nynewslover 280 Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 For the past few weeks I've seen Kirsten Cole on PIX News at 10.. Tonite I saw Magee Hickey doing the lead story.. Are they both with PIX now? Or what's up with that?
abric 181 Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Well Magee Hickey's contract wasn't renewed at WCBS. It expired this month. So she is probably doing freelance. Kristin Cole is officially with WPIX.
njlady 1 Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 I thought that was Magee Hickey - I recognized her voice! And John Marshall did the weather last night too!
njlady 1 Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Here is an article about Magee Hickey http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2011/07/26/2011-07-26_broadcast_veteran_magee_hickey_making_news_again_with_move_to_wpixch11_after_bri.html
tvknowledge 5 Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Nice to see Kirsten doing real news again rather than the fluff crap they eventually gave her at cbs2. She looks good and energetic. Magee as well.
njlady 1 Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Craig Allen is now the weekend weatherman. I always thought he did a good job
IceManNYR 240 Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Diana Rocco who had been freelancing at FOX5 was reporting for WCBS on the 12pm newscast. Speaking of WCBS and WPIX, I thought it was ironic on an episode of "The Good Wife" from last season one of the characters was doing a local news interview with Erica Hill meant to be from WCBS and they were using the WPIX studio.
tvknowledge 5 Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Lisa Mateo and Jim Watkins actually used their last segment on Saturday' 10 to announce the changes. Watkins officially welcomed Craig Allen to the team that night and last night. Linda Church and Mr G also worked for Bill Carey when he was news director at WCBS in the 90's so he appears to be assembling a very familiar weather team for him. A bit OT but also this past weekend, there was a very attractive but very young woman doing sports for WCBS. She could not have been more than 20 and not to be cruel, but sounded it too. I'm surprised they would put someone on so green to NYC TV.
nynewslover 280 Posted September 27, 2011 Author Posted September 27, 2011 Lisa Mateo said it's only for a few weeks and will be back on the weekends in a few weeks.. I guess they need help in the mornings since Jill Nicolini left.. My question is how come Wends-Friday Linda Church is from 6-9.. Why were her hours cut? Was it her choice or is she the next one out?
Geoffrey 873 Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 My question is how come Wends-Friday Linda Church is from 6-9.. Why were her hours cut? Was it her choice or is she the next one out? Maybe it's a sign Linda Church is moving to weekends.
tvknowledge 5 Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 LOL Geoffrey, that thread and rumor was started in May 2007. You think its finally going to happen? I guess anything is possible over there but I hear Linda loves her new shortened shift
IceManNYR 240 Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Dan Mannarino from FiOS1 News was reporting on WPIX tonight.
