Yes, and it probably explains why she didn't get the full 7-10 slot.

Interesting that they're not having Bianca do the 9-10am hour. They should have contacted Christina Park and begged her to come back, although I'm sure that will never happen.

Rosanna announced at the top of the 8am hour that Bianca is the permanent new 7-9 co-host. Not sure if she will be replaced on the early show or about 9-10 (or maybe she said 7-10 and I'm wrong).

For the sake of people like Amy, Marissa and many others who have apparently given up steady jobs, I hope so. FiOS doesn't even carry TWC, so the real question is, is there a market for a streaming weather channel for cord cutters and others. As for the PR stuff, I was particularly interested in whether she was really a meteorologist. She certainly did a credible job with the weather at PIX11, but there is no mention of that on her LinkedIn page, nor have I ever hard it mentioned.

Some interesting stuff in that press release. I did not know that she was considered a co-anchor, nor do I see any evidence in her Linkedin that she is a meteorologist. Maybe she got it on the side like Reagan Medgie did? Also, how does one forecast traffic? Since 2014, she has been forecasting early morning weather and traffic for WPIX, elevating to co-anchor of the PIX11 Morning News program. She is also an active member of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists and an accredited Meteorologist.

To save others the trouble of clicking on the link, it says "Betty Nguyen was an anchor for the PIX11 Morning News. She left the station in October 2021." Seems odd they would leave it up.

And the answer is... Fox News Sets Fox Weather Launch Date For October 25 – The Hollywood Reporter Bad news, it's streaming only. Good news, it's free. Fox News Media says that its Fox Weather streaming service will launch on Oct. 25. The service is one of the most significant streaming efforts at the company, because it is free and advertising-supported. Fox News’ two other streaming services, Fox Nation and Fox News International, are subscription-based. In addition, the company says it hired Amy Freeze, the weekend meteorologist for WABC New York, as an anchor.

Don't think so, and wouldn't Audrey get the job in that case? And she and Amy are very good friends, so I can't see that they'd bring in Amy and bump Audrey.

Unlikely, since she would not be announcing that she was leaving, only to come back to corporate. I'm thinking either network or cable, although WPIX would be a possibility if Mr. G wanted to retire on his own, not pushed out. If she wanted to do something other than weather, there's a spot on the Fox5 morning show, but that is unlikely.

Amy Freeze posted on Instagram that tomorrow is her last day at WABC, but she is not leaving NYC. Amy's post says "more announcements are ahead". Mike Marza commented about "your amazing opportunity" on her IG post. Let the guessing begin. Suddenly Brittany Bell coming in makes sense. Natalie Allen posted that she is also joining Newsy.

I was away this week, but based on her IG posts it seems like Kirstin was co-anchoring at 4pm with Tamsen. Vanessa out again?

Actually, I am not concerned about them working overtime (well I guess it's a pain) and you completely missed the point of my post/rant (which I guess I had not mentioned) I hate that they run late because it screws up the shows that follow it, and my DVR recording of those shows. If the games are never going to end on time, they should just schedule additional time so there is at least a chance of the following shows starting on time.

Just saw a commercial advertising Hazel starting Monday.

And it sucks whenever it happens (even worse when they say "wait we have another game to switch to!"). Sorry for the rant.

Ugh, and it's 11:06 and the game still has "six" minutes left, which probably means it won't be over until at least 11:30. Amusingly, the news was supposed to be on at the regular time. I hate football season with the late running games. Update - the game ended over an hour late. Almost as pathetic as the Giants losing again.

I thought I saw a comment from Kala that it was not her decision to leave the morning anchor slot. If Betty didn't like the morning grind, she's certainly not going to want to move to 5-7am, unless she wants the opportunity to be home before her kids leave for school.

Well, the powers that be clearly didn't see then being as good as Hazel. If they wanted to move Kala back to the anchoring in the morning, she would have been there by now. Personally, I can't see Betty moving to the early show as being the move since it would be a demotion.

Has she been on recently? I don't watch when she's on, and she isn't very active on social media. Of course, she could be going to FOX5, in spite of nynewslover just saying that they need a male presence. Still odd for a replacement to be named before the current occupant has announced that they are leaving.

He announced on IG that he's going to Atlanta. HERE’S TO A NEW JOB IN A NEW CITY!! Hello, @Newsy and Hello, @CityofAtlanta Newsy Is Relaunching Oct. 1, and Here’s How the Reimagined Over-the-Air News Network Will Define Success https://adweek.it/3Cf8ny7

Per the WCBS thread, Hazel Sanchez just announced on IG that she is the new 7-11am co-anchor of the WPIX Morning News. Had Betty announced that she was leaving?

So what happens to Betty? i guess that is to be discussed in the other thread.

Actually, I was wrong. It was Kirsten and Dan. No John today, at least not at 5am.

Kirstin, same as last week. At least she was at 5am

Although many here would approve, I find it hard to believe that they'd bring back Kala after they dumped her from that spot.

Not a big surprise, is it? I wonder if Kirstin Cole gets the morning slot, or they look for someone else (presumably younger or more diverse). She's pretty good with John.
