24994J 5577 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share 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 703 Posted July 14, 2015 Share 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.

24994J 5577 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share 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.

ChiCubsFan 34 Posted July 15, 2015 Share 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 5577 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share 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 941 Posted July 15, 2015 Share 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 Share 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.

Mannym13 15 Posted July 15, 2015 Share 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 941 Posted July 15, 2015 Share 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...
