    WNBC - News 4 New York

    Pat was great last night. She had great chemistry with David and is a true professional reporter. I hope they make this permanent or promote her to a weekday spot. I'd much rather see Pat on the weekday newscast than Shiba Russell as Pat is a better anchor, has been in the New York Market for years, and is loved by the viewers.

     

    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.

    Kisha starts at KMBC in March as an anchor/reporter. I don't know if this person is picking up an anchor shift yet.

     

    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.

    I feel like Diana always brings this "freshness" to the 11pm news. I really wish she anchored more than just at 5pm.

     

    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?

    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.

    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 think they've learned by now there are some sacrifices to be made for the sake of upward mobility. Rhiannon anchored in nearby Topeka years ago. Mike was a reporter there under his real last name, but he was also reporting in Kansas City simultaneously. Then Rhiannon started doing traffic in Kansas City. They were both working two jobs 60 miles apart. Then both moved to New York where one worked overnights and the other worked in syndication, and then on to Miami on a different timetable. They are a goal-oriented couple, and they have a terrific agent.

     

    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.

    Jose, It was stated in the recent Holiday promos that Rhiannon was living in Miami Beach. At best, traffic in between Miami Beach to the WFOR studios in Doral is 30 minutes and that is stating best possibilities. I know that rush hour starts at 3:30 so that first scenario she would have to leave at 3 to make it work and that 6:30 commute home would take an hour or more due to how congested it gets in Doral all the way on the Dolphin over. WSVN is literally a pebble throw away to Miami Beach on N. Bay Village.

     

    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.

    Thankfully it wasn't serious. I watch this reporter frequently with her identical twin sister who work at the same station. Both are great personalities and I could see them at the network level one day. If you read the blog post you could definitely see her bubbly side coming out. Good now she knows it's not serious she is laughing it off.

     

    Also "24 Salt Lake" is dumb. She basically had her comment in that blog post they link to yet they bother her anyway for another comment. I'm guessing she never wrote/called them back. Good on her.

     

    It's a low-rated weekend morning show. Maybe the producer knew the Graham sisters have this problem and so he/she told the director not to switch back. If I was producing the show, I wouldn't have necessarily cut back until I could tell for sure it was going to be serious. I may have done a double box with the anchor on the other side questioning the incident.

     

    Now I'm guessing you usually don't read this thread because I've speculated on this (and Rhiannon's future; it's pretty obvious they want her as main anchor) on at least two occasions here.

     

    GREAT news! While I wish him the best in recovering, it's time for some fresh blood there to run the station, and someone with enough audacity to fire Pero/Baier. They better not promote Pero to GM. IIRC, Grief used to be the ND before becoming GM.

     

    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.
