Does anyone remember this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sa1jldtcb8c) on GDNY from a while ago? Well, now the media is starting to accuse Greg Kelly of being inappropriate. So, that brings up the question, is this just Greg being Greg, or is this sexual harassment toward Anna Gilligan? Thoughts? http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/greg-kelly-inappropriate-fox-co-worker-anna-gilligan-bikini-body-article-1.1847569 http://tunedinnyc.com/2014/07/07/wnyws-greg-kelly-fawns-and-flirts-with-reporter-in-bikini/#more-1854

When Narmeen and Jay anchored today, Jay was on the left and Narmeen was on the right: the opposite of how Scott and Tamsen sit. And in the morning, it's always been the regular way (with Kori on the left and Suki on the right), so I don't know why PIX switches it up on their weekday 5 and 10pm newscasts. Also, the promos PIX has been airing regarding John Muller's homecoming has him sitting on the right and Tamsen on the left, the same way Scott and Tamsen do now. I know most people don't care, but they should be consistent with their seating arrangements.

Tina Cervasio, who has been on FOX5 before, was doing sports tonight on Fox 5 News at 6pm. I wonder if she will become permanent? Also, I remember Andy Adler (who was in for Scott) talked with her on the PIX11 Sports Desk one night.

yup, you're right. I just saw a facebook post by Narmeen saying that they will be anchoring together. I'm glad someone at PIX has the brains to give these two some exposure. They could serve as valuable fill-in anchors in the future.

Kaity tweeted that Jay Down and Narmeen Chodhury will be anchoring this weekend. Probably on two different nights, but maybe, just maybe, will PIX team the two together?!

I agree, that's something I always did find odd...I don't watch T.I.N.Y. so besides WPIX, I've never seen it on any other station.

One thing about WABC is that you never know who will be subbing when one anchor is off! They are really the only station in NY that really utilizes all of their talent.

David Novarro & Diana Williams are anchoring together at 6:00 tonight in for Liz & Bill. A different combo...

EXACTLY. Also, you have to consider that WLNY is a secondary product to WCBS, which, although ratings are low, their morning show isn't bad. WPIX is the only product that is produced by Tribune, and their morning show is horrendous. What needs to be fixed is the content. Although it has improved since the Frances and Suki era (no more sex crap), they are still doing stupid segments like exercising with a look-alike Obama at 6:45 AM (which I know one member on this board already mentioned) when they should be doing hard news. As much as breaking news coverage is bad, I'd like to see how Suki & Kori would handle it if something big and urgent were to happen. That is really the game-changer, if they are a team that one can trust to get urgent information from. And from what I've seen, they are (especially Chambers). As much as myself and others "bully" Suki, I think she can be a good anchor/reporter when it comes to breaking news. I've seen tapes of her from 9/11 and she can be a serious anchor when it comes to that point. On another note, as much as I've been optimistic with Tamsen, I can't stand how she smiles when reading stories of shootings and other crimes. Scott has a similar problem, speaking in "sports language" (if you know what I mean) when reading these serious reports. I'm glad he's going back to just sports, that's his world. As for Tamsen, I'd like to see her go back to the mornings, but you know that won't happen. Now, maybe it's just me, but I almost wish Jodi Applegate never left. Her and another anchor (like Larry Mentde or Muller) would of made a great team in my opinion.

Never mind... They're broadcasting from where they usually broadcast. Everything's the same and the voice-over still says studio 2A. I don't know why he said 3C. Ironically, studio 3C is the studio that WNBC broadcasts from (in Rockefeller Plaza). Also, it appears sports reporter Dyrol Joyner is back on air tonight doing a report covering Belmont. I haven't seen him since March. I remember they had him doing in-studio sports segments during the weekend shows for a while.

Whoa...Scott just said he's moving over to Studio 3C for the Pix11 sports desk! Could this be a sign of WPIX moving its studios? Now I'm dying to see what this looks like!

