anchorman 95 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Well, that came out of nowhere. But you're right. With the two new anchors brought in from LA, it became clear she needed to go elsewhere. I think she's excellent and she is definitely Boston's gain.
JoseRM303 171 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 That sucks I really liked Erika and thought she was an excellent anchor at WNBC. Thought she would at least have been permanent on noon and possibly 6 on weekdays until Sibila was brought in (Not that she isn't bad or anything) But after Sibila was brought it to me it seemed like Erika would do her normal weekend gig/weekday reporting deal, and would seldom fill in on the anchor desk during the week. Although for a few days I did notice she was filling in on the weekday versions of Today in NY. Whatever station Erika lands at in Boston I'm sure she will be a great addition.
CLTNewsWatch 4 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 According to Erika's Twitter account, she is joining WCVB.
JoseRM303 171 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Â According to Erika's Twitter account, she is joining WCVB. Â Wow same station former WABC weekend morning anchor Phil Lipof joined just last month. Wonder what shows she'll be anchoring.
anthonyz 26 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Not a fan of this camera angle. It doesn't have a "window" feel like the camera on the roof has. The last time they used a similar camera was during the 2012 elections.
24994J 5619 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I wonder if NBC still has a camera set up behind the vertical monitor that is positioned behind the old, now secondary 'Today' desk position. That would be a good backdrop. Crappy traffic, bad weather, it just screams suckiness.
IceManNYR 240 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 David is still doing the 6pm and 11pm weekend newscasts with no co-anchor.
B2r4a6n 103 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 News 4 NY Olympic/Sweeps promos called "Why Turn- Coverage" for Today in NY, News 4 NY and Storm Team 4. Â Â Â
AA55 40 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 i never understood...this is the team you trust way of going about things. i trust eyewitness news. thx
Geoffrey 872 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Very nice spots. I like the humor and the fast pace. Though I could imagine getting sick of them quickly, especially if you're watching the Olympics all night and you see them multiple times.
BehindNYNews 147 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Â Very nice spots. I like the humor and the fast pace. Though I could imagine getting sick of them quickly, especially if you're watching the Olympics all night and you see them multiple times. Â They already got old... :bang:
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Â They already got old... :bang: Â Not enough variety. They are cute, but not very clever and quite easy to memorize.
BehindNYNews 147 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Â Not enough variety. They are cute, but not very clever and quite easy to memorize. Â They only have one version of each (TINY, News 4 NY and Storm Team 4). They need more versions at least.
anthonyz 26 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Seems pretty creative and upbeat, but more versions are needed. I am shocked there is no one version with just chopper 4 and nothing else.
nynewslover 277 Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 I like the teams they had today... Contessa and Gus in the morning and David and Pat the night.. I hope they keep it this way... Pat also anchored the 5pm with Tom last night
nynewsjunkie 13 Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Pat is a great anchor. She comes across as such a down to Earth person and is a real joy to watch. No matter who she is anchoring with you can tell that they are having a good time. I am glad that they utilize her talents.
wabceyewitness 825 Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 I actually enjoyed News 4 at 6pm yesterday. I've always liked Pat and her and David made a great team. I wonder why Pat was never tapped for a weekday spot.. She certainly had this non-NBC4 viewer tuned in and watching instead of my usual Ch. 7 newscasts.
nycnews4 12 Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Pat was great last night. She had great chemistry with David and is a true professional reporter. I hope they make this permanent or promote her to a weekday spot. I'd much rather see Pat on the weekday newscast than Shiba Russell as Pat is a better anchor, has been in the New York Market for years, and is loved by the viewers.
JoseRM303 171 Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Â Pat was great last night. She had great chemistry with David and is a true professional reporter.

I'd much rather see Pat on the weekday newscast than Shiba Russell as Pat is a better anchor, has been in the New York Market for years, and is loved by the viewers. Â Apparently WNBC doesn't agree with you since Pat is only used as a fill-in on the weekday newscasts and Shiba was promoted to the weekday anchor position less then what 6 months after being hired on as a weekend anchor. Sibila was also hired on right away as a weekday anchor not a weekend anchor. Pat has been with the station for how long? And she's still being passed over for a weekday spot...but then again you gotta realize she's a NJ reporter so perhaps they want her to remain a weekday reporter to cover NJ stories and have her continue her role as weekend anchor albeit perhaps on the evening newscasts.
anchorman 95 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Pat said that this is temporary just for the Olympics and that she'll be back on Weekend Today in NY in two weeks.
nynewsjunkie 13 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 At least with Pat on at night it gets Gus back on the morning. Contessa is at least bearable when Gus is with her. Gus and Pat made for a great team for weekend mornings while Contessa was on maternity leave. I was hoping that she stayed home, but that didn't happen. I appreciate the goofiness that Gus exudes because you can tell it's sincere and he cares about his job. I think as he gains more seniority and experience through the years he could go places. Maybe they should try Contessa with David. I watch weekend TINY every weekend and would much rather Gus and Pat. I think Pat would be perfect for a weekday spot, but what she has now is a great gig. She doesn't have the daily commitment of being behind the desk, and as all true reporters say that they want to be in the field telling the stories, she can do that. I would think she makes a comfortable living as well, so why mess a good thing up if she didn't work out as planned on weekdays. She has been on Weekend TINY for a long time, probably over 10 years. That's a good run to uphold!

That's a good run to uphold! Â I must be in the minority because I actually like Contessa and I think that Gus should be utilized more and have a permanent anchor spot instead of just filling in. Carol Jenkins did weekends on Channel 4 for 20 years and then got promoted to weekday anchor so it is possible for Pat to get a weekday spot but I think that Pat enjoys working on weekends and is satisfied with her current role as a reporter.

Exactly, I believe Pat prefers reporting during the week and anchoring on the weekends (In my opinion its the perfect gig) ...I do think that while Pat is great anywhere she goes she should be on the mornings with Gus and Contessa should anchor evenings with David.
danielk 0 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 What is the cut of music News 4 NY are using instead of the normal LA Groove open for TINY and N4NY at 11am?
anthonyz 26 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Oops! WNBC 4.2 was showing WRC-TV local promos earlier today.
