  1. Excellent pick up for WNBC.. So this would officially make 3 full time assignment reporters for TINY.
  2. Christine Sloan now with ABC News. NY based correspondent. No wonder I haven’t seen her for the better part of this year.
  3. Valerie Castro is now with NBC News & MSNBC. NYC based correspondent and substitute anchor for early mornings on NBC.
  4. …. and still is a member of the NBC O&O. Just not in Boston. Plus he knows in NYC it's a different playing field. He did 7 Years to be exact so he knows the rules.
  5. The short answer is NO. She's been active on her twitter feeds. If she were to leave there are NOT many options b/c Ken and Shirleen are #1 on the time slot and everyone thinks that she may go back to WABC. Only way I see Lori leaving WNYW and heading back to Lincoln Center is a very bad rift between Rosanna and her.
  6. Phil has started and filed his first report on Tuesday. There is a rule in journalism that the expression of personal views does not reflect of those at Television stations. So.. in theory what ever he says on his twitter page are his own personal views. If WNBC wanted to past judgement on those views he wouldn't be there and we would have a different conversation. As long as he can do his job properly and doesn't create a toxic environment at WNBC in which I'm pretty sure they don't tolerate.
  7. Phil Lipof first day at WNBC- 10/13/20.
  8. Basically a demotion. What's not broken doesn't need to be fixed. But if PIX is trying to catch WABC and WNBC for top morning show between 4:30-7, they still have a long shot.
  9. CNBC & MSNBC have different audiences and plus there won't be a Joy Reid vs Shep Smith as he may crossover to MSNBC & NBC at times for Breaking News and other related work at the NBC Networks. Smith's show start mid-to late September.
  10. I don't see WNBC management making any moves with regards to David's co-anchor anytime soon. If I were a bettor Rana should deserve the top spot. I also too like Jen Maxfield. However, Gilma Avalos is fine on the weekends. Now, I could only see Kala staying if she's out on the field. However, if she decides to leave. WNBC would be the logical place for her. Look Myles Miller is there and he's doing very well there. So the possibility of 2 PIX alums at WNBC is not far in reach.
  11. Either Breaking news anchor during the AM or 6PM news or simply out on the field reporting.. I personally don't think that WNBC is ready to fill that slot as of yet... Still too early to tell on that. Stacey only left a few months ago. Newsrooms are cleaning up shop in other places. Not in NYC as of yet. Insert Treadway & Rama at 6PM... That's if PIX management wants to go that route.
  12. Wow.... Newsroom changes already... I could see Dan, Betty, Byron, Ben, and Marisol going bye-bye soon. Nexstar I tell you.. UPDATE: Craig Treadway is moving to evenings. Uncertain with Kala Rama
  13. Gilma returned last night at 11. She was in studio while Adam was home.
  14. Didn't know David Ushery was also a WABC alum.. How long did he stay before making the switch to 30 Rock...
  15. I've been off the grid for a while but just noticing that every CBS O&O except NYC has laid off part of their staff.
  16. Too add on this: CBSN Boston is also producing CBSN programming in addition to DC & LA..
  17. Ahem.. If WCBS didn't get rid of the WLNY Studio in Riverhead.. None of this nonsense would be happening. Riverhead to Manhattan is nothing less than 90 minutes. It's good to see other talent from the LA O&O helping out WCBS.
  18. https://www.alticeusa.com/news/articles/feature/media/news-12-receives-market-leading-69-new-york-emmy-award®-nominations
  19. Also to add to your update: WBZ is still technically taking over CBSN New York and CBSN. UPDATE: Demarco Morgan- KCBS-LA doing newscasts today 5,6 & 11 this evening for WCBS TV & CBSN New York...
  20. Same thing during Kristine Johnson's segment on Sunday.. If WCBS didn't do away with their Long Island Bureau studio in Melville, that would of been the biggest difference. But dispatching work to WBZ, KCBS/KCAL and KPIX was their logic and the easiest way. Again, I really hope in the future that WCBS has something in place within the NYC area with regards to a different studio. I'm also a bit surprised that they didn't use the CBS Sports studios at Chelsea Piers- I believe is Pier 59... (Someone correct me on this). I also do know NFL Today is also filmed at the main studio at 57th street.
  21. Not happening anytime soon. NBC is very creative in finding ways to make their 3rd and 4th hours of today and as @MorningNews indicated those 2 hours are pretty popular.
  22. CBSN PHILLY (AM) Donovan (main studio) Burrell (Newsroom)
  23. Thoughts... Source: FTV Live. My personal opinion: I've lost faith with WCBS TV years ago so this is nothing new with them. Situations like this you gotta have ample studio space throughout the tri-state area. Depending only with the 524 West 57th Street is not the best logistical thing to do. However, at this point what's done is done and I hope in the future that WCBS gets their act together and have additional NYC // Long Island studios and not have to depend on work in LA and Boston.
