Dk_mediaNYC 30 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Tamsen posted today on Instagram her father is not doing well and a lot of things happened all at once. so she flew to be with him. that could explain some of the absence, but with the new promo apparently around, I’m not sure if that means she’s not coming back but I don’t wanna ask. I don’t think it’s the right time. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11654-wpix-pix11-news/page/58/#findComment-285543 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw a spot during the Mets game with the new 10 PM team: Shirley, Kori, Irv and Moose. Even if Tamsen is going on leave, for any extended amount of time, like others have said, they still wouldn't outright replace her in promos. bxxx_pm__bookend_promo_10 (1080p).mp4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11654-wpix-pix11-news/page/58/#findComment-285582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Agreed that John and Kala are probably currently the most underutilized talent at PIX. I find Kala a better anchor than Arrianee; and agreed that John has been moved around to every single slot and he's managed to comply. He must have a lot of patience; that is not quite how you should treat your groundbreaking veteran AM news anchor. And the same with Kaity on weekends. If anything put Kala as weekend anchor and have Kaity where she belongs-at 6pm weeknights! Either way back to real life, the current lineup seems to be 4-5pm :Tamsen and Arrianee (currently Kori since Vanessas on leave) 5/6/6:30: Tamsen and Kori 10pm: Kori and Shirley 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11654-wpix-pix11-news/page/58/#findComment-285583 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MediaZone4K 2172 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) WPIX fixed their mornings and fixed their set. Now their central issue is consistency. Part of cultivating an audience is viewers getting used to seeing regular faces on a particular show/timeslot. The constant shifting: Betty/Hazel, Chris Cimino, John/Kala, Kirsten Cole and more, is all over the place. Find a talent lineup that works and fight the compulsive urge to re arrange every few months.

But aside from promos there is no press release or social media posting on the change. Either way i'd argue there is no responsibility of a news anchor to have a strong social media presence (despite that Tamsen does). Neither Shirley or Kori seem to and that is perfectly okay, as long as they can read the news effectively. 2 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11654-wpix-pix11-news/page/58/#findComment-285813 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I feel like WPIX and WNYW are in a much better place these days with Shirley and Natasha, compared to Tamsen and Dari. We still don't know the full story with Dari ,but I guess they just didn't renew her contract. I feel like its also not too often you see a street reporter get promoted to top anchor (or maybe it is), but in Shirley's case it was very well deserved. I'm glad they didn't entirely get rid of Tamsen, she was just miscast as 10pm anchor, and she'll do fine for the early evening shows. Tamsen moving to nights was one of the last moves of the Bill Carey era, come to think of it. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11654-wpix-pix11-news/page/58/#findComment-286279 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffrey 860 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 A mouthful of a name but interesting to see. Figueroa was a good guy when he was on the Mets and worked for SNY for a time but left due to some personal struggles. Glad to see he's landed back on his feet. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11654-wpix-pix11-news/page/58/#findComment-286761 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceManNYR 240 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Curious why they can't fix the distortion of the graphics on the video wall? At the very least, they should be able to level the camera shot so the graphics are not higher on the left side.
