I've said it once before and I'll say it again.. At the time we all couldn't stand Jodi Applegate (mainly cause of the format) but if she was there now with John or Kori I think ratings would be much better. If they want to keep Tamsen so bad move her to Kalas spot and let her do lifestyle reports during the 6-9 newscast. Then put Kaity and Kori at 5.. John and Kala at 6.. John and Kaity at 10

At first, I was shocked to read the post; then I saw the link and thought "Oh Well, never mind."

I don't know; even if it isn't true, it's terrible (pathetic even) that they'd axe Brenda Blackmon after that short amount of time.

I wish her very well in where she goes next.

The one part confirmed is Kori moving to 5pm Weeknights.. He posted on facebook

http://tunedinnyc.com/2016/09/10/kaity-tong-back-to-weekends-at-wpix-kori-chambers-heads-to-weeknights/

CHANGES AS OF 9-12-16

Kaity: Back to weekends

Brenda: OUT

Kori: Weeknights 5pm with Tamsen

John: 6 and 10 with Tamsen

If they were going to work with the people they have (unfortunately getting rid of Brenda) I think it would be better if they'd put Kori and Kaity at 5.. John and Tamsen at 6.. John and Kaity at 10.. And put a 2 anchor team on weekends (maybe include Brenda in that)

I'm guessing that we are facing the wrong way -- that's probably the sunset instead of sunrise??

I'm pretty sure WCBS did the same thing with the backdrop to their set.. They used the same scene for the morning and early evening shows..

Huddy said on Twitter that she want to focus on her book, creating a website and possible a tv gig with later hours.. She also wasn't to happy that some sites said Roger Ailes was her godfather.. Saying "my uncle Bruce is my godfather"

In my opinion Taresa Priolo is trying to be the next Rosanna Scotto and it's not working.. Just do your own thing and you'll come off as more genuine.. I'm actually surprised that Huddy is gone/ was let go.. There was always something weird though.. She NEVER filled in on GDNY.. No matter who was out.. I would still like to know the story behind that.

NYNlover does your team proposal indicate that you want to scrap that ernie talk show at 6?

Yes

I respectfully disagree. I know that the opinion-based Fox 5 News is not for everyone, but I find it to be a nice alternative in the morning. If you want a straight newscast, you can get that on WCBS, WNBC, or WABC. In this case, I think Fox 5's format is a good way to differentiate itself from the competition.

 

I do agree with you, however, that they are better off going outside to find a new early morning team (that is, assuming Juliet Huddy is actually gone). I honestly do not believe that any of the reporters who've been filling in are the permanent solution.

I see your point and we all have our preferences! However I would like them to focus on more hard news in general.. But anyway I guess I'll be the one to start this lol my ideal teams for FOX 5 would be this (assuming Huddy is out):

GDWU 4:30-7 A new team.. Maybe Heather Childers from FNC?

GDNY: Keep as is..

5pm Ernie Anastos and Christina Park

6pm Steve Lacy and Kerry Drew

10pm Steve Lacy and Christina Park

Weekends: Antwan Lewis and Sharon Crowley

Also, add a weekend morning newscast and NEW SET!!

I would like to see the GDWU become more traditional newscast and less "opinion based"(which should also be done with the 7&8am hours of GDNY) As for anchors if this is true I don't really care for any of the options with in however I'd much rather see Kerry Drew then Taresa Priolo.. I'd also like to see Joe Toohey get a shot at anchoring.. Otherwise their best choice would be to look outside for a new team.

Also, found this article from a few years back.. Wonder if more changes could be on the way (maybe at night?)

While she likely will replace Rob I don't think Laura has been chosen yet.. You would think it would've been mentioned when he left that she would be taking the chair.. Kind of like Rob was announced by Scott.. Plus she's still in the weekend opens.. Idk something just tells me nothing's official

I'm surprised Laura didn't take over immediately.. Another thing to mention the 6pm open is actually a team open with Bill, Liz and Lee.. Not a generic open. And Lee kept using those damn virtual graphics or whatever they're called.

Tomorrow night is Rob Powers last night at WABC.. The 6:00 gave him a goodbye tonight with "more to come tomorrow night"

Maybe a sign of things to come, the 3D weather graphics seen on KTRK and a few other ABC O&O's seems to have come to WABC.

Yeah I saw that on TV.. I really really really hope this was just a one time thing. They look stupid.. Once in a while for something like this it's ok.. But otherwise NO

For the first time in a long time I'm hone at this time on a Saturday night and I have to say I think having news from 5:00-6:30 is overkill. The 5:00 is mostly repeated stories from newscasts during the week. Anyone else feel they could do without?

Does anyone know what kind of time off they get at PIX? I feel like some (especially Linda Church, Suki and John Muller) are off more often then not

Has he been anchoring at 5 & 11 too? Add this to the fact that Kristine anchors on CBSN too.

Not sure what it was like this week.. But in the past when he anchored CBS Evening News they would have someone fill in at 5.. Then he'd be back for the 11. Wouldn't be shocked if he went over to network by years end.

She has a daughter, I'm sure working evenings took a toll on them (especially weekends) yeah getting up at 2 is hard but now she'll have the whole day with her. Cindy seems very family oriented and this may have been her decision for that reasin

They should take this opportunity to make weekend evenings a 2-anchor team. Cindy was good as a single anchor but not too many are. Hopefully they consider it

Totally agree why not hire 2 male anchors one for weekend mornings with Andrea the other for weekend nights with Cindy.

Even if they promoted within.. Ive said it once before Brian Conybeare had a strong following at News12.. He'd work well with Andrea or Cindy so he could def be a potential candidate but I guess we'll see what actually happens

Wonder if Cindy is moving to mornings with Andrea?

Harmon is ruining the station. Garuntee they are in last place by the end of the summer (with the exception of Good Day NY) and even Greg and Rosanna are starting to annoy me, once in a while a skit is ok but not everyday. They need to reevaluate everything at the station and then they can give us quality product

If they want to gain a following for the midday (11 or Noon) they NEED to have a stable anchor team.. Same person or people all 5 days.. The most realistic and probable choice would probably be David Ushery and Kerry Berrett

The newscast after the baseball game has a "RECORDED EARLIER" on the top right.

There is no current time or temp next to the FOX5 bug.

I could even see if they let the reporters come in after a certain time but to have the anchors record a newscast just because the game ran late is obsurd. I guess they're to worried that the anchors might be to tired to Facebook live the next day or something. Seriously, what is going on there?

Is Phil leaving the station or just not anchoring anymore?

News 12 Hudson Valley is doing 12NightSide too.. Very social media oriented type show.. Basically a run down of the day's top stories with comments from social media.. It's nothing crazy but it's pretty cool that news 12 is actually moving into 2016 lol
