Georgie56 3303 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 In other news, Elgas and Krashesky had some pretty funny banter during the story about the Mega Millions drawing.

WeatherandTraffic 54 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 He will get the 4 from Cheryl and the 6 and 7 from Jerry. Cheryl will keep the 5 and 10. I find this a logical idea for the post Jerry era.

24994J 5576 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Larry getting promoted is no surprise, and while I still wish it was Phil, I'm cool with this move. I'm shocked, though, that he's getting 3 newscasts, but that definitely speaks volumes to the WCIU newscast's future.

As in the fact that the WCIU newscast would be ending and leaving Larry with just the 4 and 6? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12602-the-definitive-abc-7-thread/page/93/#findComment-193940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5576 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 As in the fact that the WCIU newscast would be ending and leaving Larry with just the 4 and 6? I have a feeling. I believe the last agreement between the two stations was for two years, two years ago at least one year, a year ago. I haven't heard anything that they re-upped. It may not be in any danger, anytime soon, but they might be giving Larry the 3 now so they don't have to play with shifts again later, if the do bounce the 7. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12602-the-definitive-abc-7-thread/page/93/#findComment-193941 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Rubber 702 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 ABC 7 will be starting their news at 4AM tomorrow, and Karen Jordan will be filling in, hence her absence on the news tonight. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12602-the-definitive-abc-7-thread/page/93/#findComment-194137 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never understand that. Stacey (and Larry, til next week) sometimes has to miss a Saturday shift to fill in on a Friday night, and Karen and Phil (though they usually have him turn both) miss Sundays at 10 to fill in Monday mornings. Wpuldnt it be easier to switch those weekday shifts? I dunno. A related, random thought I had: I wonder if, like Ravi over Rob, Phil will get a bunch of weeknight 10pm fill-ins over Larry to make up for not getting the weekday promotion.

24994J 5576 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 And if you get rid of the 7 what happens to hosea? Best case scenario, he takes on a Harry Porterfield/Bill Campbell-like role, continuing the Chicago Proud series, feature reports, local programs, and parades (all stuff he does beyond the 7pm), maybe filling in from time to time. Worst case, none of that. 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12602-the-definitive-abc-7-thread/page/93/#findComment-194167 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Rubber 702 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Alan was on the 7pm newscast tonight. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

24994J 5576 Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 The promos for Jerry are up. I'd imagine they'll begin airing in short order, if they haven't already. [MEDIA=vimeo]250898221[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=vimeo]251226666[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=vimeo]251225989[/MEDIA] In addition to those (I'm sure there will be Krashesky and Burton ones), his successors are featured in longer-form pieces.

ns8401 941 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Someone should let the bozos who designed the new app for the O&O’s know that it’s nearly unusable... it has this panel scrolling format instead of a normal scrolling page... yuck.

That's an odd feature, for sure, but it's not hardly my biggest gripe. It's virtually impossible to find anything more than a few days old when THERE'S NO SIMPLE SEARCH FUNCTION. Like really, what the hell? Oh, and would it be so hard to use the WLS logo and not WABC's? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12602-the-definitive-abc-7-thread/page/93/#findComment-194339 Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5576 Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Like I thought, tonight was Jerry's final appearance on WCIU.
