24994J 5575 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 That awkward moment when the old ride and the new ride cross paths. No, I don't know if the old one is still in use, though I am curious as to the purpose of the old one retaining branding. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyway, for storm coverage, Terrell was at the storm site this morning, Judy and Linda anchored at 11, and both Cheryls are out there this afternoon. Alan is holding fort downtown for Ron at 5. Of course, that doesn't include the likely half dozen reporters that will spend time out there today.

24994J 5575 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Yeah, I never understood the new paint job. It doesn't match the new graphics, and uses a logo that was retired before this chopper debuted.

Chicago News Boy 34 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Woah wait a sec. I thought Chopper 7 HD just got a paint job. I had never realized that they got an entirely new chopper. Do you think it's because it can provide more coverage/breaking news having two? During a time when Chicago news choppers are fading out more and more, I'm in complete shock that they have 2!!

24994J 5575 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 I knew that they had gotten a new chopper. I think they ran a few promos, though it wasn't as repetitive as some promos and plugs they've aired. I did not realize, also, that the other one was still around. You'd think having two would be something to brag about.

It's funny that you say that because I literally was just so confused, sitting here thinking "since when did Cheryl Scott ever fill-in as a news anchor." It's been forever since I've seen Burton truly as a full "contributor" on air that she completely slipped my mind for a second.. Or two! Haha.

24994J 5575 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 This is really random, pointless, and a waste of a post, but is he wearing the same tie in both images? I ask because the image on the left is from last night, and the other is from today. It's kind of odd to me that, working in television, (1) the anchor wouldn't notice his tie choice, and (2) someone working with him wouldn't notice. I dunno, call me crazy.

Jase 1047 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Since the door has been opened (if you will), it looks like he is wearing the same shirt too. There appears to be makeup residue on the collar that is somewhat similar, but more pronounced today on one side given the angle. I could be totally wrong given that I'm dealing with an eye infection.

24994J 5575 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 No, no. I see it, too. And, I'll be damned if those lapels don't look very similar, too. Taking into account that the late news has more blue-ish lighting, I'd guess that's the same suit, too. All kidding aside, hopefully everything is okay. Maybe he had a laundry mishap, messing up today's outfit, forcing him to use yesterday's pieces that might have still been at 190 North...which is airing one of its semi-regular episodes this weekend, BTW. (Great segue, I know.) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12602-the-definitive-abc-7-thread/page/42/#findComment-127127 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns8401 941 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Note that the knot on the tie is slightly different... I always slip my tie off so I don't have to go through the horrors of tying the thing. Apparently Ron does it a bit differently...

ProButtonPusher 230 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 UNFILTERED, BOREDOM-INFLUENCED SPECULATION: Maybe they were shooting promos over a period lasting several days, and those promos required him to wear the same suit.

ToriElectra 292 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Well, people recycle clothing over several days all the time- I do it myself, to get the maximum possible use before I have to wash them. Ron must be doing the same thing with his tie.

nynewslover 277 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Personally I don't untie my ties just makes things easier.. When I get home I just throw them and will at times where the same one 2 days in a row.. No I'm not on tv (yet) but I work with the public and no one seems to notice..
