I don't know if she'll need that much equipment training. If I remember right, her former colleagues in Raleigh are the ones who designed much of the NY package.
-
Not surprised. They've been using the Raleigh affiliate's weathercasters for a bit when they have none of their 4 to fill in. (Yes, they had Spencer Christian and one of the WPVI weathercasters). Hopefully she's joining as a 5th and we're not losing one of the 4.

My only preference would be to please let live shots with no one in it please take off the masks. Every time I'm hearing a masked live shot it sounds bad going into the mic.

Shirleen is pregnant with her and her husband Jesse's 3rd child.
-
Mike Marza's assignment to work weekend mornings with Michelle Charlesworth is official.
-
Him, Doug Johnson, John Johnson & Geraldo Rivera based on the Newsday article.
-
Phil Lipof is joining WNBC.

All across news, broadcasters tend to take their vacations in summer (really in August in many cases), even if it's just a week at a time.
-
I guess no one should be surprised, but Tim Fleischer is finally retiring after 35 years at Eyewitness News. He is being celebrated at 5 pm tomorrow. I have attached the news article from Pittsburgh when he was hired away. Going to miss Tim. This basically has been his reporting staff for a long time.

Rob went home today after recovering.
-
I've been so busy I didn't see it. I hope he gets well quick. That's awful. Robb is probably one of the few anchors I wish had never left WABC in the first place. He always is cheerful on Twitter working for WHP. I hope he recovers.

It was a mistake and Bill owned it. With all the talk of people dying from COVID 19, it's an understandable slipup. People aren't perfect.
-
Can add Derick Waller to the list of showing symptoms. He'll be reporting from home on Wednesday.
-
Regardless, the discussion of COVID 19 and legal rights is not really what should be talking about, Hopefully Bill feels better and we'll see him back at the desk soon.

Can't force someone to take a test without a court order, would be a violation of rights.
-
I had suspicions of that. Mike & Joe had worked 5 and 11 for Bill with Sade the last 3 days.
-
Listen, if they want to drive to Buffalo to shoot their news, damn it, I will bow in their presence. I have no problem with it being produced anywhere at any time, though I for one liked the sidewalk option.
-
Liz is back working again. Glad she feels better
-
If the WABC fire had damaged more than they expected, Kenny Plotnik said that morning broadcast would've been done on the sidewalk. Kudos to WCBS for doing it.

Flu.

CBSN was showing CBSN Boston. Now it's showing WBZ 4 News at 5.
-
Stokes' definitely was, but that was more on the Camille Edwards department, same with Sarah Wallace. Camille Edwards was a mistake we never needed to repeat. Chad Matthews has been an improvement.
-
The last clear non-amicable departure was Bill Evans. You can see how badly that went given he went missing for a bit and never returned to get a true goodbye despite 30 years of employment. This is clearly the opposite. Rob Nelson's a good reporter and good anchor. The fact they're giving him 22 days to enjoy his last days, then the departure is amicable. He's not being forced out.
-
They aren't breaking up Joe & Sandra. Works perfectly for me.

Hell WABC has 3 reporters with 30+ years at the station (Burkett, Dolan, Fleischer), 12 at 20+ (Ritter, Del Giorno, Goldberg, Evans, Bookman, Charlesworth, Torres, Solis, Sager, Yang, Glassberg and Pineda), 13 at 10+ (Einiger, Kenyon, Cho, Baderinwa, Johnson, Novarro (two pieces separated by a stint in CHI, Champion (two stints separated by GMA & TWC), Rosato, Sohn, Yates, Richardson, Smith, Miles). The rest are at 9 or less. WABC doesn't have this attitude or turnover.
