I'd imagine there will be a shift in 11pm viewership with the demise of Colbert. I noticed that when they run a promo for an upcoming news story (like Better Get Baquero), they always say to watch on the specific day at 6am (the hour when the segment will air). Like they don't tell people that the show actually begins at 4:30.
-
Waiting for them to put Teresa Priolo back in Bianca's slots for just long enough so you think it's permanent before hiring a replacement.
-
That's interesting. I noticed she hasn't been on, and her IG profile seemed to disappear briefly earlier this week, but it's there now. It doesn't say Fox5, but I'm not sure if it said that before. Update: confirmed.
-
They've often had Jen Maxfield come in when Darlene is out, but not anymore. Sometimes Gus for Michael.
-
It seems like they're no longer having someone come in to co-anchor when Darlene or Michael is out from TINY. That's got to be fun, anchoring three hours solo (that assumes they're still doing the online-only half hour at 7; they never mention it when signing off, 2.5 hours otherwise).

Alecia is now on PIX11, saw her on the Morning News this morning. Her Linkedin has not been updated (nor has Zinnia's, not sure where she is, if anywhere).
-
Alecia Reid has surfaced on the PIX11 Morning News. She was part of the big layoff at CBS2. She's got a page on their website. They're actually running a commercial for her anchoring the weekend news now.

Liz Cho co-hosted Up Close with Bill Ritter on Sunday and at the end Bill said that she would be joining him going forward. So I guess that's the succession plan for that program. Kind of surprised it didn't go to Mike Marza, since he's subbed for Bill in the past.

Michelle, not Jennifer. And I don't think that she HAD TO; she chose to. Part of it was that her mother, who was watching her infant twins, was having issues. And yes, she wanted to do independent journalism and monetize her posts about her kids.
-
They seem to have cancelled the 5pm news on Saturday even when they don't have a sporting event dring that time. I don't understand how you get rid of someone after 25 years and not let them say goodbye on the air, unless he did something inappropriate, which seems unlikey
-
That would be a really major downgrade for him, from evening network news co-anchor to morning show co-host (and junior co-host at that, since Rosanna is always going to be top dog). I can't see him doing it.

Yesterday was Curt Menafee's last day at GDNY. Apparently, his wife was still living elsewhere and he was commuting weekly. https://www.fox5ny.com/news/curt-menefee-saying-goodbye-good-day-new-york

Well, that wasn't a good career move.
-
Wow, if PIX11 was going to replace a sports anchor, I would have thought it would be with Andy Adler, who left her job in Texas last year and is apparently back living in New York.
-
Honestly don't understand why they don't promote from within for stuff like this. Gotta be pretty disheartening for the reporters. I guess going to the network is what they aspire to.
