Also I see that WNBC is taking some notes from WRC with the Breaking News desk. Kerry Barrett had that role but mysteriously disappeared. Still don't know what happen to her. At least she's doing well in her venture. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11652-wnbc-news-4-new-york/page/32/#findComment-234266 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceManNYR 238 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) WNBC has done some updates to the studio. They added a silver frame around the large video screen. The higher floor for the area to the left of the news desk has been removed and they added sliver molding to the bottom of the walls. The desk next to the left of the video wall was not there today.

NBC just explained his absence. Ushery was inducted in the Silver Circle of NY Broadcasters today, why he was off at noon, as was many of the regular staff. Congratulations David.

SnellKrell 52 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Received this site's notification that Michael Gargiulo and Matt Brickman were doing the 11 this morning. Gargiulo has always been a big favorite of mine. Have really become a fan of Matt Brickman! The best hire that WNBC has made in all too long of a time. He really should be doing Today in New York with Michael Gargiulo and Darlene Rodriguez. He has an easy going, big personality and would fit in so much better than Maria LaRosa. She's nice, she's competent and nothing more. Welcome Matt Brickman, you're a welcome addition to Channel 4!

He's a true professional in this business and in the tri-state area. To make the jump from one good station to the next in the same market is no easy fate and to work with the greats like Gabe Pressman, Chuck Scarborough and others that's a honor well deserved.

LinCruzChicagoNYLA 17 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) Channel 4 has not doing this year's Holiday Sing Along for the first time in 5 years. the most recent cancellation of the Holiday Sing Along promo taping was in 2014, due to bad weather caused by snow. Instead, the station has recycled last year's promo featuring "Deck the Halls", which will be the last NBC4 Holiday Sing Along promo for this decade, but with some alternations including the removal of "The Grinch" animated character, and the removal of Jummy Olabanji, Wale Aliyu and even Chris Cimino, all of which was been released by the station throughout this year, but also added with the Christmas Card-Inspired opening/closing animation for the first time since 2017. newcomers Kay Angrum, Maria LaRosa, Gilma Avalos, Anajali Hemphill, Myles Miller, and Matt Brickman did not included in this year's promo for some reasons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wXfjtX4dYs Edited December 13, 2019 by LinCruzNYC2014 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11652-wnbc-news-4-new-york/page/32/#findComment-237177 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnellKrell 52 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Speaking of Jersey City, on last night's 11, Stefan Holt called the kosher deli a "Bodega"! Huh? Who writes this stuff? Where was the producer? Doesn't Holt read his copy before going on air? And, the station's Saturday "No Tie" policy took a strange turn yesterday. On the 6, the in studio on camera men wore ties. On the 11, back to the tasteless idiocy of no ties. It's difficult to take an anchor seriously when he's talking about murder and mayhem and he looks as if he's doing the 5 a.m. Farm Report in Iowa! Just awful! This is the New York City market and the flagship station of the NBC Television Network. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11652-wnbc-news-4-new-york/page/32/#findComment-237259 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the employees don’t even look happy to be there... and how did not one person notice Dave Price being confused by the lyrics?? 52 minutes ago, MorningNews said: Please explain the issue with kosher deli vs Bodega to a non-native NYer. A kosher deli is a deli where you get specialty sandwiches and food from. A bodega is like a small mini-market where you get chips, soda, lotto tickets, cigarettes, cat food, milk, eggs, and change for a $20. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11652-wnbc-news-4-new-york/page/32/#findComment-237276 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnellKrell 52 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 More importantly, and what makes Stefan Holt's comment even more inept - A kosher deli has a Jewish/Eastern European heritage and a bodega is connected to the Latino community.
