NowBergen 717 Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Okay. He is a meteorologist. First post did not identify that. I assume he will replace Erica on weekend evenings and nights. Clearly this was in motion before she was let go and explains why Maria LaRosa got the TINY job.
B2r4a6n 103 Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 I wonder when they'll announce who's replacing Jummy.

Thank You for pointing that out for me. I rushed it a little too quickly. However, you are correct. I say mid-September for his start.
NowBergen 717 Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 Anyone know what the deal is with Drew Wilder? I’m visiting DC and he is a reporter on WRC as their Northern VA reporter. Is he doing double duty in DC and N.Y.?

No clue but David Culver was WRC’s Northern Virginia reporter, he left for a CNN job. Edit: Looks like Drews their reporter, Edited August 9, 2019 by rkolsen
B2r4a6n 103 Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 Just saw a commercial this morning for The Kelly Clarkson Show and Ellen saying Kelly will air at 3pm and Ellen at 4pm... I guess 4pm newscast is cancelled?

I doubt the 4 pm news is getting canceled.

No idea...and if they get rid of the 4pm newscast, are other o&o's doing the same and will they switch around anchors, etc... I be so many questions now... lol.
rkolsen 1697 Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 I’m betting the house that this was a mistake. It’s a volatile election year and common sense (and history) show that stations ADD newscasts rather than get rid of them during presidential election years. Was it a generic promo (not mentioning New York) from Ellen? Many stations still clear Ellen at 4pm and almost every one that cleared both aired Steve at 3pm. 1
B2r4a6n 103 Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 The promo was generic, then at the end the announcer says something along the lines of "Kelly at 3 before Ellen" and the screen says Kelly: 3pm and Ellen: 4pm with the NBC 4 NY logo in the corner. Wish I got a screen shot of it.
B2r4a6n 103 Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 The only thing I can think of is that maybe they're going to launch a 7pm newscast to replace Extra to make up for axing the 4pm?

I can track it down + post the image since i have youtubetv + both are on record.

If true that leaves two big holes to fill - 2 pm and 7 pm. Previously they said it was replacing Steve Harvey. If the rumors of a 7 pm newscast are true would they do local at 7 or be like WRC and do a full hour of local at 6 and Nightly at 7. They were doing this in the 80s. 1
MorningNews 1544 Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 Are there rumors of news at 7? I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere else but here a few posts up
B2r4a6n 103 Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 Phew! You guys were right...the commercial that aired this morning was a mistake... Just saw another commercial that aired on NBC 4 a few minutes ago that said Kelly at 2pm and Ellen at 3pm.
justin2kx 240 Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 too little too late (had to fix my phone a bit) but here's the mistaken promo talked about. 1

mooneyhill1 12 Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) I say at 7pm weeknights, it will be News 4 New York @ 7PM with Natalie Pasquarella & Stefan Holt, Janice Huff with weather, and Bruce Beck with sports. Which could be a good idea, since Extra Extra will be shown on WNYW Fox 5.. Will it work for News 4 New York @ 7PM? Edited August 11, 2019 by mooneyhill1

Then several years ago they tried NY Nightly News at 7, first with Chuck, which then moved to Cozi with rotating anchors and killed off in 2014. So who knows. With long commute times in the area, a 7 pm local newscast makes sense, but just never seems to stick.
