Eat News 4745 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 If you enter abc7ny into the address bar it takes you to where they want you to go. I cannot remember the last time I entered ".com" for anything. Most browsers redirect.

mountainave 606 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Which do they use more on air? ABC7 or Channel 7? Just think about the reporter sign-off, for example. WNBC uses "Sheldon Dutes, NBC New York," WCBS uses "Matt Kozar, CBS 2 News," and WABC uses "N.J. Burkett, Channel 7, Eyewitness News." No mention of ABC, and that's because viewers know the station best as "Channel 7."

Right I know the tag uses channel 7 but what about if they are promoting say Dancing With The Stars during a newscast as being later on ? Here we use just Channel 7 for promos like that during newscasts after say a story about it or something. Sometimes just 7.

nynewslover 277 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 It was Bill Sandra and Lee at 5pm.. In the words of Lee Goldberg it was like the year 2000.. They anchored weekend evenings correct?

wabceyewitness 818 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 It was Bill Sandra and Lee at 5pm.. In the words of Lee Goldberg it was like the year 2000.. They anchored weekend evenings correct? Yes. Bill was brought on to takeover for Bill Beutel and left the weekends once Beutel stepped down from the 11pm anchor chair. Lee got bumped up to weekdays when ABC News made the surprise move of offering Sam Champion a new position as weather editor and Good Morning America weather anchor. Sandra has been on weekends since the late 90s. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/41/#findComment-131670 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToriElectra 292 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Sandra has been on weekends since the late 90s. And before that she was one of the weekenders at WSB alongside John Alston and David Chandley.

ProButtonPusher 230 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Yeah. Looks like its a solid white with a very light border. It's a PNG with an alpha channel. I assume their website header/banner has a dark background, so it's probably not hard to read there. (I didn't check tbh.)
