Ha! I didn't even notice. I guess I'm already used to it.

 

Here's Feder's write-up, and it makes no mention of a change in Diane's role.

Damn, you beat me. He's got it on backwards and that's bugging me.

I heard Steve Kamer do a custom promo for ABC 7 for today's Inside Edition featuring a story from Oak Lawn. Does he usually do that?

[24994J 5631]

It would require a pre-planned (not new/breaking), Chicago-focused story for that to happen, so if he does it, it's very rare. I can't say I've ever seen it.

Richard Roeper is back on "Windy City Live". Today was his first official day back as movie critic, a role he served in for 3 years before leaving for Fox.

That's who I was thinking, but I couldn't remember her name for anything. It doesn't help that she was only filling in, and didn't hold a formal anchor position.

You know, I wonder what happened to Bill Campbell.

Thanksgiving:

• Five newscasts
  
• Two male anchor
  
• One female anchor
  
• One sports anchor
  
• And TWO meteorologists, because screw you, logic.
  

But hey, they let Jerry do the 10.

Mark Mcginnis is filling in for Phil Tonight.

WGN did the same thing with mostly b team anchors, however I was shocked to see Jerry. Ron Magers used to always work Christmas so the younger anchors could spend it with their families and young kids

They really stretched the use of the old studio, especially with a relatively stationary anchor, though they even made up some stand-ups for his final Thanksgiving in 2015. He was like the first anchor to stand in the new weather center for the toss, and he stood in front of the desk with Jerry and Jim in the anchor chairs to close the show.

I knew I'd find it.

According to Stacey and Diane's facebook pages, it seems like it's their last weekend together. Next week Stacey is on Vacation and Diane and someone else will fill in. My 4 picks with Diane are, Liz Nagy, Hosea, Tanja or Terrell. Then the following weekend, Mark Rivera starts anchoring weekend mornings with Stacey.

Guess I know the answer to this now. Just heard he's in the hospital suffering a stroke.

[24994J 5631]

They mentioned on the air tonight, adding that insurance won't cover a lot the bills, so a funding account has been set up by friends.

Tanja Babich anchoring the Saturday morning news with Diane Pathieu today.

[Georgie56 3327]

Oops.

I guess I won't be attending Test Closing Message school today.

Nice shade from Jessica D'Onofrio: "It will be interesting if the President will be tweeting about the outcome of the race this morning."

 

Last night, he tweeted this:
