Dana anchored last night (Sunday) as well. I liked Dana's and Kristine's interactions tonight. 

 

Dana and Dick did the 6.

I agree they did really well together

I might've just never noticed before; but Dana and Kristine is the 5pm team tonight; I don't recall the last time they anchored together despite them being on different shifts every night

I noticed that as well and was surprised. Usually Dana fills in for Kristine.. I didn’t see the 6:00.. was Dick Brennan off? 

All of this will make for a perfect story line on season 3 of The Morning Show

Was also going to mention this.. was shocked to see him this morning! FWIW, Vanessa handled practically all newscasts during the Thanksgiving holiday week/weekend. I definitely feel like WCBS could use another meteorologist (like when John Marshall would fill in); I've noticed they tend to overwork one person on holidays a lot. 

He was on at noon 5pm and 6pm as well

What

I was wondering when they would go back to normal. I thought the current anchor spacing on WABC, which is closer than it was during the pandemic, was done to leave room to display graphics on the video wall behind them?

 

I figured they were making use of the big screen since they were still distancing a bit. The recorded new promos according to Shirleen Allicots Instagram and it shows all 4 at the desk with the regular back drop and “prepandemic” seating. Guess time will tell 

As of this morning anchors are no longer social distancing and back to pre pandemic seating. That makes WABC the only station that has anchors still sitting further apart.. which if postings from the morning team are an indication that will be ending soon.

My theory has always been that Fox 5 evenings competes well enough with PIX11 that there isn’t an emphasis on investing there. Everything about the 5,6 and 10pm is in inspirational. Aren’t they one of the few Fox owned stations that have never invested in an 11pm addition to the 10pm? It’s probably not entirely fair but they simply do not seem to take their evening side serious.

Exactly. Good Day is where they know they have people and that’s where they focus. They got lucky with Lori but now they’re back to where they were. 

I didn’t get to watch the 6:00.. was it the same format with interviews or was it a straight newscast?

Wasn't Natasha supposed to start today?? At 5?

Per her Instagram she started at FOX5 today.. I guess there’s rehearsals and stuff first 

I hope it is permanent. Dick deserves a spot at the desk full time. I guess now every station will have 2 anchors at 6 again.

I wonder what happened to her to leave WNYW and RETIRE (major), she hasn't been at the station too long and she's not old at all (59 years old). 

 

 

If I’m correct both her daughters are in Cleveland area and she spends a lot of time going there. Maybe to be closer to them.

That’s a huge hit not only to FOX5 but to NY news as a whole. Best of luck to Lori in a well deserved retirement. As for her replacement I would assume it’s Teresa Priolo. Unless they bring in an outsider there really aren’t many options within the station that I can see filling the seat. Too bad things went down the wat they did with Christina Park she would’ve been a shoe in

Did they ever? Not the channel I would go to to watch.  It was on 2, 4, 5, 7 and 11.  NFL pregames moved to 9 for Fox and 10/55 for CBS. 

Yes they did. Westchester even used to do an entire tribute and the end listing then names and pictures of those from the viewing counties. They covered ground zero in full every year 

News 12 is the only local New York station not covering the 9/11 memorial. Surprising and disappointing.

He's like Rodney Dangerfield -- no respect. Also, hadn't he disappeared for a while between being dumped from evening to resurfacing in the AM? Or was that the 6pm period?

I’m pretty sure he went to ABC for a time in between

Taresa Priolo has been in for Steve Lacy the last few days.. watching her and Lori is so much more enjoyable.. there is so much better flow and chemistry.

And Lee Goldberg just posted a welcome to Dani Beckstorm, whose FB page says that she's joining WABC from Las Vegas. As when Brittany joined and Amy subsequently left, odds are that someone will be leaving in the next few months.

I saw that.. my money is on Sam Champion

What year is he getting his suites from? By mistake hit this channel and WOW! Not sure what he said..Couldn't hear or see anything but this!

 

SuitSnob is that you??

The only difference I notice is the video wall is bigger. The desk area is very bright and I'm guessing they'll adjust that after the newscast.

Bill has returned to the studio.

I wonder if/when the stations will return to normal seating at the desk.. seems like WNBC has somewhat returned.. WCBS has gone back and forth.. but with almost all restrictions now lifted I wonder when the stations will go back?

Lee Goldberg is doing weather from his backyard, and his dog was just on.

I’ve seen that a few times the past few weeks. He mentioned it’ll be more often through the summer months again

Acoording to TVSPY, Tashanea Whitlow (previously with Black News Channel) will be joining Good Day New York starting June 15th and will co-anchor with Dan Bowens from 4:30-7am and the main show with Rosanna Scotto

https://www.adweek.com/tvspy/tashanea-whitlow-to-join-fox-ny-as-am-anchor/241807/

She’s reporting from 7-10… not anchoring 

Tamsen Fadal has Covid.. the social distancing could be related to that 

Live shots and early morning thunderstorms

Pretty good get just after 6am this morning by Josh Einiger who was reporting live near the Poland-Ukraine border as Cardinal Dolan returned to Poland after a surprise trip into Ukraine. WABC dumped most of their 6am A block so Eineger could speak live with the cardinal right after she  got out of the car transporting him. The breaking news report lasted about 7 minutes.

Interviewed him live at noon on Friday as well.. Josh is doing an awesome job over there