This probably was expected, but I just saw a promo that PIX just aired regarding how Dunkin' Donuts gets you through the morning, and that you should let PIX know your story. And Marysol Castro was definitely in it. But then again, I remember one poster on this board said that he saw a promo that aired during a Mets game a few days ago advertising Suki and, yes, Frances!

I really like the "breaking news" banner on the new WPIX website.

What I don't understand is why pix dumped marysol in the first place. After all, they easily could have just demoted her, not fired her. Another thought, why do they think no one watches pix from 4-6am because of the talent? Who's up at 4am anyways? I bet if Dan and marysol took the 6-9am, people would have discovered how much better they are together than suki and kori.

This is it. The station really needs a relaunch. Take 2 months, and try to rebuild a respectable news organization for god sakes. Marysol and Dan are respected journalists, and we only got to know them for how long? Mark Effron is THE WORST ND EVER, and Carey is.....Oh I don't even know, I'm so frustrated with PIX right now. I have no ND experience, but I can put out a better product than them in seconds. Seriously, I don't know how news in the #1 market can get this bad. Ok let me try to get my bearings together after this... The talent changes weekly and everyone keeps leaving except the god also known by the name of "Suki".....UGGHH :angry: :rofl!: :bang:

I wouldn't rely on that. Ever since PIX has changed to the new tribune website, the bio page is kind of non-existent. None of the talent have a bio up. Is there a page that says "news team" or something that I don't know about? But It's wierd that Jerry Barmash doesn't know about this and the only source we have is Suki's words.

If Suki's leaving, I hope they bring back Lynne White! But if Dan & Marysol are in fact leaving, the first option is probably more likely, or they may just get a whole new team assembled all together. Another person I'd like to see in an expanded role is Kirstin Cole. She comes off as more of an anchor than a reporter.

Oh that wasn't the part I was talking about...I believe it was at 10:06 in the video, and the actual time was 8:57. It includes all of the PIX members sitting on the couch.

Just clarifying...This is just Suki talking and saying "thank you" to Dan and Marysol right? I hope they aren't leaving! After all, reports said that Dan is leaving, could this mean that the team is being dissolved all together? I don't really interpret this like they're leaving, I just wanted to clarify and make sure.

I'm sure they'll get a new set sometime, but not in the "foreseeable" future. I think PIX or WNYW will be the next to get a new set. PIX will probabally be first. According to the article back in September, they should be done already, but based on what we've seen, that's not happening. And there's no confirmed report of WNYW getting a new set either, but they just need one.

Why would Scott go back to WNBC? PIX needs him much more desperately than WNBC does. Besides, WNBC has John Chandler and Harry Cicma to work with. PIX has no one besides Scott, unless Andy Adler moves to nights which I don't see happening.

Wow this is WONDERFUL news. I was just thinking about how sad i was when John muller left. Now how about bringing back Kaity to weekdays or even bringing back Jackie hyland? Scott is a sports anchor not a news anchor. He'll serve as a great fill in though like wabc does with rob powers. Next step- get a new set and fix the morning teams (drop suki)!

PIX better make up its mind sooner or later. Like "BehindNYNews" said in an earlier post somewhere, they have to decide if they're Pix11 News or Pix11 Entertainment. They can't be both. How about airing hard news at 5pm and an entertainment show from PIX at 6pm? Or even at 7pm to compete with "Entertainment Tonight" and "Extra". This way they can sort out the stories they want to air.

I hope they start branching away from solo anchoring when one member of a team is off (especially during the evening.) I remember pre-2010, when Kaity was off, even reporters like Monica Morales would fill in. Also I believe Jackie Hyland or Mary Murphy would also occasionally sit in. I've also seen Allison Kaden anchor before, and she's not bad. Even Jay Dow could sit in with Tamsen if Scott is off.

Tamsen must have taken a half day, as Scott is solo tonight during the 10pm. I have to say, he's not bad by himself. He does a much better job than Tamsen does when she's by herself.
