WABC - 7 Eyewitness News

Did anyone catch the end of tonight's 11pm news? The very tail end was unfortunately cut off of the recorded stream on the site, and I was wondering if Sade said anything to Mike about his first day on at 5pm. https://abc7ny.com/videoClip/16650619/

The staggered departure of Bill, probably is rooted on production side. What the general audience does not know is that these newscasts, while they may look and feel the same on air, they are all very different productions with different staff, producers, etc, news teams, etc working solely for the 5pm show, the 6pm show likely has different people behind it's production as well.

I’m wondering if we’ll see an “official” announcement about Pedro this week? Mike took over the 5 last Tuesday and Pedro was on vacation so it would make sense.

Something you don’t see too often (or ever?) - Liz Cho filling in with Toni Yates for this Sunday morning’s newscast.

 

Wow! Liz Cho on a Sunday Morning! That is wild haha. Didn't they hire someone from KABC to be on the anchor desk?

Yep they also updated the Mornings @ 10, removing everyone. I guess they couldn't just edit Mike out since unlike most of the images it wasn't put together and they had everyone actually in the photo at once. The 5pm was also changed. It is interesting that Pedro wasn't added to the Morning thumbnails.

 

It's funny though, while nobody is going to view them full-resolution, Lee and Sade (and Ryan) are rather blurry compared to the newer photo for Mike.

Yeah these photos definitely look like they are photographed separately. .
