And he was on the national tree lighting telecast. Good to see him going out big.

No surprise here. Its Ushery at 6:00.

Chuck's last newscast was good, and he had a poignant commentary at the end. Especially loved his speech from his 50th anniversary dinner in which he challenged his coworkers to absorb the gravity of where they work. 

 

There was a distinct lack of Sue Simmons in tonight's newscast. I was hoping for a pre-taped tribute, or an in-person appearance like she did for Gabe Pressman's death. At least we got a full conversation between the pair during his 50th Anniversary Special.

But will Chuck Scarborough be a special correspondent/senior reporter and special projects for WNBC-TV?

NBC is in the process of building a new newsroom that covers both stations, similar to their duopoly in DC (WRC& WZDC), which is why WNJU hasn't moved out yet.

I know we're on a special schedule due to the holiday, but Gilma Avalos had a very long day today. She presented the news at 11am, 4pm, 5pm and 6pm.

[FMM725 7]

And now the new WNJU studio is delayed till April.

That explains why MSNBC has been using that new studio.

And thus why Gilma's been filling in today at WNBC... because Natalie's been filling in for Frances at NBC.

Obviously not the first time NBC has used talent from their key station on a national level

[Newsjunker95 32]

It happened with Shiba Russell in 2016. Natalie returned for 11:00pm tonight

[GraphicsMan 126]

This happens a lot one of the perks of working in New York local news station you can appear on national news. And if you’re really lucky you can land a spot like Al Roker and Matt  Lauer did.

Not so new anymore since MSNBC has been using it.

There is a long history of WNBC news talent showing up on the network - Chuck Scarborough used to do national prime time updates during a commercial break.  Chris Cimino did weekend Today weather.  Al Roker.  Matt Lauer was doing both TINY and Today at first.  WNBC investigative reporter Jonathan Dienst shows up often on the network and for now, MSNBC. It's not what I would call an exception for NBC.  

 

Interesting Natalie was off at 4 and 6 but was on the 11 pm news.
