Eat News 4745 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Both great anchors. Just don't see this newscasts succeeding. It just has to survive the 2016 political races...after that it will be scrubbed till 2020.

NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I found this really interesting interview with Kaity Tong from the Joan Hamburg show. In the interview, Kaity talked about her new 6:30pm show, saying it's going to be straight news (not really entertainment, not viral videos) and very localized with emphasis on the entire area. Maybe it will be like the old 6:30pm show, which I remember was VERY hard news, almost with too much urgency. I also found it interesting how they talked about the news women that wear sleeveless dresses, and the hot young anchors that are put on the air despite their unprofessionalism (almost like Tamsen in a way). Here's the interview: [MEDIA=audioboom]4037115[/MEDIA] Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11654-wpix-pix11-news/page/24/#findComment-142963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 277 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I really hope this newscast succeeds. Kaity and Brenda are going to make a great team. I'm happy to hear it will be hard news and not entertainment and fluff. It's too bad they don't have a more suitable anchor with John at 5 and 6 (if Jodi stayed it would've been good) if Tamsen were to be let go or leave I'd like to see either Lisa Mateo orKirsten Cole be promoted Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11654-wpix-pix11-news/page/24/#findComment-142965 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too bad they don't have a more suitable anchor with John at 5 and 6 (if Jodi stayed it would've been good) if Tamsen were to be let go or leave I'd like to see either Lisa Mateo orKirsten Cole be promoted I totally agree with what you said about Jodi. Sure she was trashed upon at first since she replaced the legendary Kaity Tong and Jim Watkins, but her delivery was much better than Tamsen. Honestly I wasn't a huge fan of Jodi's delivery during the old PIX news at 10 but I think that was only because she was told to present the story in a certain way. IMO, If Jodi were to come back, PIX's ratings would get a boost. On a side note, I've been thinking, what if WPIX created a syndicated entertainment/talk show? I mean, they have Tamsen, Suki, and Oji for starters. Sure, Tamsen is not a great anchor, but she would be an outstanding entertainment show host in my opinion. They could have a lot of different guests talking about the latest celeb news and viral videos and trends. Tamsen is a good host, but she is miscast as a nightly news anchor. Also Kala Rama started today at PIX. I believe her first day is tomorrow on the anchor desk. Based on what I've seen of her, I like her delivery. I think she'll make for a pretty good anchor alongside Craig Treadway. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11654-wpix-pix11-news/page/24/#findComment-142966 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 277 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I know this is not going to happen but I'd like to see Craig Allen do weather on weekday evenings. I think he'd be great with Kaity and Brenda. As for the syndicated talk show I think they could put that on at 9:00 and have it compete with GDNY.. WHich Greg and Rosanna are the best however I am tired of hearing about some different hip hop Artist every morning Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11654-wpix-pix11-news/page/24/#findComment-142968 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Did anyone see the 6:30? How was it? Any opinions? Yeah I caught a little of it. I mean, it was good, but nothing overly special. Just a regular newscast.

abric 178 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I kind of wish Kaity and Brenda was on at 6 for the full hour. A half hour is not enough. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11654-wpix-pix11-news/page/24/#findComment-143167 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nynewslover 277 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 The news at 6:30 is the best thing PIX has going for them right now. They should either get the full 6:00 hour or get the 10. If they were to get the 10 I have no doubt they'd beat Steve and Dari. Kala Rama and Craig Trwadway are good as well Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11654-wpix-pix11-news/page/24/#findComment-143237 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nynewslover 277 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I only watched a few mins of their coverage today but I gotta say the scroll bar they were using was much better than the blue and orange one they normally have.

Totally agree. The blue/black mashup looked much more professional. It was the one that they typically use during the 'sports desk.'

nynewslover 277 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I saw a clip of this mornings news online and realized they were showing a live shot of 42nd street as the backdrop.

Hope they change that too. The one they first used when they debuted the set wasn't bad, not sure why they had to change it.

jerseyfla 207 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I don't know if anyone has brought this up here but WPIX has a heritage tribute Facebook page called WPIX Archives. It showcases vintage WPIX news footage, ads, promos, and also vintage ads for long time or defunct NYC businesses. I wish other stations would embrace their history the way WPIX has on this page. https://www.facebook.com/wpixarchives/ 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11654-wpix-pix11-news/page/24/#findComment-146658 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nynewslover 277 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 FROM CHRIS KNOWLES FACEBOOK: So a little jarring news, and I'm sorry that it's Facebook. I wanted to let my friends know I am having surgery tomorrow morning. I have a brain tumor that has affected my vision. And it needs to come out right away, they say. My sight should return to nearly normal if it all works out. And I believe it will. Mom came up to stay with me. It's all going down at NY Presbyterian. I'm not a huge sharer of serious items here. But I know many of you pray and your prayers would be very much welcomed. Thanks and I will see you soon. - CK.
