NowBergen

Did they ever? Not the channel I would go to to watch. It was on 2, 4, 5, 7 and 11. NFL pregames moved to 9 for Fox and 10/55 for CBS.

Reading the previous few posts there is a common theme. Despite its name, NewsNation is not a full fledged news network. It is part time to begin with, is inflexible with the 24 hour ever changing news cycle. It has many limitations on covering major stories and events. It seems more a read a wire service, splice in some video, make it about the personality service. For those of us of a certain age who remember the beginnings of CNN (and even the short lived Satellite News Channel from Group W) they may have been run on the cheap but committed full time to the news and had agreements in place all over the globe for breaking news. The UK and US are intertwined in their special relationship. Could NewsNation have had a deal in place with the folks who do ITC, Channel 4 or Channel 5 News (assuming BBC has deals in place and has coverage of BBC World on many cable lineups and Sky is owned by NBC Universal)? In some ways you can look at this as a test of NewsNation's ability to cover a major international story and they failed, miserably. The good news is very few people probably tuned in to watch Dan Abrams kvetch (His ratings are minuscule to begin with and the opening NFL game was on last night) and Cuomo and whoever else Nexstar decides to bring in won't increase viewership much. At the end of the day, NewsNation is not the go to channel for breaking news stories of any significance. I'm not sure it ever would be.

Although I'm sure there is heritage about that channel logo, it is way too busy IMO for today, and looks incompatible with the abc circle.

I was flipping around news channels earlier and noticed Carolyn Manno reporting for CNN from the US Open. Does she work for both CNN and WNBC?

This worked so well last time. Worse, many 10 pm shows are top rated shows. Chicago Wednesdays and Law & Order Thursdays would become half days? Bad idea.

Who is she? Will she be on weekdays at 5 or weekends?

DOOL airs at noon in several O&O markets. No word on what is going to happen.

Exactly the same at WNBC/New York except New York Live is 11:30 to 12. Question is for the NBC O&Os that currently broadcast DOOL at noon, will NBC News Daily be at noon, or would Access Daily switch to noon? If no switch will the new newscast be live everywhere? No promotions yet on NBC New York on what will happen.

Back to a small studio for WNBC. What a shame.

Someone mentioned a couple of months ago in the WNBC thread that new studios for both stations would be built on the 2nd Floor at 30 Rock. Dividing 3B in half would probably result in two small studios. Currently 3C is listed at just over 4000 sq ft. 3K where News4NY broadcasts from is 2668 sq ft, so it would be smaller if that is the case. I would hope the days of a cramped studio for WNBC are long gone thinking back to 7K conference room disaster as well as when they were in 3C (1310 sq ft). I still miss the days of 6A. Lots of room, multiple sets.... But until they make some announcements, who knows.

Or for those of us that have DOOL at noon like in NYC, it sends a message to Andrea Mitchell.

I guess this might bump NewsNation's average viewership from 50K to maybe 60K? Is Charlie Rose and Matt Lauer far behind in joining NewsNation too? NewsNation should give ParamountGlobal and WBD pause in selling the WB to Nexstar.

Hopefully this will result in N12 New Jersey becoming Jersey centric again with LI stories, paid for stories and other fluff kept to a minimum. In its current state, it is no longer a go to for NJ news.

I think Fox made that decision years ago. I would not hold my breath. They seem to be weathering the NJ Congressional criticism since they removed any news product on the station which violated the original Ch. 9 license conditions once RKO General had to give it up.

I'd also like to see the viewership of Ch. 9 - aka the family feud station. I would suspect the news gives WLNY a slight edge on less least watched station.

I would think with a new ABC Broadcast Center being built, they would not invest in a new studio until the move in a year or two.

The deal that was made many years ago was that WWOR ch 9 would move to NJ, and be NJ centric with news. That lasted a few years when they started to be more a tri-state newscast then dropped NJ coverage after being bought by Fox. Eventually Fox closed their news department. Several politicians want to challenge the license in saying Fox is in violation with the old agreement. Thing is, Fox has closed and destroyed the former studios. The channel today is of little value with judge shows, many hours of Family Feud and the My Network repeats. NJPBS has an evening show, but its produced by Thirteen, and is only a half hour, so it scapes the surface of a few news stories. When News 12 NJ started, it was co-produced with the state's largest newspaper. That deal ended, and since then Optimum has diluted the effort, getting a lot worse the last few months. It is a shame since there is a need despite the coverage of big stories by the NY flagships or Philly stations.

As a NJ resident, without real local news - not filler crap that belongs on news 12 plus, the station is useless. It seemed to stay more local than it’s siblings but that trend has changed the last few months.

She is promoting her new book, which focuses much on her father (mother) and mother. There was an article in yesterday NYTimes as well and she plugged the book at the end of her MSNBC show.

Tony Awards. Hoping for more “eyes.”

The thought crossed my mind early this morning when I saw it. Anyone remember the circumstances under which she left?

Luckily as I scrolled down I saw from the map this is WLS in Chicago. Are only the weather graphics changed? Not knowing their current look, it is evolutionary or a major relaunch? I just switched to WABC and looks the same so far.

Agreed. As well as interactions outside the studios, including their families and who they interact with. Unless there is a known infection cluster inside their building, it may be an overreaction. Interestingly, WNBC is not doing what CBS, ABC and PIX are doing. The reality with these new more contagious variants, is they will result in sporadic infections. It does not mean everyone at their facility gets it.

It was posted on this board on Feb. 17 that she joined WNBC. Here is the copy of the stations PR release from then that was part of the post. She is not a 100% on air meteorologist (like Steve Sosner in the past). https://www.nbcnewyork.com/weather/weather-stories/violeta-yas-joins-storm-team-4/3559262/

She has been on the air for a couple of weeks now. Not sure why but she didn't post her job change to Instagram until a couple of days ago, which got picked up by the media press. A bit late, as it is stale news to anyone that actually watches.
