He’ll often throw comments in especially after political stories.. police involved stories.. and ALWAYS when it involved/involves Trump.

Couldn’t agree more.. I’ve actually started to turn to other stations because of it. I’m actually really starting to like WCBS at 5.. and I love the format at 6 on FOX5 with Lori Stokes. If FOX5 would get more serious at 5 I think a lot more people would tune in with Steve and Lori.. And let’s be honest if he was commenting “the other way” (we’ll leave it at that) it would not be allowed.

I don’t think a seating arrangement would force someone into retirement

WABC is the only station having their anchors sitting distance.. PIX and WCBS ended it this week. Wonder when WABC will follow

Watching the news at noon right now and both anchors are at the desk back to “pre-pandemic” sitting. I believe this is the first time the noon news is in the main studio since the pandemic began. That leaves I believe only WABC with anchors social distancing.

Did anyone else see that Sukanya Krishnan and Scott Stanford are hosting a 9/11 special type thing.. seemed like it was a law firm infomercial on WLNY.. guess their podcast is getting them other air time?

Any is doing the 11 tonight probably won’t be back tomorrow morning

Why are you surprised? He usually works Monday thru Thursday.

I gotta give it up to WCBS they had by far the best coverage of the parade today in my opinion. It was nice to have the entire team out on the parade route and with the crowd. After flipping through all the stations, I really say they did it the best and were def #1 for coverage today.

According to social media Brittany Bell starts Monday (not sure if that’s on air or not) and when someone asked who was leaving she said no one.

Michelle will likely anchor the mornings with Ken through the summer. That’s what’s happened in the past. Toni will likely do weekends

With Cuomo pretty much ending all restrictions it’ll be interesting to see if stations finally go back to normal seating and such

I don’t agree with you here.. Greg still has quite the following among viewers and even guests.. a lot of guests that used to appear on good day that no longer do now appear on Greg’s show.. you see a few people on Twitter that don’t agree or fire bsck or whatever on his page but that’s all SM.. if Greg were to come back (chances are low) i don’t see it hurting in any way

Let’s say she takes over the noon and 4... does Sam Champion start working Fridays?

Time to rethink the standing anchor thing

So now to Lori’s replacement.. they say they’re looking for younger male talent.. I really hope they go outside the station.. I don’t see anyone at the station capable of filling the role.. maybe Robert Moses?? But I think that would get old fast. I said it before but This move could def move WNYW to 2nd behind WABC at 5 and 6.

Lori would do good with Steve and honestly with her at night I could see sliding into 2nd behind WABC. As for GDNY they’d have to look outside I don’t think anyone currently at WNYW could fill the spot. Could turn interesting

So far it seems WNBC and WNYW have ended social distancing... news 12 seems to have most on air staff back in studio.. it can’t be much longer before others follow. New Jersey ends all capacity limits and such friday.. which is the last major restriction in place for the tri state so maybe they’re waiting for that

I noticed that the past few nights.. specifically with Lucy Yang as mentioned. However over the past few years (specifically during the past administration) Bill Ritter.. ONLY Bill Ritter.. would throw comments in making it quite clear of his political stance. It’ll be interesting to see what happens over the next few weeks.

Rosanna and Lori on FOX5 were sitting “normally “ this morning

Is Kaity back? I know she was having some serious health issues.. my money says Jill Nicollini or Kirsten Cole.. I also remeber a few years back when Chris Burros was there they had him and John Muller anchor a few times together. But it'll most likely be one of the women.

Sade is anchoring at 5 tonight.

Watching the noon newscast it looks like they updated the backdrop. A new and updated image of Lower Manhattan

Can we really blame him here? He didn't study journalism.. The executives, however, know what's up.. They need to open their eyes and ears
