Are they going to air any west coast games this season? If they do, this type of schedule won't be too rare.

 

This comes from a regular viewer of the 'WGN News at Nine at Midnight'.

The only difference I've noticed is they are standing at the news desk.

 

It was more of a "conversation" like newscast than a traditional newscast. Tamsen and John talked about many of the stories more than at 5 or 10pm.

I liked it.. Could see it succeeding if they play it right.. I think it'll be even better with Scott in the studio..

Yeah Scott did a pre-recorded segment today (he prerecords his 5pm segments at least once a week I notice). I think he now works on the RAW pre-show on WWE in addition to his sports duties at PIX. Overall I think it's a nice change of pace from the 5pm. It's better than Ernie's "positive" newscast on FOX 5 IMHO.

I like that they they now have a still background at 10pm.. That one that was continuously moving was kind of annoying

Don't get me wrong - as backdrops go, it's a million times better than the view of 42nd Street. But the static image they've gone for seems a bit messy, and just looks like a generic cityscape. They could have at least picked one of the shots from the animated version with a good view of the Empire State Building.

Saw the 6pm newscast for the first time yesterday. I like it - very lively, and a good alternative to the established 6pm newscasts on the other stations. But still feels like a proper newscast, unlike WNYW's offering.

 

I think they did well to create a set that's big enough for the background to work with the anchors standing by the screen or sitting at the desk. Much more versatile than any of the other New York stations.

WPIX has been using a hand held camera that has been the wrong color temp for the 5pm and 6pm newscast. Wonder why they can't fix it or swap cams?

 

Update, at 6:20pm they fixed it.

I noticed it seems they've taken Andy Adler off the morning show to focus more on evening and weekend sports (and I think she still pre-tapes for the morning show sometimes). For the last two mornings, Marissa Torres has done Andy's old "Hot List" segment.

Was listening to 1010 Wins tonight and heard Mr. G come on and do one of his "G thing" segments- I guess PIX11 sells G's packages out for other stations to syndicate them? Just thought it was weird hearing Mr. G on a radio station that he's not on.

They had a problem with the temp being stuck at 44° so I'm guessing that is why they took it off the screen.

The handheld cam is still the wrong color temp.

Craig Treadway anchored with Kaity tonight. Good to see Craig anchoring, even Kaity remarked that it was a pleasure to work with him. I always thought he should anchor with Kaity on the weekends.

Today is the 15th anniversary of the PIX Morning News, Suki has a ton of pictures on facbook showing them through the years.. Also if you go to pix11.com and click on the "Morning" section you can see the first few minutes of the first broadcast.. Damn that show has changed a lot.

Noticing that the studio cams and the hand held cam still don't color match.

 

That kind of stuff happens. Unless they splurged for a studio kit for that camera, you can't generally easily color correct through the camera itself. That's why the camera companies sell the "paintbox" add-on for thousands of dollars, after all.
