The mod team has established that we have too many of these catch-all threads, and it's not just a logo or correspondent change that's leading to its creation. This specific storyline with the show isn't likely going away anytime soon. It may evolve and eventually turn into a catch-all, but this feels important enough, at this time, to keep this as a single topic discussion.

David Muir was in Paris for spring break, but I don't know if he came back to New York before the pope's passing.

I moved this to General TV, as this thread can be a catch-all for coverage and anchor plans. Precedent suggests that the funeral will happen 4-6 days after death. May he rest in peace, and may the college of cardinals choose a successor to continue Francis' legacy of humanity and compassion.

I blocked the first attempt at this question, but I'm guessing you'd keep posting it. She didn't post her exit, the station would never say it, so you'll never truly find out. I'm guessing it was a part-time role post-Spectrum. Nothing more.

...Wink Martindale.

Yeah, no idea where you got that September 1st idea from. @That 00s Show As a new member, please be more discerning and responsible in future posts.

The whole show isn't the sports scores. The bit with the pen happens at the 22:00 mark.

Good Lord, this whole discussion is not worth the webpage it's printed on. There's no grand conspiracy here. You have a brand new building, you show it off. Corporate paid for it, so why not? Heck, The View did a drone fly-through of the building on day 1, showing everything, including this atrium space. Beyond that, the end of March "eviction" for Live is the likely case, but Lord knows delays happen. I'm sure their plan was to be in the studio for the start of this month, but they couldn't, so they came up with a creative, reasonably attractive stopgap measure. Credit to the staff for making this work. I doubt there's anything more to it than that.

Eva specifically mentioned that Will Reeve was in for DeMarco, but it's not entirely clear if Lara and/or Sam will be on every day. Either way, they all seem to be equals as co-hosts.

Yes, but temporarily. Mornings, I believe, but it's because it's yet another Scripps station that can't/refuses to fill vacancies.

Last Friday's 6 had the full open, before the script change. I really think only the 11 had been shortened, of those two shows.

It's definitely odd to hear.

Just announced last week. They're moving to the Evening News set later this year.

Ryan was off most of last week, but was back on Friday night, Dionne was reporting from Milwaukee on Thu/Fri, and Mark must not have been available on Thursday, so that's where Marshall slotted in. Dionne was then off for the weekend, so Mark was sent to Milwaukee for the Illini's 2nd round game, and Marshall was in-studio again. They'll all co-exist, at least for now, with baseball starting, Bulls & Hawks winding down, pre-NFL draft coverage, and the usual Spring break time off.

And why are we bumping threads from a year-and-a-half ago?

Middays on 670AM The Score is his main job, these days, so pinch-hitting at 7 is good exposure, but not an upgrade or downgrade, per se. It's just another in the notable history of sports radio hosts filling in on TV, and vice versa.

Dionne is in Milwaukee for the Illinois game on Friday, so she did the 6 from the arena, so Marshall was only on at 5 & 10.

Please keep the discussion in the separate thread. No need for it to be here.

The WPLG story is big news, so I broke that off into its own thread. Please take the discussion there.

Several stations have shown more color and design flexibility, in recent months. That said, WNYW has already recently gone in a new direction with GDNY.

It's a polarizing look, but I think the Chicago version works better, as there are simply more unique landmarks and imagery to use. Feels a little more fleshed-out. It's no coincidence that WFLD's current boss and morning anchor both came from Seattle.

New? The Good Day Seattle version came first.

All-new parade graphics debuted today, adopting lower thirds that are reminiscent of the collage-like panels in the news opens. The old St. Patrick's look was nice, but the stock banners used across all parades have long needed an overhaul. (Baichwal, Butler, Rivera, Garcia, and newbie Lisette Nunez in the station contingent.)
