BehindNYNews 147 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I guess the point I was trying to get across is that they don't need to hire another anchor. Agreed. Shirleen has added a lot of slack for WABC to make changes.

anchorman 94 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I think they'd *have* to offer the 4&6 to Lori first, but if she turned it down they would surely promote Shirleen. Shirleen will be first in line for any promotion over Michelle (sadly). Michelle would be amazing on weekdays. But the WABC ND is all about minority hires. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/46/#findComment-141784 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not a given any of this happens. Purely speculation at this point, but if Josh does go to FS1, they'd have to give him a NY studio and some type of role to warrant being alone in NY...plus his roots are in SoCal so him "going home" makes sense...and I'd think Liz would go with (and find a job in a second.)

nynewslover 277 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 How about.. Noon: David and Shirleen 4: David and Michelle 5: Diana and Sade 6: Bill and Michelle 11: Bill and Sade Or put Lori where I said Michelle and put Michelle on Mornings.. A lot of times people like where they are and don't want to move. Lori is a big draw for the mornings and I don't know if they want to risk that. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/46/#findComment-141798 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainave 606 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I don't think Liz is going anywhere. This job is too good -- anchoring the 4 and 6 means she's with her daughter in the morning and the evening. Plus, she's in DMA 1. Let's not assume Josh's career is more important than hers. If Josh were to join FS1, I imagine he'd work out a deal that either has him anchoring from a studio in NY or has him as a correspondent traveling for major sporting events.

And lets not assume that working in the number 1 market is more important then family. If Josh does end up in LA I can see Liz moving there too but not right away. There have been several people who have worked in some of the top markets but moved to smaller markets for family and LA is market 2 so not that big of a difference.

wabceyewitness 818 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I can't believe the number of posts there are already speculating what Liz Cho and WABC *might* do if it's true that Cho's husband Josh Elliot *might* join FOX Sports and *might* have to move to California because his new job *might* be based in Los Angeles and Liz *might* move there, too. Maybe we should wait to hear first where Josh ends up and then wonder if Liz *might* move anywhere? 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/46/#findComment-141801 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFk 7 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 If she does, I imagine WABC will fill the anchor holes with either Diana, Shirleen, or Lori. Personally, I would like to see Michelle Charlesworth in that spot. She has great chemistry with David Navarro and Bill Ritter. Plus, she has the right blend of playful and serious for the timeslots. As for the others. I don't see the powers that be messing with the morning team. I always love seeing Diana Williams, but I don't see her ramping up her presence or work load. It's easier to see them continue grooming Shirleen for a bigger role, given the three mentioned.

Personally, as much as I like my personal choice for replacement (Michelle Charlesworth), I don't think anyone wants Liz to go. She's pretty terrific.

Maybe we should wait to hear first where Josh ends up and then wonder if Liz *might* move anywhere? And while I do realize the Elliott-Horowitz connection at FS1, but who's to say that ESPN won't be in the mix? They're launching a 7 am SportsCenter in February and Elliott would give them a high-profile anchor (and he did help start the 9 am with Hannah Storm) to lead off with. Would hate to see Cho go because she's very good but playing into the hypothetical of if she does, would love to see Charlesworth get that gig but I do think you probably would see Stokes slide into that role and maybe have Charlesworth take the morning. Fortunately for them, WABC has themselves a pretty good crop of anchors to work with (although I'm not the biggest fan of Sade TBH).

Vlad 325 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Yep, they don't do much work for the 11PM broadcast if anything they just adjust and tweak the stories a bit and come back for the 11PM broadcast. But there are no afternoon broadcasts on Christmas Day. Kinda like the Day after Thanksgiving too (Black Friday) when no broadcasts are aired after the morning show.
