Did WPIX pick up the Yankee games? On their website about page says “In addition, PIX11 is the first New York over-the-air station to carry both the Mets and Yankees at the same time in their history. PIX11 has been the broadcast home of the New York Mets since 1999, and broadcast home of the Yankees since 2015.”

This only my opinion based on what I saw when she. On PIX - she seemed uncomfortable with the small talk banter with the others - not that she had a problem with the others she work with - Betty is a accomplished journalist and this type of fluff talk was going to hurt her credibility that she earned - nobody at fault, just a bad fit for all involved

I Don’t think this news - why would they use the traffic set from a year ago?

The facts are these: tv stations want more retransmission fees and cable is losing subscribers. Cable needs some help in ririberjustifying paying higher rate and stop the subscriber bleeding. In any case cable will be screwed in the couple of years with the advancements of ATSC3.0 - OTA broadcaster will be easier to receive and Tv will be able offer internet service, cell phone and other data products, even on demand, localized advertisements .so the cable sees the future and it is not good. Cable will go away like landline telephones

The main studio for both WPIX and NewsNation has been under construction since last June, so maybe it will finished by April - currently Abrams and Cuomo are done in the WPIX auxiliary studio

What I don’t understand is that they keep boasting that they have the news resources of all their station. Here in NYC, PIX broke in with a bulletin, why not show that? In fact to make it look like a NN bulletin, put the reader in front of a green screen with a NN background for the national, and a local branding for the station

Nexstar is also doing a major deconstruction/construction of the WPIX studios for local and NN programs - probably would have the same high tech video walls as NN Chicago

I really do believe that Nexstar will eventually build back WPIX. WPIX really got screwed by there former owners and management. Is it going to happen overnight, no, but at least give Nexstar a chance and stop bringing up the bad decisions made by non-Nexstar management years ago.

The 6 and 10pm should take a harder approach with no jovial news anchors. Bring back the likes of Bill Jorgensen, Jim Watkins, Pat Harper) and used the seasoned reporters only that they have (Murphy, Harry, Ford, Rothschild) and have a news set that does not look like every other news show - have an evening news set that says ‘we mean business no fooling around’

Maybe not a demotion, but maybe a weekend anchor for NN He was on ABC overnight before the evening gig on PIX

Are NewsNation staffer kidding? They are trying to get more viewers, more viewers, more money. Bandied group shouldn’t complain, they had their chance to improve, an as followup from Cuomo, their ratings could improve. Stand united.

The trouble with 11 is that all of their newscast have the same “light and fluffy, morning type newscast. In the evening, one anchor starts the and the other one finished it - and the worst evening news commercial is when they say how much like each other - laity an Jim didn’t do that. Stop the damn smiling and report important news with serious and authoritarian way of speaking

Fox reneged it obligations on servicing NJ and Optimum must have some franchise obligations to the NJ town they service. How can they get away with this? Are they breaking agreements, of course they Are, any retribution no. Why is the happening? Politicians are being greased - both sides/ they all suck

I know NYC stations carry stories for northern NJ and I am sure Philadelphia that stations carry stories for southern NJ - that said, I am surprised that there is not a NJ news program that is produced by owner groups that have stations in NYC and Philadelphia - was this ever tried before? It can be run on one of their sub-channels

Someone mentioned on Discord that WPIX dropped Air11 True?
