Per social media.. Regan posted she does not have a set schedule yet and she’ll be on at diff times… also she’ll be reporting and doing the weather so it definitely seems more than freelance

Former Fox5 NY meteorologist Raegan Medgie is filling in for Dani this morning

She must be training. Dani put up an Instagram story and she is in the studio with her. So they now technically have 6 on air weather people? 

During the banter at 6:00 tonight Liz had made a comment (to which the guys replied) and she responded with that’s what happens when you anchor for 3.5 hours straight. It was kinda funny. Lauren anchored with her at 4 and 5

Must have been a last minute call out. Mike must be sick. Channel 7 almost never has one anchor alone on newscasts longer than 30 minutes...except for weekend evenings. They usually don't have anyone fill in for Joe or Sandra when they're off for some reason. 

They also appear to be short handed this week. It seems as if everyone but Liz was off last night. Not sure who did the 4:00, but Joe and Sandra did 5/11 and Liz did the 6:00 solo. Mike also worked like everyday last week so he is entitled to a day off finally lol

Tonight at 11, Sandra and Joe anchored.  On a Wednesday!

They did the 5 too

Interesting. When I passed by it was about 20 minutes to 10 and Shirleen and Dani were sitting at the main desk.

Looks like they could be shooting a promo. I’m sure it doesn’t take much to set up the small desk

Which goes to the point that if they are willing to put either Joe or Sandra on a weekday slot, age is not a factor.

 

Sade moving --not that it's going to happen--is not implausible because didn't Liz Cho get moved from the 11 years ago?

 

My line of thinking was, if Bill goes, who will be Sade's co anchor. Do they keep Sade on at 5&11 and add Joe as you suggest, or would they keep a Sandra and Joe pairing intact, or do they get someone different all together.

 

Your suggestion seems to be more likely than mine as Sandra is apparently on the noon now. Anyway, it's all speculation. Time will what the station will do.

Liz wanted off the 11 so she could be home earlier 

Call me crazy but how about 

4 and 6/6:30 Ken Rosato and Airanee 

5 and 10 Kori and Shirley

Just tuned in at 4pm to see who is anchoring- and Hazel Sanchez is there. Would definitely not be opposed to her on evenings, although they probably shouldn't mess with their current anchor teams too much.

Was wondering because Arianne has been doing the 5:00 and Shirley doing the 6:00 and 6:30 along with the 10. 

Tamsen anchored her last newscast at 4pm. Surprised she didn’t finish out the 5 and 6

Per Craig Treadway on Instagram Tamsen Fadal is leaving WPIX

Liz Cho is on tonight with Joe Torres. Are they possible testing parings? As far back as the last few years often times Joe or Sandra were solo if one of them was off.

Bill Ritter is anchoring this morning with Chantee Lans. That's even more unlikely than working a weekend night, imo.

Looks like Sandra anchored yesterday morning with Chantee and Kemberly Richardson anchored last night with Joe. 

That would be cool but someone wrote “hope to see you on TV” and Ken said “soon I promise”

Yeah I did a double when I turned the news on tonight. Bill was off yesterday’s 11pm so it was probably planned.

Bill has been off Fridays at 11 since I think the summer. Before Mike was promoted he was doing the 11 on Fridays for a while. Bill is there tonight because of the breaking news I’m sure. WNBC had David Ushery on as well

Some of the names from NJ.

Another News 12 Long Island veteran has left the station. Virginia Huie was there for 17 years.

Seems that she has something lined up… a lot of people seem to be showing up on NewsdayTV. I wonder if that’s where she’ll go 

He not really for working for PIX is he? Isn’t the show syndicated? He’s not really working for their news division. So technically still WNBC and WPIX

Noticed today Katie McGee was in studio doing traffic reports on Eyewitness News First at 4.

She was in for Heather the other morning. Wonder if she’s a permanent add to the 4:00?

I assume this change also means that Dani will be taking Brittany's spot on weekends? The split is not a bad idea, having 2 mets on staff for 3 broadcasts.

I agree I just feel like having the morning show split is weird. Wouldn’t it make more sense doing the AM and the 10. Then the noon and 4? Or the AM and then the 10 and noon? 

I’ve been watching on and off since 5:30.. I’m almost sure Brittany was doing weather. Going to break David Novarro said Sam Champion will be in with the forecast.. so maybe they are splitting?

I believe WABC considered making 9/11 memorial coverage online-only one year about a decade ago but there was enough backlash to nix that idea.

Yup they were going to move it to a sub channel I believe maybe at the 11th or 12th anniversary and people went nuts

Normally yeah it ends at noon, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't do coverage. We're in the streaming days it doesn't have to be broadcast anymore they read the names every year and they've done that since the 1st anniversary, I wouldn't be surprised if they decide ehh we need the revenue, stream it online. It's like if we had TV during Pearl Harbor the Hawaii stations would do coverage for every anniversary for 20 years but then the next generation comes that won't even care unless they learn it in school and most of the families by now who lost loves one's in Pearl Harbor will themselves be old or dying and their descendants won't even care too much because they weren't alive and it was a long time ago. But again every 9/11 anniversary is almost the same why do they need to do coverage every year? It's been 21 years almost 22, I can understand a milestone anniversary like the 20th or the 25th but the next generation will learn it in school or online and descendants of 9/11 victims are not going to have a severe emotional connection it's been long ago that children who lost there fathers now have kids of there own and those kids unless there parents always bring up there grandparents are not gonna care. And kids who dont have relatives who were unalived on 9/11 they're not gonna pay attention and listen to every name of every person that died. The World Trade Center, Washington’s Pentagon, and Shanksville Somerset County, PA killed 2,977 people, that's 2,977 names the future generation isn't gonna want to listen to those names for 3 hours straight.

I don’t know that I agree with this. Maybe you’re not from New York? But that’s a day that literally happened in our own backyard. It was a day that almost everyone.. if not everyone.. was affected and likely knew someone that died. Do I think the reading of the names will continue forever? No. But as long as it does I do feel the local NY stations will carry it. It’s not like it used to be before the 10 year where there was coverage from early morning to late night with replays of the day of the event, but I don’t think it’ll just stop cold on the main channels.
