Ugggh....Not again... Sorry but if this is true..Not feeling these changes...

Hmm.. I'm assuming this will happen before May sweeps? I saw the Dan Mannarino thing earlier on fb. However I'll believe the rest of it when someone else reports it I really don't go by what TunedIn says anymore

Interesting anchor line up today:

Noon: David and Sandra

4pm: David and Lori

5pm: Bill and Shirleen

6pm: (probably) Bill solo

11pm (probably) Bill and Shirleen

Interesting because of the fact almost everyone including Lee is off

True. There is no way Camille would allow a white male to ascend to an anchor position. She'll shove Shirleen and a future minority male hire down our throats before that happens.

Or Rob Nelson.. Who I'm surprised doesn't get much more airtime.. Camille Edwards better watch out cause WCBS is creeping up on them it seems and WNBC has a fresh start coming soon while I don't think it's enough to beat 7 you never know what will happen.

Question.. Is David still in Cuba for the week or did they send him over to Brussels because of the attack?

Thinking way outside the box here but imagine if possible if Sam ever went back to WABC? He could do the Noon and 5 or the Noon, 4 and 6 and Lee Goldberg could do the others? Like a .000001% chance of happening but hey fun to think

FROM CHRIS KNOWLES FACEBOOK:

So a little jarring news, and I'm sorry that it's Facebook. I wanted to let my friends know I am having surgery tomorrow morning. I have a brain tumor that has affected my vision. And it needs to come out right away, they say. My sight should return to nearly normal if it all works out. And I believe it will. Mom came up to stay with me. It's all going down at NY Presbyterian. I'm not a huge sharer of serious items here. But I know many of you pray and your prayers would be very much welcomed. Thanks and I will see you soon. - CK.

Since FOX29 is in the process of getting a new set does anyone know if FOX5 is supposed to get one? How hold is the one they have now? And has anything besides the backdrop been refreshed?

I like Sade however I do prefer the Bill/Liz team at 11.. Anyway I don't think Sade will be affected IF there is any changes.. I think it's more likely Diana and Shirleen will swap roles or if Diana retires in the next few years Shirleen will either get the 6 with Liz and Bill will move to 5 or Shirleen will just get the 5.. HOWEVER, if anyone is forced out or demoted there will likely be serious backlash from both viewers and station staff

Trust me - they didn't bring Shirleen in just to anchor the noon news. Camille has much bigger plans for her - she was her "baby" at WPVI - and Camille brought her along to WABC.

Shirleen will have 2 hours at the desk by the end of the year.

I agree and I feel it will unfourtanately involve Diana Williams being affected in someway

This was brought up elsewhere but does anyone here think maybe Diane is going to WNBC to anchor the 4:00 show?

so gotta listen to Larry is coming to Chicago

So New York isn't the only one lucky enough to have that type of promo?

Seems like they're doing something new at 5.. Called the "Breaking News Live Desk".. Which is in the newsroom..where the go for all the breaking stories (obviously). So far there have been 3.. All done by Shirleen Allicot.. One time they went from a remote shot straight to her.. Seems cool I like it but also seems like it could be extremely over used after a while

I agree they need a male, however no matter who they get I still think WABC does and will still have the best weekend morning team. (Even though Pat and Gus are good too) Does anyone think whoever gets the position will also do weekend nights with Cindy? Ot will she stay solo?

Brynn Gingras is going to CNN.. I know we all know shes leaving WNBC but not sure if where she's going was mentioned

Well apparently if a republican candidate gets NOMINATED Raven is leaving the country

Is it possible they could hire Sam to do feature weather and environmental stories? Then cover weather hits when needed on WNT?

They're the ONLY ones (including News12) that aren't in a special breaking coverage of the crane collapse.

Today was Anna Gilligans last day at FOX5

I saw a clip of this mornings news online and realized they were showing a live shot of 42nd street as the backdrop. I know they did it during the storm too. Hope it's permanent cause it's 1,000,000,000,000x better than the normal background

I only watched a few mins of their coverage today but I gotta say the scroll bar they were using was much better than the blue and orange one they normally have.

They're lucky no one was hurt. While Good Day is my choice in the morning I have a feeling they're gonna be told to cool it

WCAU got a new toy today. Introducing News Force 10.

So far it appears WVIT, KNBC and WCAU have gotten these Jeeps. This one however does not look like it has the marine radar.

What does it do?

I wonder if Michelle Grossman is open to coming back for one of the weekend jobs. I know she's been filling in a lot since Ted left. Is SallyAnn Mosey free?

SallyAnn Mosey is working on News12.

The news at 6:30 is the best thing PIX has going for them right now. They should either get the full 6:00 hour or get the 10. If they were to get the 10 I have no doubt they'd beat Steve and Dari. Kala Rama and Craig Trwadway are good as well

Did anyone see the 6:30? How was it? Any opinions?
