As for the NFL, I thought I heard that the apple broadcasts are required to broadcast locally in home markets

Good question. While being out in the field and telling stories might be more fulfilling, it can also be exhausting having to constantly be on the move in whatever weather, looking for people to talk to, and writing a story in time to be edited for air in a few hours. Traffic reporting is essentially an anchor-type job in a comfortable studio, laughing around with the other anchors, being part of the "team," and getting lots of face time. Everyone has different preferences but I would imagine most on-air talent aspire to end up in the studio.

 

While I don't doubt that they aspire to end up in the studio, it would have to be as an anchor, not as the traffic person (which I don't see as an equivalent position). Rebecca certainly seemed to be enjoying filling in last week, but I'd be surprised if she would want to do it on a full-time basis.

Yes, that's too bad, I always liked her. I wouldn't be surprised if her leaving is why Kiran was hired.

She's been in the business 22 years. Well deserved career in the tri-state area.  Working at News 12 (The Bronx) and WPIX..

Is this related to the city raising the COVID alert level or is there working being done in the studio?

My guess would be related to new COVID restrictions Nexstar is implementing... but I don't know why they can't just social distance at the desk as before; so maybe it is studio work? It was a similar split screen at 5pm

Kirstin Cole, who was back today anchoring after being out with COVID, said on an IG story "Now we are all spread out around the studio to try to keep healthy."

Agreed.  As well as interactions outside the studios, including their families and who they interact with.  Unless there is a known infection cluster inside their building, it may be an overreaction.  Interestingly, WNBC is not doing what CBS, ABC and PIX are doing.  The reality with these new more contagious variants, is they will result in sporadic infections.  It does not mean everyone at their facility gets it.

Again, I wonder if  on air social distancing makes sense because staff may be interacting in close quarters behind the scenes. 


 

they most likely are but, behind the scenes, they have the option to wear a mask or the the station has reinstated indoor masking following the city and state health departments both recommending indoor masking again.

Newly renovated part of the PIX11 studio, which I believe is used by Dan Abrams for his NewsNation show, is now being used by PIX11 for traffic reports.
