Why did they change it?

They didn’t dump the noon Sunday show. Im currently watching it.

I was watching FOX-29 a few days ago, and noticed something. Why do most of their meteorologists, except for Sue, stand so close to the camera? On most stations, you can at least see from their stomach up. But on Fox-29, when Scott was on, he was so close, to the point you could only see half of his tie. He was taking up the entire left half of the screen! Tonight I watched FOX-29 again, and Sue was on, but at least I could see down to her stomach.

6abc posted an in depth look at the new studio. Apparently, the anchors desk has the ability to spin around. https://6abc.com/videoClip/15868410/

6abc posted an in depth video about the new set. https://6abc.com/videoClip/15868410/

For some reason on the 11PM today, sports was done before the weather. Wonder why.

They finally changed the bottom menu on the websites. It was still using the old design until today.

We’ve got a new sports anchor! Jason Dumas from KRON 4 San Francisco. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/GyGTA5qhRnCxb2te/?mibextid=WC7FNe

Does he have a Meteorology degree? If so, I wonder if they are testing to see if he could replace Chris.

Anyone else not able to get onto 6abc.com right now? Every time I try, it just keeps reloading until it crashes.

According to News Music Search Archive, WTVD's new theme was not Warner-Chappell, it was by 4 Elements Music.

It’s doesn’t have the same recognition MCTYW does. WLS had numerous themes before News Series 2000 in the 90s, and they were only number 1 in the market for a few newscasts by just a hair against WGN. For WPVI, besides the short lived “Action News” theme, they have used MCTYW since 1973, and there are commercials from 1979 showing that MCTYW was already a favorite in Philly. Thats because WPVI has always been the number 1 station in the market by a long shot.

Yep, and it sounds suspicious. https://www.inquirer.com/entertainment/tv/jessica-kartalija-leaving-cbs3-philadelphia-20240909.html?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_campaign=Philly.com+Facebook+Account&utm_medium=social&int_promo=newsroom&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1725918916

6abc is getting a new set! They are in a temporary one, and Maggie Kent posted this on her Facebook page.

In a surprise move, CBS-2 Chicago has rebranded to CBS News Chicago.

Not new music, but KTRK is cycling through every possible EWN track on this Hurricane Beryl live stream, including multiple I've never heard before. https://abc13.com/post/2024-hurricane-season-tropical-weather-forecast-storms-prediction-texas--gulf-coast/14867156/

Looks like EWN has a 2024 update! WTVD just premiered this new version today.

Since the graphics debut? I haven't heard any new ones. Just the same cuts introduced in 2017.

6ABC finally got rid of the old ticker at the bottom of the screen. But they don't have the new one yet.

Are they switching the animation at the end to what the other channels are using? Aka this...

Two things I have noticed with Action News. 1: There are two different versions of the breaking news and the weather cards. Not sure how they decide when either one are used. 2: They are having serious issues with their bumper music. Throughout all newscasts today, the bumper would play at unusual times, such as in the middle of a report. During the lottery numbers at 11pm, the bumper kept restarting every time they switched to a new states lottery drawing numbers. There were also multiple times where it didn't play when it was supposed to, or it was late.

They were the third station to get the new weather graphics.
