Yes. They use the talent open fir both shows on Fridays

It’s a video screen as of a few weeks ago..

Samantha Augeri is leaving FOX5 and returning to News12 Long Island. Her last day is Saturday.. wonder if someone is leaving or what changes they’re making?

Samantha Augeri is leaving FOX5 and returning to News12. Saturday is her last day.

I really hope they aren’t planning on making Good Day Wake Up a single anchor show.. all of last week they only had Kerry Drew or Ragen Medgie on (solo) and today it was Kerry again alone.

I know it won’t happen so no one jump down my throat but I think it would be so cool to see Steve Bartlestein back and then eventually reunite with Lori when Rosanna retires

So I have a question.. I’m really not up early enough most days to see the early news and when I am I’m out of the house by 5:30.. is Alex a 3rd anchor basically now? How much screen time does she get compared to when she was exclusively traffic? And how major is her role on the show now?

I have a really funny feeling News12 will be available on Verizon https://www.lohud.com/story/news/local/2019/08/20/verizon-commits-hyper-local-not-rnn-fios-1-news-westchester-long-island-new-jersey/2059570001/

It sounds like something that may be outsourced.. the original report listed 150 layoffs.. no?

Sounds similar to what happened at PIX11... just sayin

Unfortunately that most likely won’t happen.. the show seriously needs a male presence though. Robert Moses and either Kerry Drew or Regan Medgie would do well

Today was Sukanya Krishna’s last day on Good Day Wake up.. tomorrow is Jenn Lahmers last day.. wonder who the new team will be.. maybe Robert Moses and Kerry Drew?

News 12 Bx/Bk share a studio.. not sure where it is.. the News 12 WC/HV studio and main newsroom used to be in Yonkers but is now broadcast from LI.. the newsroom in Yonkers is still in operation as is the west nyack center

Do they leave it on all the time? I remember a few Facebook lives where the screens went black minutes after the newscast ended.. but that’s beside the point.. it looks great. I wish they’d use a live shot I think it would look great.

I’m sorry but WCBS has nothing going for them in the morning right now.. Despite what others on this thread say traffic is pretty important in the morning.. what’s the Happening Today segment? Like a rundown of top stories or something?

Most likely not by choice.. Carol Silva is at the end of the year too..

The weather center in both shots are the same set.. just different angles.. however there are 2 different weather centers.. one used during newscasts and the other one that’s upstairs which is used during GMA/breaking weather cut ins

My thing is WCBS is not the strongest in the morning to begin with so eliminating something people are accustomed to or rely on is just dumb.. yes they say traffic reports are outdated within minutes but many people that watch live in the suburbs.. if they hear that there’s an accident and the GW is backed up or the palisades is down to one lane they’ll probably adjust their routine.. all in all traffic is just as.. if not more important than the weather in the morning.. which is why it’s done at the top and as often as it is.. i just think it’s insane for them to bypass traffic all together and be so inconsistent with it..

Him and Sandra make a pretty good team.. have good chemistry and flow

Thank you for clarifying.. I was actually not aware of that

So I have a question maybe someone can answer.. For example WABC has Alex Lee fill in whenever Heather is off.. Alex Lee is also heard on 94.7 (NYs Country) and a few others.. Christina Stoffo (who used to anyway) fill in for Ines on FOX 5 is heard on KTU, Z100, Lite FM etc.. obviously the same traffic provider for each station, respectively.. WCBS has radio stations with the same parent company as WCBS-TV.. no?? So why not use Patty Steele from 101.1 or someone from 880.. even if they just sit at the desk or stand at a monitor wall.. Hell, even use a field reporter. But anyway if someone could answer the radio question that would be great.. I’m kinda interested

Today was Baruch Semtovs last day

No they don’t.. however PIX11 does have talent bumpers while going to commercial every so often showcasing the talent...

Hoping they get a male co-anchor (now don’t ban me) the show needs some testosterone and more balance

Possibly the first of its kind anchor pairing this morning.., Alex Stokes anchored with her mother Lori Stokes on Good Day NY.. filled in for Rosanna
