Action Newsroom

I'll give 'KYC props - It takes guts to put up such a dull, bare-bones, unimpressive logo across the building as if it'll last long

Agreed. I like that they're trying something new with their news programs that don't look or sound monotonous (not a dig at stations that do have uniformed news program names as many are iconic) and I wish them luck. And the names aren't that bad (or rather bad at all) to me either. On the other hand... That is bad. It reminds me of the first logo of The U.K.'s Channel 5. But their logo works because it's a station where news isn't it's main focus. This station's logo does not work, because news is.

^^ Wow. This station has a crazy turnover rate for meteorologists in the past several years. Hopefully one of their other meteorologists will slide in her smoothly in her slot soon. I'll miss Katie. She was as sweet and bubbly as she was talented and greatly-focused with the craft. And I wish her the very best wherever she goes and with her lovely family.

Nope. We'll know for sure from Monica when she feels it's right.

That third hour show is getting yet another name: GMA3: Strahan, Sara & Keke (with Keke Palmer officially promoted to co-host after a successful stint as guest co-host during Sara's maternity leave).

Just on the same day as KYW introduced Tiffany Savona as the a meteorologist, they have a new anchor/reporter: Howard Monroe - who previously worked as a reporter at WISH and anchor at WJZY. Here's his bio and his LinkedIn account.

Philadelphia is the #4 market. Unless you meant either she went up 8 markets or the list updated and I just didn't know.

This morning at 5, KYW introduced Tiffany Savona as the newest Eyewitness Weather meteorologist.

They look real good. Obviously designed like a localized version of the Nightly News teaser.

Not surprising. No matter what changes the network gives to its weekday news programs, the ratings always drop soon after the debut. I believe things will probably change a bit for the better later on, but at this point it feels a bit sad. (And sadly I know it'll happen when Norah begins her tenure at the Evening News next month.)

Sad to see her leave from CBS3, but very happy to her she's staying in the Eye's picture. Good luck to Chelsea on her next career destination.

I did. She was incredible!

It was a pretty good show in Philly. I was there and had a great time (cold-as-shit rain and winds aside). Even got to meet, greet and snap pics with Robin and George. The set looked awesome too. This Pop Up Stop summer tour is gonna be a great long-awaited event stunt for GMA.

Fμcking ridiculous. Kids, can you say "homophobic"? They should've kept it up. I don't care how many "people" are uncomfortable about one FB picture; those like them shouldn't have the power to sway a big 4 TV station who has that much of a more open mind than them to take down a simply innocuous photo celebrating the LGBTQ+ community -- especially when they air a program that also supports the LGBTQ+ community. Yeah sure, viewership, but when they say "I'm not watching anymore" because of one photo, do they really mean it?

Tegna and CBS have renewed their affiliation deal, continuing the the Eye's airing on 11 stations across the country.

Jeff Glor is staying with CBS News.... as he will now be the co-anchor of... CBS This Morning...   :Saturday.  He has also become Special Correspondent. (ehh, well it fits his talents well. I'm just very happy he'll stilll be on TV at least.)

Just because you're the face of a certain news program (or any TV show for that matter) that doesn't mean leaving from a "toxic environment" will immediately give you better options and not face something similar elsewhere. In Scott's case, I assume, it's 60 Minutes. Would you rather stay for that show, doing what you love, getting paid handsomely for it and be a face of the most prestigious American news program ever made (which also has its own staff, btw), or deflect to another network doing the same reports under the eyes of people watching to see it all possibly fall but realize it's not the same, or even sit on your butt doing essentially nothing for more or less the same paycheck? And in many other cases, other TV personalities who went through the same thing don't have many a choice of leaving for other networks or leaving the business entirely, so they deal with it until they finally had enough.

Scott Pelley has a(n un)surprising account of his "dismissal" from the Evening News during his interview with CNN's Brian Stelter. He says he was let go for reporting a "hostile work environment" to division executives. This was really scummy on the executives' part IMO.

I don't think it's fair to question Sharon's chances at moving to a higher-market station just because she so happened to share a studio with a certified conspiracy nut at one point in her career, something the producers should be blamed on. I'd rather go on her own merits.

Yep, I think Sarah is perfect for the 5 too. She very much deserves the promotion.

Rick's Noon co-anchor and Sunday evening co-anchor Sarah Bloomquist filling in at 5 tonight.

Agreed. I said it in my post: -I really like the L3s, but dislike the font. -The teaser is a mixed bag, but I really like the L3 of it. ...and it still stands. The Avenir type used in the last several packages worked because its light lettering and shaping complemented the the L3 very well, and it was consistently utilized. This type mix makes this one look somewhat sloppy. If Avenir stayed for this this package, I would've liked it much more -- or even loved it.

I'm speechless. I wish Monica all the best wherever she goes next, and the happiest of times with her family. But right now I will miss her on-air and everything that made her an icon in Philly TV news.  Again, I'm speechless.

-I really like the L3s, but dislike the font. I also like the bug animation to change between the name and the abbreviation. - The desk still looks great, but I miss the extensions. -The simpler Eye graphic on the screens are great. -The teaser is a mixed bag, but I really like the L3 of it. Overall, I'll get used to parts of it, but I very much like (if not love) the new look of CTM.

While I agree what we saw in the preview is at least tacky flawed and underwhelming (I do like the solid yellow Eye), I'm willing to wager there is more to it officially that isn't any of the three (at least I hope so). And I believe CTM won't stray from what made them unique and praised in the first place. We shall see.
