Georgie56 3066 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Brief summary of Jerry's last newscast... At least Mark put his clothes back on by the end. Well, the Jerry Taft era is over. Hope you recorded it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5276 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherandTraffic 44 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5276 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5276 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Rubber 611 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Rubber 611 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Phil did the 5 and the 7, so Larry gets priority at 10. Interesting, good to know. I guess this is the new norm now. So Larry did the 4, 6, and 10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always keep a safe distance from sniffling sports anchors. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5276 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. [MEDIA=instagram]Be0tFY3jPmh[/MEDIA] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

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

24994J 5276 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.
