Hurricane Dorian & Football morning must’ve put them over the edge.
Football is a wonderful sport. Year after year, it forces retransmission squabbles to settle.

Way too much Access Hollywood. It’s turning into the daytime version of Dateline when it used to be on multiple nights!
I can’t help but wonder if All Access was quickly developed when the NBC O&Os realized they had no replacement for Extra.

Extra is NOT being replaced by news. Access Hollywood is moving to 7 and will be live. At 7:30 will be All Access. Access Live is changing its title to Access Daily. Click the article for full details.

NY1 has been on Optimum for years now. They only recently picked up the HD feed and moved NY1 to channel 8 to make way for the Optimum Channel
Not everywhere. It was only added in NJ a year ago (not impressed). It moved to Ch 64 a few months ago. NJTV is on Ch 8.

It makes a lot of sense. Comcast makes NECN available to competing cable operators in New England, so this isn't unprecedented.
News12 has been available to Charter and Comcast for many years. NY1 has been on Optimum for over a year now. The only competition the Dolans did not allow to carry News12 was Verizon (and of course satellite providers). Altice clearly has a different objective if our speculation is correct. Makes sense.

I can't imagine News 12 being available on Fios based on Cablevision's longtime strategy.
But Cablevision doesn't exist anymore. It seems Altice views News 12 as an opportunity to make a profit and not just serve as a loss-leader. So maybe there is potential for something!
The Dolans no longer own or are involved with News12. It is a different day. As I mentioned, I suspect this is tied into getting distribution of i24News which Altice also owns and Cheddar Business which they just bought. In fact the founder/head of Cheddar is now the CEO of the News networks division so gaining more distribution is probably a priority. It all is beginning to make sense.

I have a really funny feeling News12 will be available on Verizon
Thinking the same thing. I can't see someone starting up, staffing up something new in this day and age when there already is one available. It would represent a long standing change in policy that the Dolans had against Verizon. I suspect it also will include Verizon adding i24News and perhaps Cheddar Business.

WRC does a good job with that.. News 4-7 than nightly news. Hopefully WNBC goes back to that format.
I haven't heard too about Access being renewed or cancelled.
The only change to Access is that it has added Mario Lopez as Natalie Morales' replacement on both the Live version at 1 and the evening show, as had been rumored long before her status changed. Access is produced by NBC stations so it is not going anywhere. Extra then filled the open spot with Billy Bush as well as the move to Fox Stations Group.

I say at 7pm weeknights, it will be News 4 New York @ 7PM with Natalie Pasquarella & Stefan Holt, Janice Huff with weather, and Bruce Beck with sports.
Which could be a good idea, since Extra Extra will be shown on WNYW Fox 5..
Will it work for News 4 New York @ 7PM?
In the 80s News4 at 6 was an hour followed by Nightly. Then several years ago they tried NY Nightly News at 7, first with Chuck, which then moved to Cozi with rotating anchors and killed off in 2014. So who knows. With long commute times in the area, a 7 pm local newscast makes sense, but just never seems to stick.

I can't remember the exact time, but it was sometime between 8-9am this morning.
If true that leaves two big holes to fill - 2 pm and 7 pm. Previously they said it was replacing Steve Harvey. If the rumors of a 7 pm newscast are true would they do local at 7 or be like WRC and do a full hour of local at 6 and Nightly at 7. They were doing this in the 80s.

Anyone know what the deal is with Drew Wilder? I’m visiting DC and he is a reporter on WRC as their Northern VA reporter. Is he doing double duty in DC and N.Y.?

Not surprising considering Altice’s major goal is likely to combine all the regions into one News12 network that serves all of the tri-state.
Not sure I agree. News12 NJ still seems to be very NJ centric, granted they are live maybe 4 hours a day and just repeat in between. Major national stories should be covered, nothing wrong with that, and the issue of mass shootings and domestic terrorism fits that bill. Considering the lack of NJ focused stories on the network stations, the elimination of news on Ch. 9 in violation of the licensing agreement years ago and soon the virtual disappearance of the Gannett papers being bought by GateHouse, there is definitely a need for News 12 NJ.

Okay. He is a meteorologist. First post did not identify that. I assume he will replace Erica on weekend evenings and nights. Clearly this was in motion before she was let go and explains why Maria LaRosa got the TINY job.

