24994J 5577 Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Larry did the 7 o'clock show tonight, and it was his formal debut. I can't think of a situation ever where an anchor has retired/voluntarily left (so firings don't count), and that person's successor started their new role the same day. 7 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12602-the-definitive-abc-7-thread/page/94/#findComment-194650 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Rubber 703 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Larry did the 7 o'clock show tonight, and it was his formal debut. I can't think of a situation ever where an anchor has retired/voluntarily left (so firings don't count), and that person's successor started their new role the same day. I didn't even bother to check the 7pm because I automatically assumed it would be Cheryl Scott. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12602-the-definitive-abc-7-thread/page/94/#findComment-194662 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have trouble fathoming why they went with such a goofy schedule in the first place... that’s probably part of it... it created a vacuum and you know how nature feels about said suction... 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12602-the-definitive-abc-7-thread/page/94/#findComment-194825 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherandTraffic 54 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 When Larry was welcomed to the 6pm tonight. Alan and Kathy mention the last change to the 6pm newscast was when Alan joined in 1998. That's how long the team lasted before Jerry retired on Friday. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12602-the-definitive-abc-7-thread/page/94/#findComment-194920 Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5577 Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Only 1 team in Chicago history beats their (month and a half shy of) 20 years, and that was WGN's former weekend team. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12602-the-definitive-abc-7-thread/page/94/#findComment-194941 Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5577 Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 It only took me a million hours, but here's Jerry's final 6 o'clock show, plus the segments from the 4 and 5 leading up to it. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12602-the-definitive-abc-7-thread/page/94/#findComment-194943 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Rubber 703 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Cheryl Scott is off tonight. Larry is filling in. Not sure if Phil is also off tonight or if they changed the way he's utilized when Cheryl is off. I didn't catch any of the earlier newscasts. 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12602-the-definitive-abc-7-thread/page/94/#findComment-195458 Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5577 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 These shots were all taken individually, but it looks like the literally cropped Jerry out of an existing group collage. I wonder if they can't find the original photos to fill the gap.

24994J 5577 Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 Larry Mowry did the 11am this morning. Did he do the morning show? Or did Tracy have to bail early? She did the morning show. I was looking at my DVR guide to record the auto show special this Saturday, and she's listed in the credits, taking Jerry's place. She's joining Mark for a bunch of test drives, like he did with Taft, at today's big media day. http://abc7chicago.com/automotive/abc7-special-chicago-auto-show---saturday-at-6-pm/3052849/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12602-the-definitive-abc-7-thread/page/94/#findComment-196137 Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5577 Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 There will only be 3 (at least 1 too many) auto show specials this weekend, as NBC isn't going to have time to air one with the Olympics. Channels 7 and 9 will be live at 6pm Saturday, while the one on CBS 2 will air at 10:30 Sunday night.

24994J 5577 Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Is there video of this? I feel like this would be a funny segment. It was just a warning that some of the sports have started, and that they'll have results throughout the games, too. They might prepare some gags, but the graphic is the biggest laugh. They mess with NBC's logo each year. I'll dig up 2016's.

24994J 5577 Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Windy City Live is actually live today. They only have half an audience, with the right side of seats filled with cardboard cutouts of Mariah Carey, Jesse Jackson Jr., Roe Conn, Peter Jennings, and Barack Obama. It's quickly evolved into a 6-minute newscast, though, with Larry and Cheryl tag-teaming an update within the show, with a live report in the field from Stacey Baca.

Georgie56 3304 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I remember that “BIO HAZARD 2016” OTS well. I would love to know who comes up with the OTSs seen during sportscasts.
