Tonight at 6pm: Adam Kuperstein and Gilma Avalos are both in the studio... I could be wrong but, isn't this the first time since March that WNBC has had both anchors in the studio?
Ok, who do we have our money on? Gilma Avalos? Jen Maxfield? Rana Novini? or someone from outside wnbc? With everything going on, they'll probably wait a little while to announce a replacement.
I could see the 7pm newscast become permanent...but no way the hour long 11pm news stays...NBC is doing it to compete with ABC which temporarily moved Nightline back to 11:35.
With the new "KidVid" rules now in effect and GMA expanding to two hours on Saturday starting Oct. 5th... When will the Today Show stop preempting parts of the Saturday broadcast and local news to accommodate Premier League Soccer?
Phew! You guys were right...the commercial that aired this morning was a mistake... Just saw another commercial that aired on NBC 4 a few minutes ago that said Kelly at 2pm and Ellen at 3pm.
The promo was generic, then at the end the announcer says something along the lines of "Kelly at 3 before Ellen" and the screen says Kelly: 3pm and Ellen: 4pm with the NBC 4 NY logo in the corner. Wish I got a screen shot of it.
No idea...and if they get rid of the 4pm newscast, are other o&o's doing the same and will they switch around anchors, etc... I be so many questions now... lol.
Just saw a commercial this morning for The Kelly Clarkson Show and Ellen saying Kelly will air at 3pm and Ellen at 4pm... I guess 4pm newscast is cancelled?
Starting today, News 4 NY at 4 will have 20 minutes of non stop news similar to what sister station WCAU has been doing at 4pm...this means the first block will run uninterrupted from 4- 4:20 with no commercials.
Craig Melvin stepping down as Saturday Today co anchor... He will still be on Monday-Friday on Today and MSNBC... https://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/craig-melvin-is-stepping-down-as-co-anchor-of-saturday-today/374944
This seems to be another step in Melvin's rise to third co anchor of the main program.
Also, I wonder who will be his replacement on Saturday.
It seems the plan was to only be in studio 6A for the olympics...but Kathie Lee over the last couple of days has been implying how they would like to stay in the studio since audience reception has been positive...We'll see...Most of the Today crew including Hoda is coming back tomorrow morning from S Korea.
