24994J 5576 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 It was hinted at well over a year ago, but I think that priority left with the last regime. I think the plan was going to be something at 11am, and that would be smart considering noon is already a little crowded.

TVNewsLover 779 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 That's what I thought of too except if Jim Watkins came back, then I'd have Jim and Kaity and reunite the crew back together at 10pm. Yeah, and maybe Sal can come back to doing Sports, John back to mornings with Lynne White, along with Tiffany McElroy and Craig on the early morning shift. I wonder if Mary Murphy or Jackie Hyland can anchor with Peter Thorne on the weekends too!!! Seriously guys, give it up. It doesn't look like Jim's coming back, or that Kaity is getting the 10pm back. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11654-wpix-pix11-news/page/23/#findComment-141764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChannelSurfer98 4 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 It was hinted at well over a year ago, but I think that priority left with the last regime. I think the plan was going to be something at 11am, and that would be smart considering noon is already a little crowded. I believe WNYW had a 11:00am broadcast until they expanded "Good Day" a few years back. I think it's a good idea considering they would be the only local news at 11. Perhaps this could be a pathway to success for PIX 11, going on the air with local news while other channels are on their network's feed.

Studio B 20 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Forgive me if this has already been discussed but why does PIX 11 need to have a separate team at 6:30 pm than from their 6 pm? I do get that they're promoting this as an alternative to the network news but I've never been a big fan of having a separate team at the half hour. I'm not a fan of what WNBC does in the 5 pm hour with a new team at 5:30. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11654-wpix-pix11-news/page/23/#findComment-141996 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if they want to give Chuck and Vargas more time give them the entire 5pm and give the 6pm to Ushery/Russell. Anyway, this may all change if the rumored 4pm comes to fruition. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11654-wpix-pix11-news/page/23/#findComment-142031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BehindNYNews 147 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Anyway, this may all change if the rumored 4pm comes to fruition. Not to go back to the conversation but a WNBC 4pm newscast would be a blessing for WABC. Ellen is a tough competitor and is keeping WABC #3 in the time slot (though First @ 4 still rates better than all the other station's 5pm newscasts). WABC would easily bump to #2 if this happens, even if WNBC had an Ellen lead-in.

Anyway, this may all change if the rumored 4pm comes to fruition. If the 4 pm newscast actually does happen I see Chuck & Sibila anchoring at 4, 6 & 11 that's 95 minutes of air time. Besides don't think they want to move Chuck & Sibila off the 6 pm. Shiba and David more then likely would get the entire 5 pm hour.

The only other plausible scenario is the morning team picks up midday, and David/Shiba at 4/6 and Chuck/Sibila at 5/11. There are also rumblings that a panel show may replace Meredith.

TheRolyPoly 2412 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 WPIX's ratings at 6:30pm will sky rocket once the other local stations go national.

Colortini 76 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 According to the TV listings it looks like a lot of the schedule is being revamped once the 6:30 starts: 5a-PIX 11 morning news 9a/930a-Celebrity name game 10a-Maury 11a-Jerry Springer 12p-Jerry Springer 1p-Bill Cunningham show 2p-Crime watch daily 3p-Steve Wilkos 4p-Maury 5p-PIX 11 news at 5 6p-PIX 11 news at 6 630p-PIX 11 news at 6:30 7p-Friends 730p-Seinfeld 8p-the CW 10p-PIX 11 news at 10 11p-Seinfeld 1130p/12a-Two and a Half Men 1230a-Friends 1a/130a-Everybody Loves Raymond 2a-Crime watch daily 3a-America's Court 330a-Rules of Engagement 4a-Good Times 430a-The Jeffersons 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11654-wpix-pix11-news/page/23/#findComment-142338 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pairing is gonna be a slam dunk for WPIX and its viewers. Other posters have noted that PIX has tried a 6:30 newscast before and it failed. I understand the appeal of having a local newscast during the network time (we have that down here in DC with WRC with them having Nightly News at 7) but what makes you so sure this will be a big hit with the ratings? 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11654-wpix-pix11-news/page/23/#findComment-142340 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnbc2016 23 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I like Brenda tho I think she was better on WWOR then she has been on WPIX so far. I think she is over doing it. That might be her downfall just like it was with Roz Abrams when she went from WABC to WCBS.
