WPIX - PIX11 News

[dabx 60]

Saw something last week that a reporter from News 12 Bronx was joining WPIX. Forgot the name. It seems that Narmeen Choudry replacement was planned way before the announcement.

Pix 11's slanted curved election L3's look better than their primary ones. Wish they'd stick with that look, and customize the Pix 11 L3 box graphic accordingly.

Curious Kori is not around today - Threadway did the afternoon - you would think the main anchor would be on tonight

They probably always have someone they're looking at as a replacement if a spot opens up, no?

Hey WPIX - that Mr G piece with the campers was filmed pre-pandemic and was shown then - you are not fooling as being something current - you can’t fool us

“Comcast wants the FCC to issue a ruling that Nexstar should be attributed ownership of WPIX New York , which would make it in violation of the commission's 39% cap on broadcast national audience reach. The cable operator claims Nexstar’s divestiture of the station to meet FCC requirements in its acquisition of Tribune was a “sham.””

Yes! Please call a spade a spade. This LMA operation sidecar bullsh*t must end.

Here is the link to the Comcast petition, which I found in this article on TVTechnology:

I hope Comcast wins this, Hopefully it forces the station to go back to Scripps whether they want it or not... 

[NowBergen 681]

This has been a total sham.  There is no mention that the station is owned by "Mission" broadcasting anywhere on their broadcasts or website - except in the about us section.  Everything is Nexstar.  The President/GM is a Nexstar employee.  If it wasn't to stay under the caps, Mission Broadcasting would not even exist.

Wow! I can't believe I am agreeing with Comcast. What I hope happens, if Comcast wins, companies such as Nexstar, Sinclair, and Scripps have to let go of their secondary "partners". (Mission, Cunningham, and Inyo)

Kala Rama returned from maternity leave on Thursday and anchored the early morning show. Still don't understand why they got rid of her from that show.

Mission is mentioned (along with Nexstar) on paid advertising blocks

Did anyone else see that Sukanya Krishnan and Scott Stanford are hosting a 9/11 special type thing.. seemed like it was a law firm infomercial on WLNY.. guess their podcast is getting them other air time?

WPIX is starting a 4pm newscast - no mention who the anchors are

Hopefully Kala Rama and John Muller get paired if a 4pm newscast happens. If it does, I know that it will be temporary as the 6:30pm newscast in 2016 with Kaity Tong and Brenda Blackmon only lasting 8 months. PIX has gone downhill in the past few years as they added their morning newscast all the way until 11am when no other local station has that kind of time slot. But hey, at least theiy fired Suki.

Let's hope one isn't Tamsen Fadal. (Oh who am I kidding; one probably will be her.)

[NYNewsCoverage 300]

Hmm interesting. I would think if they wanted to start a 4pm newscast, their 5pm ratings would be halfway decent? It would be great if Kala and Craig were named anchors, and perhaps given the 4 and 6pm then? Craig seems to still fill in quite a bit, Kala not as much, with Shirley Chan being the main fill in anchor (who I also wouldn't mind as an anchor candidate). To me it would be total overkill to have Tamsen and Kori anchor 2 1/2 hours straight of news, but then again the morning anchors do it. To think out of the box, Kirstin Cole would be another candidate who fills in a lot on the mornings (although she is better suited for mornings).

I agree. They would likely do a 4 and 6 team/ 5 and 10 team. Would make the most sense. Judge Judy ends in 2022 I believe, I wonder if WCBS will add a 4pm too?
