Forgive my snicker at this comment... after all, isn't this entire site "inside baseball"? I mean, I've seen pages of debate on fonts used on-screen! LOL!
As for the rest, you certainly make a fair point. But I respectfully disagree. As a broadcaster, myself, I can tell you first hand that older viewers/listeners are laser focused on their favorite programs, especially those they trust to provide information. They tend to be far more critical and cognizant of absences than younger audiences. They are most sensitive to imbalance and will complain the loudest... these are actual relationships for some people. They are also now more adept and plugged into social media than you might realize.
I agree, but also disagree. Overall, this is a top team that doesn't need Sam (and trust me, I'm a BIG fan of his). But you might want to read the ongoing battlecry of viewers who are still asking for Bill Evans to return. Human attachment is what keeps these shows alive. It's all they have against the faster-feeding of digital content. If all they cared about was info, Bill Evans would have been forgotten in a few days. It's been six months and a LOT of viewers have not let go of his disappearance. And as terrific as Sam is (again, I'm a fan and prefer him to Bill), many would be happier to have Bill back.
We all gotta face it. Bill is not coming back. I also like you admire Bill. A true staple of New York TV. 25 years and most of it doing AM weather and PLJ. So him going back to his radio roots I understand. However, that drive out east to Midtown Manhattan is HELL, and we don't know what happen close-doors with management for him to up and leave. At the end of everything this is the best 4:30AM-7AM crew at the #1 station. Something I would like to see in the near future maybe one of the early AM reporters in the anchors chair while Ken or Shirleen are out and not getting Michelle out of bed early AM!

Or to the majority of viewers too old to notice or care... well... they don’t notice or care as long as they know the weather... where he is on his days off is extremely inside baseball don’t you think?
At the end of the day. Sam is at the #1 station. Who knows how long he's gonna be there. All the viewers want is a good accurate weather forecast and good chemistry. So far this morning team has that.

David was on in the afternoon.
They (WNBC) can't seen to get it right with the anchors for 11AM. All the other O&O's either have or already got their 11AM anchors right..

Weird things going on at 11AM.. Adam K. in the anchor chair today.. No David, No Jummy today.

Here's the answer to CBS Evening News: It's staying in New York City.. No Washington DC move as of yet...

You cannot deny the chemistry is spot-on with this team.... and Heather has become my edgy MVP!
.... and that's why they are #1 while everyone else is trying to figure them out.

Stefan Holt is likely going to be off for paternity leave (not sure what the Comcast(NBCU policy is) because his wife gave birth to their second child last week.
Congrats to Stefan! Looks like a little bit of more David at 4:00 for a while until Stefan returns.

Reporters on the scene (1.5 blocks from 30 Rock) included Sarah Wallace, Jamie Roth, Ray Villeda. David Ushery and Jummy Olabanji anchored the coverage in addition to hosting the 4 pm broadcast.
I believe they are on double duty this week 11AM and 4PM. I believe Stephan and Natalie are off for the week (I could be wrong), and Stacey may be off this week (11AM) She didn't broadcast yesterday (AM). However anchoring 5P.
PS: I wonder who is going to replace Jummy when she goes back home to DC (WRC) on 7/1

Don't get me wrong.. Love Michelle, Rob, and Sandra as subs for Ken and Shirleen. However, like you I'd like to see Derek Waller in the chair.
Candice- Excellent reporter.. OK in the anchors chair.. I believe the weekend show is also #1 (Hence Rob-Michelle-Amy) Jeff-sub in.
PS: I wonder how Dray Clark is doing at WCAU.
