Which is funny given I think Clark-Tyler was probably the best combo in that group. When it was Hsu-Grove | Hill-Rosenfield | Clark-Tyler it was fantastic. Ira Joe, Mark and Warner fit. (Of course Mark Danon did himself in)
-
Stephen Clark told me that he was through 4 directors in 4 years. He wasn't much happy there either.

Sade also sounded ill a couple nights ago. Also, we seem to have acquired Phil Taitt from News 12 for morning reports. Considering they've been short a morning person since Derrick Waller understandably walked away, I'm guessing he's the replacement.
-
Look, I thought the complaining about the old package was a bit much over a lot of nothing. I don't think it was ever as terrible as claimed. This is a very slick package. We'll probably see it replaced in 6-7 years as is general timeline. (Even this package lasted longer than most of them have.)

Working at WABC as an intern helps. Congrats to Sandra. We've certainly had old late 90s weekends with Bill and Sandra working so much on weekdays.

Elise Finch - July 16 Dr. Max Gomez - September 2 Arnold Diaz - October 24 Pablo Guzman - November 27 WCBS just getting hammered.

I would've done this as a separate thread myself. Probably one of the most intimidating reports in the city and always got results. Didn't realize he was batting MM.

I'm currently good with the same theme. The CHL one is really out of date and doesn't really fit a modern broadcast in my opinion. Considering less WABC broadcasts have them, at some point I wonder if they just throw up their hands and eliminate the talent opens for good.

This was missed over all the lineup discussion, but that's the first sighting of Rose Ann in years. She wasn't on the 50th anniversary of EWN stuff in 2018.

Problem with David is the same as it would be for Jim. David is 63. He's at the point he can retire whenever he wants too. Mike is still young enough to have the long-term ability.
-
Rosenfield joining WABC, if it occurs, would also make him a rare three-peat, working for all 3 major stations of NYC (WABC, WNBC and WCBS). Ira Joe Fisher has done it. John Johnson has done it. I feel like there's probably someone I'm forgetting.
-
Jim Rosenfield wanted to be closer to home and honestly, it's a fantastic pickup if it occurs. Rosenfield is 64, I don't think he's Bill's successor long term.

Knee replacement surgery.

I will say that wasn't the case until really late. Even by 1995 they still were just "Finally tonight" on a shot of Bill Beutel.
-
Bill Beutel finished every 6pm and numerous broadcasts with his own comments. He certainly earned his right to do so. Bill has his biases. That happens. If the ratings aren't showing problems with it, then why would staff do anything about it?
