cement Dick into a permanent role

Ha...ha..

Tom Negovan and Lourdes Duarte are in for Mark and Micah tonight. Is Tom the primary fill-in for Mark now, or is it usually Ben? Or is it a mix of both?

It appears that way as of recent. Tom has been the primary sub quite frequently recently.

People still watch that thing??

I think it's interesting that the newest evening news promos include everyone on the Evening team except jerry. Only Scott is in them. Wonder if jerry is almost on his way out?

The Tom and Jerry analogy is funnier if you replace the cat and mouse with Skilling and Taft.

Lol haha, TRUEEE.

4:00 AM and Ana Belaval do not go together. That's like Tom and Jerry; they hate each other.

Ignore my two previous posts, clearly, I'm a little behind the game.

Sorry, all!

Lisa Chavarria has switched to NBC 5 (reference the Feder article above)

Craig Wall is heading to ABC7 to be Chief Political Reporter: http://www.robertfeder.com/2017/06/08/craig-wall-headed-abc-7-lisa-chavarria-joins-nbc-5/

Point is there having electrical issusz

Haha got it; I was just messing with you!

Theres this one light on WBBMs set that keeps going out they keep fixing out but it kerps going out

Lol

I think the old desk would look better than that. They have to sit on stools bc if you put a regular chair there, Lou and bill would half to hang off the platform just to fit. I doubt they keep that desk very long. We'll see though.

What average viewer is going to notice this? I mean it's not ugly but it's just not exciting. At all. It's a news set, that's about it. A 1995 news set. And that desk may not technically be a two-seater, but it's as close as you can get to one - you can see the weather & sports guys' chairs and lower bodies for Pete's sake. I was watching at 5 to see if it might debut and all I can say is major yawn as far as I'm concerned. Other than that, nice! LOL

Completely agree! I'm just waiting for somebody to go flying backwards off of that one person, piece of plastic desk... the 2009 set can come back now.

The area to the right looks identical to WLS' weather center.

I'll honestly admit that I'm not a fan at all. It's too generic looking. There's nothing that pops on it. Just mega screens with a 90's frame. Just my opinion.

And another disappointing night.... still on the temp

Nothing as of this morning either; I don't want to rule out 9pm just yet though... ya never know. Idk why they stated a week or two ago that we can anticipate the set being launched in the next few days... good ole 'FLD!

Historically in years past, it has always been the first Sunday in May. We shall see... with the game, anything is possible I suppose. Can't say I'm holding my breath though.

Here's a pic of the new set from Robert Feder's blog today:[ATTACH=full]3841[/ATTACH]

Old news, bud. Checkout the sets & studios forum.

Might've helped if I put quotes.

It's all good; I should've read the post more thoroughly.

Lol, well that's awkward. Disregard what I said.

Kind of rude for him to say, considering they gave him a shot after being cut from ABC7

He must've gotten in trouble for that one... the "PS" comment is no longer added to the post.

I'm sorry but is this a joke (I know it's not)... Another Alexa Helms?
