24994J 5276 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Has anyone else noticed how WABC's live streaming on their website seems to be delayed? I think it's at least 3 minutes behind what I see on our actual TV. Does anyone know why they do this? All the ABC websites are like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's at least 3 minutes behind what I see on our actual TV. Does anyone know why they do this? Yeah I have noticed that and it annoys me to some extent. I'll deal with it, but it's just annoying. But, what do you expect, at least you can stream it, unlike CBS (*cough* *cough*) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryFlick 26 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Today was Art's last day at WABC. Such a talented newsman. The last of a dying breed. He'll be missed from the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TellyGenic 32 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Today was Art's last day at WABC. Was there any special on-air send-off for him? Was the retirement even acknowledged on-air, like when Tappy Phillips retired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 269 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Sandra Bookman is filling in for Sade tonight. I like that they're using their reporters/weekend anchors to fill in now especially at night rather than just having and anchor from another show fill in.

BehindNYNews 143 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I just have to mention that there is quite a competition, WABC v. KABC on twitter. Rob Powers and Rob Fukuzaki have a bet as do Bill Evans and Garth Kemp as well as David Novarro and David Ono. It is actually quite fun to watch!

One thing about WABC is that you never know who will be subbing when one anchor is off! They are really the only station in NY that really utilizes all of their talent.

wabceyewitness 767 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Just want to throw it out there that the current WABC opening, bumper, and closing music turns 15 years old in August... and it still fits perfectly and has a modern sound to it..

justin2kx 229 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 It sound is still powerful, to this day. Kudos for Channel 7 for hitting this milestone. Not to mention the earlier version of the theme debuted in December of 1994, so make it 20 years of the melody. Well done 7 indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1944 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I believe it was August 30, 1999. Both of those dates fell on a Monday. It's kind a different now since you now see changes happening the Saturday before sweeps or the Wednesday before or on the first day of sweeps, etc. I can't believe prior to the end of 1994, they were still using the News Series 2000, Cool Hand Luke theme, after Lalo was "having a baby" about the use of his theme, and wanted more money (even if another composer played his theme).
