Chris Sowers is creating a new website for his weather updates. He is not joining any TV station as of now.

I believe Drew Anderson does Saturday morning, Saturday night and Sunday morning. I have seen Kathy Orr doing Sunday night. One of the stations, or NorCast Weather, would be stupid not to pick Chris up. He has many, many years of experience and is well-known in the Philly market.

Sloane said on her Facebook page that she is filling in for the morning news when needed.

It has been like that for many years. I can remember watching the station in the early 2010s and the camera was always too close. I thought it was because the green screen wasn’t wide enough and they couldn’t zoom out the camera too far.

6abc is using a mix of old and new graphics for the Eagles parade. The clock is from the old package and the lower third is new (not the usual one used for newscasts).

The intro and outro were the new ones.

The special reports from this morning were using the old lower 3rd again, but with bolder text. Another special report later in the morning went back to the new lower 3rd.

Did Channel 6 already give up on that new radar they installed last year near Lancaster? Nobody has mentioned it in a long while on the newscasts.

The special report on the California wildfire is also using the new lower 3rd.

I know on occasion they use different graphics for these special events. We’ll see if it changes back to the old graphics on upcoming special reports.

It does seem like Bill has been working less over the last couple of years. I usually see someone filling in for him when I tune in on occasion.

Robert Johnson is joining NBC10 from North Carolina as their new weekday meteorologist. I wonder if anyone is leaving?

Here are the weather hits from the noon, 4, 5 and 6 broadcasts YouTube

Paramount May be looking to sell some local TV stations From TV Spy — “Paramount Global may be looking to sell some of the local TV stations it considers ‘non-core.’ The CBS parent is exploring an option to sell independent stations in markets including New York, Philadelphia, Dallas and Tampa.” Also — CBS Mornings will be expanded to a third hour this fall. That might explain why The Drew Barrymore Show was moved to 3pm. I am guessing the 9am hour of CBS News Philly will end or be moved to a different time.

Speaking of mishaps after the graphics change, here is a blooper from March 13. Someone hit the wrong button in the control room.

WPVI is still using their old scroll ticker at the bottom. It does not lineup with the time and temp bug.

They are still using the old ticker at the bottom during the 4pm show. It does not lineup with the time and temp bug.

It looks like it will be a gradual rollout. They are still using the old graphics as of this morning (3/11)
