Looks like Studio M is being used again and there was no redo. Probably the building construction outside 1211 Avenue of the Americas made tv noise too loud. The Studio E set makes no sense and looks tacky. That beam is an inconvenience. FNC used to design amazing sets. At least it’s not as bad as the Fox News Deck.

If Rogan joins CBS News, he needs to get a presidential debate and do it Fear Factor style.
-
48th and 6th - where FNC is. Looks like it’s gonna take a year or two. Should be interesting but I think they are permanently killing off all their street side studio windows.

Passing by Times Square today and the whole studio was gutted and it looks like the ribbon will be gone soon. Nothing left at Lincoln Square also. Front of Fox is also getting a major rehab. Just strange but everything was getting tired and worn-out.

I got fake money it will Margaret Brennan. Then again I’m sure no will touch that chair with a 10 foot pole

Cecily does guest spots on ABC News but I doubt anyone from GMA is leaving. My gut seems says Fox29 since they pick up the alumni from other stations usually. All I know is it seems like WPTV West Palm did Chris dirty and that’s a shame.

I read the article and that’s what it sounds like. I never understood why Nightly News went to 1A but it probably had to do with the pandemic. Studio 1A just looks cold and sterile now but it works for them in the ratings. Hopefully the 3A new look has more life than large video walls and AI but Comcast seems to embrace this trend with NBC News and their O&Os. Probably cheaper?

I’m sure WPVI would hire him back if something opens up but I can’t imagine ABC paying as much as they used to. The Jim Gardner paychecks are over.

He’s not on the WPTV website anymore. Lived in South Florida for a while and WPTV used to be such a powerhouse and had a ton of great veteran journalists and amazing up-and-comers. I believe Stephen Ross bought their news building last year and they have two years to move.

That’s it! Back to Times Square!

The Fox 29 News/Good Day Philadelphia Thread
obxwatcher replied to Jess's topic in Philadelphia News
That studio looks extremely tight and there is always road, building construction outside that building on Market St. I wonder if it’s super insulated. I’ll give them credit still using it after CBS3 and NBC10 stopped using theirs. I saw an old YouTube video when NBC10 would broadcast from Lowes hotel. I wonder if those anchors had to pay the Philly payroll tax -
If Anderson start promoting Ethos during AC360, I’m done with CNN.
-
This whole transition has been a show. My prediction that Tony will be anchoring CNN International at 4am in 2027 still seems like a possibility. If I am Margaret Brennan, Major Garrett or Matt Guttman, I would tell HR I don’t want the job.
-
Always felt NBC News was screwing-over Chris Jansing and this basically feels like another demotion for her.
-
At this pace, in 2027, CBS Mornings will be on CBS, CBSN, Paramount+, CNN and Headline News and the Today show will still be destroying them in the ratings.
