    Agreed. I don't want/care to hear any more opinions on anchor character in this situation, positive or otherwise. We can discuss this matter further if/when any involved parties speak out, or reasonably-reputable publications release anything new. Good day.

    The idea that Shirleen pushed and shoved her way up I-95 to dethrone Lori is laughable. Clearly WABC management had some kind of long-term plan to groom a new morning anchor, and if it wasn't Shirleen, it would've been someone else. She's not some homewrecker, and honestly, using the Rosato incident as an excuse to air Allicot grievances just comes across as defending Ken's word(s), even if not the intention.

    Good God Almighty, THIS.

    Welp, if that's true, it definitely wasn't a racial slur, but geeeeeeeez.

    Good Lord, does this thread need to turn into fantasy anchor line-up listings every time someone at WABC blinks? It's purely speculative, based on almost nothing. Do we need to have some users review the site rules?

    The FTVLive posts says Ken and the station are negotiating the terms of his exit. Yes, the bio is still up, but as stated, the talent opens and mentions of his absence are non-existent. That's all that's known, right now.

    Lauren Glassberg and Sandra anchored at 4. As for Bill, he only recently returned from a knee(?) surgery. I'm guessing he might be on a reduced work schedule, for a little while.

    Pretty sure that's what "sometimes" means.

    Oh, it is. That's a holdover from the old look. That's one of those things that kind of gets a first day pass, but it needs to go. Enforcer also closed the 6pm news, but that's obviously a mistake that I'm sure was a one-off.

    MARGINALLY better at 10? But the bar is so low. I'll give them a week or two to see if they iron out the most egregious kinks.

    Discussion ongoing in the new O&O graphics thread, if you want our, um, mild opinions.

    The freaking desk.
  13. 24994J
    Nice. I hate it.
  14. 24994J
    Because no one gives a damn about that basic attention to detail. How can they be one of the last stations to switch, and look not at all ready? No updated video loop, the desk graphic in the same. Shall I continue? Points for not using the CBS Sports Los Angeles graphic, because the bar is just that low.

    Goddammit. At least the CBS2 isn't still outlined...I guess?

    I forget that Gutfeld even exists. Turned it on for 20 seconds. Tattooed, backwards hat guy, draped in a wrestling belt: "Jill Biden isn't a real doctor," because she can't do surgery, or whatever shit. Annnnnnnd, pass.

    Honestly, I'd be totally okay if they were to bounce the evening team to a 6pm start, giving the 4pm team an additional hour, unless they eventually envision a 3pm newscast for that crew, considering the bleak hellscape that is daytime syndication. That said, Skilling is gonna do what he damn well wants, as he damn well should. IF he were to cut back, I think he keeps the marquee late block. There's little reason to relegate him to their 2 weakest hours of the day (neck and neck with NBC5 for 2nd at 5pm, and an outright 3rd at 6pm). As for Micah, I'd imagine they're in no rush for her to return, at this point. Her doctors are obviously calling the shots, and not her bosses, but with 2 election nights already missed and summer coming up quick, nothing major should be rushing her potential timeline.

    This thread is about Tucker's dismissal, any pending litigation, his next career move, the network's plan for the time slot, and other related matters. If it further devolves into largely unrelated political matters, we'll shut this down. There's literally anywhere else on the rest of the internet to discuss and/or rant about such matters.

    Each subject has its own thread, already.

    And he will be taking over on weekend mornings, starting next week, I think? Pretty much, anyway, as Iisha Scott's baby is due within 3 weeks, and when she returns, she will be moving to 11am & 4pm with Alex and Marion.

    I'll repeat, since some of you are running with that screenshot... WBBM has not debuted the new look. That image is from a promotions department video from last fall. It is not necessarily a sign of their final branding.
  22. 24994J
    Even if Tamsen is going on leave, for any extended amount of time, like others have said, they still wouldn't outright replace her in promos. bxxx_pm__bookend_promo_10 (1080p).mp4

    Just for the record, this series of videos was posted 7-plus months ago. Things could have changed, since then, but yes, it's the only thing any of us have seen hinting at where they might be headed with the branding.
  24. 24994J
    And who's paying for them to have 6 weeknight anchors? Certainly not Nexstar or any sane station owner in 2023.
  25. 24994J
    That's a normal thing. My affiliate airs this every morning coming out of the final break of the morning news. She doesn't have a newsy role, but I'm guessing she has the availability to provide these pre-recorded previews throughout the morning.
