Yes it absolutely does, he shows clear bias.

That’s exactly it. FOX5 used to do Lews View and clearly label it.. I believe WPIX too used to do something similar.. Bill just interjects and shows clear bias.

Does anyone know who anchored at 4 yesterday? Sandra and Joe did the 5 and did EXCELLENT with the breaking news (as expected) Liz and Joe at 6 again excellent Not sure about the 11.. I might be a little bias here cause I’m not a huge fan of Bill Ritter but it was so nice seeing some different faces on there and not throwing in any sort of comments just straight and to the point.

I guess it depends.. you had Eileen Lapalmer (not sure of spelling) go right to WPIX.. Anthony Carlo right to WABC..

They used to do it all the time like this then it seemed to have stopped for a while

The other day when Star Harvey posted the new set she said something along the lines of other changes coming that she “couldn’t talk about yet” I wonder if she moves to weekday mornings or does at least part of the week?

Anthony Carlo (am anchor) had left news 12 the Bronx.. he posted “I’ll be seeing you soon” or something like that.. I guess he’s headed to one of the city channels.

Not too sure. I only saw the first few minutes and last few minutes of the show. Hopefully we’ll see tonight

Looks like WABC has ended social distancing with anchors like all other stations and is back to having their anchors in “pre-pandemic” seating

Anyone know what’s going on with Sade? She hasn’t been on at 5 but has been on at 11.

I think they’ll be back closer/normal format soon. News 12 just allowed both anchors in the studio again (for Hudson Valley/ LI regions at least). WABC seems to have the anchors further apart than others as most stations are using a wide shot rather than split screen. All that being said with vaccinations increasing I could see regular set up returning sooner than later

I can see something like this happening with News 12.. they seem to be trying to “up” their image and they have already launched News12 New York online.. seems like they’re lighter stories right now but they’re pulled from each News12 station.. it’s kind of interesting to wonder if it’ll develop more and make it to tv.

Since the pandemic it’s been happening a lot. Lori as well has been solo a few times.. I figured it was to limit exposure, kind of a long time to anchor solo

This morning and tomorrow morning (Tuesday and Wednesday) Lori and Rosanna anchored an extra hour at 6am.. since Bianca and Kerry are off.. does anyone know who anchored 4:30-6?

I would love to see Lori Stokes take over the 10:00 slot. The 6:00 is her show and a pretty good format with her so keep her at 6 solo and 10 with Steve.

I’m sure within the next few months things will start going back to normal...

Who assumed she was leaving? All that was mentioned was she has potential to move to network and potential moves if she does? Not sure where anyone said she’s leaving.

I mean I don’t see this being for a few years but I could see Michelle taking a weekday spot now that her kids are older. I feel that many viewers and many on here felt she wanted/deserved the morning spot (and she did deserve it) so who knows what the future may hold.

Why would it be Candace? Sorry but I think there’s some time before that. Sandra and Michelle have much better chemistry with Ken and Sam

Lori Stokes is really becoming the face of FOX5.. she anchored GDNY this morning.. filled in for Dari at 5 and then did her regular 6.. I really liked her at 5. Would like to see her anchor the evenings permanently.

I will say the 6:00 has definitely improved with Lori. I like the format with a few interviews thrown in.. I wish they’d bring back sports tho. The 5:00 and 10:00 need work. The anchors have no flow and they just don’t seem to “mesh” I would really like to see anchor change this year and if they go with a more hard news format they could easily beat 11 and maybe even 4?

Hopefully with the name change comes some content change and a newscast worth watching.

If all you have to worry is a TV stations Christmas commercial after the year that we’ve had you are one lucky person. They are clearly trying to boost some spirits and keep a tradition going while keeping their staff safe. Jeez.
