  1. Over on the WABC board they're saying Shirleen will be anchoring the Noon broadcast on channel 7. Replacing either Lori Stokes, Ken Rosato, or both. Not certain who she'll be co-anchoring with but more than likely it'll be David Navarro. A bittersweet anouncement, but it's a good career move for her I believe. P.S. Philly seems to be a feeder market into NYC DMA#1 with so many Philly talent making the move to NY in the last few years, the question is whose next to jump ship frm DMA 4 > NYC?
  2. Nefertiti Jaquez is no longer with NBC10. Bio has been taken down from the station website. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/nefertiti-jaquez-out-at-wcau/143358
  3. I still think they should add Tamron Hall to co anchor with Matt, but that's my opinion. I like Savannah but the ratings for Today are sad to say the least. The Today show lacks something that GMA has & its working for ABC. Add Sam Champion to the weather & NBC might have a winning combination.
  4. Sharrie Williams = Cheryl Burton at Chicago WLS: ABC 7 News @ 10pm. A "Contributing Anchor" or "Third Anchor" to the newscast. Although I don't understand why Sharrie isn't the main fill in for either Rick or Monica; that has me perplexed. Isn't that the whole purpose of being a third anchor? To fill in when the Primary Anchors are off?
  5. Weekend mornings are usually throw away newscasts, but not at WABC. Rob, Michelle, & Amy are great. Its almost as if they've been working together for years. IMO they're just as good the weekend versions of Today or GMA.
  6. I agree, keep Chris on the weekends. He reminds me of a wannabe Ron Burgundy.
  7. I've never seen Shirleen Allicot during breaking news, now I know why. The "ummms" were irritating so I changed the channel. It was early in the development of the news story so I'll cut her a break. But as they say practice makes perfect. The only way an anchor gets better at breaking news is to actually anchor "off the cuff" so to speak; Hone one's skills. Brian Taff usually takes the lead but he was off today. Thank god for Jim Gardner.
  8. Lori Stokes has been the morning anchor at WABC for almost 15 years now. I think she's earned the right to a 1 week vacation every now and then, seven figure contract, benefits, etc.
  9. Really? 6th Place at 6 o'clock..wow I was wondering how KYW/CBS3 did in the November book, as I don't live in the Philly area anymore. I guess the new team of Dean/May isn't catching on
  10. Agreed. Lori should be the 5pm anchor along with Diana. Perfect chemistry and you can tell Diana likes working with Lori a lot! Bill and Sade work well together at 11pm so no change there; or make Sade the morning anchor, but it'll probably never happen.
