SF1964

She did the weather this morning and Violeta Yas from Telemundo 62 did the evening forecast.

Per Philly.com, Nicole Brewer is moving from mornings to 11PM weeknights to join Ukee and Jessica. http://mobile.philly.com/beta?wss=/philly/blogs/entertainment&id=365430851

Her Twitter bio says she's in NYC now.

Eva Pilgrim did her first ABC News report during GMA this morning. It was actually from Philadelphia, where she was reporting on the police officer that was shot. Dan Harris, the GMA weekend host, welcomed her and mentioned she came from the Philadelphia "powerhouse" station. Video link, if anyone's interested. http://abcnews.go.com/US/man-accused-shooting-philly-cop-confessed-committing-act/story?id=36169588

She reported on the street a few days a week and anchored the weekend morning shows. I think she did plenty and was very good.

I've noticed they've decided to zoom in on the evening anchors when they're doing a single shot, sort of an extreme close up. The anchor's faces seem to take up a majority of the screen now, more than the other local stations. Is this a new thing with the Fox local o & o's now?

Reporter Liz Kilmer announced that today (11/25) was her last day on WFMZ and she was moving to Virginia Beach.

Eva Pilgrim had retweeted a message from a 6ABC producer wishing him happy retirement and showing him walking through the newsroom saying goodbye. David mentioned it on his own twitter page earlier in the week.

Reporter David Henry retired today.

Sorry, I didn't look there before I posted here. By the way, Cecily Tynan tweeted that she will be on the GMA marathon today in the 3PM hour.

I didn't think there was any harm in posting an FYI about a show airing on 6 ABC/Live Well that is somewhat news related.

Not really specific to 6 ABC News, but Good Morning America is celebrating their 40th anniversary with a 40 hour marathon, now through Thursday morning. Former GMA personalities scheduled to appear include Charlie Gibson, David Hartman, Diane Sawyer, Joan Lunden, Sandy Hill and more. It's being shown on the Live Well Network.

Katie Fehlinger will be returning to the morning news on Nov 18.

Looks like FTVLive has stories from all the Philly stations today. http://www.ftvlive.com/

I know someone has to do the 4AM (yawn) news, but maybe he just wants to be able to get up at a normal hour, instead of 1-2AM. He also won't have to worry about shoveling snow.

Anyone notice they now have Kate Bilo sitting on the far left of the desk, near Ukee, and Don Bell sitting on the right, near Jessica? Isn't the weather center/green screen on the far right of the set?

Jim Donovan anchored the Sunday morning news solo today.

I watched the noon newscast today. Ukee was on, too, and introduced a video presentation of Pat's career on KYW. I don't think it's on this clip, but Pat spoke to the audience and thanked everyone and cried a bit. http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/show/latest-video/video-3307254-cbs-3-says-goodbye-to-pat-ciarrocchi/ Philly.com has Pat's comments up now. http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/entertainment/television/Pat-Ciarrocchis-tearful-goodbye-to-CBS-3-It-has-been-a-privilege.html

Charlotte Huffman leaves CBS 3. I think she was only here about a year. Edit: She was here two years. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/charlotte-huffman-leaves-kyw/156884

I don't think the main set where the anchors sit is that bad. I just don't like/understand the "stand-up" area where a separate anchor or sports anchor will stand. It has those blurred out TV screens in the background. What's that supposed to be?

Jim Gardner didn't do the 6PM news tonight, otherwise we would've had a Jim trifecta of anchors tonight--Rosenfield, Donovan and Gardner. Gardner is on now at 11, but Donovan is not. I thought Jim Donovan did a pretty good job, too. Besides Ukee, I think the only other male anchor I've seen on CBS 3 since Chris May left was Todd Quinones.

Lauren just tweeted that she'll be starting Saturday morning (Oct 3) on CBS 3.

Meghan Packer announced during the 4PM news today that Friday would be her last day at WFMZ.

Lauren Johnson will also sometimes do the 9AM hr with Mike and Alex, but I think she's currently on vacation. Jenn Frederick did the 9AM hour at the desk today. Sue also does later weather hits on the hour. I don't know if they're pre-taped, but I've seen her do updates as late as 3PM. That's a long day.

Not sure. She was on at 10 tonight, though.
