  1. Brian Williams will NOT be renewing his contract with MSNBC; he will be leaving the network at the end of the year. https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/brian-williams-leaving-msnbc-nbc-news-1235108664/
  2. In this case, she said on her Twitter that she is leaving the news industry altogether.
  3. Screencap of WCAU 4PM intro. I believe this is the first time they’ve had the Philly skyline featured in their intro since 2014 (which is when they switched to the standard Look F graphics). They’re also using the older cut of LA Groove in the intro that they used from 2014-2016.
  4. Two big pieces of NewsNation programming updates revealed today: Adrienne Bankert will anchor the new morning block, "Morning in America", from 7-10 AM EST starting September 27. ABC News Chief Legal Analyst and A&E host Dan Abrams will anchor a new program, "Dan Abrams Live", from 8-9 PM EST starting September 27. Ultimately, this will reduce NewsNation Prime to just 1 hour, from 9-10 PM EST. Abrams will continue to serve as Chief Legal Analyst for ABC News.
  5. Both anchors are now sitting at the desk as of 4PM today.
  6. WPVI in Philly has almost all of their on-air people back in-studio and the anchors are sitting closer together (not pre-COVID closeness).
  7. I was checking the listings for this weekend and I noticed that World News Tonight is being pre-empted on Saturdays in favor of an hour-long 6:00PM newscast (at least this and next Saturday). This was listed on both TV Passport and On TV Tonight. I'll have to watch for myself to see if this is true.
  8. They were airing infomercials in the 8AM hour on Sundays. This is the temporary set that is being used for their newscasts while the new set is being worked on. But I could eventually see this be reworked into a set for CBSN Philly...
  9. WFMZ is having technical difficulties preventing them from airing their 10 PM newscast. They are showing their 5 PM newscast in its place at the moment.
  10. I like the new name, but I can't tell if they're being serious or if it's just an elaborate April Fool's joke...
  11. A peak of the current set-up for Eyewitness News. (Peak at possible new set?) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMvl7xWLDZm/
  12. Erin and Brian anchoring at 10 tonight.
  13. Ana Cabera will be anchoring from 1-2 PM ET starting in April. The new weekday lineup starting in April will likely be as follows (times in ET): 5-6 AM: Early Start 6-9 AM: New Day w/ John Berman + Brianna Keilar 9-11 AM: Poppy Harlow + Jim Sciutto 11-Noon: Kate Bolduan 12-1 PM: Inside Politics 1-2 PM: Ana Cabera 2-4 PM: Victor Blackwell + Alisyn Camerota 4-6 PM: The Lead 6-7 PM: The Situation Room 7-8 PM: Erin Burnett Outfront 8-9 PM: Anderson Cooper 360 9-10 PM: Cuomo Prime Time 10-Midnight: CNN Tonight
  14. Here's the article from Hollywood Reporter. Brooke Baldwin To Depart CNN
  15. Sarah did noon solo today.
  16. They're still spaced apart, but they're closer than before.
  17. Best of luck to both of them. The Deadline article also mentions that: Linsey Davis will continue to anchor ABC News Live Prime Monday-Thursday; Fridays will have rotating anchors. Whit Johnson will continue to co-anchor GMA Weekend (similar to how Lester Holt did both Weekend Today and Weekend Nightly News).
  18. Elizabeth Flores Named Vice President of News for NBC10 and Telemundo62 Flores is coming from WABC-TV, where she has served as Assistant News Director since 2018. Before that, she spent 17 years at WTVJ/WSCV (NBC6/Telemundo 51) in South Florida in various management positions. Her first day in Philly will be on January 11, 2021.
  19. I didn't think it was possible for a cable provider to lose their own channels.
  20. Without getting too off-topic, that's a shocker IMO.
  21. Here are my predictions right now: 4-7AM: Keith and Erin 11AM: Lucy (she did 11AM today at least) 4PM: Tracy and Jim 5PM: Tracy and Jackie 6/7/11PM: Jim and Jackie Weekend Mornings: Stephania Weekend Evenings: Rosemary You could swap Jim and Jackie's places at 4 and 5. I just can't see Tracy anchoring two hour-long newscasts by herself, even during the pandemic.
  22. Erin and Keith have been doing 11AM, as well as 4 & 5PM since COVID started. So I'm not sure if Rosemary will go back to 11AM or if she'll stay with weekend evenings.
  23. I noticed how it's now referred to as "World News Tonight" rather than "ABC World News Tonight", as it used to be years ago.
  24. I think they got rid of the 7AM hour a while ago, at least since last month, maybe earlier.
  25. It was starting today, possibly due to Isiasis. She was working from home yesterday.
