I wonder where that show would air, if it does happen. The CBS O&Os don't seem to have room on their schedules (KYW would have to either move Drew Barrymore or get rid of a newscast). It could go on the sidecar stations, but that wouldn't be good for a show like this. I also wonder if it would be a standard hour or if they would use the half-hour Drew format.

Sarah Bloomquist was reporting live from the Linc for the World Cup during the 6pm show tonight. Now she's back in the studio at 10pm to co-anchor with Walter. I wonder if it's just for the special occasion (plus there's been a lot of news/weather this weekend), or if she's moving back to Sunday nights.

I think they're correcting the way you spelled her name. It's Carabeo, not Carabello. Anyway, I agree that this schedule is just odd. Jan has been doing weekends for years now. I feel like they could have just promoted her to Monday-Friday and found someone else to do weekends. Although, maybe she personally wanted to do it like this.

Kate Snow is anchoring, which makes me believe that this is the live 3pm hour. I wasn't watching at noon so I don't know if it's the same show, though.

I thought that too, but the guide doesn't show it as a "New" episode. Which could be an error, but I don't know.

On Monday, WCAU will be moving Kelly Clarkson back to the 2pm slot (where she originally was from 2019 to 2022) and adding a second hour of NBC News Daily at 3pm. According to the schedule, the 3pm airing will be a repeat of the 12pm airing. Access Daily (currently at 2pm) will move to 2:33am, while Dateline at 1pm remains untouched. Good news for Drew Barrymore, who will now have the only talk show in the 3pm hour (her show airs on KYW), unless you count Maury reruns on WPHL.

Same with WTXF. They have Good Day from 4am to 10am, then the Good Day After Show (which I still don't understand) from 10am to 11am, then FOX Local shows from 11am to noon. Then Sherri finally starts at noon. Meanwhile 25WOL and Divorce Court are both aired after midnight. (I'm not trying to make this a list thread.) I wonder if Jennifer Hudson may have some time slot changes on the FOX O&Os since she's continuing while Sherri (which usually airs right before) has been cancelled. WTXF airs her at 1pm, which is an odd time for a talk show IMO. Are Judge Judy reruns ending? I feel like I've heard that but don't know if it's true. If so, WTXF needs to fill the 2pm hour, too. Hell, at this rate, we might see some of these FOX O&Os picking up the America's Funniest Home Videos reruns!

I really don't understand what is supposed to replace Sherri and Kelly. I would think we would have an announcement by now if there were going to be new shows.

I agree with everything you said here. FOX 29 definitely has the highest amount of people who worked at other stations previously (Bob Kelly, Kathy Orr, Drew Anderson, Jennifer Joyce). That being said, they don't have any spots open. Although, who does weekend evenings? Most likely he'll continue to focus on forecasting online. He could make his own Norcast Weather-type operation, or he could actually join them as I said above.

Chris just posted on Facebook confirming he is moving back to South Jersey. With that being said, I still don't see how he would end up at 6abc again, since they have no openings. Some people on FB said he could work with Nor'easter Nick, which seems more probable to me. Does 29 have any spots? Someone said that Cecily is planning on moving to GMA and Chris could move back to 6, but I have no idea where they got that from and I'm assuming it's pure speculation.

Sorry if you're joking and I'm just not picking up on it, but if you're serious, the article says that both of the incidents were outside of work. So she wasn't actually on air.

The only place I could think of would be 6:30pm, where there aren't any local newscasts. They'd have lots of competition from ABC and NBC's national newscasts, but some viewers might prefer a local alternative.

I guess there's no PHL17 thread that's still open, so this is the second best place (and it's somewhat relevant to WPVI anyway). I saw PHL17 post on Facebook that they are welcoming a new meteorologist, Sloane Haines. However, Monica Cryan (their current meteorologist) is still there. Granted, Monica could be leaving soon and they just wanted to bring her replacement in early, but I wonder if they could potentially be expanding their newscasts beyond the mornings?

I was right! It's fixed now. Ironically the real temperature is 56 degrees, which is only one off, but it does actually say that now. The degree symbol is gone, but at least the temperature is right. I guess that heat got them to realize it was wrong.

I still don't exactly understand why he was passed over at WPVI so many times? I had thought that he maybe didn't want to move from weekend mornings, but obviously he did considering he moved down the East Coast to be a chief meteorologist. I like Brittany Boyer (she's actually my favorite meteorologist at WPVI currently), but I don't know why Chris didn't get to move to evenings and Brittany to mornings.
