When she is doing reporting, will she accidentally close her report “ABC7 Eyewitness News” out of habit?

 

Haha, as a nod to KABC, maybe we can take a piece of their identity by signing off as ABC 7 Eyewitness News, considering they took a piece of ours by pretty much using our music theme now. , the last time this was done was back in 2004.

 

These days the ABC O&Os and affiliates often share resources when WABC uses KABC's reporters, especially for bigger stories that take place on the west and east coast's largest cities (wildfires, natural disasters, etc) and vice versa, they usually sign off as "ABC 7" Eyewitness News.

It won’t happen again. 
WABC will forever be known as Channel 7. The rebranding of years ago was disastrous - not that people stopped watching, but no one ever referred to WABC as ABC7. 

Btw - for those who didn’t know - Lee Goldberg is an ABC news meteorologist now. He does WNT W-F and prerecords the AM weather for WNN and GMA First. 
 

The move to 7 Hudson has allowed much more integration between network and local. It has been playing out as had been hoped. GMA moves next month.

Tom Kaminski, formerly of WCBS880 and Air11 on WPIX was reporting in NewsCopter 7 tonight.

 

Wonder if John or Shannon are cutting back or departing, or if Tom is just filling in?

Wow he's come a long way since reporting traffic on the radio - He was the first person to report on the 9/11 incidents.
