nynewslover 280 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Just wondering.. Bill Ritter was in today.. Will they have a rotating fill in or will Bill do the 5,6,11 till Diana comes back?
TVNewsLover 787 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Just wondering.. Bill Ritter was in today.. Will they have a rotating fill in or will Bill do the 5,6,11 till Diana comes back? My guess is a rotation between Bill & David, with a Sandra Bookman, Lori Stokes, and Joe Torres thrown in here and there. Interestingly, Liz Cho was in for Lori at noon today (I believe Michelle filled in during the morning).

Interestingly, Liz Cho was in for Lori at noon today (I believe Michelle filled in during the morning). Sandra doesn't fill in at 5pm very often. I think Bill, David, Lori, Rob Powers, Rob Nelson and Joe Torres will all be filling in. Lori used to be the primary fill in for both Sade and Diana at 5pm and many times 4pm but I haven't seen her anchor either recently. Similarly, David used to fill in at 11pm but that doesn't happen much anymore either.

I've noticed lately they've been using evening anchors for the noon instead of whoever filled in on the morning

I've noticed lately they've been using evening anchors for the noon instead of whoever filled in on the morning That probably has to do with the expanded Noon show. 3.5 hours is a lot for a fill in.
brianpr3 178 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Since Diana Williams is out, Bill Ritter is filling in on her interview show "upclose" interviewing the city comptroller https://twitter.com/scottmstringer/status/584078667866832896
mountainave 606 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Has anyone heard or seen any recently developments regarding newsroom construction? I think it was supposed to be done around now give or take a month. The recent pics I've seen show all of the newsroom staff still cramped together at those makeshift desks.

I think it will be ready in May.
nynewsguy 66 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 In May, there will be further changes besides just a new newsroom. Look for new graphics and updated EWN package designed specific for WABC. New cuts will start to appear in idents and whatnot before the debut.
ToriElectra 292 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Really? How do you know this? Do you work there? Or do you have a friend there?

Look for new graphics and updated EWN package designed specific for WABC. New cuts will start to appear in idents and whatnot before the debut. New graphics would be nice. The 16-year old music is still perfect for EWN and NYC - doubt it will change much. You also said back in 2013 there would be new music and graphics - what happened to that?
24994J 5630 Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Remember when there were rumors back in 2010/2011 that the newscasts would start using the 2007 Stimulus cuts that WLS had previously rejected? Heck, I think some of these station IDs are in the rotation. I know I saw one on their revamped stream last week. [yt]szncRPhMXI8[/yt]
ns8401 957 Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 My question would be: Were these things just experiments? They are pretty nice even if it doesn't quite fit their style...
24994J 5630 Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 I think they were supposed to switch to Stimulus entirely, but like WLS with those cuts in '07, WABC backed out and stuck with the standard. 1

RGSJenkins 435 Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Have we seen them yet? By that I mean the ones in some of the special promos and Protect Our Children bump? The new "Protect Our Children" graphics debuted over the weekend, the music for it was changed two days later to the KABC morning cut.
brianpr3 178 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 I just noticed they moved Tim Fleischer to am's? he was always in the PM.
ToriElectra 292 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 He was actually the first co-anchor of EWN This Morning when it debuted back around 1989, alongside Art McFarland. So this brings him full circle.
brianpr3 178 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 also what is this "vacation" that Maximus fuzz has been on(dog who visit's bill evans at 6:15 am) because supposedly abc has made changes that are possibly gonna be debut on 4-20

brianpr3 178 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Ohhhh, you guys don't watch EWN this morning since i am a night owl at 6:15 Bill Evans does his Forecast Traditionally outside and a group of dogs join him Maximus a Samoyed , Siri also a Samoyed and Cilo (don't know what breed she is can you tell me anyone?https://twitter.com/ClioPup/status/579966837871480832 ) and sometimes Luke a Bernese Mountain dog, They haven't been seen on air in a few weeks and people are going crazy on where they are, there was a rumor that bill got scolded and told they can't be there etc but supposedly there is "behind the scenes changes" Bill on his facebook commented that the dogs could be back on april 20th? Here's a picture of all 3 maximus clio and siri. https://twitter.com/siriusbsiri/status/575124287885041664 btw maximus has a facebook https://www.facebook.com/pages/Maximus-Fuzz/1423452974618797?fref=ts
mountainave 606 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 I just noticed they moved Tim Fleischer to am's? he was always in the PM. Not sure exactly, but perhaps it's to fill the void left by Lisa's passing.
BehindNYNews 147 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Michelle Charlesworth anchoring with Liz Cho at 4pm.
