    Surprised they didn’t opt to do a newscast at 9 instead of a pregame. 

     

    They need to do the pregame show somewhere. If not on WPIX, they'd had to put it on the schedule at SNY, which wouldn't make a lot of sense when WPIX has the game.

    Andrea Grymes made it very clear at the end of this morning’s newscast that this move is not her choice and that she is disappointed. As RealNews18 notes, and confirmed by this Instagram post, she hasn’t made a decision regarding staying at WCBS as a reporter. 

     

    Has anyone seen Andrea since she left the anchor chair? She hasn't been on social media since she left, but she's still listed on the CBS website. I don't watch WCBS enough to say definitively that she hasn't been on any newscast as a reporter.

  3. Liv Johnson has joined as meteorologist/reporter combo, replacing Regan. She's doing weather tonight, I think she also did it last weekend one day but Audrey posted a picture of her in the studio so maybe she was there to help if needed.

    Longtime reporter Sandy Kenyon leaving WABC to become a consultant for the ABC owned stations group:

     

     

    I was coming here to post that Joelle Garguilo was leaving WNBC/Today with Hoda and Jenna/E! News and I wondered if she was going to be replacing Sandy, since I couldn't see her leaving those jobbs for anything else.

     

    Then I found this article, dated today.

     

    Joelle Garguilo Joins WABC-TV Channel 7 Eyewitness News New York as an Entertainment Reporter - (laughingplace.com)

     

    BTW, here's an interesting article about her from the SUNY Albany magazine (she's a graduate).

     

    UAlbany Magazine - University at Albany - SUNY

  5. Bill Ritter doing the Sunday 11pm news tonight. He wasn't on at 6. Can't be because of high viewership, since ABC didn't have the Super Bowl. I'm assuming that WCBS will have their regular weekday crew when their news finally comes on (update - they are).

    Did anyone notice this morning that TINY ended early at 10:11am and The Debrief with David Ushery came on from 10:13-10:30am? (It didn't say this on the channel guide.) 

     

    It seems the Debrief was prerecorded and was more Politics focused. Similar to Pix on Politics and Up Close with Bill Ritter.

     

    Seems this will be weekly for now. 

     

    I always used to enjoy The Debrief where he'd go around the newsroom talking to different reporters about their stories. Is this the same format? I guess I'll record tomorrow morning's 10am TINY and see.

  7. Did anyone watch the streaming to see if they ran it? I didn't see any mention of it when they signed off just before 7am. They did start at 4:30, but made no mention of the later start time. And amusingly, WABC started their news at 4am on Tuesday because of the weather.

    I think its in line with the launch of the 7am edition of TINY on streaming that I saw in a report on TVNewsCheck. 

     

    Today in New York at 7 a.m. — Watch Live Coverage From NBC 4 New York on the NBC New York app and streaming channel – NBC New York

     

    I do not intend to be watching live :).

     

    And their own schedule also shows the broadcast show starting at 4:30 starting tomorrow.

     

    WATCH LIVE: News 4 New York - NBC New York

     

    And the ad in the 11pm news says 4:30-7. Have yet to see anything advertising the streaming portion.

  9. Rana said they were starting at 4am Monday on the Sunday 11pm news, so either an old script, or the program guide is wrong. I can't see them making the change mid-week. Will have to check the DVR, since I certainly will not be up at 4am to check live!

  10. Unless the program guide on FiOS is wrong, they're dropping the 4-4:30am segment of Today in New York and will start at 4:30 like everyone else (except WPIX). It shows up for Monday (probably an error), but is showing Early Today after that.

    They seem to be short a couple of meteorologists. Stacey-Ann Gooden's sister passed away so she's been out, and Star Harvey seems to be MIA (posting occasionally on IG, night be out in LA). Byron Miranda is working weekends, and Chris Cimino has had to go back to the early morning.

     

    Update - Stacey-Ann was back on Monday and Star says on IG that she'll be back this weekend.

  12. I wonder if he will co-host all three hours instead of the two that Bianca was doing? Always seemed odd that she did not do the third hour, but maybe it said something about how Rosanna or the brass felt about her (but if so, why would they have promoted her to that spot)?

    Interestingly, John Elliott and Tony Sadiku swapped roles this morning. Since joining a few weeks ago (not including holiday fill-in duties), Tony has been in the field while John handled the regular studio work.

     

    I guess it allowed John to work closer to home for the day.

    Interesting. I wonder if Chris Welch will be joining Bianca on the 6:00 as well

    Will they expand The Noon and 6pm to a full hour? 

    It makes me sad that they never think about promoting Teresa Priolo.

     

    Exactly what I was coming to say. Teresa has been screwed over more than once there. And I don't see Bianca as an evening anchor type. Very odd. 

     

    That said. I learned about this change from Teresa's IG story feed.

    I get what everyone is saying… but it was Christmas Morning… not many wake up and say let me turn on the news… if anything it would be background noise while you’re opening gifts… I don’t see this as a huge deal especially if it means the staff gets time off with their family. Also GDNY ran a taped special at 9, not a live newscast as expected 

     

    WNBC didn't even have anyone for the Today local news breaks at ~25 and ~55.

     

    GDNY actually had their regular traffic reporter Ines Rosales in, which seemed really strange. Seems like they could do without a traffic report at 5am on Christmas Day when few people are watching. Maybe she gets paid extra for working holidays? Mike Woods (weather) was also in, but you need someone to do that.

    Medgie seems like a "last resort" type. Right place at the right time and not much more. Her presence is unremarkable, but good for her to find work. 

     

    Well, her versatility of being able to report as well as do weather makes her more valuable, I suppose. She posted a screenshot of her reporting a story this week.

    Doubtful 6 is the goal.  She's freelancing, so either she's just helping with holiday vacation fill-ins as Andy Field and Sonia Rincon used to do, or someone else is leaving.

     

    Is she, though? Raegan posted that her "#CommercialBreak OFFICIALLY OVER" (that's what she had been calling her time away from TV). If it was just a temporary gig, I don't think she would have worded it that way.

    I think it might be more than holiday fill-ins. On her LinkedIn page it says "Meteorologist/Reporter abc7NY Dec 2023 - Present 1 month."

     

    When Dani came on at 7am, she joked that Medgie was a Christmas miracle that would allow her and Jeff to have time off during the holidays.

     

    I also noticed Brittany Bell was subbing on GMA this morning.

     

    I hadn't noticed this reply before mine, but I absolutely agree.

  19. Did CBS have some sort of buyout or retirement incentive? Lisa Rozner just posted that nine people from CBS2 were retiring.  Four photojournalists, director, editor and three from engineering.

    raegen medgie last day at fox 5 is next friday. she posted it to her instagram. they offered her a renewal of her contract but she decided its time to move on she was starting to grow on me i liked her energy 

     

    https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxyhiXWuu45/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

     

    Her LinkedIn shows that she is "open to work" and doesn't have any current plans.

     

    I'm not sure where I'll be on the "other side of this commercial break"...but for the time being, I'll still be available on social media, consistently checking-in with all of my INCREDIBLE fan-friends!
