At 01:57, Liz Cho's reaction segment the Monday after Bill's Friday Alzheimer's announcement. As shown in the video, Bill & Liz's first broadcast together Sunday, July 6, 2003. I had always assumed this video was of them permanently taking their slots, but didn't realize it was from a weekend. As for who replaces Bill, I would go with either David Novarro since he already anchors with Liz at 4, or Sandra Bookman since she only does one show at noon.

Update on Pat Battle. Her first post since about last year, in reaction to the Knicks victory. She's rocking a shaven head, with no context around that. Multiple Instagram comments express support and say they're rooting for her. Ms. Battle has shared multiple times on the air that she is a breast cancer survivor. Whatever she's going through right now, apparently cancer, all the best to her.... she's literally got fight in her last name

most on air talent probably at or preparing to go to the parade. Im surprised Rosanna, the star of the show was kept in the building instead of at the parade.

My 9 is relevant today! It's being used for Knicks coverage. I like that they actually used WWOR's logo, as many duopolies these days just use the main stations logo when it's on the junior station.

Loving the basketball CBS logo for Knicks Parade coverage! If the logo were bigger it would've been cool to have the actual CBS logo with the iris as the basketball.

Very similar to Washington DC's WTTG. It's Fox 5 Morning from 5-9a then Good Day DC from 9am. My guess is branding the 9 AM onwards differently as it typically has a more lifestyle entertainment feel.

I'm still waiting on a clip to surface of Beutel's last broadcast as regular anchor in 2001. In that 2003 clip, you can really see that Bill was n't saying much as you point out. Similar to Dana Tyler. She said she'd be too emotional to get her words out live, same case will Bill probably.

Good to hear about her reaction. Hopefully they or another account posts that video soon. Interesting that they didn't show Bill interacting with his colleagues, or reaction from his colleagues, regarding his announcement after he made it on Friday. It would have been nice to see everybody wish him well after 20+ years of working together. But I respect his decision to close out the broadcast with just him and the viewer personally alone. I think it's fair. With so many examples of news employers mistreating their employees, it's nice to see an organization respect their talent so much that they take every effort possible to mention his departure.

The stations should really post that, it would be epic to see.

News Active 3 has the post Knicks victory broadcasts from the big three local stations uploaded. Here is WNBC's coverage. Loving the Knicks themed desk.

understandable. I meant in the days after perhaps after the parade, not the day of. History repeats itself. Ritter succeeded Beutel in stages under (eventual) similar circumstances, just months after the Knicks and the Spurs were in the NBA finals.

I wish Bill could've stayed through the Knicks win, one last happy NY story before the tragic circumstances forcing his retirement.

He and NBC are 100 this year. RIP!

I think even in this day and age certain local names still carry weight like Chuck Scarborough and Rosanna Scotto, Lori Stokes and even Sade.

And that's a fair point. Amongst all my rambling, the simplicity of my point was, if their presentation and appearance is still intact, let the old anchors work.
