No? Not without giving up the 9am. News anchors work normal, 8-ish hour shifts, like most people, but that doesn't mean 8 hours on-air.

I was legitimately trying to think of when was the last time, if ever, someone got a legit farewell. I believe Robin Robinson got some kind of tribute, but that was something like a contract non-renewal, and neither a firing or retirement. Bob Sirott got a package, as well, but his run at 9pm was only 3 years, and he's always been leaving for the NEXT thing. Maybe Walter? Even then, he was demoted before his exit. I'd definitely assume the 5, as well, but I guess we'll see about that on Monday. Scott was in for Anthony at 4, today.

See, I think all of this is stupid. Not you. Stupid that they feel the need to have such an insanely bloated anchor roster, yet refuse to declare the vacant noon chair, and use a weird solo-solo split weekend morning schedule. But this is all for another thread.

The TVNewsCheck article relayed the ABC press release, word-for-word. https://abcotvpress.com/stations/wabc-tv-new-york/releases/abc-owned-television-stations-announce-10-oclock-morning-newscasts-for-abc7-wabc-tv-new-york-6abc-wpvi-tv-philadelphia-andabc11-wtvd-tv-raleigh-durham-stationsbeginning-sept-11/ That said, I do feel like there are some details that still need to be ironed out, namely the potential need to update the noon assignments at both WABC and WPVI, but those things will surely become more clear, down the line.

4 or 5 months ago. Right around when Jackie Kostek moved to the morning news as the trending/feature/good news/a little sports anchors.

The station is uploading all the nightly Corey features, so I started & will keep updating this playlist.

Scott is shifting to evenings, in addition to succeeding Mike Flannery as political editor, so it's not yet clear what slot(s) Scott takes on.

Looking through the last several days, the new ticker is only showing up for stories produced for the streaming channels. Standard newscasts and time slots appear to be going OTA with the original ticker, and that's what gets posted to YouTube.

Bears bring back their excellent, in-house look, but with more Bear head, after it was elevated to primary status, over the wishbone C.

True, but I feel like somebody said the same thing when Phil left, and when Rob left, and yet...

Ohhhh, okay. That's fair, but I'm sure they'd be able to handle it. Besides, WNN/ATM anchor is never a long-term position. I thought you were suggesting some kind of conflict of interest in appearing on back-to-back shows.

Have...to...go...local? Why?

The 7am hour appears to be unchanged. There was a long-form interview in the middle of the 6:30, so it is still a little looser, but I think the looseness depends on the team. Karen and Cheryl S. aren't going to give you as lively of a show, among the various combos.

The hour-long 7pm show has apparently been dumped in favor of a 30-minute show at 6:30. It SEEMS like the Elgas-Burton-[rotating weather] team will continue in the streaming slot, but nothing has been declared. Ravi and Cheryl are off, so Rob anchored at 6 and stayed put, while Karen and Cheryl S. relieved Judy and Larry between shows. This means WLS joins WABC as one of the few O&O's to not air any streaming newscast between 7pm and the late news.

Yeah, the whole story should've been posted. LMAD is moving to 3, and I'm assuming the already-hour-long 9am news will air OTA. The 9:30 has just been streaming-only til now.

I know Doris Burke is polarizing, but I like her enough. But listening to Doc Rivers 3 hours a night, up to 3 or 4 nights a week, during the postseason? Goodness.

With all due respect, you sure use a ton of words to say the same damn things, over and over.

Another site obtained the memo to staff, and Hughes will be on evenings with Karen.

One ounce of research would make it fairly clear that Tamron is returning for the new season, while Rachael Ray has ended. Therefore, Tamron is moving to afternoons.

Why is all this being discussed here? There's a new thread for the 2023-24 season.

Please don't encourage people to call newsrooms, even if you're not serious. Frankly, I suggest you lose that number, as well. Nobody should be calling a newsroom line (what was posted above was a public NEWS tipline), whether publicly-advertised or not, for any trivial shit, like weather graphics. If you don't like it. Don't watch. It's that simple. Frankly, I'm getting tired of this discussion, no matter someone's opinion on this matter. That means that no response to this post is necessary. Failure to restrain from reiterating the same tired points could result in...well, let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Can't link right now, but her last day on the morning news will be August 4th.

I would guess Phil does the 7 tonight, with Jaisol doing her normal shift tomorrow. Greg will probably be back tomorrow night, with Sunday morning being the variable.

What year is this? What were the chances that his first show back would be alongside the old weekend team? "Phil, great to see you. You're like the Tom Brady of meteorologists. Retire for 3 weeks, and you're back!" "Yeah, for three days. Don't get carried away with it."

For the record, we don't know if she, Jenn Schanz, is even going to WFLD. I was just thinking of who recently had anchor vacancies posted to their websites. And, if we're splitting hairs, 32 still has that listing up, anyway. She could be going to WLS, for all we know.
