You've got 'Tom at Ten', now how about 'More at 4'?

The Evening News plays by its own rules. I've seen them OPEN the 4:30 and 6:30 portions with the talent. They seem to float around, if they're aired, at all.

Are they running the talent bumpers?

Not gonna lie, I feel like this should've been Jarrett and Josh, from the start, like their CLTV days. That way they can keep a quick sportscast at 10 with Dan, and he can put a damn tie back on.

Be sure to watch Eyewitness News at 10 with Cheryl & Scott.

And really, it's only 4 times for Dan, since he's off on Fridays. I don't like that, when Dan is off, Jarrett is moving to his seat on the right. It's almost like it's Dan's show, and Jarrett only gets to sit the the main chair when Roan is off. No reason they shouldn't have equal status.

Steve retiring has us feeling some kind of way. It's hard to put into words...

We won't know the plan, tonight, as David is anchoring from Iowa.

Most likely from one of their little flashcam setups. Perfectly acceptable for a solo anchor, but not co-anchors. With ABC News LIVE relaunching this evening, I would bet WNT will remain in the same spot as over the weekend.

Also of note, for the first time in the impeachment proceedings, George is not anchoring. Terry Moran is leading coverage this morning, even though George was on GMA this morning. I've always liked Terry in an anchor role.

Not necessarily. World News Now will be coming from the ABC News LIVE set for the next few weeks, and the anchors were ready with jokes.

This. Some of these might see changes next year, but this is the bullshit we'll get to look forward to. Yikes.

WNBC graphics and possibly talent were actually used in the show's pilot. It must've been produced with NBC in mind, before ABC picked it up.

My gripe is that none of this feels like Fox. A cheap NBC style, unorthodox like ESPN, though I still don't hate it. I could live with the touchdown animation, but those comic book-looking illustrations of the players are so stupid, especially since they don't have renderings of some players. Luckily, that's a very specific thing that could be too complicated to replicate league-wide.

Tonight's show appears to be coming from one lf their flashcam setups, with brighter lighting, no wide shots, and only OTS graphics.

Well, that's way more of a departure than I would've expected. Just in that small view, it's hard to pass full judgement, but I kinda like it.

Are there any examples of these supposedly awful new graphics? Any time I've tuned into FS1 the last few days, everything seems to be normal.

Michael surely made some mistakes, but so much of this is rooted in Kelly's insecurities. Almost a decade later, she's still convinced that Regis left the show, in some part, because of her. He was 80 years old, at the time. He was just ready to go.

That crossed my mind, giving a "news" option that's mostly "exclusive" to the new service.

If it's as a reporter, it could be anywhere. If as an anchor, WBBM and WFLD have had job listings for awhile, though the former has recently taken down the position, implying that CBS 2 may have filled the position.

Maybe a little too intense for late night, but it would've been nice to see more mileage gotten out of the final sports telecast theme.

'GN Sports' launches tonight, and I can't stress enough how much I love this look. The evolution of logos is so nice.

He wasn't in the latest slate of GDC promos, so the writing was on the wall. Hopefully his therapy and treatment will help him out, on and off the job.

Veteran (semi-retired) reporter Paul Meincke is recovering out west after a trip to the ER resulted in him having heart surgery. He'll be recovering away from home til at least April. https://www.robertfeder.com/2020/01/24/former-abc-7-reporter-paul-meincke-recovering-heart-surgery/
