BehindNYNews 147 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 WNBC is now using new graphics ONLY in promo end tags. How did News 4 gets a makeover? https://vimeo.com/119563732 They have been using these graphics since 2012. Nothing new there.

JoseRM303 171 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Â Kerry Barrett, who was an anchor on Good Day on Fox 29 in Philly until this past December is joining WNBC soon...Not sure of her exact position but you can follow her here... https://mobile.twitter.com/Kerry4NY Â I posted something similar in the FOX29 thread. According to her twitter bio it says "Purveyor of morning news WNBC" whatever that means. I'm wondering if she's going to be a morning reporter I know Darlene has no plans of stepping down as anchor of "Today in NY" on the weekdays. Or maybe perhaps she's replacing Contessa on the weekend morning "Today in NY" so Contessa can focus solely on the weeknight 7 pm newscasts (Just a thought of course).

She's the 2nd deflector from WXTF to join the NBC family although Sheinelle went national and Kerry is staying local.

JoseRM303 171 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Looks like Kerry Barrett will be a "Breaking News" anchor for Today in NY:  http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/3/1/changing-channels  Don't know why WNBC felt the need to have her be a "Breaking News" anchor for the morning program why not have her be a street reporter? Or have her replace Contessa on the weekend mornings and give Contessa the 7 pm slot full time on the weekdays?

All the other O&Os that had 7PMs seem to have dropped them.  The "Breaking News Anchor" seems to be like WRC's "LiveDesk" or WCAU's "Sat Center".

Also didn't most of those O&Os drop the 7pm shows a few years ago after (insert state here) Non-stop changed to COZI-TV? Well then that makes sense.

The show just seems like they don't care about it, which is probably true. Also, with regards to people not home for the 6pm and don't want to be up at 11pm, there is also 9pm and 10pm, and DVR.

JoseRM303 171 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Contessa Brewer no longer with WNBC? Was scanning the "About Us" section at nbcnewyork.com and Contessa is no longer listed on the staff bio page. Â http://www.nbcnewyork.com/contact-us/about-us/ Â scanned at least 3 times and don't see her. (Unless they are updating the page) then I am wrong.

Â Well apparently Kerry has been hired as a "breaking news anchor" for the weekday versions of TINY. But as you said I wouldn't be surprised to see Kerry co-anchor the weekend morning newscasts alongside Pat. Wanted to also add Gus was on the weekend morning desk last weekend and both times he never said "I'm Gus Rosendale in for Contessa this morning" It was just "I'm Gus Rosendale" and then onto the first story.

NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Just read this about Contessa Brewer from TV Spy, it appears like she's still with WNBC based on this article, just adding MSNBC to her workload on weekend evenings. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/tbt-wnbc-anchor-talks-on-her-jump-to-msnbc/143038 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11652-wnbc-news-4-new-york/page/10/#findComment-124622 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londoner 3 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Have they ditched the Top of the Rock camera again? Whenever I've watched recently, they've been using the Rockefeller Centre backdrop which, in my opinion, isn't anywhere near as good.
