Out and About is the perfect thread to put it in. We don't need threads for every anchor retirement. And we don't need to type like this either.

PSA: Mark Rivera makes his anchoring debut tomorrow morning.

WMAQ has a name for their new New Year's special: New Year's Eve Live In Chicago. http://www.robertfeder.com/2017/12/15/robservations-abc-7-nbc-5-square-off-new-years-eve/

Just thought you should know that Kristi Ikemire is WGN's motion designer. She does a good job at it, too. http://www.kristiikemire.com/

It's Taft, isn't it? Sigh.

Pac-Three

Nice shade from Jessica D'Onofrio: "It will be interesting if the President will be tweeting about the outcome of the race this morning." Last night, he tweeted this: [MEDIA=twitter]940795587733151744[/MEDIA]

I always watched the News at Nine on Sundays on WGNA while I was away from Chicago, especially the Sunday 9pm newscasts. Instant Replay is basically unwatchable online now because it's blacked out for most of the show. Part of me wonders when Dan Roan will hang it up.

I just heard on the morning news that Jim Ramsey is retiring after 30 years. [MEDIA=twitter]940564141055643648[/MEDIA]

I bet when KDFW get this music, they'll dump that 7-day forecast chime from Outlaw News.

Here's a little more inside baseball via my "connection" to the station aka my cousin's wife who works there. Siafa Lewis is being dispatched to Minnesota to report from Super Bowl LII. Katie Kim is going to Pyeongchang to cover the Winter Olympics, but she has to leave weeks in advance before the games start. NBCU pays for both reporters' accomodations (airfare, hotel, etc).

Oops.

Tanja Babich anchoring the Saturday morning news with Diane Pathieu today.

Chance The Rapper did the weather this morning. It went as well as you expected to go. [MEDIA=twitter]939158205992710144[/MEDIA]

Guess I know the answer to this now. Just heard he's in the hospital suffering a stroke.

Her best performance since Body of Art at WOIO. We black people don't fool around. [MEDIA=twitter]938248216570626048[/MEDIA]

#MeToo has now come for local news. I bet athletes are next.

It looks and feels like a less flashier Fox Report.

Appears the poinsettias made their way to the new set.

How about bringing back Bryant Gumbel?
