ns8401 941 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Not an actual reporter. Yeah I suspect it's not an actual van either... but the news van seems to have a way of getting around anyways... real or not... Note the "... Century News" van to the rear in a Fox News Channel type logo... Somebody had some spare money on that show I think...

Note the "... Century News" van to the rear in a Fox News Channel type logo... Somebody had some spare money on that show I think... Haha yes.. They also showed clips of a very opinionated news broadcast on a fictional "20th Century News" network. Those shots were shot inside what appeared to be a real news studio, I'm just not sure which one. The New York Post is also the paper of record in this show...Which is ironic considering many of its actual newspaper stories are also fictional.

IceManNYR 238 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 That's also one of the new Ford Transit vans. I'm pretty sure any new vans at WABC have been Nissans. Yes. The new vans are Nissan, [MEDIA=flickr]15499029151[/MEDIA] 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/45/#findComment-139177 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountainave 600 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 WABC has typically not updated its News Team page (http://abc7ny.com/about/newsteam/) to include freelancers (e.g., Andy Field, Renee Stoll) but does update it to include full-time staff. Kala Rama, CeFaan Kim, and Mallory Hoff all do not appear on the page. So, either all three of the newest hires are freelancers or the page just hasn't been updated (but the latter seems unlikely).

IceManNYR 238 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I've noticed Bill Ritter has been the host of Up Close With Diana Williams for a couple months now. Is Diana returning to the show or are they going to rename the show?

mountainave 600 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I find that song really annoying (they used it last year, too, I think) and it would have been nice if they used short video clips rather than flashing stills, but otherwise, it's nice.

IceManNYR 238 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 For the first time that I can think of WABC has moved network programming to 7.2 because the NY Giants NFL game is on WABC 7.1.

anchorman 94 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Josh Elliot is leaving NBC. Rumor has it he might be joining Fox Sports 1 which is out in LA, where he's from. If he does, would his wife (Liz Cho) relocate out there too?

I'd imagine if Lori wanted it, she could have the 4&6. If not, they'd prob leave Shirleen on the noon and have her pick up the 6. With maybe Michele or an outsider getting the 4. Diana is not picking up any additional work..if anything I'd expect her to scale back permanently. Woman is an absolute Saint to her family.

If they were smart, I would pair Bill & Sade at 5&11, and EITHER: David & Shirleen at 6, David & Diana at 4, and Diana & Shirleen at Noon OR: David & Diana at 6, David & Shirleen at 4, and Diana & Shirleen at Noon OR: David & Shirleen at 6, Shirleen & Diana at 4, and David & Diana at Noon OR: David & Diana at 6, Diana & Shirleen at 4, and David & Shirleen at Noon Switching out Shirleen for Lori in the above scenarios is also plausible. No need to move or hire anyone else for these roles or holes. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/45/#findComment-141777 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, they'd prob leave Shirleen on the noon and have her pick up the 6. With maybe Michele or an outsider getting the 4. If Liz did leave (would be a sad day for WABC), I could see Lori picking up the 4&6 and either Shirleen or Michele get the morning shift. If WABC were to go with a more extreme change, the best pairing I think would be: Mornings: Michele & Ken Noon & 4: Shirleen & David 5: Diana & Sade 6&11: Bill & Lori Maybe vacancies would've been a better word. If they were smart, I would pair Bill & Sade at 5&11, and David & Diana at 6, Diana & Shirleen at 4, and David & Shirleen at Noon Switching out Shirleen for Lori in the above scenarios is also plausible. No need to move or hire anyone else for these roles or holes. I think of the 4 options you put out, this would be the best. The only problem is a lot of people like Diana and Sade as a team. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/45/#findComment-141778 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the point I was trying to get across is that they don't need to hire another anchor.
