PIXfan 34 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I hope that Channel 11 intends to eventually give Kaity and Brenda the whole hour at 6 p.m., because they are deserving of more than 30 minutes. And Tamsen and John anchoring three newscasts makes no sense to me.

Action Newsroom 1283 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Just the fact that Kaity Tong is going back to weekdays is a joyous thing. The surprising this is she's doing a newscast at the time that last time helped brought her to a downfall. I hope this works out well this time. Also, it's great to see the great Brenda Blackmon on New York News again. But this is a surprise too. I hope that Channel 11 intends to eventually give Kaity and Brenda the whole hour at 6 p.m., because they are deserving of more than 30 minutes. And Tamsen and John anchoring three newscasts makes no sense to me. Yes, please let this happen. Although I'm cool with John anchoring three newscasts but definitely not Tamsen.

NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Wow. That's...surprising! I think Kaity and Brenda should just get the whole hour at 6pm honestly. At least that's the way I see it happening (I hope) if this 6:30 hour does well. I was honestly thinking Harry and Kaity for years, but this is just as good of a team IMO.

alex979 119 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 It seems a little odd to have a separate anchor team for just half an hour...It would make sense to have Tong and Blackmon do the whole 6pm hour, as others have mentioned. But the fact that they're adding another evening anchor team makes me wonder if an 11pm (anchored by John and Tamsen) may be in the cards over the next year or two. It would be certainly be an uphill battle, but so is 6:30... That didn't deter KTLA or WGN at the late time slot either. It might at least do somewhat better than whatever they're airing now....

I agree with what you have said, but I don't see WPIX joining the 11 p.m. news race. If anything, there may be plans to finally launch the midday and weekend morning newscasts, provided that Tribune really invests in Channel 11.

NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I think a weekend morning newscast should be their next priority. It also makes me wonder with Kaity rejoining the weekday team 5 days a week (even if it's just for a half hour); will she still be able to anchor the weekend newscasts? I think if she does she should at least get a co-anchor (I still think Craig Treadway deserves a promotion- he's been at the station too long, and he and Tong have proved to be a great team on the holidays). Mario Diaz is another option. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11654-wpix-pix11-news/page/21/#findComment-140817 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 2456 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I think this is how it should be done: Tasmen and John at 5:00 and 5:30pm Kaity and Brenda at 6:00 and 6:30pm Kaity and John at 10:00pm with Scott Stanford and the SportsDesk at 10:45pm.

BehindNYNews 147 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I think there's more to this than just a half hour 6:30 newscast. If they wanted to expand a half hour, they could have easily just used John and Tamsen. My guess is on either a midday or 11pm newscast.

AceHawk447 17 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Marvin Scott should anchor again. I can see him doing a midday or weekend morning 'cast on PIX should either come up.

Where the 6:30 could grow into another 30 minutes at 7PM? Add EXTRA or one of those Entertainment Magazines shows at 7:30 PM, there you go Channel 11. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11654-wpix-pix11-news/page/21/#findComment-140857 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVNewsLover 782 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I doubt PIX11 is going to replace or demote Tamsen. John is definitely worthy of the main anchor gig. I am actually surprised that he left ABC News to come back to PIX11. It seemed like he was becoming a rising star there, even filling in on GMA. Perhaps if Kaity/Brenda goes well, they could do 11am news together too. I think Jay Dow is definitely in line to get the weekend gig (maybe with Narmeen Choudhury), and Dan Mannarino (Joe Cioffi weather too) if they ever expand to weekend mornings. I like Joe Mauceri on sports (maybe he can handle weekends). Not a big fan of Scott Stanford or the SportsDesk block. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11654-wpix-pix11-news/page/21/#findComment-140871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
