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.

Chris Lawrence joining WRC as weekend evening co-anchor from CNN: http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/chris-lawrence-joins-wrc-from-cnn_b112597

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.

Christine Romans named new co-anchor of Early Start on CNN; Victor Blackwell and Christi Paul named co-anchors of New Day Weekend http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/christine-romans-victor-blackwell-christi-paul-cnn_b209221

That sucks I really liked Erika and thought she was an excellent anchor at WNBC. Thought she would at least have been permanent on noon and possibly 6 on weekdays until Sibila was brought in (Not that she isn't bad or anything) But after Sibila was brought it to me it seemed like Erika would do her normal weekend gig/weekday reporting deal, and would seldom fill in on the anchor desk during the week. Although for a few days I did notice she was filling in on the weekday versions of Today in NY. Whatever station Erika lands at in Boston I'm sure she will be a great addition.

I remember Rhiannon doing that better show and Mike was I believe reporting for World News Now? Or something like that I can't recall. Wherever WFOR decides to put Rhiannon she'll be great no matter what.

You know I never thought about the evening traffic part, I however was just using examples not considering the actual commute times etc. But if she did take the noon & 6 shift, at least she would be home at a reasonable hour.

I read the threads but don't normally flip thru 53 pages of posts. I see Rhiannon doing the noon & 6 pm shows so it will at least mean she gets home at a decent time of the night and to at least have somewhat of the same schedule as her husbands. Currently he probably doesn't get home until after midnight and she's probably waking up for work around 2 in the morning. So if she were to do the noon & 6 her schedule would probably be 10 - 6:30, while her husbands is something like 2 - 11:30. This way with a new baby soon to be arriving for them one of them would at least be with the baby during the evening hours, while the other is at work. For the time frame that both are at work I can see them getting a sitter. If Rhiannon was do the noon & 6 her schedule would be something like this: 10a - 12:30p work 12:30p - 4:00p break 4:00p - 6:30p work so between let's say 1 & 3:30 she can be at home feeding her son relaxing researching other stories etc. 12:30 & 3:30 commute to/from home & work 6:30 commute home home by 7 If she were take the 5 & 11 PM shows then she would have an almost identical schedule to her husband 3:00p - 6:00p work 6:00p - 9:00p break 9:00p - 11:30p work between 6:30p & 8:30p at home taking care of her son, relaxing etc. 8:30p commute to work 9:00p - 11:30p work midnight back home.
