In addition to the backdrop, the anchor desk panels and stand up/interview area monitors are now seamless. The interview/stand up area also received a set of three vertical monitors to add to its background. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/94/#findComment-237331 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealNews18 204 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) BIG issues tonight on WABC.. not sure when it happened exactly but at the top of the 5:00 hour it was commercials until about 5:10. Then Lee Goldberg broke in and gave an extended weather forecast before tossing it back to Bill and Sandra.. they got through about two stories and at the end of Toni Yates story the camera was stuck on her live shot.. they got back to the studio where the graphics from Toni story were still on screen.. they attempted to read the next story and Bill and Sandra quickly went back to commercial. 5:20 and it’s a replay of a newscast with Liz Cho ( I do not believe it’s today’s first at 4) it’s a complete mess lol definitely the computer going nuts 5:30 Lee is back on air and on Facebook live Edited December 16, 2019 by RealNews18 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/94/#findComment-237384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadgeek Adam 170 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Ok, so I wasn't going crazy. I gave up pretty quickly because it was commercials nonstop.

Bill from Maspeth 33 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 No doubt the late, great Roger Grimsby was rolling over in his grave laughing. If he was still alive anchoring he would have joked about it after they got back to normal.

wabceyewitness 818 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Sounds like a major computer meltdown. Assuming the Liz Cho newscast was filled with pre-taped evergreen pieces to use in this type of scenario.

Roadgeek Adam 170 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 It's not crazy. It sucks it's not Spencer Christian again, but hey, he lives in San Fran and has his own commitments.

wabceyewitness 818 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 New augmented reality graphics and for WABC that mimic the standup/interview area in the main studio. This was shot in the newsroom (you can hear the newsroom phones ringing in the background).

Roadgeek Adam 170 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 For one of the few times since Sam Ryan was hired, Anthony Johnson doing sports tonight. Every time I see him doing sports, my brain thinks Randall Pinkston having to fill in for Warner Wolf.

Maybe just an Easter egg goof or someone thinking Amtrak runs the NYC subway (which would be odd given all the intricacies they put in).

This was shot in the newsroom (you can hear the newsroom phones ringing in the background). From the looks of it it just seems to be a chroma key. I imagine she’s standing in the newsroom weather center. If they wanted to make it slightly more realistic they could back up a bit and put some green on the floor. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/94/#findComment-237842 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a pretty good effect, as for the Amtrak thing I had a similar thought about the logo on a subway car.. neat Easter egg though would they have to pay a royalty to use the logo?

Vlad 325 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) I love Kristin's style of reporting. She's super engaging and very compelling the way she tells her stories. So glad she's back! Here's a demo reel from the mid 2010s in honor of her.

Vlad 325 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 There was a weird issue with WABC tonight, their logo kept flashing on the right side: I recorded the video during the Eyewitness News broadcast featuring the first report of Kristine Thorne of course haha.
