Technically, that "egg" logo has only been used for about 10 years - the "6" is the iconic part, and they can probably incorporate that into the new logo without viewers getting mad. They could go back to their old 6 in a blue box, lol.

Eyewitness News will air on The CW Philly from 4p to 6:30p today, because of golf on 3.

Cecily just said this is the first time her and Tamala have ever been together on Action News. Tamala has been there for about 15 years, Cecily about 25.

Interesting fill-in. I wonder why they didn't have Sarah in tonight too, since she was in on Monday and Tuesday. Still, good to see Tamala, since I am rarely awake to watch the morning show.

Kerri Corrado from WHDH in Boston has joined CBS3 has a reporter.

Yeah, I was a little surprised at that. A lot of the shows air twice as well. More shows are coming in 2022; hopefully they can get a schedule with more variety.

On the page (which you can find here), WBRE 28.3 is listed as the only affiliate in Pennsylvania. The list will probably be updated later on, but I'm surprised WPHL wasn't included. They could put it on 17.3, replacing Court TV, so that it's next to sister channel Antenna TV. The schedule for Rewind TV was also released.

Adam Joseph is back in the studio as of 4p today.

To update: Adam’s children are doing better, however Adam himself has now tested positive. Best wishes to him and his family.

Ducis Rogers is doing a "Sports Minute" segment during the 4:00. A countdown clock above the bug ticks down from 1:00 until the end. It's essentially just a tease for the 5:00 and 6:00 sportscasts, but still, I think this might be the first time the 4:00 has actually had a sports segment (assuming this is permanent). I think 29 does something like this.

I've been seeing promos for an "Action News Update" on 6abc.com and their streaming apps. It airs at 11:30p. I have a few questions, though: Why are they doing this at 11:30p? The Olympics aren't even scheduled to end until midnight. Why are they doing this before the actual 11p is over? Normally they run the close at 11:32 or 11:33. Are they doing this on weekends, too? The Saturday 11p show ends at midnight, and the Sunday ends at 11:45. Did they do this in 2016 too?

That closing story was… something else!

Cecily referred to the radar as "Storm Tracker 6 Double Scan Live" last night. I don't know how to tell the difference between the two radars but I still regularly hear them call it their own radar. The graphic says "Storm Tracker 6 LIVE" too.

She actually mentioned on Saturday (she filled in for Joe Holden this past weekend) during the tornado warning coverage that she grew up in the area. She was a great reporter and anchor, unfortunate to see her go.

No problem! I like they started using the longer cut for the intro and rejoins. Since it’s the summertime, they can probably use that open for all the newscasts 6am until 11pm.

There was a breaking news open today. This is what it looked like:

Graphics just debuted on WCAU during the 11a news.

Both of Adam Joseph's kids tested positive for the Coronavirus. He has been off the air for the past few weeks, presumably because of this. Hopefully they get well soon.

Is Ted Greenberg the new weekend evening anchor? During last night’s tornado warning coverage he was on, and I’ve seen him on the past few weekends. EDIT: Actually, last weekend he was not. Tracy Davidson was.

I know they probably did but I don't ever remember Matt and Tamala anchoring at noon. Rick and Monica would anchor at noon when they did the morning news, but when they switched to nights, I think Rick and Sarah (who were previously not together) became the noon team. If Matt and Tamala did anchor together, it would have to have been between 2004/2005 and 2007.

Interesting fill-in: Bob Brooks is in for Brian Taff at noon (Sarah said Taff will be along "later on"). I wonder why they don't have Matt or Tamala sub at noon? WFMZ and KYW do it (WFMZ's morning newscast is actually longer, running from 5am to 10am whereas 6's runs from 4am to 7am).

That is not correct. She began regularly working weekends in February 2014, which was 7 years ago. 9 years ago was 2012, and Rob Jennings was still doing weekends solo then. She didn't do weekend mornings either (at least not as recently as 9 years ago). She said it on Twitter too, not sure what she is talking about.

I was watching WPVI's livestream and noticed the same thing.

3 has another new reporter: Wakisha Bailey from WPBF in West Palm Beach recently joined the station. Now, three reporters have left, but three more have come. Recently left Greg Argos (February 2021) Dan Koob (June 2021) Kimberly Davis (June 2021) Recently joined Alicia Roberts (December 2020) Jasmine Payoute (June 2021) Wakisha Bailey (July 2021)

Former WPVI assignment editor Eric Hughes passed away last night. He had a pulmonary illness for the past several years. Prayers to his family.
