Journalist 894 Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 WPIX got new weather graphics this morning, somewhat. I almost think they look worse. The only thing I really like is the new overlapping feature and the interactivity of it. See it in action here: http://pix11.com/weather/forecast/ Much better mastheads. The problem is now that the weather graphics clashes - there's 3 active designs going on here, the new mastheads, the KTLA-styled mastheads and the 2007-something backgrounds from the Giant Octopus firm.

Chopper4 36 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 New traffic screens this morning. and the video wall, that shows four traffic web cams at a time.
NYNewsCoverage 310 Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Well Julie Grauert now works for NY1: So happy to be back on the street telling your stories! You can catch me reporting on NY1. I shot this piece too http://www.ny1.com/content/news/218900/completed-project-makes-coney-island-hospital-more-energy-efficient/ https://www.facebook.com/JulieGrauert
NYNewsCoverage 310 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Not sure if it was intentional or by accident, but THIS cut was used as the bumper music on tonight's 10pm newscast. I wonder if they're bringing it back for good!
nynewslover 281 Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 They're doing an 8pm newscast tonight cause of the Jets game.. I think it's a great idea.. Wonder if it's a test or something?
NYNewsCoverage 310 Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 They're doing an 8pm newscast tonight cause of the Jets game.. I think it's a great idea.. Wonder if it's a test or something? Kinda interesting...I think they ended early if I am correct...seems like they went off the air at 8:11..I think it was mainly a recap of the day's top stories and Scott with more analysis on the Jets game. I don't think it was a full-blown newscast. They are also going to be on after the game tonight, but that probably won't happen until really late. Kinda surprised they did a newscast instead of a special edition of "Sports Desk" that they usually put on before the Jet games.... EDIT: They actually came on at 11:27. Jets game ended early.
NYNewsCoverage 310 Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Kaitlin Monte did traffic at 5:00pm today, wonder if she's going to be on the 5:00 pm permanently now. Not sure if they would throw her on in the evenings just for one night (the weather wasn't that bad today, it was worse last Wednesday), and they had Greg Mocker doing traffic that day. Well if they threw a traffic reporter on the 5pm permanently that would really give them an advantage over the other networks that doesn't do traffic at 5pm. Also, lots of other cities have traffic reports during their evening shows, so I think at least one station should have traffic reports (I know EWN first @4 does a short traffic update at 4:14pm).
Colortini 76 Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 I wish they never got rid of Julie Grauert. She was pretty good!
NYNewsCoverage 310 Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Noticed this is the 2nd night in which PIX has extended their news past 6:00 because of the Eric Garner case. I know this has to be asked, so I will: Could this be an experiment? After all PIX is the only station without a 6pm newscast.
NYNewsCoverage 310 Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 The PIX11 sports desk moves to 7 nights a week starting December 12th. I guess this includes weekends? Wonder if Scott will finally get a desk LOL
24994J 5676 Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 The PIX11 sports desk moves to 7 nights a week starting December 12th. I guess this includes weekends? Yeah. Yeah. I'd say so. That's how it usually works.
NYNewsCoverage 310 Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Andy Adler now does weekend sports.
tvnewsviewer99 1 Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 Noticed tonight that Chris Knowles was on as a reporter - did a story on the Garner case. Is this his new assignment or his he also Wx as I see Joe Cioffi in for Craig Allen tonight.

Is this his new assignment or his he also Wx as I see Joe Cioffi in for Craig Allen tonight. He did weather a few days ago in the morning when Linda was off. I think they like to give Chris the AM fill-in spot since he has more of the personality for it, and Joe Cioffi the weekend fill-in spot since he has a bit of a stiffer personality. Since Linda doesn't take off all that often, they've been giving Chris a general assignment reporting spot to kinda keep him busy. I think he does more reporting during the weekends than during the week. But he'll still do weather when needed.
NYNewsCoverage 310 Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 Andy Adler now does weekend sports. Kinda interesting since Craig Allen & Andy Adler worked together on FOX5 just a few years ago. They now have a full weekday and weekend team, which is fantastic.
nynewslover 281 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 What they did tonight made no sense to me.. At 5 John Muller was in studio solo with Mr.G, as Tamsen and Scott were at the Barclays Center for the game and the royals.. Honestly they didn't both need to be there.. Then John was solo at 10:00 again. Saying Tamsen is off.. They should've given him a co anchor. It's an hour long show.. Needs two people
BehindNYNews 147 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Some big news from WPIX today... http://pix11.com/2014/12/09/pix11-barclays-center-announce-multi-year-strategic-partnership/
NYNewsCoverage 310 Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Sorry if this sounds like a really stupid question, but is PIX fully moving to this new Brooklyn studio and leaving the old one? I believe they are still keeping their current studio as their main bureau and studio, right? Just a little confused.
BehindNYNews 147 Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Sorry if this sounds like a really stupid question, but is PIX fully moving to this new Brooklyn studio and leaving the old one? I believe they are still keeping their current studio as their main bureau and studio, right? Just a little confused. Correct. All newscasts will continue to air from their current studios. When something special is going on at Barclays, like a basketball game, they have a small studio there to report from rather than broadcast from the street. My guess is this will be used for some sports events with Scott reporting from Brooklyn but I have a feeling it won't be used too often. In my opinion, rather than build this, they should be investing money to build a new main studio. It just does not look like a professional studio.

In my opinion, rather than build this, they should be investing money to build a new main studio. It just does not look like a professional studio. Totally agree; at least get rid of those awful pastel colors, and replace it with a darker, more interesting background or something. It looks like something that belongs on an entertainment show. What they did tonight made no sense to me.. At 5 John Muller was in studio solo with Mr.G, as Tamsen and Scott were at the Barclays Center for the game and the royals.. Honestly they didn't both need to be there.. Then John was solo at 10:00 again. Saying Tamsen is off.. They should've given him a co anchor. It's an hour long show.. Needs two people Agree on that standpoint too, but it seems that no one was really available. I believe Monday is Kaity's night off, so I don't think she was available to fill in. And Narmeen Chodhury and Kristina Behr, the two female anchors that were being "groomed" to be anchors were not available either; Narmeen still on maternity leave and Kristina busy with the Better Show. There are a few other reports they probably could of chose from, but there probably weren't enough to chose from. I think Ayanna Harry should be given a shot at the anchor desk, I think she'd be a good backup....I also think Magee Hickey is another possible choice...But still they should've had even Kirsten Cole or someone come in and be a second anchor. But she was probably busy as well...Also Tamsen was on the morning show discussing pictures that were taken of the royals at the Barclays, so that's why she was off at 10pm.
DanielMaron 5 Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 This seems very similar to when they would have Kaity do a part of the 10pm news from a restaurant (or something else) that had a good view of the city skyline. Sounds like a gimmicky thing. I see no need for it. I know it's no the exact same thing but remember when WLNY had their Long Island studio after being taken over by WCBS? It lasted a few months and was only used for one segment everyday.
StudioTech 15 Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Some big news from WPIX today... http://pix11.com/2014/12/09/pix11-barclays-center-announce-multi-year-strategic-partnership/ This would make more sense if the station were planning on airing any Nets and / or Islanders games when they move in next year.
NYNewsCoverage 310 Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Jay Dow will be co-anchoring with Kaity Tong tonight at 10 with coverage of the tragic news out of brooklyn.
NYNewsCoverage 310 Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Not sure why, but WPIX is simulcasting tonight's 5 and 10pm newscasts on Antenna TV (11.2). But it's only for tonight, and doesn't seem to be on the schedule at all tomorrow or next week. Just thought that this was kind of strange.
