I guess Joe Torres no longer needs his glasses? Starting with the March 7th weekend newscast, he's been without them. Going to take a while to get accustomed to it.

So have they settled on who co-anchors the weekend mornings with Michelle yet? They've been switching between Toni Yates and Chanteé Lans.

Anyone else getting a echo with the 11pm newscast?

I can't be the only one who thinks the new group photo they've been using during broadcasts is nice, but the dress colors for Shirleen and Brittany are too light? Compare to the current image used on the newscast page:

He's retiring?

Dani was definitely happy to have him back in the morning. He also did the night newscasts as well. That's a rough stretch.

That does sound like leaving wasn't something she wanted to do. I see a lot of her co-workers have left comments wishing her well and sad over her departure.

It's great, however I wish it was possible to select a date to view the day's newscasts, as it takes quite a long time to constantly hit the "show more" button and scroll down to find newscasts from earlier in the month or those that are even older.

I guess? Not sure. Perry Russom filling in for Pedro in the morning both on Friday with Shirleen and this morning with Michelle. Both gave him a warm welcome. https://abc7ny.com/videoClip/17065623/ https://abc7ny.com/videoClip/17083560/ Quite a lot of fun banter between Perry, Michelle and Dani on all three hours of the Saturday newscast. Ike Ejiochi was back in for Pedro on Thursday: https://abc7ny.com/videoClip/17048415/

Was looking through the team page again, no changes since Yu's sudden removal (and she still has ABC7NY on her Instagram?), however I realized that they've never added Lindsay Tuchman for some unknown reason.

Rolled out the new talent intro with Pedro. I always wondered why they never did one with Mike (or really the whole morning crew) even many months before his switch. https://abc7ny.com/videoClip/17031465/ Ironically the day they do it, he's not in and Michelle is filling in.

Agreed. I loved Ryan's joking "what time is it? Am I on the right show?" Though too bad they replaced the sports as usual, missed whatever he was going to say as it got cut off. https://abc7ny.com/videoClip/17011185/

Nice to see Mike Marza and Brittney Bell back together for tonight's 5pm and 11pm newscasts. https://abc7ny.com/videoClip/16958292/ https://abc7ny.com/videoClip/16962138/

Yeah, it was very surprising. Her Instagram and LinkedIn still say she works for ABC7NY, so it must've happened within the past few days.

Saw him added into the group photo for the mornings on the 11pm news. I wonder who will be the permanent co-anchor for Weekends. Toni Yates appears to have a great rapport with Michelle. Also I just looked at the team page to see if they added Jaysha Patel yet, and was shocked to see Janice Yu is no longer there.

Did anyone catch the end of tonight's 11pm news? The very tail end was unfortunately cut off of the recorded stream on the site, and I was wondering if Sade said anything to Mike about his first day on at 5pm. https://abc7ny.com/videoClip/16650619/

Yep they also updated the Mornings @ 10, removing everyone. I guess they couldn't just edit Mike out since unlike most of the images it wasn't put together and they had everyone actually in the photo at once. The 5pm was also changed. It is interesting that Pedro wasn't added to the Morning thumbnails. It's funny though, while nobody is going to view them full-resolution, Lee and Sade (and Ryan) are rather blurry compared to the newer photo for Mike.

Knew it was coming and I understand his reasoning, but I'll miss Bill and Sade working together. As of tonight, they've also updated the 11pm thumbnail with Mike:

Something I've been wondering, are they not allowed to show sports on the recorded streams? I found it odd that they replaced the coverage of the Knicks' loss at the start of the 11pm newscast with the usual sports scores. Granted every now and then full sports coverage slips in, usually the 6pm news if any, but generally speaking it's almost always replaced.

First time I think it's happened, Ike Ejiochi sat in at the anchor desk this past Sunday, filling in for Pedro. https://abc7ny.com/videoClip/16319545/

Ok, 14 minutes and 3 seconds of sports scores. I didn't go through the entire video to see if it changed after reaching 10 minutes. Still it shouldn't be that way.

Not sure what happened, but the 11pm newscast for April 8th is entirely the sports scores that they insert for streaming after broadcast. https://abc7ny.com/videoClip/16147210/ Does anyone here work at WABC7, and if so can this be fixed? I like to re-watch if I miss something, and Mike's excitement before Sports, where he seemed to throw his pen(?) was fun to watch the other night.

Looks like Sade will be off for a bit. At the end of the 11pm news, she said she "won't be seeing you for a while" and Bill replied "you've got some knee surgery coming up". Hope she has a quick recovery.

Weird that she wasn't on at 11pm on the 15th and off for the entirety of the 16th. Though she wasn't on the 17th at 5pm she was at 11pm. First time I think since November Bill and Sade have been on together. Bill seemed very happy to have her back in the closing seconds of the 11pm broadcast. Liz also has been a bit sporadic with appearances as well. WABC7NY_11PM-1-17-2024.mp4

Maybe I'm too used to the old graphics but I'm not keen on this. I preferred the graphics cutting away with the city skyline at different times of the day. Not keen on the more upbeat music either.
