IceManNYR 240 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 I can't believe it! WPIX is acutally using a real news studio for the 5pm newscast. We can only hope they do the same at 10pm but I doubt it.
IceManNYR 240 Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 They are still using the newsroom at 10pm. :angry:
NYNews 54 Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 A story done by Kaity Tong about Herman Cain's sexual harassment allegation, shows Kaity in the new studio.
IceManNYR 240 Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Have they stopped her reporting from a restaurant window segments?
NYNews 54 Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Actually I never saw Kaity report on the weekdays since her return to the anchor role for the weekends. This was the first I saw her doing a weekday report. I'm assuming they had to have paid the restaurant to use their space for the live reports, I guess they thought they can save money if they actually put a new studio to good use. I actually think that if the station had money and the space, they would build a street level studio (more Today show, not WABC like), since they kept the the backdrop of the view of PIX Plaza on their morning and evening newscasts, they obviously like the view.
Vlad 333 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Does anyone have any screen shots that show the new set besides the one that is under construction, and on Facebook.

nynewslover 280 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Posted November 14, 2011 Here is a report on new traffic guy Nathan Kamp.. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/television/on-air-tryout-model-nathan-kamp-a-disservice-wpix-ch-11-viewers-article-1.976327?localLinksEnabled=false
IceManNYR 240 Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 I've noticed the 8am hour has gone back to being less serious news having more in studio interviews, some of them on lifestyle, fashion and celebrity interviews.
tvknowledge 5 Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Here is a report on new traffic guy Nathan Kamp.. http://www.nydailyne...ksEnabled=false I notice he hasn't been on the whole week. Maybe it really was only a try out though that is a strange thing to do in the number 1 market.
knightofni 2 Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 I just saw this Nathan Kemp guy for the first time. In fact it's the first time I've seen 11's morning show in months. The dude just makes a mockey of tv news, but then again he's being put into that situation, and I would stumble and act like a fool on camera at 4 AM too. It's gotta be at least a tryout. So tryouts aren't market 1 things to do? This is PIX we're talking about. How many different reporters have you seen on air for any show on WPIX in the last 12-18 months? How many of those you bet aren't there anymore? Place is in shambles. Turn off the lights, shut down operations and go home while you still have what little dignity you have left.
IceManNYR 240 Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Kaity is using the studio for the 6pm newscast. That leaves just the 10pm newscasts using the newsroom.
IceManNYR 240 Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Kerry Drew did the weather forecast at 6pm and 10pm. I guess Craig was off and John Marshall is no longer freelancing for WPIX?
tvknowledge 5 Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Kerry, like Lisa, seems to be a good all around utility person and did a nice job. Craig was back last night; his facebook page mentions it was his son's birthday. Speaking of facebook, John Marshall has started his own weather page and does not mention any affiliation anymore with 11. The page directs you to his own new weather forecasting site. So it would seem he is not freelancing for them any more. Also of note is Linda looks real good for someone who was so sick. Ad I haven't seen Nathan doing traffic in over a week. Linda and Lisa handle both which is much better.
IceManNYR 240 Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Fishbowl NY reports Narmeen Choudhury has been hired as a general assignment reporter.. She last worked for FOX 61 in CT. Kirstin Cole was promoted to Full Time reporter. http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/wpix-hires-reporter-narmeen-choudhury-kirstin-cole-gets-full-time_b48738
nynewslover 280 Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 FishbowlNY is reporting that Peter Thorne is out a WPIX.. His official last day is December 31st but as we all know he hasn't been on in months.
NYNews 54 Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 I guess Nathan Kamp is out, as Lisa Mateo introduced former WNYW/WWOR's Steve Villanueva to do traffic this morning.
