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.

I wouldn’t mind Lori moving to evenings at all. She would definitely help ratings and improve the newscast. Good Day needs a male presence if you ask me.. obviously no chance of Greg coming back at this point but they need someone like that who balances it a bit.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Lori moved to evenings and paired with someone else.. bring a harder feel to the evening and let her do the “bigger” interviews. Then bring in a new male anchor for the morning (preferably but unlikely Greg Kelly)

According to Samantha Augeris Instagram story Chris Cimino has joined News12.

Darlene and Michael anchored the 11 this morning

News 12 Westchester put up a new studio in their Yonkers building

I would assume they brought him in with all the news surrounding Trump going on they probably wanted 2. I was surprised to see 7 went with Sandra solo at 11.. did they have an earlier newscast? I wasn’t around to see.

I wonder if he’ll be anchoring or just reporting?

News 12 Westchester is building a new set in Yonkers as well. I guess they’ll report from there instead of the newsroom until they go back to 2 anchors on a set... isn’t the Long Island newsroom/studios supposed to be relocating this year?

Couldn’t agree more.. I wouldn’t mind seeing Mike take over the 5 with Sade and have Bill go back to doing just the 6&11. Would Phil Lipof come back to his old spot? Who knows? I guess it’s 2020 and anything is possible

I’m sorry but an hour long newscast should not be anchored solo. I understand the pandemic perspective (and budget cuts) but in the long run I don’t see a solo an or at 5 working out.

Agreed. And the “breaking news as we come on the air tonight” has got to stop.

News 12 gave a bit more of an extended tribute with staff on Instagram

She was a reporter for News12 Hudson Valley/ Westchester a few years back.. she’s been a few different places it seems since then.. she was always pretty good.. I liked her.. definitely stood out a bit lol

Interesting.. I’m gonna assume here that either Kori picks up the 6 and then him and Tamsen do all 3 shows... or... one of the evening shows get a new team..

When Mike Marza was brought on wasn’t he “anchor/reporter”? I’d be pretty shocked if he wasn’t given some sort of more permanent anchor role now that a spot is open

Rosanna and Lori are both back in the studio this morning.. socially distanced of course

Welp. There goes my theory as Ernies replacement. It’ll be interesting to see once everything winds down a bit what they do with the 6.. wil they go to a more traditional format (hopefully) and who will anchor?
