RGSJenkins 435 Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I saw a ad stating that WABC is now adding a 5pm newscast on Sunday's (can't air Saturday's due to college football) starting this Sunday; only WPIX airs news at 5 on the weekends. 1
brianpr3 178 Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 wabc is showing their 9-11 arcives and various reporter testimonials from that day http://abc7ny.com/september11/
NYNewsCoverage 310 Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I saw a ad stating that WABC is now adding a 5pm newscast on Sunday's (can't air Saturday's due to college football) starting this Sunday; only WPIX airs news at 5 on the weekends. Just checked TV listings and it's true. This should be interesting.
ToriElectra 292 Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I also saw a promo for UpClose with flat, parallelogram style graphics- another hint of a new look?
nynewslover 281 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Just checked TV listings and it's true. This should be interesting. So the news will be on at 5 and 6?
LFk 7 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Has it been announced who the anchors are? I guess it's safe to assume that it's the 6 and 11pm team. I must say that this will beat reruns of Bachelor Paradise or whatever is randomly thrown there. It beefs up the timeslot, considerably.
NYNewsCoverage 310 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 It will be Sandra Joe Jeff and Laura according to listings at 5,6 and 11.
wabceyewitness 829 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 They showed promos for it yesterday. Regular weekend evening team. Curious to see if it takes on the feel of the weekday 5 o'clock news and what they'll fill it with. I'm guess some extra time for sports and some more packages from the network, similar to when the weekend 11pm went to a full hour.
TellyGenic 33 Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 CeFaan Kim, formerly of News 12 Westchester (and NY1 before that), officially joined last night. He flubbed his first ID as he finished his first live report on the 6, starting to say "News 12" before he caught and corrected himself. Good luck to him! https://twitter.com/CeFaanKim
fan of la tv 47 Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 I'm sure once College Football ends, the news will expand to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. On KABC, when there are no sports premeptions, the evening news is on Sat and Sun from 4 - 5:30 pm and 6 - 6:30 pm. 1
ToriElectra 292 Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 I saw another one of those parallelogram-shape promos over the weekend, this time for that FAB Life thing.
wabceyewitness 829 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 I'm really loving the new programming promo graphics that WABC has adopted (the ones showcasing upcoming episodes of Live, Rachael Ray, Jeopardy, etc.). I wish the news graphics would be upgraded to something a little more modern and similar to the programming graphics.
24994J 5676 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Noticed that during the GMA Eyewirness News Briefs, WABC now uses a rotating ABC7 / Good Morning America bug. Yeah, and it's pretty bad... [MEDIA=vimeo]139364903[/MEDIA]
RGSJenkins 435 Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I seen meteorologist Jeff Smith holding a new microphone similar to what the European stations use, the only other station I seen using that is KTVX in Utah.

wabceyewitness 829 Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Wow that looks cheap and awful.
BehindNYNews 147 Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Looks awful but those look like good quality mics.
RGSJenkins 435 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Lee was holding that mic today, it's three sided and screen printed.

wabceyewitness 829 Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Here's something you don't see every day: one local station advertising programming on a competing local station. In this case, WABC telling viewers they can catch Monday night's Jets game on PIX11. The game is an ESPN Monday Night Football game so must air on a local channel in the teams' home markets. PIX11 carries the local MNF games through a deal worked out with WABC and ESPN.
brianpr3 178 Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 don't forget dancing with the stars maybe thats why they are bumping it off to wpix? but the rules say that dancing with the stars is to be bumped off till after local news but jimmy kimmel and nightline
brianpr3 178 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 also wabc is still looking for the reporter/anchor position either they don't want to fill it yet or having a hardtime finding someone 2
JoseRM303 171 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 also wabc is still looking for the reporter/anchor position either they don't want to fill it yet or having a hardtime finding someone I wouldn't read too much into it. Mornings are covered with Lori & Ken, Noon is covered with Shirleen & David, 4 is covered with Liz & David, 5 is covered with Sade & Diana, 6 is covered with Liz & Bill, 11 is covered with Sade & Bill. Weekend mornings are covered with Michelle & Rob, weekend evenings are covered with Sandra & Joe. More then likely WABC hasn't removed the job posting after hiring Shirleen as anchor/reporter (anchor noon, report 4, 5 & 6). 1
brianpr3 178 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 i see but notice how the posting is Reporter/Anchor and i also crossed checked the posting on the disney site and wasn't Lisa's position reporter/Anchor? 1

And that's exactly what Shirleen was hired as Anchor/Reporter noon anchor & reporter for the 4, 5 & 6pm newscasts.
