WPIX - PIX11 News

[nynewslover 277]

I have nothing against Scott but it makes no sense to return him to weeknight sports. It's not that crucial of a role. Yes, he isn't a fit for the morning show so just let him go and eat the contract. Andy is doing just fine in the evenings.

 

As far as putting Mannarino in the morning anchor chair, that would be a mistake. If anything, they should move Muller to mornings and slot Kory in his place in the evening.

Couldn't agree more especially since,it seems they are taking a harder news approach. However I remember when Muller came back to PIX he said he would never do mornings again

Well MR.G and scott bromance will be back again

[Chopper4 36]

Maybe when John Muller said he would never do mornings again, he meant as long as Suki was there.

Sounds about right, management (any management, not just PIX) would definitely pull such a stunt - 1) sending someone to cover a big story, Manchester (whether or not they need to be there) - 2) have them come back and then e-mail the staff on what a great job was done (regardless of how well it was done) - 3) then use that Big Story in the announcement for the said promotion (a week,month later) as one of the many excuses for getting the position.

makes perfect sense, may also be a good strategy to get a few lifers that feel they deserved the position lookin' TO LEAVE if they are Tee'd Off enough. Though I would see them re-think the entire strategy knowing what a Huge Failure the Manchester trip turned out to be as far as grabbing viewers in the last days of sweeps. Betty's co-anchor may be short term for the summer with a permanent replacement under Sinclair. Looks like Mannerino shot himself in the foot by taking the Manchester gig, it exposed his low following. You can spend 20 hours a day adding followers by hook or by crook (like Jill Nicoloini used to do - spend her time 24/7 adding followers). When all is said and done - it doesn't matter how many followers you accumulated 2,3,4 years ago - it matters who is watching you NOW. Whatever numbers he had following him were also INFLATED - by the fact that the Tribune 42 Stations employees (not viewers) were following him because they were theoretically sharing the content (though 90+% of the video they probably used was from the CNN footage that first night) it's the same video every station in the NY Area was using for the almost 2 days the Bombing was a story. Dan may be a bigger Pawn than he realizes, though I'm sure Manchester is already on his "Escape Tape".

Mannerino got anchor just the way I said it would happen. Clearly GM Chris Wayland is making alliances with Staff to protect him once Sinclair moves in = job security. Nothing to do with getting the best talent for the job to increase ratings. Just Maintain the Status Quo.

Clearly now - Wayland is like the new face on Star Trek with the Red Shirt that gets beamed down to Planet PIX11 and gets eliminated. They spared Easterly as best they could by bringing him back to Chicago before Sinclair takes over. Meanwhile Wayland needs to get the staff to like him VIA Fear or Kissing Butt - before Sinclair comes in and lets him go

It looks like on my t.v. guide it shows a Orange background pix 11 morning news logo I don't know mabye new look tomorrow?

[Journalist 894]

yeah, the KTLA Flashpoint, i was thinking the same thing.

WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN TO ANYBODY OTHER THAN YOU.....

It's a news music package a fellow Tribune station used.

 

Google it up. All caps won't do justice.

[NYNewsCoverage 300]

Just turned on the news and guess who's finally anchoring...Shirley Chan! Her and Kori make a good team.

[brianpr3 178]

i saw the facebook comments regarding the New am team and i guess you can say it's overwhelmingly negative and pro suki etc

[nynewslover 277]

Here's a first..WPIX is doing a "Facebook Only" newscast right now (at 5) being that the Mets are on TV.. first time I've ever seen a Facebook exclusive entire newscast

I bet the sales manager will have a giant shit-fit when he/she learns they get not one penny from any ad revenue from facebook.

 

Suckers.

Looks like the new Daily Mail TV is being broadcast from the WPIX studio. Notice in the photo on the link how they cover up the WPIX logos.

It looks like starting next Monday they will add an earlier time slot for the Morning Show starting at 4:30

[NYNewsCoverage 300]

And based off of twitter, Marissa Torres will do weather (in addition to traffic) from 4:30-6.

Yesssir! I forgot to mention that part. It’s like when Chris Knowles did both traffic and weather at some point during the 4-6am time slot a few years ago

[Newsjunker95 28]

I hope Jill gets a permanent spot. As I was thinking that PIX should redeem Jill her old Traffic job as Marissa should do weather only. As for Oji, she’ll do it at 5pm with Tamsen

This is the first time in a few years now that WPIX goes back to the 4am hour, in this case the 4:30 half-hour.

I just hope they don’t defunct it (again) because I’m pretty sure the other stations start at least at 4a

Thought about updating the ad

[nynewslover 277]

This morning (at least during the 8:30 half hour) they're doing the news from the newsroom shot and PIX plaza.. weather looks like it's being done from the newsroom green screen. Anyone know what's going on?

[Newsjunker95 28]

I'm pretty sure it was a power outage or something. Let's just wait until Jay Norris upload the video on YouTube

[NYNewsCoverage 300]

Yeah I just watched the repeat on their website it was pretty weird, kala and craig couldn't be together due to lack of space in the newsroom i guess. They didn't really mention it though, and carried on as if everything was fine which is how it should be to be honest.
