Chris Knolwes will be filling the traffic position temporarily

But they still need a weekend weather anchor..

She said something about being on the street and involving a lot of social media and community. I hope they didn't create some b/s position just to make it. Maybe it will be a mixture of entertainment and light news?

Anyone else notice they play music in the morning while coming back from break now? Real songs like Channel 5 and 11 do

I have a question.. When John Elliot is off.. Who fills in for him on the couch? Is it the same person who fills in for him on weather or someone else?

Well they have definite potential in the morning from 4-6.. After that they really don't cause Kori and Suki aren't good and after 7 there's very little chance that anyone local can beat Rosanna and Greg. If they bring in the right people they could definetly beat Steve and (Dari) but this will take a very long time. PIX really has lost all credability and it's sad because they had a good thing going. Weren't the new newscasts supposed to start by now? Why haven't they? I have no newsroom expierence and it could do a better job with my eyes closed.

Looking at Scott Stanford's twitter he's on vacation this week. I hope to god they give Tamsen a coanchor this week. It's so hard to watch with only one person and Mr.G creeping on her the whole time doesn't help

Maybe the teams for the new newscasts? (if they ever come to be)

No they don't and I'm the first one to say that. It's just kind of weird how she was off for that long back for a few days and off again. That's why I asked.

Does anyone know if Lori Stokes is ok? She was recently off for like 2 weeks now she's been off since Friday again.

I really wish WABC would update their backdrops.. I can't stand the blue shading they use in the afternoons.. Make them sharper and use different images.. Live Shots??

Ok..so its a new week..I don't know if Bill is back yet and like people have mentioned he probably isn't going anwhere..But hows this for team line ups in the future (IF BILL IS THE FIRST TO LEAVE) Eyewitness News This Morning: Ken and Lori First at 4: David and Diana at 5: Rob and Liz at 6: Diana and Sade at 11: Rob and Sade thoughts?

..and look where that got them

Probably because the 5 is an hour long.. It's probably hard and boring for one person to talk an hour straight.. Only time where they've been solo for the 5 at the desk is if partner is out in the field.. I personally can't stand solo anchors.. However Fox5 does make good with the format they use at 6pm

yeah I agree..Its been weird the past few weeks..Lori Stokes was off for about 2 weeks... They had Michelle (normal) filling in..Sandra Bookman and Lauren Glassberg which hasn't happened in a while even before she went on leave..Then over the weekend Kemberly Richhardson filled in for Rob Nelson on Saturday..David Novarro filled in Sunday.. Today Ken was out and Michelle filled in..according to Lori Stokes David will be in for him later on in the week..I don't know if they have people out but the 6:00 with Rob filling in is the biggest question.. I'm only 20 but as long as I've watch the news I don't remember them ever giving a fill in at 6pm..

I was never one for the national shows.. Idk what it is. I mean yeah if something big happens I'll turn on GMA. But on a normal day I really don't care about what goes on in a tiny little town in Kansas and little 2 year old Johnny attempting to be interviewed. Or a cat holding a family hostage and the 911 tapes being dissected. Greg and Rosanna are excellent together layed back and fun but serious when needed to be. If they were ever national they'd defiantly give at least Today and CBS a good run and probably GMA too

I think it's kind of weird that while Mike Woods is on vacation this week Nick Gregory is doing Good Day NY and Audrey Puente is doing nights..

I like the teams they had today... Contessa and Gus in the morning and David and Pat the night.. I hope they keep it this way... Pat also anchored the 5pm with Tom last night

Changes IMO definetly need to be made to be made to the anchor teams. Dick and Alice need to be put on Channel 2 and not just WLNY.. Maybe the 6 and 9? Move Dana to weekend evenings possibly? And the mornings need to be fixed. Chris Wragee was better at night.. But is good with Andrea as well as Alice.. John Elliot brings energy to the morning and I think Jill may help ratings a tad.. But let's be real Lori Stokes and Bill Evans are the morning in NY.

Yeah and keep Jill for entertainment or maybe have an evening traffic reporter?

Idk but in their defense a lot is going on in the weather dpt over the next two days and they have gone into good detail about the next storm as well as this one.. So if they went through a 7 day fast or not at all I really don't have a problem with it. It's funny cause on a normal day PIX sucks but when something requires extensive coverage they step up a bit

Just realized we were in February now... Guess we're getting "lucky" with the possibility of 3 more storms btwn now and Feb15th

WABC went on at 3pm with Bill Ritter Sade Bill Evans and Jeff Smith.. Not sure it was really necessary to go on so early

Even News12 aired it.. They cover more than WPIX does. It's actually kinda sad. But hey what do you except? They were probably investigating a crack in the side walk or something
