alex979 118 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 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/ ... 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he fills in for Brant, does he do the 11am show, as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Rubber 611 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5276 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.

24994J 5276 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ns8401 846 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4738 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. Nobody seemed to care last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns8401 846 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... That's the real reason. Otherwise it's a waste of resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5276 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheryl just doesn't have it when it comes to storms that require a lot of talk and explanation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
