I missed the 6 PM last night, however I did catch the 11 PM and that was the first time I saw Rob fill-in anchoring on the 11 instead of just the 4 PM and I can get used to that (If indeed Rob is the one to replace Bill when he retires)...The whole team was great last night

Maybe Rob is prepping to take Bill's place (as you mentioned) when Bill retires and Laura is going to take Rob's place? BTW you mentioned that Rob was anchoring at 6 did he also at 11 with Sade or did Sade just anchor solo?

Oh okay thanks.

I didn't wanna start a new thread about this, but I'm just wondering is Harry Cicma moving more towards general assignment reporting at WNBC? Because I haven't really seen him doing sports on the weekends; rather I've seen John Chandler someone or other do the sports segments on the weekends. So just curious are they gonna make John the main weekend sports person? and just have Harry do general reporting? Btw I think Harry does good when he does general reporting.

Posted this in the Rob Morrison thread, but thought I would post her as well. Rob is joining WTNH as weekend morning anchor : http://ftvlive.com/todays-news/2014/2/28/hes-back

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but former CNN/HLN anchor/reporter Miles O'Brien had to have his left arm amputated following a recent accident : http://pix11.com/2014/02/25/journalist-miles-obrien-had-to-have-arm-amputated-after-accident/#axzz2uORozIf4

And another one is leaving KOKH. Reporter Priscilla Luong is leaving the station after nearly 3 years. She says she will announce where she is headed on Thursday, her last day at the station. http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/priscilla-luong-leaving-kokh_b116089

Well looks like Rhiannon Ally won't be getting the evening shift at WFOR, they have hired KPRC weekend anchor Irika Sargent to anchor the 5 & 11 PM newscasts alongside Rick Folbaum. She begins in May. http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/

Apparently WNBC doesn't agree with you since Pat is only used as a fill-in on the weekday newscasts and Shiba was promoted to the weekday anchor position less then what 6 months after being hired on as a weekend anchor. Sibila was also hired on right away as a weekday anchor not a weekend anchor. Pat has been with the station for how long? And she's still being passed over for a weekday spot...but then again you gotta realize she's a NJ reporter so perhaps they want her to remain a weekday reporter to cover NJ stories and have her continue her role as weekend anchor albeit perhaps on the evening newscasts.

WNYW has named Simone Boyce as entertainment reporter for the station's evening newscasts. She begins on Monday. http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/new-york-fox-station-adds-entertainment-reporter_b114950

Looks like PIX has added a new reporter to it's lineup. Ayana Harry joins the station tomorrow from WTIC the Fox station in Hartford, CT: http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/wpix-adds-reporter-from-hartford_b114529

Loriana Hernandez former anchor at Fox owned station KBTC in Austin has been diagnosed with an aggressive from of leukemia while having blood work done as part of the process to have a second child via in-vitro : http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/former-ktbc-anchor-diagnosed-with-leukemia_b114085 Here's wishing her and her family the best and may she win this fight against this awful disease.

Brandon Lee known as Brandon Rudat when he anchored at WGCL in Atlanta has joined KTVK in Phoenix. Will co-anchor the 4:30pm newscasts alongside Jaime Cerreta. http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/brandon-lee-joins-ktvk-in-phoenix_b113570

I missed it dang it how was he on his first day on the anchor desk?

Walter Makaula made his debut on WFOR this morning : https://twitter.com/LissetteCBS4/status/423619364823519232/photo/1 Also Miami Fox Station WSVN has a new redesigned site as well : http://www.wsvn.com/

Oh okay thanks!

Anyone know what happened with Liz Cho? She was on her normal time at 4 but then when the 6 PM show came on she wasn't there.

Oops forgot about her too

Kisha is what the 4th person to leave KOKH in less then a year. Liz Dueweke left in April to anchor the morning news on the ABC station in Seattle, Mark Taylor left not long after to anchor the news at some station (I forget which) in Denver, Jamie Cerreta left in August to anchor at 3TV in Phoenix now Kisha is leaving in March to join KMBC. Seems like the people at KOKH are dropping like flies.

Not sure if she's doing the 11 all week. Thought it would be Liz as she was doing the 11 all week last week, then thought it would be Joe since he did the 5 but guess he's just in for her at 5. By the way anyone know when Sade is coming back on air?

Diana Williams in for Sade at 11 this evening.

TVspy doesn't have this story yet but Erika Tarantal joining WCVB in Boston from WNBC in New York. Last newcast at WNBC was last night, no word on what shows she will be anchoring at WCVB or if she will just be doing reporting.

Wow same station former WABC weekend morning anchor Phil Lipof joined just last month. Wonder what shows she'll be anchoring.
