The internet is having a field day with the revelation that the average CW (broadcast) viewer is 58 years old. https://deadline.com/2022/08/cw-average-viewer-age-58-nexstar-1235092697/

Morning News anchor Dan Mannarino is taking an extended vacation, and will return towards the end of the summer. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2022/6/26/going-m-i-a-in-n-y-c I wonder who will host "PIX on Politics" while he is away.

Again?! I expect it to fail yet again, unless they want to expand the 6pm. And I agree, they need more anchors than just Tamsen and Kori.

WPIX posted a listing for a Traffic and Weather Anchor on the Nexstar Media Group website, so while I hoped Jill Nicolini would get the job, it seems they are looking elsewhere: https://nexstar.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/nexstar/job/NY-New-York/Traffic-Weather-Anchor_REQ-12656 Shadow Traffic, according to Wikipedia, merged with Total Traffic Network, and no longer exists. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Traffic

In addition to the 4 p.m. newscast, WPIX is starting a weekly football themed show called "NY Blitz," which is scheduled to start this Sunday. I agree with @NYNewsCoverage with regards to who should anchor the new newscast. Shirley and Kala are great anchors, and Craig has been filling in for Kori. The idea of Tamsen and Kori doing 4, 5, 6, and 10 is overkill.

Here is the link to the Comcast petition, which I found in this article on TVTechnology: https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/10702278919219/2021.07.01 AS-FILED PUBLIC WPIX Petition for Declaratory Ruling.pdf The TVTechnology article is at: https://www.tvtechnology.com/news/comcast-tells-fcc-that-nextstar-is-violating-ownership-cap

https://nypost.com/2020/01/11/wpix-cameraman-claims-he-was-fired-over-false-racism-accusations-from-muslim-anchor/ Now that I think about it, I wonder if this has something to do with her departure.

I figured that she was gone. She had not been on the air in a few weeks.

Nicole Tindiglia has been named the news director of WPIX, succeeding Vickie Burns. https://www.nexstar.tv/wpix-tv-names-nicole-tindiglia-as-news-director/

Apparently. I saw the talent open a moment ago, and Kori Chambers is the new 10pm anchor. I looked for info on this change and could not find any.

Former WCBS weatherman Jeff Berardelli is in for Mr. G on the news at 5.

I am surprised that FOX 5 has not maintained a back up studio at MY 9 in Secaucus for emergencies like this.....Is it currently in use? Please let me know.

The graphics, in my opinion, need to be changed overall, especially the opens.

Well, that was fast! I was rooting for Rich Graziano to turn Channel 11 around. As for Greg Easterly, I hope he gets the PIX job full time, as I strongly believe that the next GM should come from WGN or KTLA.

Well, Jim Watkins left WTNH here in Connecticut this past summer, but I seriously doubt that he would return to WPIX for anything less than primary anchor.
