24994J 5629 Posted December 24, 2015 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 787 Posted December 24, 2015 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
ChannelSurfer98 4 Posted December 24, 2015 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.

NYNewsCoverage 308 Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Marvin Scott anchoring a regular newscast tonight (with Narmeen Choudhury) for the first time in....I don't remember.
brianpr3 178 Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 Marvin Scott anchoring a regular newscast tonight (with Narmeen Choudhury) for the first time in....I don't remember. Same at the 10 pm newscast hell i dont know when he anchored one i would say he anchored back when jack cafferty roamed the halls of channel 11
Studio B 20 Posted December 27, 2015 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
brianpr3 178 Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 what nbc did it splitting the 5pm news into half hour shows wasn't it because llamas left to abc? 1
Studio B 20 Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 what nbc did it splitting the 5pm news into half hour shows wasn't it because llamas left to abc? It probably was IIRC, but why not pair Ushery and Russell for the 5 and then bring on Chuck and Vargas for the 6?
TVNewsLover 787 Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 It probably was IIRC, but why not pair Ushery and Russell for the 5 and then bring on Chuck and Vargas for the 6? 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
BehindNYNews 147 Posted December 28, 2015 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.
JoseRM303 171 Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 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. 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.

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. Agreed this seems more likely (actually 125 minutes). 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.
nynewslover 280 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Not sure if I'm late on this or not but from looking at Instagram Kala Rama (who will soon anchor at PIX) is married to PIXreporter Anthony DiLorenzo

IceManNYR 240 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Kaity and Brenda are anchoring the newscasts tonight. Marissa is doing weather. Andy doing sports. 2
TheRolyPoly 2592 Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 WPIX's ratings at 6:30pm will sky rocket once the other local stations go national. This pairing is gonna be a slam dunk for WPIX and its viewers.
Colortini 76 Posted January 1, 2016 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
Studio B 20 Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 WPIX's ratings at 6:30pm will sky rocket once the other local stations go national. 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
bamagator 5 Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Has anyone seen where Brenda Blackmon screwed up Ayana Harry's name? Ayana didn't look to impressed. Not a good way to start off.
wnbc2016 23 Posted January 6, 2016 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.
anchorman 96 Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Both great anchors. Just don't see this newscasts succeeding.
