Watching the 7:00 right now and Cheryl Scott seems kinda pissed tonight

Watching the 7:00 right now and Cheryl Scott seems kinda pissed tonight

Why can't GN do weather like that all the time?

Mikes personal weather page is now gone.

Nobody has posted on the weather page the Caplan started. Anyone think they'll deactivate the page? They've deleted all the cover photos that he's in as well.

Most likely who ever is on the 5/6 o'clock news. Either Kathy or Cheryl.

My opinion: We all saw this day coming, even though they said it wouldn't. Mike caplan is one of the best, not only at WLS, but in Chicago (next to skilling, of course) I'm guessing he's around 50-55 years old so he doesn't have a lot of his career left. His prime is over. It would be nice to see him on WGN Midday News and giving Tom the Evening at 9pm news. I wish nothing but the best for Mike, and nothing but the worst for WLS because they had it coming when they first got rid of Sylvia Perez.

I thought the goal was to have Demetrius eventually take over for Skilling, especially considering that as long as Tom's health holds up, he'll probably keep doing his job until he no longer can. By that point, Demetrius should be seasoned enough to take over, especially if Tom keeps working for another 5-10 years.

 

If WFLD was my only option, I'd be on the next flight out of town.

Skilling will die in his weather center.

You've gotta be kidding me. Or as hawk harrelson would say- YOUVE GOTTA BE BLEEPING ME!!!

I'm eager to see how tom uses these new graphics. Anyone think he will keep them organized or cluttered?

Erin in for Sarah tonight

Forget my comment. They had the new set with the old graphics. I just know that they were close to each other.

I always thought it launched in '04, so I wouldn't know what month in '05.

I think the graphics launched in 2004.

New 7 Day graphic tonight

By Linda's FB post, it looks like it's going to have an 11am news format. They're going to be in the kitchen tonight.

Pat Tomasulo?

Hopefully this article is incorrect as I thought Hosea was just transferring to evenings and not actually leaving the station:

It says he is leaving his current position. His new position is the evening shift. Also, just out of the blue, who will be his sub? Ron or Alan?

Is it wrong that I like how that fixture looks out than when it's on?

No because I like it better too.

The light behind Mark is out.

WGN changed the "Tribune Broadcasting" graphic to a much simpler image. No animation like the previous one.

Interesting thing about the ABC 7 Weather Dept. Promo: Cheryl Scott is included in the weather team while Troy is not. This tells me that although her current title is "Fill-in," She's not so fill-in (freelance) after all. She is really trying though. She has been delivering a pretty solid forecast and you can tell she's really trying to interact with her new anchor team.

Troy won't be included because he is not an employee of ABC, he is per diem. If you recall, Mark Bishop was never included with the promos either.

Whatever way it goes, Mike deserves to be called chief meteorologist. Not cheryl.

I am picking up some first time jitters from her, as she was usually more confident on NBC, so maybe that contributed to any grammar blips. Nonetheless, you make a valid point.

Phil Schwarz still stutters and he's been there for 20+ years.

Jerry taft looks good tonight.

Did anyone happen to catch ABC 7 EWN at 4/5, or 6 to see if C. Scott made her debut? Just curious that's all.

There was no 4, 5, or 6pm newscast. The 10pm newscast just started and it's just Ron, Jerry on weather, and TBA on sports. On a personal note, merry christmas to everyone!
