNY, and if not, then on WPIX. I still think at this point the extra hour will be filled with some sort of Millionaire/Wheel/Jeopardy second showings combination, probably for a year, until they find something more permanent.

Comparing apples and oranges. The network news and the cable news channel are different newscasts from local newscasts. Do they have a regular traffic, weather, and sports segment? What works for them might not work locally. All the solo anchors you mentioned are legends in their own right. I don't really see it with today's anchors. When Jim anchors solo on 10, it feels like a long boring newscast.

Okay, first off, I wasn't thinking or assuming you didn't know about Rob Jennings retirement. So you ask why wait six months? Because that's how Channel 6 is! When they make changes, they do them slow and gradually! And I bring the music up because that is a change people will get angry about (I mean the masses, not news junkies like us). Adding Sarah as a co-anchor to the weekend evenings will not anger the masses, but prolly just a few news junkies. When they tried to change the music, they were flooded with complaint calls. I doubt that happened this past weekend.

I have a feeling they are going to fill it with some combination of Jeopardy/Wheel/Millionaire second showings.

It did feel like a test. Oddly enough, Sarah was not on the noon today, Nydia Han was on with Rick. If she does move to weekend evenings, they should just have Tamela or Monica handle the noon with Rick. Solo anchors do work, but it takes the right person to do it, and I feel not too many are capable of doing it. There are not too many Jim Gardners out there. And CircleSeven, here change already happened in the sense that the weekend anchor retired last summer. So why not test things out now? It's not like they are changing the music theme.

I gotta say I actually enjoyed it, a lot. Walter solo was a bit boring. I feel like the newscast flowed better with both of them. I guess it helps that I also think Sarah and Walter make a good team, going back to the days when they were fill-ins on the weekday morning newscast before they settled on Matt and Tamela. Sometimes change is good. There's a first time for everything. And I truly believe when Jim does call it quits, two people will replace him.

So if this was a weekend evening, and the weeknight/chief meteorologist was tag teaming with the weekend evening person, is the chief/weeknight evening person supposed to take a back seat to the weekend evening person? Same with anchors. The weeknight team is sometimes brought in to anchor Sunday after special events. Seniority means something, and so does being further up the totem pole.

No she's definitely the morning person at KYW. KYW has three weekday weather people, so maybe one of the others filled in. Btw they have three weekday people bc of WCBS. WCBS had Katie originally and when they got a new person they bumped Katie to Philly.
