With that said, weekend mornings haven't been the same since Phil Lipoff left the building. I think Rob Nelson was an amazing talent for a morning show. But, yes, Phil Lipof is great himself, too.

IceManNYR 222 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) The last three Fridays, plus this and the last two weekends, Amy Freeze has not been on and Jeff Smith has been subbing for her. She's still active on social media, but three weekends seems like a long time be off. Edited November 1, 2020 by IceManNYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TellyGenic 32 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Has Danielle Leigh been let go? The "7 on Your Side" promos now feature only Nina Pineda and Dan Krauth, and while the station website still has Danielle's photo, her bio is gone. And I haven't seen her on-air in quite a while....

IceManNYR 222 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) An update from Amy on IG: "Hi guys. I miss work!! I recently had surgery. I’m just healing up..... Some days I’m good enuf to social media... other days are not so easy! I’m feeling grateful for healthcare and my hard-working coworkers! Quick reminder that even though we are in this pandemic– make sure you are on top of all of your healthcare! Work with your doctors to make sure you are doing the right things! Thank you for all the concern and kindness.

wabceyewitness 767 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) Kudos to Lee Goldberg, who was in tonight, and cut into primetime programming for an extended special report on the multiple tornado warnings affecting the tri-state area. He stayed on the air until the warnings expired with explanations of what we were seeing on the live radar, showed the exact neighborhoods and towns being hit the hardest and gave advice on where to go to seek shelter.

He was already in studio for a special live edition of UpClose that Sunday. This was because the network called the winner of the election that previous morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it how WABC put their special touch in their breaking news re: trebek, led by its main anchor no less. Knowing that 7 carried J! basically since its start, it's genius. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner 212 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Definitely not a new concept, but WABC used WTVD meteorologist Brittany Bell this morning for its weather segments. Sam's been off, Amy's out of commission, Jeff's been pulling extra weight recently, and Lee's obviously holding down weekday evenings, so none of this is shocking but I just thought it was interesting. Now, I don't think this will really mesh that well with their existing lineups, but when times get better, could it be time to hire a fifth meteorologist? I'm sure there are also freelancers who can step in whenever, but I was just thinking of WNBC as a point of comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know she has joined them before in studio for the weekend weather, and they have also had other O&O meteorologists come to New York to fill in. This is the first time I’ve noticed that they had weather done out of state, from another station, with Brittany broadcasting from WTVD in Raleigh, NC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s most likely the case because of the pandemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
