Wow that's dumb considering how much they reduced themselves to fluff i can see why

They changed the format, feeling like that there is no need for a sports anchor because of stuff like ESPN, etc as well as all the online media.

Disney locked out all NABET/CWA union workers in the winter of 1998. All ABC O&O's

It was a giant friggin, messy long labor dispute.

I distinctively remember this when it happened originally.

The fact that the Post found him makes me baffled to why the NYPD hasn't grabbed him already.

I was watching the news when that broke, it was cut and miss before Bill Ritter mentioning he's ok. That said, as I noted to Lucy Yang on Twitter earlier, we were gifted that he was dumb enough to pull his mask.

For a while, they've had to deal with wiring issues related to that manhole fire on the Upper East Side.

At the same time, their online feed, which I rely on while I'm out of state, has been a bit up and down the last weekend.

Specifically at Jeff Rossen's new place. He'll be back tomorrow.

So, we were asking if anyone left WABC, with the Candice McCowan sighting. I mentioned a few weeks ago that Mallory Hoff is no longer with the station, but I noticed today, Carolina Leid's bio is gone from the website. Her contract must have expired at the end of the year, because the Twitter account has none post 2016.

Looks like since Mallory Hoff is no longer with WABC, which is unfortunate. I really liked her.

Also, Ryan Field's bio is finally up on the website.

At least he's staying around the market.

Monica is the one who came to mind if they wanted a new weekend person. Of course, she's dropped off the face of the Earth since 2003 too.

Laura Behnke says 6 PM was his last broadcast. I missed it and wish I knew it was going to be 6, not 11 that his farewell was.

Yeah he was a good Successor to Scott Clark who I also believe left Ohio for New York so I guess Rob wasn't following suit haha. Good for him though! Wish him the best. Yep they gotta do all those intros again lol. Maybe when they redo the intros with the new talent it they'll add a New York themed Backdrop to it so it doesn't look as unfinished lol. But best of luck to Rob what a good person he is.

He did, from WKYC, where Lisa Colagrossi also worked. Tappy Phillips left the station Powers is going to, WEWS. WEWS also had John Hambrick back in the day.

Their 3rd string has been Anthony Johnson. I mean, explore all options, but I think AJ would be a great candidate for the job. Especially if it means one of the new people (CeFaan or Mallory) get a chance to maybe see the jobs in the future.
