A few weeks ago Dan was doing noon-6 PM and Clayton was doing 10 & 10:30 PM. Kathy Craine posted on Facebook she is currently working from home and Dan has been filling in for her - guess they didn't feel like trying to have her do the forecast from home?

This is an interesting move... at least he's staying local!

Karen Rogers was on during the GMA cut-ins. Maybe Chris got in for the 10 PM show, then stayed up until the morning shows, then went home?

She will be missed!!! Always loved her forecasts and her personality!

But ABC has pretty bad prime time also, especially at 10 PM... but people are obviously tuning to 6 at 11.

I was about to post the same thing. I was in my kitchen making dinner at looked at the oven clock at 6:46 and thought, wow! There hasn't been a commercial yet. I actually like the long intro thing. It gives enough details that if I don't want to keep watching, I don't have to, but leaves out some details. Lately this has been the kind of thing I turn on after my local news (on an independent station) ends and I start messing around with dinner in the kitchen. I can still see the screen from there and if I hear something interesting that I missed, I rewind the DVR

Wendy Davis said she was exposed to COVID-19, so she's at home. I don't know if she has it or not, though.

So random...

I saw that. Interesting, to say the least.

I noticed this this week also, although I haven't gotten a chance to see it. I'm not really sure why the Lehigh Valley needs 5 hours of morning news coverage... or should I say, the same 15 minutes of news repeated for 5 hours. I'm guessing they had to fill a gap left by whatever used to air at that time - not sure what it was or why it's gone.

That's the thing about Sarah. She's a great reporter AND anchor.

Both Nydia and Tamala have fairly young kids (so does Sarah). So maybe their early morning / weekend hours work well for them. Sarah has at least a daughter, but she kept her noon / weekday evenight reporting duties even after having her, so maybe she's been able to make it work for her family-wise. Sarah is great and really does deserve the 5 PM slot. If I were her, I'd be pissed if one of the "newbies" got it over her (unless she didn't want it). In a situation like this, do these people have to wait for their contracts to end, possibly, before taking on a new role? Or would they just be amended.,

I was a kid too but I still watched the news!

Anita Brikman used to fill in a lot for various people. Didn't she anchor weekend mornings with Scott Palmer? And when Rick and Monica moved to 5 PM, Scott and Anita filled in for them until they got Matt and Sarah, then Tamala

But NOT on WFMZ??

Wendy Davis seems to have more vacation days than any other anchor in the Delaware or Lehigh Valleys!

Sara Haines and Strahan are both equally annoying and so I guess they would be good together. Sara's voice just grinds my gears for some reason.

Last Friday Will Lewis was filling in for both. I don't understand why Jim & Melanie don't fill in when either Rob or Wendy is off. Although Jim did fill in with Wendy on election night last week. The fill in situations are so random and make zero sense.

I just can't believe that people thought he was KIDNAPPED. What is wrong with people?? And, I don't think having Berks sports coverage with someone else is at all strange. It's so far from the regular news room and there's no way they could have the same team of people cover everything, especially including video footage. Berks County is huge.

new update from Ed Hanna:

It's so very random. Sometimes Eve and/or Jaciel is ALONE for 4 hours - though has not happened I don't think since Eve returned. Sometimes Rob or Wendy is off and they anchor alone, sometimes they have a fill-in. Makes no sense to me. I prefer them together.

I've always thought Sarah was really underutilized as an anchor, but she's also a great reporter. I think maybe they realize both. I remember being upset when they brought in Tamala Edwards from nowhere to anchor the morning show with Matt O'Donnell. Sarah and Matt were a great pair! Still miss that actually. I need to watch 6 more often again. I've gotten into a pattern of watching 69 (being from the Lehigh Valley) but it gets stale when they continue to report the same things over and over again.

I'm a teacher and caught GMA one day last week during a snow day. I found Michael's presence to be annoying, and the studio audience thing towards the end just seems out of place. Also, what has always bothered me about Michael, WHY DOESN'T HE FIX the gap in his teeth?! Drives me nuts!

No, I know that, I just thought it was interesting since KJWP has no news at all, and didn't before. Also isn't it licensed to Wilmington, DE? What a large reach they now have for the news updates

I just happened to turn my TV on to METV channel 2 the other day, around 2:45 PM, and Joy and Jaciel were giving a news update from the PPL Center studio during the commercial break of whatever show was on. The backdrops behind them even used the METV logo. I thought it was really interesting.
