Will they ever announce a replacement for Maurice? Schedule since he moved to network seems to be Jessica Monday thru Wednesday and then Allan/Dick/Alice on Thursday and Friday. I would hope something more permanent would go into place?

I’m wondering if we’ll see an “official” announcement about Pedro this week? Mike took over the 5 last Tuesday and Pedro was on vacation so it would make sense.

Effective tomorrow Mike Marza takes over the 5:00 with Sade. Bill stays on the 6 with Liz. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1AhpnvNR1h/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Have they? I’ve seen the one where they edited him out and it’s just Shirleen and the crew, and then there’s other ones “recapping” the show from the day, with the team and whoever is in that seat, usually Pedro

Wow. So now they’re down to 3 meteorologists. 2 of whom are on the evening shows and none on the weekends.

He’s been on for a few moths now. According to a post on his social media Shannon had knee surgery and would be out for a few months. John D has also been on in the afternoons

Mike Marza filled in last night at 5. Liz did the 6 solo.

Mike was out covering the Diddy trial yesterday. Not sure about today but yesterday he did several reports for all evening shows.

At the end of the 5pm today after the last weather hit Lonnie announced why he hasn’t been doing the 6 and 11. He suffered a head injury a few months back, was told to work shorter days and to not drive at night, he is now taking time off. Here is the link of him announcing on Evening News. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1TL3az2H6E/?mibextid=wwXIfr

“Replacing” or “in for” cause there’s a big difference. Who knows maybe we’ll see someone we least expect. Again, I thought they said Mike officially takes over on Tuesday, we may see him tomorrow morning, who knows if an official decision is even made but if it is I guess we’ll find out.

Promo for the morning show already had Mike edited out. Only has Shirleen, Brittany, Sam and Heather. No shots of them together. I assume we’ll see new promos anyway for all shows being that all of them show the old studio. I also wonder how much longer Sam will be around, he was very vocal on Instagram and Facebook live the first few days of the “move” and how he no longer lives in NYC (most of the time) and this doubled his commute time. Also.. I’m thinking Mike will appear on the morning show Monday to give an official “goodbye” to that team and the viewers at that time? Do we know for certain that Pedro will take over? Or is there a chance it will go to someone else?

If Mike were to do any of the earlier ones I would hope they’d give him the 5 with Sade. Let Bill finish up his time at 6 with Liz.

I was just coming here to say the same thing. I assume that he will be doing some sort of reporting/main fill in. I thought it was originally reported that he would be stepping down from the 5 and 11, staying on the 6, so it's surprising it's just the 11.

I assume they’ll give Mike his announcement in the morning with the team and Pedro there (assuming he’s still the one taking the spot) and I’m sure weekends will be rotating with the typical people (Toni Yates, Chantee Lana, Janice Yu) until an official replacement is hired.

Here’s a pretty cool transition in the newsroom https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGx4pCbg4OF/?igsh=dXdmcDI3d28wM3lz
