6B is hardly a relatively small space - if that's what meant.  In fact, depending upon whose measurements

you want to use, 6B's floor space is more than a 1,000 square feet larger than 3K's!

More than likely, the only reason the local station was able to use this network studio was that NBC Telesales

couldn't rent it out to an outside entity.

The other way around, as of this morning, Darlene was in Studio 3K and Michael was at home.

Questions: once the pandemic subdues, will those newscast(s) remain in near future, at least at 7:00? It just kind of make All Access (Access Hollywood's spinoff) a bit more redundant, no? Will NBC afford to push late night start to midnight permanently?

Once we're back to "normal," the schedule will follow suit.

WNBC is acting responsibly, more than I can say for WCBS.  Channel 2 is either not pre-empting the network

for important NY state and city virus related news, or is joining-in-progress as it did this morning.  "Tiffany" is

showing tarnish these days!

Hope this new addition had better journalistic chops than another recent hire, Myles Miller.

Last week, Miller did a standup, reporting on a heinous crime, there he was, his eyeglasses propped

on the top of his head, referring constantly to the police as "the cops."

UGH!  We deserve better!!!!!!

He joined WFXT, Boston in August.  It was torturous to watch him during his 3 years at WNBC - he was so uncomfortable on camera.

More importantly, and what makes Stefan Holt's comment even more inept -

A kosher deli has a Jewish/Eastern European heritage and a bodega is connected to the Latino community.

You would have thought with all the editing that the station did to remove

those who are no longer with 4, that they would have removed that shot.

Once again, the bar keeps getting lower and lower!

Speaking of Jersey City, on last night's 11, Stefan Holt called the kosher deli a "Bodega"!

Huh?

Who writes this stuff?  Where was the producer?  Doesn't Holt read his copy before going on air?

And, the station's Saturday "No Tie" policy took a strange turn yesterday.

On the 6, the in studio on camera men wore ties.

On the 11, back to the tasteless idiocy of no ties.

It's difficult to take an anchor seriously when he's talking about murder and mayhem

and he looks as if he's doing the 5 a.m. Farm Report in Iowa!

Just awful!

This is the New York City market and the flagship station of the NBC Television Network.

Received this site's notification that Michael Gargiulo and Matt Brickman were

doing the 11 this morning.

Gargiulo has always been a big favorite of mine.

Have really become a fan of Matt Brickman!  The best hire that WNBC has made

in all too long of a time.

He really should be doing Today in New York with Michael Gargiulo and Darlene Rodriguez.

He has an easy going, big personality and would fit in so much better than Maria LaRosa.

She's nice, she's competent and nothing more.  

Welcome Matt Brickman, you're a welcome addition to Channel 4!
