Natalie Pasquarella Joins WNBC this summer from Chaorlotte as new weekend evening anchor.

This is the 2nd weekend in a row that Lynda Baquero has joined Rob Schmitt at 11pm on Sunday night...Wonder if this is permanent or just temporary until they find a full time weekend evening co anchor... Personally I like seeing Lynda anchoring again.

Rob just said her husband is going to be a coach with the Buffalo Bills so that's where she's headed.

Is the station incapable of maintaining stability, or do they just choose not to?

What do you mean by that?

Is weekend TINY still anchored by Pat & Contessa, or is it now Pat & Gus?

It's now Pat and Gus...Contessa's bio was removed from the website without any explanation.

I guess Kerry Barnett will be the weekend pm anchor now?

Probably...unless the new GM wants to make more changes but I doubt that, at least until September.

Just announced at 11pm tonight that it is Stacey Bell's last day at channel 4...This month marks 1 year she's been with channel 4...No mention of where she's going.

Seems on Twitter that she will be anchoring at noon... Not sure who shes replacing on that broadcast, or if it will be a whole new team at that time.

Jonathan Vigliotti joins CBS News... http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/jonathan-vigliotti-joins-cbs-newspath-as-correspondent/261254

Eric Lerner Named GM at WNBC... http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/eric-lerner-named-gm-at-wnbc/144808

Just clicked on the link directly and it said the page doesn't exist so they did take it down... Not sure what to make of this but if it is true that she left, don't be surprised to see either Gus Rosendale or newly hired Kerry Barrett take that spot.

Kerry Barrett, who was an anchor on Good Day on Fox 29 in Philly until this past December is joining WNBC soon...Not sure of her exact position but you can follow her here... https://mobile.twitter.com/Kerry4NY

Also an article said that now they are looking for someone with a news background...Could someone like Katie Couric or Dianne Sawyer work?...or would ABC not want to pay too much money for them.

The problem was from the beginning that Rosie O. wanted to take over and make it her show even though it wasn't and I know that pissed off a lot of people over at ABC...my friend works for ABC and said no one could stand her, even before she joined the show in September!

Does NBC still live stream the O&O station newscasts ? I noticed there is no link on NBCNewYork.com or NBCWashington.com

The only link is http://www.nbc.com/live which you have to log into via your TV service provider.

They do...Not sure why there is no link but I usually just type in "live stream wnbc" in Google and it comes up

Guess there is no room in the flash cam setup for two anchors. Stacey Bell is not on.

Odd they made no mention of the tech problems and just went on as if nothing was wrong.

Bruce is in AZ doing the sports reports.

Steve is doing weather from the same flash cam where Rob was.

Must be some kind of system failure in the main studio...Rob must have ran upstairs from the 3rd to 7th floor in those 10 minutes they were off the air.

Steve is doing the weather from the newsroom also...Seems like the main studio is down for some reason...waiting to see if they explain it.

I was just about to post if WNBC was having problems.

 

Is the Today In New York 4am graphic even correct? There is no storm till Sunday evening into Monday AM.

 

The news came on at 11:10pm. They moved Rob to the flash cam in the control room.

I don't think that was correct...I think they are going on at 4am on Monday though

Rob Schmitt is on now at 11:10pm from the newsroom...some monitors behind him look off like they lost power or something

WNBC having major technical problems now...Went on the air at 11pm...no ones mic's were working so they cut to commercial imediatly...its 11:07 and there still in commercial...I have never seen this...something seems wrong in the control room!

She filled in on TINY about a year ago probably because they couldn't find anyone else to fill in.

I agree that was pretty bad...I'd rather have a serious promo telling me how the forecaster is going to accurately tell me the weather than a random country twang song showing them high fiving random people on the street...Like that actually happens.

How much longer does anyone think Ms. Turness will be around for...I give her until sometime early next year.

While I think Hoda should have gotten the anchor spot to begin with, Savannah's not that bad and the last thing the Today show needs is any more on air personnel changes.
