Judge Judy ends in 2022 I believe, I wonder if WCBS will add a 4pm too? Re: I wonder if WCBS will add a 4pm too? I present to you, News 2 at 4. I doubt they will do a re-boot.

Plenty of stations have had 4pm newscasts, gotten rid of them, and brought them back years or decades later. Not sure why you’re doubting it could happen.

PIXfan 34 Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 In addition to the 4 p.m. newscast, WPIX is starting a weekly football themed show called "NY Blitz," which is scheduled to start this Sunday. I agree with @NYNewsCoverage with regards to who should anchor the new newscast. Shirley and Kala are great anchors, and Craig has been filling in for Kori. The idea of Tamsen and Kori doing 4, 5, 6, and 10 is overkill.
MediaZone4K 2255 Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 Does WPIX really need another newscast? Their morning news is alright but the rest is just okay quality wise. From a business standpoint I suppose it’s beneficial to them.

Local content is more lucrative than syndicated, and what's being shopped around for syndication isn't great. 2 1
NYNewsCoverage 308 Posted September 10, 2021 Posted September 10, 2021 I saw tvguides have changed to reflect the 'PIX11 news at 4' starting this Monday, still no official announcement of anything so it could just be a quiet launch...

I snooped around and found a promo! To no shock its Tamsen Fadal but Vanessa Freeman is apparently her co anchor (so her hours are 4:30am -5pm with an awkward break... sad to see that Kala, Craig and Shirley are passed up yet again

So sounds like she won’t be doing both mornings and afternoons but co-anchoring the 4 and likely reporting for the other evening shows. 1

I wonder if Kirstin Cole gets the morning slot, or they look for someone else (presumably younger or more diverse). She's pretty good with John.
NYNewsCoverage 308 Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 Yeah I say if Kirstin wants the spot it should be hers! Both her and John are morning show veterans so they have a history and it shows. Vanessa's a solid anchor but she wasn't anything special with John so it will be nice to see her shine in the evenings. It seems like PIX is taking a page out of WNBC with the anchors standing; glad they're making use out of the other part of the studio.
Spintech33 126 Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 Kirstin Cole or Kala Rama gets the vote to work AM with John Muller. 1

Dk_mediaNYC 30 Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 Who anchored with John muller today?

It's Kirstin Cole's spot officially if they make the right decision. However, also I'd put Shirley Chan in the running. Although, she's the additional coverage when Tamsen or Kori is out. 1

NYNewsCoverage 308 Posted September 14, 2021 Posted September 14, 2021 Also, I would like to think that over time, Vanessa will be assigned to more newscasts aside from 4pm; since she went from anchoring 2 1/2 hours to 1. It would be cool to see her get the 6pm with Kori. 1
MisterBill 99 Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 Per the WCBS thread, Hazel Sanchez just announced on IG that she is the new 7-11am co-anchor of the WPIX Morning News. Had Betty announced that she was leaving?
Geoffrey 873 Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 I'm going to miss Hazel on CBS 2 but she's a great anchor and it seems like she already has chemistry with Dan Mannarino. I bet they'll be a very exciting team to watch.