I think that was the one call that was expected with these TINY changes that 1 weathercaster would drop.
How? They are now down 1 meteorologist. With Rafael Miranda doing TINY Weekends, and Janice and Dave Price doing weeknights, there is no one who is permanent on weekend nights. That makes no sense. Clearly they have an opening. The only move they could make is to move Dave Price to weekends. He would see that as a demotion, as would viewers so that is very doubtful.
-
Raphael Miranda is doing the weather tonight on News4NY. That means he is doing triple duty.

Bio off the site, i think we know what that means
Her facebook page still has a copy of the forecast from WNBC from this morning. I guess we may know more come the weekend if she is not on and they don't say someone is sitting in for her.

TINY 7/29/19: Darlene > Michael > Lauren > Maria
Very pleased to say that Maria did great on her first day. She had her little moments (first day glitters). However, in all retrospect I feel TINY will be in good hands.
However, we all here may have our opinions about either Rafael, Erica or Dave to be apart of TINY.
From what I saw this morning, it will take a little time for her to develop the relationship with Darlene & Michael that the other meteorologists have. You can tell she very much is trying. I'm sure NBC had its reasons for her taking that slot.

A brand new program is coming to WJAR's airwaves starting September 3rd that'll replace that boring informerical slot at 12:30 p.m.

Oh another one of those lifestyle programs with paid product placements and stories... Doesn't RI already have one on WPRI 12 called the Rhode Show? Can the market sustain both?

I don't agree with getting rid of the morning program at WCBS-TV. However, the talent has to seriously change.
Honestly, I can't remember when the last time WCBS-TV had good talent for their Weekday morning program.
But in regards to traffic: WCBS Newsradio 880 is #1 when it comes to traffic breaking news and if that was incorporated into the TV program in the morning I personally think we wouldn't be talking about an traffic anchor and use an anchor from 880. Morning drive anchors are pretty hard to find. However, when you find one and they are good. You keep them and invest with them.
It's proven success at the other stations. Why can't WCBS-TV get with the program with that. #IMO.. #carryon.
Remember that WCBS 880 is no longer part of the same company as WCBS TV. CBS sold the radio division to Entercom about 2 years ago. Sharing on air personalities is not longer a given and would require contracts. Entercom is licensing the call letters and contracted with CBS News to provide news updates (with a name change to differentiate). It used to be that most TV and radio stations used one or two traffic suppliers like the former Shadow Traffic and then Total Traffic. The supplier used to provide the talent so there were backups. Clearly with CBS, that model has changed and its no longer a priority.

New Meteorologist search is over: Maria LaRosa is now the new TINY meteorologist. Starting 7/29. Hopefully, promos soon at your local New York City subway stop.
Source?
considering she has rarely been on air, not connected to the anchor team and the viewers this is surprising. If it was for Sat or Sunday that would make more sense. Either Raphael Miranda or Erica Grow should have been selected. I wouldn’t blame them if they bolt.

Thank you for clarifying.. I was actually not aware of that
It was two years ago already. That is why WCBS 880 and 1010 WINS say a radio.com station.

In the past, WNBC has also used the CNBC studio in Englewood Cliffs when there were issues in midtown impacting 30 Rock. It was a weekend, so that was not an option. It may result in WNBC wishing to upgrade a backup studio at WNJU (which ironically are in the old CNBC/America's Talking/MSNBC studios in Fort Lee). Having that facility in NJ would give them an advantage over the other stations. In reality, all the networks/stations impacted will probably be reassessing their contingency plans going forward. Would CNBC have to keep an area on weekends active in case MSNBC or WNBC has to relocate? What would CBS and ABC do? And Fox has abandoned the Secaucus studio which is nt longer an option. I noticed that WCBS was using a studio with really bad acoustics. You could hear the anchor's sighs and it was echoing. All had lighting issues. However, in the end, they all got the news and information out.

TINY for 7/8.
Jen > Michael > Lauren > Dave.
My money is still on Rafael to get the TINY spot. However, Dave has the morning show experience. But, seniority rules.
I agree. Right now schedules are a mix due to vacation time. Erica was on the 4, 5 and 6 tonight. (and probably the 11). I bet it will take a couple of months to sort out, and the new person that is rarely on camera gets the weekend morning spot (Maria something or other).

As I expected including the addition of Cheddar and i24 News. Altice is about distribution for their news networks. This is not the old Dolan controlled Cablevision anymore. The “only on cable” & “only on Optimum” branding will go away.
