Reporter Anita Oh is leaving to go to law school https://www.adweek.com/tvspy/philly-reporter-leaves-heads-to-law-school/207482?utm_source=sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=ABN_TVSpy&utm_campaign=TVSpy_Newsletter_2018083012&s_id=5ae45ccd05e94e5ca046281c

I thought it was pretty interesting. Definitely is different than other Philly newscasts. It has a 'Good Day Philadelphia' feel with them sitting around the couch. I like that they show a lot of behind the scenes cameras, like the newsroom and control room. I think it's unnecessary to have Ukee and Kate on there. They should leave Ukee and Kate with the 5, 10 and 11 and just let Lauren, Natasha and Alexandria do the 4. Feels like there's too many people on one show.

Well, this is interesting (if true) https://www.phillymag.com/news/2018/06/14/cecily-tynan-assault-u2-concert/

That’s not good! They revamped the morning show two years ago by adding Donovan. Then they replaced Brooke Thomas after six months. Wonder what drastic changes they would make this time around?

Erika Martiń is leaving NBC10. This past weekend was her last. That must be why they hired Steve Sosna https://twitter.com/ErikaMartinWx/status/909630715440005120

New job posting for a meteorologist at CBS. I'm guessing Chelsea Ingram is gone since she mostly filled in on the weekends while Lauren Casey filled in for Bilo on maternity leave. https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=ddf43b1f7c7e0fbc&q=Meteorologist&l=Philadelphia,+PA&tk=1bq12rrn12sskfmt&from=ja&alid=5757aca1e4b0bd249c85c9dd&utm_source=jobseeker_emails&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=job_alerts&rgtk=1bq12rrn12sskfmt

That's interesting. I thought it was just special coverage for Hurricane Irma. Is it really necessary to have a 5pm broadcast on a Sunday? Didn't think that many people watched during the weekend

I really think we're gonna hear about retirement soon for Glenn. With the addition of Steve Sosna, they will now have six meteorologists. You could make it seven if you count Violeta Yas, from Telemundo 62, who occasionally fills in on Channel 10

Looks like Justin Drabick will now be doing weeknight traffic reports for KYW Newsradio. He said he will be doing the weather for a few more weekend mornings. Wonder if the new guy will fill his spot or they're looking for someone else? https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1470315669654157

Looks like Channel 6 re-did their weather graphics a bit. There's a new banner for the titles and some of the forecasts are changed

So far I am liking Kyla Grogan. I think she's perfect for a morning slot since she seems hype and has a great personality

Now they sent Vittoria down the Shore today. They are calling it "CBS3 At The Shore"

Why has Justin been doing traffic recently? Did they get rid of Vittoria Woodill too?

I've been wanting to check it out but I always seem to be out to lunch at that time. Is it just like a regular newscast or does it still have some stuff from Talk Philly?

Carol Erikson just announced on Facebook that she got offered a new contract at CBS3 but is not taking it

Yup, it's true http://www.philly.com/philly/entertainment/celebrities/20150630_CBS3_fires_Reece__May__Orr.html

I saw on Facebook tonight that Chris May anchored his last newscast on CBS3. What is going on there at the station? They stopped Talk Philly, they took off the 7-9am broadcast on The CW, and now Chris May is gone.

Is anybody else having trouble watching the videos on the NBC10 website? I haven't been able to watch anything for months. I tried all different browsers and still no luck. I have Adobe Flash enabled for my main browser (Google Chrome). When I hit play on a video, it says "THE SELECTED ITEM IS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE"

David got back to me and said "fast forward this about 8-9 years and you may have something there ". Guess it was just a rumor (like I expected)

I saw that comment too and sent it over to David on Twitter. I'll see if he responds back.

Amy Buckman is leaving Action News after 25 years (according to Ali Gorman) https://www.facebook.com/6abcAliGorman/photos/a.10151635649947161.1073741826.139159362160/10152326493782161/?type=1

Rosemary Connors just posted a picture on Twitter that said "Guess who's back...We'll see you at 9AM". It was her and Michelle Grossman standing together in the studio http://pic.twitter.com/gElldl7qgG

Did anyone else catch Adam Joseph doing the beginning of the weather on the screen behind the anchor desk? It happened around 10:35 last night on the PHL17 newscast. They had StormTracker up and then it went to an Action Cam shot and then to the Chroma Key

Over this past weekend, CBS3 wasn't using their studio for the newscasts. The anchors were sitting in front of the control room and the meteorologists were doing weather outside on the SkyDeck. Were they changing something in the studio?

Why are most of the 6abc meteorologists and weekday morning anchors posting on Twitter so much about watching Action News starting at 4:30 tomorrow? I wonder if there's going to be a big announcement or something? All the meteorologists keep saying "watch David Murphy for the latest weather", Karen Rogers posted about traffic, and Tamala Edwards posted something about Target brand ice cream. They never advertise this much about the newscast unless they're starting at an earlier time or something big is announced. Just seems odd
