24994J 5576 Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 I was thinking some news anchors would be down there hosting it... not weather and sports people. Obviously it's not a huge event. Nope, not a big deal at all.

24994J 5576 Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Not televised. Ravi was reporting from the show in full tux all evening, and some video from the event was used when Kathy announced the winners of raffle prizes, but the event did not air. However, Mark give a bit of a hit that some special guests from the station might drop in during the show tomorrow night, and the 3 WCL hosts are also going to have something air during the special.

alex979 119 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 A new promo featuring Jerry and Cheryl debuted last night during the Oscars. It pretty heavily implied that Cheryl is the heir apparent to Jerry, and he pretty much stopped just short of saying that out loud. The setting also caught my eye; it looked to be in a fairly large area in front of several distant monitors and a bright white backdrop. I had never seen it before. https://twitter.com/jerrytaft/status/569994908897042434 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12602-the-definitive-abc-7-thread/page/37/#findComment-123940 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The promo looks like it was intended to give Cheryl the Jerry seal of approval. The backdrop looks a lot like where they did the talent intros with a really bright light. Nice promo.

It definitely comes across like a passing of the torch. I really like the setting as well. If I am not mistaken, this is the same space they often use for debates, musical performances and the like.

24994J 5576 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 I would guess they shot it in the secondary debate/performance studio right next door to the Windy City Live studio. I know for a fact that it's large enough, and the width of the room looks about right in the promo.

Newscenter5WCVB 29 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 It could also have been shot in the old studio up on 3 off the newsroom. That studio is the same one used for the recent mayoral debate and has a white background that circles the walls of the studio just like in the promo.

Spring Rubber 702 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Cheryl Burton is filling in for Linda Yu tonight. I think Stacey Baca usually does it the other days of the week, but I'm guessing they're keeping her off tonight since she's gotta do the morning news tomorrow.

24994J 5576 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 The back-up plan is a little muddy for the 7 o'clock show, from what I've noticed. The only constant is that Alan fills in for Hosea, and seemingly vice versa at 4. It seems to me that when Linda is off, Kathy will do the 4 and Cheryl will do the 7, but Stacey will randomly pop up from time to time. Cheryl and Linda were off last Friday, so Baca did both shows. When she anchored at 7 another time last week was when Linda left halfway through the 4 o'clock show and Cheryl checked in early. Another scenario I've noticed a few times is Karen doing the 4 and 7 when Linda and Kathy are off. Nothing's really consistent. I'm still curious to see how this is going to shape up when it's a holiday and if a single anchor team will do all five shows, what will it take for Ron and Kathy to show up at 7, and will Phil (or Tracy, who knows) come in to fill in for Cheryl so Jerry doesn't have to pull and "all-nighter"?

24994J 5576 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 The declaration PROBABLY could have been worded better. Probably. Apparently Sharpie has hired an attorney to try and calm these rumors that, without confirmation, are just rumors and nothing more. If this really starts to get out of control and/or the rumors are true, then that's a bridge that the Blackhawks and ABC 7 (separately) will have to be prepared to cross. ------------------------------------------------------ Anyway, I was surprised to see Terrell anchoring for Ben and Stacey this morning. I wouldn't think they'd grab someone from the weekdays to fill a weekend morning shift, but rather grab a Garcia, Gallardo, Holmes, or a Babich to pinch hit.

Jase 1047 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 ABC 7 really has nothing to worry about concerning these rumors, but I am sure the GM & ND will do (or have done) their due diligence and gotten some answers from Scott concerning the situation. This would be a much bigger deal if she was a sports anchor/reporter. Anyway, if the rumors are true, the worse possible outcome is that she is labeled a homewrecker which, in no way, would be grounds for any type of disciplinary action. ______ I was surprised to see Terrell this AM too. My guess is that since he has filled in before on weekend mornings prior to moving to weekdays, he was a logical choice if others were unavailable.

If it stirs up the right group of people she will be terminated faster than the wind speeds in an EF5 tornado.

I just don't have much faith that other folks necessarily share that view. I have the feeling it'll become an issue if it's true so that's why I'm giving my 2 cents on it. They can practice whatever monogomy or not that they want to... Doesn't bother me. If it was true it could hurt her Q Score.

Unless some photos and/or a video pops up, there really isn't enough proof of anything for anyone to cause a stink over. Aside from a few negative posts on her Facebook page, most people seem to not care. ABC 7 is really invested in her it seems, so unless an avalanche of evidence were to be produced, this will blow over.
