jtgh922 18 Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 Happened to be fliiping channels today and noticed a 4pm newscast on WNBC anchored by Chuck Scarborough and Shiba Russell. Its even listed on the cablevision program guide as "News 4 New York at 4." Is this a permanent change or just an experiment? Anyone with inside info?
nynewslover 280 Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 I posted it in the WNBC thread.. Ellen is listed on the guide for Monday.. I thought it had to do with the Olympics ending early and maybe there were no Ellen episodes for this week?
24994J 5630 Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 WMAQ has had 4pm newscasts all through the Olympics (versus 30 min at 4:30)...they showed Ellen today at 3pm, but I'm guessing WNBC wanted to do something similar and take advantage of the lead-in, instead of losing the audience to Judge Judy or First@4.
trev57 46 Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Temporary. Shiba Russell posted this on her Twitter. Co-anchoring the 4PM NEWS today ...that's right ...you heard me right ... 4PM NEWS ...Today Only. See you after the #Olympics @NBCNewYork
jtgh922 18 Posted August 12, 2012 Author Posted August 12, 2012 Cool thanks for the info. I guess the only way this could happen permanently is if NBC cancels Days of Our Lives and WNBC moves all the talk shows back an hour.
TVNewsLover 787 Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 WCAU has a 4pm newscast, but they do not air "Access Hollywood Live" as most other NBC O&Os do.
civic110 20 Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Has NY Nightly News on NY-Nonstop been re-branded as News 4 NY at 7...I notice the listings have changed the name.
anthonyz 26 Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Has NY Nightly News on NY-Nonstop been re-branded as News 4 NY at 7...I notice the listings have changed the name. As discussed in station discussions, NY Nightly News is rebranded as News 4 at 7 as Chuck Scarborough is no longer anchoring the newscast.
Jess 1116 Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Secondly, Nonstop may not even be called that in a few months - they're tweaking it to make it more national, and adding classic NBC/Universal archive shows to the daytime mix.
jtgh922 18 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Posted August 20, 2012 I'd like to see WNBC add a 7-9AM newscast to the Nonstop channel (as KXAS in Dallas has done) in addition to the 7pm newscast. Move New York Live to Nonstop so it can stay an hour program. Its useless as a 30 minute show, in my opinion. Furthermore, what's the need for 3 hosts on a 30 minute talk show? (22 if u count commercials) Finally, I feel that Contessa Brewer should be added to WNBC's roster full time. She is an extremely talented anchor, who is being wasted as a substitute. My Lineup: Today in New York: 4:30-7:00am on WNBC, 7:00-9:00am on NY Nonstop Anchors: Darlene Rodriguez & Michael Gargiulo Weather: Chris Cimino Traffic: Lauren Scala News 4 New York @ Noon: 12:00-1:00pm Anchors: Contessa Brewer & Tom Llamas Weather: Chris Cimino New York Live: 3:00-4:00pm (on NY Nonstop) Hosts: Jane Hanson, Sara Gore, & Jacquie Reid News 4 New York @ 5: 5:00-6:00pm Anchors: Shiba Russell & Tom Llamas Weather: Janice Huff Sports: Bruce Beck News 4 New York @ 6: 6:00-6:30pm Anchors: Contessa Brewer & Chuck Scarborough Weather: Janice Huff Sports: Bruce Beck News 4 New York @ 7: 7:00-8:00pm (on NY Nonstop) Anchor: Jane Hanson Weather: Janice Huff Sports: Bruce Beck News 4 New York @ 11: 11:00-11:35pm Anchors: Shiba Russell & Chuck Scarborough Weather: Janice Huff Sports: Bruce Beck
Newsfan 9 Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 News 4 NY is going to be on at 4 today because of the shooting by the Empire State Building this morning.
