mountainave 606 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Rob Powers is doing the news headlines on GMA Saturday. Interesting. ABC News doesn't usually "call up" from stations (except maybe to find a weather anchor on GMA if Sam and Ginger are both out). He anchored World News Now not too long ago, too. Either his agent is good or ABC News brass likes him.

BehindNYNews 147 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Today Liz anchored at Noon, Liz and Rob anchored at first at 4 and Diana and Ken are anchoring 5pm. Fun day!

mountainave 606 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 This opening for a general assignment reporter has been listed since at least March. You'd think they'd be able to fill that opening relatively quickly with a presumably large pool of applicants from which to choose. http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=resources/inside_station/station_info&id=5783115 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/5/#findComment-88149 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabceyewitness 818 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 DIsney/ABC Television will go through an additional round of layoffs and will not fill many open positions. A majority of these budget cuts will happen at the ABC Owned Station. If nobody was hired yet, it may remain unfilled for a while unless WABC makes enough cuts on the operations/sales side.

wabceyewitness 818 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 On last night's 6pm news, the headlines video had odd backgrounds to them-- one with two ABC7 logos spinning and flashing on the side of the video and another with NewsCopter7 flying behind the video. Looked very weird and cheap.. Almost like those flashing state fair/carnival lights.

mountainave 606 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Get ready for a new look to Eyewitness News. this coming weekend. Seriously? I feel like the look was just updated, and I like it. Doesn't look old yet. I'm curious to see what's coming.

BehindNYNews 147 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Get ready for a new look to Eyewitness News. this coming weekend. I wonder (but doubt) if they will go with the KABC graphics. Anyway truly looking forward to finding out. I assume they will also debut the new opens and promos this weekend too then?

24994J 5575 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 TOTALLY RANDOM: Okay, I know she's been in the business a long time, but Lori Stokes is 50??? She looks like she's 35!

CLTNewsWatch 4 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Get ready for a new look to Eyewitness News. this coming weekend.

wabceyewitness 818 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I'm assuming it's new talent opens and graphics. Hope the music doesn't change too much.. It's 14 years old this month and still great news music.

wabceyewitness 818 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 They dropped "abc7" because they found viewers ID better with "channel 7".. The average Joe almost never will say "abc7"..

It's 14 years old this month and still great news music. I hope that ain't that case either. I refuse to hear WABC using the new version KABC is currently using.

They dropped "abc7" because they found viewers ID better with "channel 7".. The average Joe almost never will say "abc7".. "Channel 7 Eyewitness News" is a far better brand, and a brand most folks can relate to. And the brand shows that they care about the locality of a brand, instead of placing a corporate stamp on it, despite being the network's flagship station. Do they even used "ABC 7" for programming promos or they also used "channel 7"? The only consistent solution would be keep the "ABC 7" logo in tack, and just call it "Channel 7" for the overall branding, not just for news. But do you think those suits from around the corner is going to hear that?

I think they work really well and have good chemistry That's not at all surprising. Both Lori and Diana are the kind of (now rare) talents that have instant chemistry with anyone and make whoever they anchor with look good.

NYNewser_676 26 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Did anyone see the new graphic pop up at the end of Eyewitness News at Noon today?
