I know a lot of people don't like it, but This is The Place would fit those graphics well, in my opinion.

No.

Brian and Sarah are sitting at opposite sides of the desk this afternoon, how they did last year.

Sorry, this article is paywalled; I can't access it either. However, it says that CBS3 and the CW57's general manager Brandin Stewart is leaving after being with the station since 2019. The station and its newscast definitely improved under his leadership, and I hope it continues after he departs.

I wonder if they're going with co-anchors on weekend mornings to replace Stephania Jimenez. Frances Wang and Johnny Archer were both hired as anchors; Wang specifically as a weekend anchor.

He is on tonight, in for Lauren Casey.

Glad to see her back. During the time she was gone they had Jim and Janelle reading the traffic reports.

Action News has a new reporter, Bryanna Gallagher. Rick just welcomed her during the 4p show. She comes to 6abc from WPMT, Fox 43 in Harrisburg.

According to this article, Fox 29 is removing The Dr. Oz Show from the schedule. I think this could be a potential new schedule: 12p - Nick Cannon 1p - 25 Words or Less (x2) 2p - TMZ Live 3p - Judge Judy (x4) They could also do this but only air Judge Judy for an hour at 3p and debut a 4p newscast. But this is probably the easier way.

Are you trying to imply that MCTYW is weird? You're on thin ice... xD

I like that. Would make a good transition for teases.

A couple hours ago Kate Bilo posted on her Instagram story that she tested positive two weeks ago.

Kate Bilo is also doing the forecast from her house. I wonder if someone there got Covid.

Lauren Casey did the weather from her house last night, and, today, Jim is in the studio while Janelle is in the newsroom.

Those L3's remind me of the WPHL graphics, which I absolutely hate. The rest isn't bad.

There was a "10 at 10" bug during last night's broadcast. So for only the debut edition did it still say "10:00 News".

Wow, I like that a lot. Much better than the "old" open.

Rick Williams for sure. Probably paired with Sharrie as well.

Discussion should go in the thread made for this, but I thought it should be posted here too: Jim Gardner is retiring from WPVI at the end of 2022.

Will we see Move Closer To Your World on all the O&O's now? ;D Seriously, though, I am curious as to how (not if... hopefully this message won't eventually be ironic) WPVI will use MCTYW with this graphics.

TVNewsCheck says he will anchor the 4p news with Natasha Brown. His first day is November 15.

Yeah, Jess did a preview of the 5p show sometime around 4:35p.

Watching the 4p and Natasha is anchoring solo. She got the trivia question right and mentioned it was her second one in a row; they only do one per day so she has to have been talking about yesterday. However, Ukee and Jess were on when I watched last night at 10p. Maybe she's anchoring solo until Lewis joins her on the show? ETA: Jessica's Twitter bio says "Up late on @CBSPhilly 5/6/10 & 11PM". Don't know if she hasn't updated it since Natasha and Alex left the 4p show or if I'm right and Lewis/Brown is the new anchor pairing at 4.

They do the 4 too. I definitely agree with you - right now, there are only two anchor teams the entire day.

Interesting. Anchoring at 4p with Natasha was my first thought, but something else he could do is anchor the noon. I don't know if he would do it solo, with Natasha, or another reporter (maybe Kerri Corrado), but it would be a good start and it would relieve Jim and Janelle of having to work so long.
