wabceyewitness 818 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Yes, was just going post about the new topicals also debuting... maybe they will eventually update everything else that has the old logo like the rejoins.

24994J 5577 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Yeah, I just watched some of the 6 o'clock news, and that tight 2-anchor shot is not doin' it for me. Quick question, though; when Diana fills in on other newscasts, does she usually sit on the right or left? I've seen her sit in with Bill, and she sits on the right (naturally), but with Rob, she's still in her regular seat. Just wondering...

wabceyewitness 818 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 The few times I've seen her back on at 11pm subbing for either Liz or Sade, she's been in their seats. For yesterday and today's 6pm show, maybe they're just leaving her in place from 5pm to make it easier for all.

mountainave 606 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Yeah, I just watched some of the 6 o'clock news, and that tight 2-anchor shot is not doin' it for me. They used it this morning, too. It's gotta go. Not sure what it looks like in HD, but it looks absolutely ridiculous on a CRT.

24994J 5577 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I wonder if they're considering letterboxing the SD feed, maybe even updating the on-air package.

Like TVNewsLover said, I don't think Bill is going anywhere yet. Anyway though, I like both of your choices but you are messing up the lineup too much. They aren't going to screw with every team, even when Bill leaves... it's not WABC's fashion to do so. There are only 3 true options I see: 1. When Bill leaves, someone (Rob?) will simply replace him at 6 & 11 and that will be it. 2. David takes the 6pm with Liz and (Rob?) takes the 11pm and maybe could continue sports at 6pm or even at 4 or 5pm and Laura could do sports at 11pm. 3. David moves to 6 & 11pm and someone (Rob?) takes over at 4pm. Those are the only 3 options I see, anything else is changing the lineup too much and WABC simply won't do.

24994J 5577 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 No matter what happens, they're not going to touch the 5. Period. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/22/#findComment-101004 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoseRM303 171 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 In the far distant future when Bill retires it would more then likely be something like this: Mornings - same Noon - Same 4 PM - Same 5 PM - Same 6 PM - Liz & Rob 11 PM - Sade & Rob Laura more then likely will takeover Rob, and someone else will do weekend sports. Lots of people have transitioned from say a sports anchor/reporter to a news anchor/reporter etc. Of course as long as Bill is able to he will continue to anchor the 6 & 11 PM news.

Don't really see the appeal of Diana and Sade together. I know it's otherwise popular, I just don't care for it.

IceManNYR 240 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I have to agree the camera framing for the two shot at 6pm made it appear they were framing it for 16:9. Makes me wonder why no NYC station as yet to letterbox their newscast for SD and make use of the full frame? The two shot this morning is not as close.

Geoffrey 861 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Makes me wonder why no NYC station as yet to letterbox their newscast for SD and make use of the full frame? I'm surprised local newscasts have been so slow to do this. ESPN, CNN and Fox News did this years ago. Fox Sports has also been doing this for some time on broadcast TV. It's time for this to be a thing. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/22/#findComment-101219 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryFlick 26 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Gotta say... The weekend newscasts with Michelle, Rob & Amy has become a prototype for what you want on the weekend. Weather, details of the day's events, and a team with crazy chemistry. Been years since I've turned on a newscast and kept it on for 2 hours to catch the banter in between the stories.

Weekend mornings are usually throw away newscasts, but not at WABC. Rob, Michelle, & Amy are great. Its almost as if they've been working together for years. IMO they're just as good the weekend versions of Today or GMA.

nynewslover 277 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I really wish WABC would update their backdrops.. I can't stand the blue shading they use in the afternoons.. Make them sharper and use different images.. Live Shots??

No they don't and I'm the first one to say that. It's just kind of weird how she was off for that long back for a few days and off again. That's why I asked.
