Days like today are when GMA3 is pretty weak. Significant implications from the SCOTUS decision on Roe v Wade and they’re airing an encore presentation of a recent episode dedicated to cooking. Any and TJ anchored GMA this morning too.
 

I’d love for ABC to find a way to make GMA 3 consecutive hours. The show has been performing pretty strongly lately coming in at #1 and beating the 4th hour of Today and other competition. 

I’m very happy about this decision but also wonder what they expect to get out of the move.

IIRC, Cecilia was working nights as chief doing the weather at 9pm.

My timing was off. She worked mornings for her last year at the station. Mike shifted to 9pm at that time.

In Houston, KRIV Fox 26's Mike Iscovitz has been promoted to Chief Meteorologist for the station; he will continue to work the weekday morning and midday newscasts, unusual for a chief meteorologist anywhere in the country (usually C.M.'s work the weekday evening news).

Additionally, former KBMT, KXAS and WEWS meteorologist Remeisha Shade has joined KRIV as their weekday meteorologist, meaning she will do the weekday evening newscasts starting in September 2022.

And ironically enough, this will be the second time that KRIV’s chief meteorologist has worked the morning shift. Cecilia Sinclair was chief met from the late 90s to the late 2000s and served the last half of that on the morning program.

The Tony’s are for stage plays which is a vital part of NYC’s entertainment industry and economy. That might be why WCBS has their A team tonight even if other CBS stations don’t.

Yeah it would really suck for Rob to not stick around. He’s a really good fit with the weekend and weekday crew.

Maybe not officially dubbed as one hour editions, I believe the evening newscasts were extended during the impeachment process of 45th. Also not a planned hour long edition but the evening shows remained on the air beyond 6:30pm covering the dramatic flight home from Walter Reed to the White House after the president’s Covid stay.

It lacks any kind of personality. Looks like a night club you’d see on an early 2000s sitcom. 4/10.

Super underwhelming to the say the least. The set looks like a damn spaceship. 
 

Fox 11 is so disjointed.

WABC has an oddity going on right now. I heard a sports game (basketball, I guess) being broadcast at the same time as their evening newscast. Very weird. 

 

Just stopped. But it went on for a couple of minutes, started during commercials. 

Yep noticed this too, it was the last 2 minutes of the preceding Boston vs Bucks playoff game that had just aired. I partly thought I was having streaming issues but guess it was a WABC malfunction.

Have we heard anything about Rob Marciano? I haven’t seen him on Weekend GMA in more than several weeks although he is appearing on Saturday and Sunday WNT.

She just doesn't want to be responsible for what is going to occur to the Democrat Party in the midterms. 

What does this even mean? I don’t see why she would be responsible and isn’t her desire to work on longer format programming? It’s not uncommon for the legislative branch to switch rule after the presidential election so I doubt she’s running from November.

I would be quite disappointed if that is truly the finished product. The backdrop looks cheap and walking by the studio it looks even more makeshift than on screen.

Very subtle updates to GMA’s first floor set including a new floating screen on the window that used to be homebase years ago. 

Any updates on the new set? Seems like it’s been well over 6 weeks…

Interesting. Not sure why I remember Sam leaving in 2012.

20 years of Robin on GMA celebrated this morning.

Shouldn’t Ginger’s 10 year be coming up soon? I don’t remember seeing much of anything about George’s 10 years with the show in 2009.

The decision to be the only station not carrying the presser looks pretty bad. It reminds me of their fail last summer when strong storms moved through the tristate area. Train stations were flooded and the MTA service completely suspended stranding passengers all across the city and WABC still went to Jimmy Kimmel Live lol. Their closing image was passengers stranded at Times Square station followed with “we’ll see you at 4:30am.”

Sam Champion has to be reading this board because today he doubled down on his wardrobe. I don’t mind it personally but they have to be intentionally having him dress down right?

FWIW, the TV was on during the 9am hour and Ken Rosato did break in twice to update the story before going to full wall-to-wall coverage. Didn’t seem like there was much to report on at the beginning as WNBC’s coverage was mostly centered around train delays for the first 30 mins.

My issues are strictly with the news production, editorial and presentation. Outside of Bill Ritter and his old man rants, there’s not a single weak personality on channel 7 imo. Even Michelle can be difficult to watch present at times but is still a strong anchor.

Really WABC’s actual news product is not very good either. It’s overtly sensationalized and editorial from the graphics to the on-screen commentary. Horrible horrible. Channel 4 and channel 2 are in a different league compared to 7.

Noticed yesterday that they were doing the new shot seen in the above photos. They’re still distanced but much less than they had been in the last 2 years.

A combination of Sandra, Sade and Lauren with Sandra covering the most and Lauren primarily at 4pm on days where she covered the 12pm for Shirleen.

Sam Champion*  

 

Although, Sam Smith would be a nice guest for both local and GMA. 

Lmao I didn’t even catch that. Not sure how that happened
