nynewslover 279 Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 I can't believe the extensive coverage the stations are providing.. Its great! When was the last time they were all on for this long amount time? They have had non stop coverage since 6 or 7 this morning!
IceManNYR 240 Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 My9 is doing their own coverage. Earlier they had been simulcasting FOX5 for special reports. When did they update the studio? I am noticing a NYC photo behind Harry Martin.
ED2 144 Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Watching WPIX on cable here in Canada... their graphics are nice. It's very clean. Also nice to see Jim Watkins QB PIX's coverage.
rah6448 21 Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 WABC's feed is experiencing technical difficulties...and the ESPN 1050 feed seems to be the only one working at present. After a few minutes, ESPN 1050 still is your option fro streams from ABC 7...both the main and the alternate are showing the "We'll be right back" screen, and an "If you see something, say something" ad.
RGSJenkins 435 Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 As of 5:45pm, The FedEx Cup PGA golf on CBS is airing on WLNY, the Spainsh news stations are on. My9 is doing their own coverage. Earlier they had been simulcasting FOX5 for special reports. When did they update the studio? I am noticing a NYC photo behind Harry Martin. Around the same time WYNW changed their night skyline.
IceManNYR 240 Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Chuck and Sue are on WNBC. Mr. G is back from vacation on WPIX. John Marshall has been subbing for him.
RGSJenkins 435 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 WLNY is airing preseason football for WCBS.
IceManNYR 240 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 After a few minutes, ESPN 1050 still is your option fro streams from ABC 7...both the main and the alternate are showing the "We'll be right back" screen, and an "If you see something, say something" ad. The "We'll Be Right Back" and the MTA PSA are being shown during TV commercial breaks.
24994J 5625 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 According WABC, Bill, Sade, and Lee will exit coverage at midnight (edt) and Joe Torres, Sandra Bookman and Amy Freeze will take over. Seeing as Bill has been on for 10+ hours, I'm going to guess that Joe and Sandra will be at the helm until Ken and Lori (are expected to) take over at 5am.
IceManNYR 240 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Linda has taken over for Mr. G. and Lisa Mateo in the lower east side reporting on WPIX. Chris Wragge is reporting from Mobile 2 from Spring Lake, NJ. David and Erika have taken over on WNBC and they are being simulcast on 710 WOR.
rls1400 0 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Very impressed with the coverage on ABC so far. And Lee Goldberg definitely deserved a break... and Amy isn't half bad! :awesome:

Seeing as Bill has been on for 10+ hours, I'm going to guess that Joe and Sandra will be at the helm until Ken and Lori (are expected to) take over at 5am. It started with Phil and Michelle at 6a. Then Bill and Liz I think. Then Joe and Sandra took over at 4pm. Then David and Liz took over. Followed by Bill & Sade. Now it's back to Joe and Sandra as of 12am-2am. Hope I didn't miss anyone!
wabceyewitness 826 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Diana and Sade anchored from 10am until Bill and Liz came on. Diana spent the evening hours in RoadCam7. On another note, I believe this is the first time since 9/11 that every local station has had live coverage overnight of a breaking news event.
IceManNYR 240 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Don and Cindy are anchoring on WCBS. Craig and Tamsen are anchoring on WPIX from the studio. Steve Lacy is anchoring on FOX5 being simulcast on My9. Shannon Sohn was on WABC 12am-4am. She is back at 2pm. Ken and Lauren were on with Bill and Joe for WABC at 4am then Bill and Liz came on at 6am.
kshow 167 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Does anyone know what station was first in the country to do the Mobile2/RoadCam7 Technology or was CBS 2 first to use it for reporting?
24994J 5625 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Bill and Liz are out now, and Diana and Sade are taking over (10:36 EDT).
24994J 5625 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Brian Williams is on at WNBC. I just saw it on CNBC...have they run out of staff? BTW, Ken and Lauren are back on WABC.
wabceyewitness 826 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Weird that Lori has been missing from the coverage. On Friday morning, she posted on her Facebook that she would be on Sunday (this morning) from 5AM - 9AM, but BIll and Liz were on instead. Perhaps the storm damaged her house or she had some other personal issue? She was also absent from Friday's noon newscast.
