Tsk tsk J... you're slipping...

Interesting that the new one is missing the "Last Year" line... Other than the logo they are identical otherwise... I still vote for "ABC7 Live Doppler 7 MAX 7 Weather"

From their app:

How boring....

Sometimes it gets strange... call me when Mark Giangreco anchors the 5pm leading into world news...

But it's a business... if showing 3 hours of hamsters running on a wheel in prime time made money they'd show that. Would it be a waste? Probably but that isn't the point...

News is cheap. All you need to know.

Chad Matthews returns to Channel 7 as Assistant News Director. He had been Assistant News Director at WTVJ in Miami for the last 5 years. He had been a Senior EP at Channel 7 prior to his stint at WTVJ. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/chad-matthews-departs-wtvj-for-wabc/187979

Yes. Believe it or not... Sunday is in fact the biggest night.

Saturday is the lowest viewed day of the week. Sunday is the highest. If you had to choose one to have a full complement on duty which would you choose?

Is she just randomly in the Ellen audience?

There's a reason they split in 2007... it isn't because they saw cables demise coming either....

Neat... he hasn't aged much really....

Which seems better than 50-50 given how their talent hangs on forever. Kind of amazing Krashesky has been there that long...

Since he's ok we can be lighthearted about this but man Mr. Kim was ready to rumble with the guy...

I'm certain somewhere in the 210 markets there are stations more dominant in rating points or market share...

The press release writes itself....

You literally just made my day...

My usual comment about how cheap it is for them to say most watched in the nation still applies... it's a terrible misuse of ratings numbers...

Morning reporter / weekend morning anchor Nima Schaffe is out at WXYZ in Detroit. According to what he posted on Facebook he is the 18th employee there let go in 5 months with more to come. It's a major house cleaning after a decade plus of bad news directors making poor hires (though he was good). Their newscasts are better quality under their new ND even if they don't have full staffing behind the scenes...

Sunny and 55 is sort of self explanatory... I imagine the weather would be longer in a more inclement situation. Somebody figured out the traffic is the bigger deal I think. If they don't give the weather hit extra time on a nasty morning then that would be stupid...

7's push alerts aren't going so well... lots of typos and one beginning with NEW:... not exactly stellar stuff...

Nia Harden joins WXYZ in Detroit as a reporter. She comes from KWTX the Gray owned CBS station in Waco, Texas.

Maybe they will start using them correctly too...
