I get it that Candace McCowan is a free lancer. But still, she has been around for awhile and her bio not being on the web site is disingenuous by WABC, but either that's the policy or she does not want it on there. She is on facebook tho so it can't be a big privacy thing.

This Lori Stokes and Rosanna Scotto teamup is a complete joke how many fools on here are going to say Oh what a great team
They are still in the honeymoon phase. After about a year, IMO it will start to get ugly because since both have been in this market for such a long time, both will fell "I belong in the power chair". And in a co-anchor set up, there is only one power chair.

To have 2 males co-anchoring a newscast today is quite rare IMO.

Saw a facebook post today where Diana mentioned that Sade should be back Monday.
Yes, I did see the report by Darla yesterday.

My best to Sade and Darla for full recoveries and hope to see them back on the air soon.

Recently they seemed to hire a lot more sports people. Now that they canned "Sports on 1, the Last Word" after 25 years on the air, they all get canned. Including long time employees Budd Mishkin and Kevin Gerrity.
I agree that sports is expensive for them to cover and they only do it for an hour every night, but it will be missed after 25 years of it. Another enhcancement by Spectrum I suppose.

Dray Clark is departing for NBC Philadelphia.
I know Dray came from Philadelphia, but was it that same station?

Shirleen was on with Joe at 6pm tonight.
Same thing today (Sunday).
-
Today (Tues. 8/22): Noon anchors Liz and Michelle.
-
Shirleen has been off the noon news lately and has been on at 4 and 5. There are so many missing lately I can't keep track: Williams. Sade, Navarro. I was shocked yesterday : A FRIDAY and Ritter and Cho did both the 5 and 6 with Ritter going solo at 11.
Noon Thursday were Nelson and Glassburg. Noon Friday was Rosado and Glasssburg.
I can't believe they allow so many anchors to take off at one time, but hey, it's their business, not mine!
-
A bit of a correction: Erica doubled up on Saturday. Kristyal covered on Sunday.
-
Marissa Torres (yes, the Traffic Girl and anchoring is in her resume) anchored the PIX News @ 5 on Saturday 5/27. Presumably she did the 10 PM as well.
I'm Happy Scott is going back to sports. I like his style of presenting it. I watch the PM news more than the AM news.

And yet that's exactly what Gus Rosendale has been doing the past few weekends, first with Jen Maxfield and now with Jummy - doing the morning show and then co-anchoring the 11 pm news.
Point well taken, but on the weekend there usually is not much news. Plus with such an extreme shift hours, Rosendale probably goes home for a nap.
It's not unusual for weekenders to double up. Often done with the weather people. It's only 2 days.

They may not post here - doesn't mean they don't READ what's on here... "disappointed office seekers"? never has it been said that anyone NOT getting a staff job at PIX was a disappointment. The fact is Suki was hard to look at AND hard to listen to - I would think more people posting negative comments is because Suki (Tamsen & others ) got jobs they're not qualified to be doing - which would make just about anybody posting here AT LEAST as qualified as them. ya I could see the same or better quality Anchors sore that Suki and Tamsen have those jobs making that kind of money. Suki & Tamsen got these jobs after being FIRED as STREET REPORTERS from CBS2 - so maybe they were just the ones willing to sell out and do the dirty deeds for the PIX sales dept. (that other stations refuse to do - plugging products/companies etc.). PIX11 slogan is "it's either your stepping stone or your tombstone" - pretty much the latter...
Maybe Suki and Tamsen were hired by previous management because they were "pretty faces". IMO the PIX morning news has relied on sex appeal, more than FOX5 ever did.

CeFaan Kim is now a full time reporter for WABC.
Waiting for his profile on the "News Team" page.
-
Read it again. ".....staffer Dray Clark".

And those free-lancers never make it into the staff profile section. Now it seems Candace McCowan is the free-lance street reporter in the morning along with staffer Dray Clark.
-
I like her work but it remains to be seen how long Betty survives at the revolving door at PIX. Plus being somewhat of a "journey-woman", it's not a good combo.
Will Scott remain as co-anchor?

I've seen David Ushery on the air at 11 AM, so filling in for Chuck at 11 PM would be an awfully long day for David to sub when Chuck is missing.

Nareen Chowdry on the PIX News at 5 in place of Kaity today.

As I said "I get it". I'm just saying!
