SF1964

The window behind the Good Day desk was smashed sometime recently. I noticed it during Sunday's program. [MEDIA=twitter]909399642667933696[/MEDIA]

I figured Chelsea might be gone anyway since Kate Bilo is back and Lauren's returning to weekends. I'm not sure what the new job posting is for.

New meteorologist Clayton Stiver tweeted some pictures of the old set being taken down. [MEDIA=twitter]900835801663188993[/MEDIA] Also, former WFMZ meteorologist Lauren Due tweeted a San Antonio Hurricane Harvey weather update and also mentioned she was going to check in on the WFMZ 5PM news today. Former WFMZ reporter Rosa Duarte, who now lives in Houston, also checked in. http://www.wfmz.com/news/lehigh-valley/wfmz-talks-with-former-reporters-in-hurricane-harveys-path/612457270

Nydia Han was on during the 4PM show promoting a "Troubleshooters" consumer special which will air at 8PM tonight. Granted, the networks are running mostly reruns, but I thought it was interesting that the show was airing during prime time.

Bo Koltnow mentioned this morning that meteorologist Lauren Due is leaving WFMZ next week and moving to Texas. Dan Skeldon will be taking over weather duties on weekend mornings. Maybe Jacqueline & Lauren couldn't deal with the set changes.

Jim Vaughn & Melanie Falcon posted this video regarding the set changes. [MEDIA=twitter]891025976636973056[/MEDIA]

I hope they let Jim Gardner reveal the new set.

Gotta love Gardner! [MEDIA=twitter]866839190272692224[/MEDIA]

Sports reporter Lesley Van Arsdall posted a Facebook video last night. It was mentioned that Lauren Casey would be handling the weekday evening weather duties while Kate Bilo is on maternity leave. Kate's due in the next 2 or so weeks. Lauren said that Chelsea Ingram (most recently from Baltimore) would be taking the weekend evening weather shift.

Quadcopter 69 is a drone. There's more info about it posted in this thread on page 8, beginning with post # 147, by Mrknowitall526.

Mike Jerrick returned from rehab today. He explained his ordeal, too. They also added a couch to the set, which I hope they keep. It makes the set seem more casual and comfortable.

Kate Bilo's going out on maternity leave soon, so Matt may be filling in.

Charlie Rose is going to be out until sometime in March after undergoing heart surgery. Best wishes to Charlie for a speedy recovery. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/a-note-from-charlie-rose-cbs-this-morning/

Chs 3, 6, and 10 are starting their morning news at 4AM Thursday to cover the snow. Ch 29 normally starts at 4, but tomorrow they're starting at 3:30AM to get the jump on all the important news at that hour. I wonder if that extra half hour will affect the February ratings book?

It's re-airing at 6:30PM on Sunday, Jan 8.

Sheena's last day is Friday. Set your DVRs.

I just saw a commercial for a WFMZ 40th anniversary special to air on Thanksgiving (11/24) at 6:30 PM.

I'm not sure if this was mentioned before, but ABC News/GMA was "caught" staging a crime scene earlier this week. http://www.miamiherald.com/latest-news/article112625983.html [MEDIA=twitter]794618980254306304[/MEDIA]

Morning anchor Chris Murphy is moving to San Diego. His last day on Fox 29 is Sept 30. Adweek had mentioned it last week and Chris confirmed on his Twitter account today.

Looks like she's been hired full time to do weekend weather. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/erika-martin-joins-philadelphia-station/178727

When they came back on, Rick Williams mentioned the cause was due to a computer malfunction. I wouldn't be surprised if their ratings were still higher than the other locals during the outage.

She's going to be a sports reporter in New England. http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/real-time/Kacie-McDonnell-joins-New-England-sports-channel.html

Tonight's Eagles/Bucs game is on Comcast Sportsnet cable and COZI-TV OTA sub-channel. I realize NBC10 has to show the Olympics, but I wonder what the Eagles fans that don't have cable and don't know where to find COZI-TV are doing tonight. It's only a pre-season game, but I'd think that some might be upset about not being able to watch it or find it easily.
