former HLN morning meteorologist Bob VanDillen starts Mon July 10th on FOX Weather. No word what shows he will host, but I anticipate changes coming to the daytime lineup. Perhaps he gets the mid-day slot along side Kendall? https://press.foxnews.com/2023/07/fox-weather-signs-meteorologist-bob-van-dillen

Jane and Kiyana have indeed swapped shifts. Not sure what other changes have been confirmed… does Brigit have a permanent role on Ian’s show? Is Stephen confirmed as a permanent addition to Weather Command?? I hate using the term ‘permanent’ b/c nothing in tv is. But fox weather changes things up rather frequently. Jason and Britta are the only pairing that has not changed. Melissa has been a consistent on evenings, just different co-host. Same with Craig on weekend mornings…

The lower thirds used on WVITs 7pm newscast are terrible. What do the other O&O’s do for the 7pm? Not sure why they don’t use the same as the rest of the newscasts

I’m not a big fan of Amy appearing as co-host on an opinion show… now that said - I’ve never watched her on there so I’m not sure what role she is playing…. perhaps she was scheduled to be off Mon-Thurs and is picking up weekend shifts to offset her PTO…with summer and her having school ages kids, this may be better for her family. Keeping in mind this is the first summer since she transitioned to a Mon-Fri schedule.

Is Kelly Costa in the building from 10pm-5am in the event of breaking coverage? Or is she just there to tape her 1/2 hour show and then it’s on repeat, but if break-ins are required it’s someone else??

I hope this schedule change works out for both Stephen Morgan and Ian Oliver. Stephen’s husband often fills in on mornings at NBC News Now - so atleast this aligns their schedules a bit. Ian and Brigit were a great pair in the past, hopefully she joins him in the 3-6 slot Stephen and Amy are good together as well. so is the 12-3 slot just a rotation of the weekend meteorologists? Also, are Steve and Marissa now 6-9pm? it’s interesting Kiyana’s bio page is missing as she is clearly still there. Maybe they meant to remove someone else?

Kelly’s new show has a new producer/director

The constant schedule changes must be frustrating for producers and talent, let alone viewers…. I understand and fully support time off, however I don’t understand why they change length of shows, swap titles around, etc… just have fill-ins and keep the rest the same! Honestly, not sure why the need for different show names after ‘Weather Command’…. It’s not like the shows are designed around the hosts. Just name the live weather blocks all “FOX Weather LIVE”… or, what about an afternoon version of Weather Command with Ian as the moderator alongside Bridget followed by an evening edition.. 8am-12pm - Weather Command w/Amy , Stephen and rotating panelists (weekend primaries) 12-4pm -Weather Command w/Ian Brigit and rotating panelists (weekend primaries) 4-8pm - Weather Command w/ Marissa, Steve & Kendall Smith as panelist 8pm-10pm - FOX Weather w/ Kelly Costa and Kendall

Does anyone know if Stephen Morgan is just filling in on Weather Command or if he’s a permanent replacement for Ian. I know Ian’s on vacation, but on Monday Stephen and Amy posted ‘officially official welcome’ for Stephen on the show…. Maybe just because it was his first time on the show?

11pm is a ‘bigger’ show, more prestigious time slot…

Exposure…. Showing they have a local connection?

Is Shirley still anchoring the 10pm. Have not seen anything on social media or otherwise on this…

The TV page on CNN.com needs to be updated. Not only does it still have links to old shows like New Day, Right Now, NewsRoom, At This Hour and Don Lemon Tonight, there’s still no page for CNN This Morning and it has Ana Cabrera still referenced as an anchor!

I don’t really understand why they have meteorologists staffed in Orlando…. It’s awkward when they fill-in…

I always liked Ian and Brigit together. Was Stephen Morgan off yesterday or was he paired with someone else?

Just odd that the personalities made no mention of it…

Today the 9am hour is branded “FOX Weather First” and co-hosted by Brigit Mahoney and Kendall Smith…. I wonder if Amy’s show was deemed too political? She was appearing as co-host on Outnumbered on FNC… mixing weather with politics doesn’t work! Ian and Brigit were great together as co-hosts - bring them together again for the 9-12 block’

One thing regarding anchors... To an NBC News Viewer - they should all be recognizable. Vicky Nguyen is on the Today Show as the consumer correspondent. Morgan Radford is a veteran correspondent and occasional guest co-host on weekend-today. Aaron Gilchrist is the newest to the NBC family, while Kate Snow is another veteran who anchored on MSNBC daily in the past and now is on Weekend Nightly News. While i have not see Aaron and Kate together, i will say that I don't think Vicky and Morgan have any chemistry. It would almost be better if they moved Philip Mena off Early today and paired him with Morgan or even made Steven Romo an anchor and paired him with one of them. Vicky and Morgan are great, but just not a good pair. Another idea would be to pair Morgan with Jose Diaz Balart. The issue there would be location as Jose is based in Miami. Then MSNBC can re-align its daytime line-up and perhaps include Vicky Nguyen there? Or Swap Vicky with Morgan and have Morgan anchor an hour of MSNBC Reports...

Looks like she’s a ‘NewsBreak’ anchor on MSNBC and probably NBC NewsNow as well… atleast she’s done overnight news updates on MS…. Is Milissa Rehberger still around?? She did these forever

Kate Snow has been named co-anchor with Aaron Gilchrist of the afternoon news block on NBCNewsNow

NBC Connecticut (WVIT) has named a new 5:30pm co-anchor, replacing Kerri-Lee Mayland. Kerri-Lee took medical leave in early 2020, and announced in late 2021 that she would not be returning full-time to the anchor desk. She now fills-in on occasion. During Kerri-Lee's absence, Leslie Mayes served as her primary fill-in on the 4 and 5:30pm newscast, while Kevin Nathan took over as solo anchor of the 11am newscast. In late 2021 Shannon Miller began co-anchoring at 4 and 5:30 with Kevin Nathan Mon-Wed (as well as her Sat/Sun evening anchoring duties) while Leslie co-anchored on Thurs/Fri and reported Mon-Wed. In April 2022 - Amber Diaz joined NBC-CT from WTNH. Amber will serve as co-anchor of the 5:30pm newscast along side Kevin Nathan. NBC CT has yet to announce a permanent 4pm co-anchor, 7pm anchor (replacing Dan Corcoran who departed several months ago) or weekend morning anchor.

is this continuing?

Once Morning Joe @ 9am begins, it would be nice to see Chris Jansing shift to the 11am hour on a 'permanent' basis.

When Dylan returns from maternity I suspect she will cut back on her 6 day workweek and exit Saturday Today… given that show is based in DC now they should do what had been done in the past with the weekend news desk role(where various NBC/CNBC/MSNBC anchors filled in) and rotate local DC area meteorologists.
