  1. What is that? That looks much more at home on Fox 29. The last logo looks and works much better to promote/use it. (Although I kinda do like the font used.)
  2. Everyone hates the new WABC Eyewitness News graphics. "Monstrosity", "disgusting" and "PowerPoint" are just a few keywords in some opinions.
  3. That's literally impossible. Not all viewers are old and decrepit. I'm not even in my thirties, and I'm still watching.
  4. Aww man, that was my childhood. But I'm happy to still have something to watch on the 4th. Honestly, I wouldn't mind it at all. As much as I love Action News, WCAU has definitely improved in the past several years in all parts of its news input, and I really like what's being shown. If anything, I'd help them brag across the Internet that they're number 1 If I wanted if/when this happen.
  5. Apparently they go berserk for nostalgia of technology. Censorship be damned.
  6. You know what would also be great? If Sheinelle would be there too. The show was the local powerhouse it deserved to be thanks to the pairing of her and Mike. I know Donya Archer was awesome to you all, but since I was a kid when she was co-anchor-and can't remember much about her then, Sheinelle was awesome to me.
  7. I think that's because TM makes it a given thing not to have weather segments (at least especially during weekdays) (unless of a severe national disaster-- snowstorms, El Ninos, hurricanes, what have you. But that would be awesome, though.
  8. It's about time. The current(-but-not-for-long) set clearly aged terribly after all these years. I loved it when it debuted, but after all this time, I've wished for it to be gone ever since. Agreed. Their's aged even worse.
  9. Thus wasn't mentioned earlier but Soledad O'Brien is filling in for Gayle this week. I think she's doing a great job.
  10. Just so you know, I was being sarcastic in the first part. I can understand if you didn't read it that way.
  11. Usually I don't care much for DWTS (sometimes I do watch it), but I find this highly interesting. A personality on an ABC show competing on another ABC show. Seems like synergy at the highest (and obnoxious) level. (Maybe Jimmy Kimmel could be next) But I really like Ginger and think she's a perfectly nice and bubbly person, so I think I'd watch to see how she does. Me neither. I think during her stint in competition she does either a day doing weather in LA, or stays in New York before commuting to LA to continue competing. Also, many other competitors have also done a commuting schedule from other places while competing on the show. It's grueling, but it happens.
  12. LITTON IS TAKING OVER SATURDAY MORNINGS, and it's scary. The More You Know
  13. I admit, I don't watch regularly anymore, but I'm glad I don't. I miss Nicolle and Rosie Perez. They were really good as co-hosts and truly had potential. Thanks to to drama and disasters from backstage, we'll never see that. IMO, hiring Raven-Symone and Michelle is a huge mistake, as shown with the controversial moments both of them have shown. Clearly, Raven can't say something constructed and sensical and Michelle can't say something worth following or funny. They have made some inroads with bringing Joy back and hiring Sara, Candace and Paula, along with some of the contributors, but The View isn't what it used to be. I wish the producers luck in continually finding strong consistency and likability in this group, but for now (at least until the Fall), I won't see myself as a regular View-er.
  14. Can we not do this, please? Robin is the most beloved on the main team, and it never crossed anyone's mind on the staff and this forum on whether or not she would leave. No one wants to say anything here until the time she makes it official.
  15. Wow. Awesome. Father and son together in Market 1. Maybe some crossovers with the network in the near future? That'll be a great sight.
  16. This clearly looks perfect for the morning show--but it's a little too cheesy for even that. (and that music!) Since they're trying to make it look like they've extended it to 11pm, it's sad that this is part of the best they could come up with right now.
  17. It's not just that they think they'll beat Action News. It's that we all know they won't. Not even by half. I don't think they're gonna even reach NBC10 because they have a more improved and much better news product to watch. CBS3 is getting better, but not enough to reach 10.
  18. Rest In Peace, Abe Vigoda (1921-2016)
  19. Umm...is this your way of saying "I disagree, I think things should stay the same"? Because if so...why?
  20. What an absolute shock. Condolences indeed to her family and coworkers.
  21. Good for her. She was a great weekend meteorologist at WCAU, and will be missed. I'm sure this was her choice, as said above that she'll be closer to home, and I wish her the best of luck there.
  22. Impressive. It's not in-your-face or bright and colorful, and is perfectly darkened with great amounts of blues and red, with a globe image that fondly reminds me of the open from early into the Diane Saywer era of WNT. A great improvement. ABC really stepped up with their graphics in time for election season, and that is fantastic.
  23. Agreed with all of this. I usually enjoy Lara (or at least tolerate her) when she does the human interest/fluff stories, but when she fills in for Robin, I'm really turned off. She just can't do hard news (maybe it's the perception of her in general and her work). She was just really great when with Josh and Sam. Their chemistry (with and without Robin & George) was spectacular and couldn't be broken with a sledgehammer. It was one of the reasons I watched GMA during that era and was a regular fan of their after-show on Yahoo. On Amy, she's great doing whatever you give her. She already proved herself as news reader, but really shined when she also fills in for Robin (perfect chemistry with) and does just as amazing with lighter stories. I generally like Lara too, and I agree that while she's great with what she does best, Amy is great at it all and should get paired with Robin and George more than her.
  24. On the other hand, congrats to Steve on this new position. He's a great fit for NBC and will do very well. I can't wait to see report on Today and Nightly News sometime in the new year.
  25. This actually would've been a cool feature if they hadn't made the screen that big. This really isn't needed. Just a two-screen and they're all good.
