24994J 5630 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Posted July 13, 2015 ... It's looking like we could have another wild night of weather coverage. Phil said last night he'll be in with Jerry and Cheryl. At NBC5, I believe Alicia Roman will be working with Brant today, and I imagine Byron will stay later too. Hey, quick question about Byron...in the ABC7 thread. When he fills in for Brant, does he do the 11am show, as well?
Spring Rubber 716 Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 During the week when Brant was off in June, yes, he did the 11AM show in addition to all of Brant's shows.
Jase 1068 Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Yes Sooo... is this an acceptable way to use "shut up" in a headline? http://wgntv.com/2015/07/13/illinois-sen-mark-kirk-to-donald-trump-shut-up/ ...

ChiCubsFan 34 Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Rob's in for Hosea tonight on WCIU. Boy that didn't take long at all, did we expect it to? Absolutely not.
24994J 5630 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 He's a logical fill-in for Hosea. Burton's on her way to Los Angeles for the ESPY's, Krash was on last night (but with two newscasts, he's not on that often), and it doesn't make much sense to drag in Ravi or Karen when they're valuable in the field.

What's the point of sending someone to the ESPY's?
ChiCubsFan 34 Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 What's the point of sending someone to the ESPY's? Most likely to promote it cause ESPN is out of ABC.
24994J 5630 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 I...I don't know. Maybe she'll do some pool work for the affiliates. But, still...
ns8401 957 Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 I...I don't know. Maybe she'll do some pool work for the affiliates. But, still... That might be kind of cool... I'd hate to see just a live shot on the 10 though...
24994J 5630 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 They're plugging that her reports begin at 4 tomorrow. Also seems like a sure bet that she'll be on her shift at 5, and obviously at 10.

ns8401 957 Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Due to some sort of issue the 10pm web stream started at 10:09 using the actual TV feed and this nifty card that we don't normally see:

ns8401 957 Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 It's older. It still says ABC 7 News and not Eyewitness. Usually a similar card with sports scores and the same abc7 NEWS logo in the lower right comes up. Definitely a throwback from somewhere.
Eat News 4745 Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Most likely to promote it cause ESPN is out of ABC. A lot of local affils are going this year. It's all because of the Jenner hype. Nobody seemed to care last year.
Mannym13 15 Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 What's the point of sending someone to the ESPY's? Because this year, for the first time ever, they're on ABC and not on the mothership.
ns8401 957 Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Because this year, for the first time ever, they're on ABC and not on the mothership. There are also some Chicago folks up for awards... That's the real reason. Otherwise it's a waste of resources.
24994J 5630 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 Yes. She's reported from LA and NYC in the last couple years, and used those cities' mics.
24994J 5630 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Posted July 18, 2015 For anyone who can't read minds, Cheryl and Troy are on this afternoon with storm coverage. WFLD broke in for a few minutes and NBC 5 is on with Byron and probably Alicia.

WFLD broke in for a few minutes and NBC 5 is on with Byron and probably Alicia. I think it was Pete. Troy is definitely the pro here. Cheryl just doesn't have it when it comes to storms that require a lot of talk and explanation. 3
