I am not a fan of Sade at 11. Too stiff.

 

I thought the same exact thing... I must add I did really enjoy Christina and Ben... Christina is always so great with everyone she is with, she needs a Mon-Fri spot she is just too good!

 

I also must add, I wonder what brought on these weird pairings.... Steve Lacy's first "subbing" at night came the week that Dave Price was duped, Greg returned to GDNY and Lacy moved to nights....

 

They always make me think when they try out these weird pairings, when there would be less weird ones (like keeping Ben/Juliet and using Christina and Kerry or Alison).... Makes me think what may happen.

 

Also, why is it that Antwan will never sub on Weekday nights?

 

Ben is not made for a morning show. Too stiff of a personality. Maybe as a regular news anchor who does not have to banter back and forth or be up on current trends he'd do better.

 

Thankfully they did not have that awful Morris anchoring.....

 

It appears as thought Ti Hua Chang is no longer with WNYW, his bio has been removed from the website.

 

His Twitter posts feeds from other networks.

The 10pm is a good show. While Dari still annoys sometimes, Steve and Dari have upped the chemistry.

Morris is unwatchable and brings the show down. I do not know if its the hair, the raspy loud voice or what. I had to turn it off again tonight. She makes Dari seem like Sue Simmons.

 

Why not use Linda Schmidt if Park is off?

Morris is utterly unwatchable and I too had to turn it off when she was filling in for Dari on the 10pm Friday night.

 

Steve Lacy and Allison Morris

 

Allison Morris is brutal. How she is chosen to sub on the 10pm is beyond me.......????

Noticed tonight that Chris Knowles was on as a reporter - did a story on the Garner case. Is this his new assignment or his he also Wx as I see Joe Cioffi in for Craig Allen tonight.

 

I hope that Fox 5 gets these fill in anchors right, with so much talent (Priolo, Park, even Drew and Crowley) Alison Morris should not be allowed to sit at the anchor desk. Last week with Ben Simmoneau, and last night with Steve Lacy, she is just unwatchable, more that any other anchor I have seen on WNYW. I'd rather Dari!

 

Agreed I don't know what they see in morris

 

While I prefer WABC if I'm up earlier I do agree.. I find my self watching them more often.. I wish Juliet would fill in for Rosanna.. I feel she and Greg would get along... Maybe she goes and does other stuff at FNC or something?

 

No, many times when Rosanna is out, Juliet does GDWU and then is sent to do field reporting with another sub stepping in for Rosanna. Whereas Ben will do GDWU and cover for Greg until 10. Seems like somebody does not want Juliet on the GDNY show. I think she'd be great. Her old show with Jerrick and on Fox News Channel was great - when she was able to interview and chat as opposed to read news.

Mike Woods out again today. I wonder how his contract reads; he takes many days off.

This clip is an example why I think Ben is not the right fit for a light morning show...

Speaking of Juliet; WNYW now has her bio up on their website:

Why is it that she is not a sub-anchor on GDNY?

 

I actually happen to like Ben, a lot, so maybe I am biased. I will however say, he is not someone who does well with a not so great co-anchor. He is fantastic IMO with Juliet and with Teresa Priolo, who are both fantastic.

 

I cannot watch the pairing of him and Kerry Drew... But Kerry is the real issue, dry as a bone with a forced fake personality there.

 

And, watching Friday was rough, I am not a huge fan of Alison Morris, something about her doesn't work with me

 

Yes, Morris was awful paired with Ben, and she is a Juliet look alike with the short hair but with no personality (as opposed to Juliet who you either love or hate - I think she's great). Very unimpressed by Morris on Friday.

 

Why don't they ever allow Juliet to appear on GDNY as fill in anchor? She will work the wake-up shift and then be sent to the street to report while somebody else (e.g. Drew, Priolo or this Morris) fills in.

 

As stated before, I do not see Ben as morning show material where you need to be a bit looser and able to banter back and forth. Greg does it in his own awkward way which makes the show what it is..... Again while Ben seems like a nice guy, he comes across as a boring wet noodle type.

 

Also, I brought it up in the past, but Mike Woods seems to take many many days off..

 

Obviously Steve was excellent in the GDWU role (which is why he was promoted to the top spot). Antwan should have been left on GDWU/GDNY where his outgoing personality would shine.

He seems like a nice guy, but Ben Simmoneau is a brutal watch. No personality, not suited for morning show small talk, particularly when he fills in on GDNY.

 

Even though they're on at 6 together everyday I wish Bill and Liz would also anchor at 11.. I like Sade a lot but Bill and Liz are an awesome team.

 

Agreed!!!!!
