  1. Posted this in the WABC thread but I’ll post here as well. Seems like end of month Eyewitness News will be in their new newsroom and studio
  2. Does anyone have any sneak peaks of the set or any ideas on what it will look like?
  3. Per Bill Ritter they move at the end of the month
  4. Looking on Alice Gainer’s Facebook she posted about Maurice on his last day, someone commented asking who the replacement is and she replied no decision has been made yet. It seems the main contenders are Dick and Jessica. I’m a little surprised we haven’t seen Alice or Doug more in the run but I guess we’ll see. Maybe a Chris and Kristine reunion lol
  5. One of the anchors (forget who) put on social media a few weeks ago that they are moving this month so I guess we will see pretty soon. Let’s hope they do it right
  6. It seems that Lonnie will do the 5 but not the 6? Lonnie was on at 5:00 but John Elliot doing the 6:00.
  7. I noticed that was the first thing Maurice said. They seemed to want to make it a point and emphasize that the broadcast would be dedicated to covering the crash .
  8. 99.99% of what he posts is negative about something. Lord knows who actually said what. Most of the feedback seems to be positive. It's a different approach and it stands out. Will there be changes and adjustments? Im sure there will be. But it stands out from the rest and that is what they're going for
  9. Jessica Moore and Krisitine Johnson are anchoring again tonight. I think they are still testing pairs, but again who knows. Jessica and Dick seem to be the main candidates. If it was definitely Allen Devlin why wouldn't he be on tonight?
  10. Sure seems like they're going to be anchoring together. Interested to see tomorrow and going forward.
  11. I was thinking the same thing. He’s barely anchored I was expecting to see much more of him during the last few weeks. It does seem they’re testing the two pairs you mentioned and nothing is actually set 100% yet. I wonder if they’ll try others as well? I also wonder if Maurice will be on to say goodbye and stuff?
  12. Family health matter= suspended. Good sources you have
  13. On what platform? Optimum channel 7 is showing the Noon newscast. Joe Torres Michelle Charlesworth are anchoring and Jeff doing weather
  14. So today Tanya Rivero and Shirleen anchored this morning. Bill and Sandra on at 5.. Bill solo at 6. Mike reported for the 5. I was surprised to see him reporting over anchoring. Guess it’s the way of “easing” in. It’s been asked but is there a date of when the moves happen?
  15. I really gotta say… While I have NOTHING against Curt Menefee, taking time to watch GDNY this week Dan Bowens is really a breath of fresh air with Rosanna. I know it probably won’t happen but seeing Dan paired for the main show permanently might be a really good thing for the show.
  16. It seems what they do is “recap” especially the 10am show in promos, each day, regardless of who’s on, same for EWNTM. But promos still air with the main team. According to other posts it seems they’re moving next month? Do we see the anchor teams flipping then or does Bill wait til after February? And just to confirm… Mike will be doing the 5 and 11 when this happens? Pedro AMs and 10?
  17. Shirleen won’t be moving off mornings. She’s the “face” of mornings for WABC. Mike and Sade will be the 5 and 11, can’t see it being any other way.
  18. Does anyone know if Sade is ok? It’s been weeks since I have seen her on air. And before anyone makes a smart remark, I don’t think anything was mentioned on social or on air because other viewers are asking on Bill and Sandra’s pages too.
  19. I really don’t see what the issue is with Marza. Since he arrived he’s been on pretty much every newscast, so viewers have seen him and know who he is. I think he’ll fill the role more than fine and has proven he’s more than in it. It’ll be interesting to see how the morning plays out, for a station that had the same teams in place for so long, this will be the second anchor change in (as many?) years.. I forget when Ken left.
  20. A few weeks now yes especially at 6:00. I couldn’t agree more, not visually appealing even on TV
  21. Noticed on GDNY late last week. It makes it look 1000% better. Hopefully we see similar backdrops make it to other shows
  22. I think he’s good. I actually think he’s a little better fit for the evenings rather than the mornings and they are clearly exposing him to viewers at all times so he will be well known and I think most viewers will adjust quickly. The mornings is what I’m not sure about. I know someone mention Pedro Rivera joining the desk with Shirleen but watching him a few times on weekdays (don’t really watch weekends much) I don’t know he’s the best fit there.
  23. I believe Friday (or one day last week) Mike did every evening newscast 4,5,6,11
  24. I don’t think they’ve ever (if very rarely) done 2 anchors at 6pm. Even if they’re both off it will be a solo anchor.
