So.. Marisol Castro made a brief return back to Pix11 on Saturday night while Joe Mauceri was on assignment in Cooperstown.

It's been a while. She's been with NBC since the beginning of this year if I recall correctly.

New Meteorologist search is over: Maria LaRosa is now the new TINY meteorologist. Starting 7/29. Hopefully, promos soon at your local New York City subway stop.

CBS2 being cheap right now.....

I always thought Otis Livingston does the recorded sports segments, that's unless he's on vacation and Dick Brennan is subbing, However, very nice screen shot.

Interesting story: NBC Connecticut Political reporter Max Reiss is leaving to serve in Ned Lamont's administration starting Monday 7/22/19. I don't know how I feel about political reporters working on the dark side in State politics. The last reporter that did the transition from reporter to political administration was John Miller from WNBC-TV/CBS News/ABC News.

For WCBS.. It's called $$$$$ savings in the traffic department. It's easier to have an inhouse anchor do the traffic rather than a dedicated traffic reporter. Although Alex Denis is shown in the main promos doing traffic. Tri-State area traffic isn't really hard to understand. However, when you have all the stations reporting almost the same traffic everyday than I could see why WCBSTV doesn't have a dedicated traffic person. PS: New WCBSTV promo now features Elise. Along with Chris, Mary, Alex.

Noticed that Pix 11 picked up a new freelance reporter: Alicia Nieves. She's been with the station since April. Previously from CBS3 Philadelphia- General Assignment reporter.

They are dropping like flies at Fox 5.. However, good luck to Baruch. Now that's 2 from GDW/NY.

TINY 7/15 Darlene > Jen > Lauren > Rafael . WNJU needs a major make over. PS: George Spencer from CAU now at WNBC (General Assignment reporter). Started- Saturday.

7/11 AM line up for today: Ken > Michelle > AMY (Sam off until Monday) Accurate...

CBS3 Philadelphia has live coverage of today's festivities in New York City.

Now those Good Day Wake up bus ads can stop for a bit in New York City... Who's been taking Jennifer spot as of late or is Suki doing the show by herself?

I'm glad that is fixed, and yes WRC is the undisputed leader in DC metro news. Period.

I didn't know where to post this on this side of the forum. However, WTTG started their 4PM newscast yesterday and they BOMBED BADLY. According to FTV. (I believe it too) Angie Goff from WRC and Blake McCoy from NBC News- Chicago Bureau are the lead anchors for the 4PM news. I mean not all debuts of a 4PM newscast will look flawless. However, the newscast suffered some technical difficulties, an misspell on an reporter doing reporting in Potomac with the dangerous mass floods which crippled most of the city yesterday. Plain and simple.. It's Day 1 and they got tons of work to do. Beating the other DC metro stations are no easy fate as most watch WRC News 4 at 4, 5,6, and 11 and WUSA Channel 9 at 5.

This I agree.

You may be right with both WNBC and WCAU Right now WCAU it's usually with the anchor alternates after each news cast. WNBC: At times I've seen either Michael G, David Ushery or Jonathan Dienst doing Breaking news-Live Anchor desk. (However, rarely used in New York City) Whatever happened to Kerry Barrett?

Jummy Olabanji has now started at WRC as the Breaking News-Live Desk Anchor as of 7/1. (homecoming of sorts). Previously at WJLA & WNBC TV has now returned home to DC. Her bio is still on WNBC-TV. I know for sure WNBC and CAU don't have Breaking News-Live Desk Anchors (Correct)???

TINY for 7/8. Jen > Michael > Lauren > Dave. My money is still on Rafael to get the TINY spot. However, Dave has the morning show experience. But, seniority rules.

Change the graphics (might be waiting a few years for that). Other than that good opening for WNYW (O&O).

Jeff Berardelli left WPIX about a few months ago. He's freelancing at WCBS..

I meant to answer this yesterday (Friday). However, David Novarro has plenty in the tank left and I don't forsee any retirement for him anytime soon. (This is my overall opinion on the Bill situation). Bill Ritter I say another 5 years at least before he retires. New York anchor talent is shrinking and you gotta keep the good ones from leaving. Retirement is one thing. However, if it's backdoor conversations that can be resolved including contracts (we) has forum members have no say since this is management. All we can do is offer opinions to certain outcomes (to a degree).

I believe the cutoff for Altice/Cablevision in Jersey is in Central part of the state.. Comcast country starts in Trenton and expands throughout most of PA. (Correct me if I'm wrong on this)

I'm happy that CBS2 is now incorporating the CBSNNY Ticker. However, less clutter is needed. Modify the weather portion to only: Central Park, JFK/LGA/EWR, Rutgers Piscataway-New Brunswick and Connecticut (Weather reading offices only) Other than what you mentioned- I agree.
