Like in the early years of the Times Square studio era, I wonder if "GMA" will incorporate an outdoor concert series on the rooftop of 7 Hudson Sqaure sometime in the future.  Of course, with more space limitations than in Times Square, it would need to be intimate, but I feel that it would be provide the program a great opportunity to showcase some of the gorgeous sights from that roof of Lower Manhattan.

They can definitely do the concerts in that atrium space they filmed Live with Kelly and Mark the first week they moved to Hudson Square.

I don’t think they’ll be a talent opening so I’m not worried when Bill Ritter leaves in 3 years. Then we can talk about it. Sade isn’t the most senior anchor I like Mike too some degree, wild thought what if his wife joined the station and became a husband and wife team like they did in Kansas City. That would be nice!

Sade would now be the senior anchor for the 11 pm newscast. She’s been on the 11 pm show since 2011.

I’m glad that is straighten out. The story I heard was crazy. 

According to a couple of sources. I don’t want to get into particulars.

I think Shenielle Jones is suspended. 

I’m excited for the move to Hudson Yards in the next month. The plan is to move them before the May sweeps for sure. Some may move before the February sweeps if things go well. 

Allen lived in NYC for 2 years while attending Columbia University back in 2015-2017.

The new studio will debut on the 5:00 newscast. 

With the impending threat of Tropical Storm Debby, Ed gave us a sneak peek of the new weather center in his Facebook Live chat.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they get the same set that WEAR, WSBT and KATV got. 

Or WCIV in Charleston…I’ll be surprised if it’s totally different. 

The studio is now empty. According to sources they should be on the new set in late June. 

After almost 14 years, WPDE is getting new digs in a few short months (or weeks depending on the anchors posts on social media). 

It appears WWBT has done away with the NBC logo as well. https://youtu.be/BaKNE-vKjuU?si=rxsDSX2t58JPNjtJ

What exactly did he say to get staffers so upset?

I was surprised to see Ann Curry included in a topical flashback from 2002!

Enough time has passed since the Curry ouster. That's still a hard moment to re-watch and they never regained that number one slot like they hoped. 

After 7 years, Jonathan Martin has decided to leave KRIV Fox 26 Houston. Best of luck to him. 
 

It was strange to see Eva off this weekend but was in this morning as a featured correspondent. On Wikipedia it has her as a past host and only Janae and Will are the only host. 

I read the report and now I’m more confused and concerned as to why was this allowed to go on for so long unchecked. There’s been a few time his ratings were subpar so why not get rid of him then? This seems like a set up to an ouster. 

That looks way better and makes sense!

WOW...There has to be more to it because how swiftly they got rid of Amy and TJ, they cannot possibly allowed this to go on and he's still on the air?

Seems like ABC News president is now on thin ice in regard to her handling of the Robach-Holmes situation: https://www.thedailybeast.com/abc-news-bleeding-from-self-inflicted-wound-after-gma3-love-scandal?utm_campaign=owned_social&utm_source=facebook_owned_tdb&utm_medium=socialflow&source=TDB&via=FB_Page&utm_medium=socialflow&utm_campaign=owned_social&source=TDB&via=FB_Page&utm_source=facebook_owned_tdb&fbclid=IwAR0ypak1qfZrSjWEE6Hkojj6vv5bpoViK1V5MmVrAwEbYL2IHyh4NfWaU6w

Kim dropped the ball on 2 scandals. This one and Whoopi’s. In both cases, the talent was able to host their show the day after the mishap. In both cases, all should have been off their shows the following day. Technically Amy and TJ scandal was dying down until they “suspended” them. That caused the story to get even more ridiculous. 

Another point I would like to mention is…the focus was only on TJ from the beginning and not Amy. It was best that ABC got rid of them both because the optics and backlashed ABC would have gotten if they let TJ go and kept Amy would’ve have been worse. However, this is the perfect opportunity for CNN, hell even CBS to try and scoop them up.

So are they using KCAL for all newscasts and not KCBS? I just seen a clip on YouTube of Pat Harvey on KCAL at 6. https://youtu.be/oyyoAGYJC2k

Maybe it’s me not liking change but I feel like this wasn’t the best route to take. Hopefully they prove me wrong. But this seem like a fail. 

So KCAL Morning News will be the main morning newscast? Wow that’s crazy to see for a city like LA. The CBS affiliate will not have a morning newscast dedicated solely for that channel.
