Action Newsroom 1150 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 [https://www.washingtonpost.com/busi...34b6d506b37_story.html?utm_term=.48d92ad94456] I know I shouldn't, but more than ever I'm more convinced that Sinclair has a plot to take over most of TV to turn it into state TV-lite. And more than ever, I'm cringing at it's success. I feel sorry for everyone at the Trib stations, TheRob most definitely included. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoseRM303 169 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Posted on the WMAQ thread but thought I would post here as well. Supposedly Byron Miranda is leaving WMAQ in Chicago to join WPIX as weekday morning meteorologist: http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/5/10/chicago-weather-anchor-headed-to-new-york Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianpr3 173 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 woah that's a suprise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJLamb0518 6 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 woah that's a suprise I'm hoping against hope that this does not mean they are moving Lisa Mateo to the anchor chair. She seem a nice enough person, but I want my anchors to be able to be serious when necessary and Lisa? She just seems to be smiling and laughing too much to convey that (besides, and this may sound harsh, but the size of her smile is somewhat disconcerting).

nobody 20 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 She probably means "we" as in viewers/followers as well as herself. well, on her latest Twitter post she says she'll miss the business but hopes to land on her feet soon. that would mean she was fired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A3N 996 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that she's had a billion co-anchors in the last 5+ years, ratings haven't gone up and she was getting wayyyyy to comfortable in that chair as if she were untouchable. She can be sad all she wants, everyone saw this coming from a mile away. Edit: oh and money. It all comes down to money. She probably was making too much of it, and nothing (ratings) to show for. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read the post i quoted then you would have known i am talking about. i did read it, my first sentence was my response to your post. my second & third sentences are separate comments on the way the moderators here discriminate which people they manhandle based on politics rather than content. the moderators clearly allow harsh criticism for Tamsen yet put the brakes on comments regarding Suki whether or not they are harsh - just in order to delay or postpone and ongoing conversation about her. I agree about your Tamsen comment 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobody 20 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Then you're not looking hard enough for that criticism. She's one of our favorite metaphorical punching bags. i could care less if she has criticism or not - it's the moderators manipulating posts and responses from earlier in the week until the weekend, well after the discussion has ceased. if they are postable on saturday - why weren't they postable on monday & tueday? that's like FNC The Five show having a discussion - but not letting Juan Williams give his two cents until the show is over - he doesn't get his say to further the discussion AND the discussion is shut down or limited to one viewpoint. it's selective censorship. And i don't buy the moderators claiming they don't have enough time during the week to review posts, not in this day and age. there's way more people posting and responding here DURING the day and During the week than on the weekend- the week is when news happens, we all know that - we're in the biz. to say people are working during the day and don't log on here is ridiculous - TV News biz has more downtime than any other biz on the planet, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see him post often. So I believe he doesn't have much time to approve your posts. Whatever you did must've been pretty bad. Now if some other people who are on here 24/7 were moderators, than your posts would probably be approved on the spot. Even overnight, as TVNT has some regulars who man that shift as well! And I don't believe they are trying to censor one side. Otherwise they would also censor Fred Flintstone, oops I mean Dirty Harry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USNewsie 49 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Betty Nguyen named anchor of PIX 11 morning news. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/betty-nguyen-leaves-nbc-for-wpix/190190 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from Maspeth 33 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I like her work but it remains to be seen how long Betty survives at the revolving door at PIX. Plus being somewhat of a "journey-woman", it's not a good combo. Will Scott remain as co-anchor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopper4 36 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Everytime they come back from a commercial break, Scott and Suki are singing a song, this week. I don't know if it's because she is leaving, and they just don't care anymore, but it is really annoying. Scott seems to be the one who starts the singing. Maybe he also wants to get the boot.

Upallnight 2 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 It is interesting that no one from PIX comments here because so much of this "intel" was already widely known on the inside. I also wonder if some of the more hostile commenters are what used to be called "disappointed office seekers". The bitterness is acrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
