I was channel flipping in my NY hotel PIX wasn’t on at 5pm and 6pm. It was airing Nancy Grace instead.

 Weekend morning newscast not airing either. According to optimum channel guide 8am is PIX on Politics and then 8:30 is Monica Morales show

At least yesterday I tuned in at 6:30 pm and the PIX 11 Evening News was playing normally.

Very strange..It seems it was just for today and it will air as normal going forward. Don't know whose decision that was. I'd hate to see the weekend AM news canceled since Kirstin and John are great together.

I noticed that Alex Lee was dropped from a recent morning show promo, and her bio was scrapped off the website and any promotions. Quite strange, something must have happened. Dan did NY Living today with Marysol, Kendis did it the other day. I think Julie Millet has been covering traffic and wrote she will be filling in the next few weeks. I think Alex's last day on air was August 2nd.

Noticed that as well. There is one comment on her latest post asking where she’s been. Her Instagram bio still lists her at PIX, which obviously hasn’t been updated he latest post has a quote and ended the message with “the come back is always greater than the setback”

Her Linkedin has the #OpenToWork tag.

Does anyone know if PIX still has Air11? I have not seen it used for morning traffic or breaking news. 

 

According to Tom Kaminski's IG, it says, "former helicopter reporter for WCBS880 & @pix11news 1988-2024." When WCBS880 signed off, did that mean the end of Air11 too?

Star Harvey announced that she is leaving on 11/3. No word on where she's going, but it's not New York. Wouldn't be surprised if she ended up back in LA or at least California based on her social media posts and frequent visits back there.

Wow! Star was growing to be one of the station's popular personalities. She had gone viral on social media for her outfits.

People on social media thought she was going to be the new traffic person when she teased a big announcement on Saturday.

Now that you mention it, Star would have been the perfect next traffic anchor if they wanted to go that route (especially since she already did traffic a fair amount). So now they are short a traffic and weather anchor. I wonder if they'll move Chris Cimino back to mornings or weekends, or maybe put Stacy Ann back on weekends.

I noticed Greg Mocker also filled in on traffic this week. Makes sense since he is their transportation reporter.

Alexa Farrell is joining PIX11 as the new traffic anchor on Monday. She's married to Ryan Kristafer of FOX5. She's most recently from FOX61 in CT, but before that apparently spent six years at News12. She was a news anchor at both of those, so this seems like a step down, but I guess it's NYC.

Update - still not on the air as of Tuesday.

It's LA and it's KTTV:

Due to disputes between Optimum and Nexstar, WPIX is no longer available for Optimum subscribers. It seems the basic reason was that Optimum did not want to have to carry NewsNation anymore.

https://deadline.com/2025/01/nexstar-optimum-carriage-dispute-tv-stations-wpix-newsnation-1236254076/

Quote

In a statement provided to Deadline, Optimum accused Nexstar of demanding “exorbitant rates” for its programming. The station ownder is “using an anti-consumer negotiation tactic – tying local channels to less popular ones – requiring Optimum and its customers to pay for channels like NewsNation, which has essentially no viewership, in order to continue carrying Nexstar broadcast stations in various markets across the country,” the statement added.

Although Byron Miranda has been handling most weekend mornings and evenings so far, Stacy Ann Gooden filled in this morning, and "Nexstar Weather Center" meteorologist Jim Danner handled the evenings remotely from Texas.

Ah yes. Danner, who appears on NewsNation frequently - that bastion of unbiased news, gets away with posting crap like this.
