All the other ABC stations have new graphics. Anyone know what the holdup is at WABC?
Only WLS has the full package, and only KABC and KGO are without the weather portion. The other 5, through various hints, are all very close to full rollout. I can't imagine that the east coast trio aren't aiming to have it ready in time for the new 10am shows on the 11th.

Surprised they didn’t give the morning team the 9am, and the 4pm team the 12noon. That would’ve made more sense.
WBBM did that (early AM & 9, and 11 & 4), but they still added a solo anchor for their 7-9am stream. I don't know if KYW goes into the 7 o'clock hour, but adding in some solo anchor somewhere in the day might help with expansion.

Will Natasha Brown be anchoring that newscast as well?
She only anchors 9AM, occasionally at noon, 4PM and fills in at 5PM a lot.
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.

WPVI has Sarah at noon, with John Paul filling the vacant chair most of the time. So I don’t anticipate any update needed there. I’m surprised they are bringing in both Nydia and Alyana for 10am, as they are both on weekend AM, so will they move off those newscasts? It also now means they have 10 weekday anchors, 12 if you count Alicia and Christie.
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.

I almost feel the article is missing something or is just wrong. That aside and not to speculate but could Sam also be winding down and maybe just do off camera stuff and special assignments (Weather or Not etc..) and lighter reports and let Brittany do AMs and Dani afternoons?
The TVNewsCheck article relayed the ABC press release, word-for-word.
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.

When did Jori Parys join WBBM?
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.

Based upon tonight's weather report, WCBS has the new ticker too.
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.

Yea but then Mike doing mornings if that happens his wife who also is a morning news anchor but at network I wonder if she might have to leave and go local.
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.

So LMAD back to 9 then? They’re getting rid of their 9am news? Or expanding their 9am news to an hour and putting LMAD at 3? The latter would be unprecedented for the Central Time Zone. I guess most likely LMAD back to 9 and starting a 3pm 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.

That how I used to feel about KTRK's 6&10pm broadcasts up they started making bad decisions [...]
With all due respect, you sure use a ton of words to say the same damn things, over and over.

Which weekend shift?
Is he taking the morning news spot & Mark is moving to evenings? Or is he moving right into the evening spot? It is not specific.
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.

That was just one small point I was making, and you ignored every other one: The bigger point was that a graphic at GMA couldn't even fit triple digits, their high pressure symbol doesn't have arrows around it, but it has a useless circle around it, and there is no word "HOT" or red color gradient on the graphic, it doesn't say "heat dome" or anything else. Thus, it's a poorly done graphic I'd expect to see from a small market station in the middle of nowhere, not ABC News. It's too basic. You don't need a red H. You need something, anything at all, that conveys that it will be hot. Why don't you call the Eyewitness Newsroom at [redacted] and ask why they have a red high pressure symbol? They aren't going to tell you it was for the fun of it. Some other stations just take the H symbol away and put the words HOT or HEAT DOME in place of the H symbol. That's enough arguing over that.
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.

If Sarah Jindra is hosting, and if she's also going to be staying on the morning news, is it safe to say that Spotlight Chicago will probably be pre-recorded, either earlier in the day (that is, if the show will film daily), or perhaps well in advance (if they'll film multiple episodes at a time and churn them out later)?
Can't link right now, but her last day on the morning news will be August 4th.

I'm anticipating a memorial tribute TOTH ID on Monday (possibly for the week, possible at various points during the day), something filmed to air at the top of the season premiere, and possibly a primetime special, sometime soon. As for a renaming of something, I could see them going the stage route, but unfortunately, it's not that different from the studio dedication, and simply shifting it to the new facility (in whatever form) feels like it cheapens the honor. For better or worse, Bob had zero connection to the new place. I agree that they should do SOMETHING, but I'm just not sure what.
