  1. That name is a mouthful. Something like "7 Investigators" or "7 Investigates" are/sound much better (at least IMO).
  2. Happy Christmas week!
  3. Okay...
  4. Actually Glor was a weekend anchor of the Evening News 2 years before the last remnant of The Early Show. He'd later go back to it after the former's cancellation for a few more years. I know most news anchors have less personality than the hosts but he apparently had enough to stay with CBS all these years.
  5. To each his own, but I like The Talk as much as (somtimes more than) The View. Ironically enough, sometimes for the reason you stated. I agree with all accept Wilkos. At least he cares about his guests. Those other two deserve the ax.
  6. The tweet in question: [MEDIA=twitter]806285238418612224[/MEDIA]
  7. Merry Christmas month!!!
  8. Nope. WCAU took over broadcasting rights. It's theirs for the long run now.
  9. Yep. Set's been upgraded. http://www.newscaststudio.com/2016/11/28/news-12-new-jersey-set/?utm_source=FB&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=FBPost
  10. From now on, every time I hear or read Jeezy or French Montana's names, I'll always think of ol' Jim laughing like a schoolgirl after flubbing them. That'll bring some weight to them.
  11. I don't have to tell you, but that title screams "redundant" like Nickelback screams "crappy rock music made for douchebags who drink Blue Ribbon".
  12. Justin Finch is leaving after 2 years. He has not yet announced where he'll go next. http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/entertainment/television/CBS3s-Justin-FInch-departs.html?mobi=true
  13. Right now, as we speak, I'm inside the main news studios of Fox 29; The Q is filming it's Halloween Show, and I'm in the audience. I'll post some up-close pics soon.
  14. Uhh...Mess that they created? They didn't talk with Ryan Lochte about the incident in Rio that screwed him (and--for a bit--Team USA) over and came to the conclusion that he "embellished" the truth. They didn't get into a heated argument with Al Roker to foolishly defend him. And they damn sure didn't get into a super creepy and inappropriate discussion with Donald Trump about making a run at (married) Nancy O'Dell and ending it with implied sexual assault. He did. What he got into he put on himself. And they never would've known (or had the foresight) about the boneheaded mistakes he made to have gotten him (and them by extension) into this sad predicament. Sure, to give you credit, NBC execs (specifically those at Today) hired him in place of Natalie Morales (who wanted a different job before then anyway) for and took too long to remove him from Today after the Olympics (IMO), but bullcrap if you want to believe that NBC started the mess that got Bush to lose his job.
  15. Last laugh? What last laugh? HA! Michael didn't encourage misogynistic behavior either; just Billy. So I'm glad he lost his Today job. I have a little sympathy for him for losing it in so much shame, but not enough to truly feel sorry him losing it for being a really douchey assh¤le encouraging sexual harassment and assault to a then 59-year-old creepy-ass power-hungry asswipe. And it doesn't change the fact I still find Mike pretty bad at his GMA job.
  16. Wow. In a week of anchors returning to previous stations (one-two), this is just mind-boggling. I liked Drayton a lot when he was evening anchor during the turn of the decade, so he'll fit very well with the station again during early mornings.
  17. Tacky? Perhaps. Awesome? Yes. (Plus, that pause on the Statue of Liberty might as well be a nod to the open of the 80s. At least I think it is that way.)
  18. Okay, Hudson Valley and Winchester to Long Island I do understand because they're all in New York state. The Conneticut to NJ thing makes no sense as they're moving to a different state. (Sure in the same tri-state, but still). I often thought Connecticut was a cheaper state for TV production. You're right, nynl, this is pretty big
  19. Hey, you're not the one making the move; she is. She knew she was going to a station in a lower market for (possibly) a job in the mornings, but she chose it anyway. She got something new and took it. So what if it's a demotion? She's still getting work in a major city and is joining an already-established, highly-praised weather team. What's there not to accept? People move from high positions to lower ones all the time; Just like people moving to higher positions. it's not really something to sneeze at sometimes (at least to me). Just deal with it, and at least be happy for her. Whaaaat? Anyway, Comcast didn't move her out. She chose to leave for a job. They probably gave her the opportunity, but they did not push her out. AGREED x10,000
  20. Wow, what a shock. She was a very valuable member of the WCAU on-air team, and a very talented meteorologist. I'll miss her a lot in PhIlly, but she'll be just as valuable to WRC's team in DC. Salutations to Sheena for the great work she's done here and good luck to her on the great work she'll do there in the years to come.
  21. John was never in 1A at the time. In fact, neither was any other facet of Today (human or non) until 1994.
  22. Happy Halloween Month!!
  23. That was rhetotical. I know why. Because in my opinion, right now, Michael is an okay co-host. He was a great co-host on Live, but he's only good in doses here. Just like Lara was. (And look how that turned ou with her). The fact that they're giving him more time on-screen and giving him equal billing when he doesn't deserve it (IMO) will end up exactly like Lara--not a success.
  24. The Ribbons finally got a new look. Looks great. http://www.newscaststudio.com/2016/09/07/good-morning-america-gets-shorter-name-new-open/?utm_source=FB&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=FBPost And the opening is even shorter, Michael's name gets a billing and the announcer goes by "GMA". Why?
  25. Trust me, you're in for a much better experience watching CBS. Ironically (and funnily) enough, CBS actually did have a similar format for the old CBSTM back in the mid to late 90s. Co-hosts Harry Smith, Paula Zahn and Mark McEwen brought a studio audience with them to the Broadcasting Center. It's exactly what you think it would turn out--depending on your view.
