Guest NewsHound Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Maybe this is a permanent arrangement. Move Craig Allen to weeknights and get rid of the problem, G.

PIXfan 34 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Just saw a post from Chris Knowles on Facebook.. He's coming back to PIX he will be on tomorrow night. I am quite confident that Chris Knowles is getting a boatload of money to return to Channel 11, especially after Bill Carey shafted him before. Anyway, his (re)hiring could mean one of two things...Either Craig Allen is getting the boot (I hope that's not the case), or he is getting promoted. Which, itself can mean one thing...Either G or Linda Church is gone. I do not see WPIX bringing back Knowles just because. There is no room on the newscasts for four weather personalities, unless they are planning to expand the newscasts, and I don't think they are in any position financially to do so. We probably won't know the whole story until Monday at the earliest, so I will stop here.

nynewslover 277 Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Personally if it did happen to be Linda Church leaving which I really don't think it is Id rather see Chris moved to mornings.. Sadly it's probably Craig Allen thats leaving but we will see. I'm just happy Chris Knowles is back i always liked him.

knn3144 9 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Frankly, only if there is to be Morning news on the weekends, the four meteorologists would fit their schedules. Also, I noticed PIX used a different lower third for their teases. It has a bluish backdrop with the circle 11 logo. I them better than the L3s they're using now. Another change is that PIX started to use Jim Cutlers voiceovers for (only ) the Help me Howard coming up teases.

NYNews 54 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Just saw a post from Chris Knowles on Facebook.. He's coming back to PIX he will be on tomorrow night. Did his Facebook post mention he was coming back permanently? I think it could just be the case that he's filling in. If he does come back, maybe he takes the early AM hour and replaces Steve MacLaughlin, who also has a job at at CT station. Frankly, only if there is to be Morning news on the weekends, the four meteorologists would fit their schedules. Also, I noticed PIX used a different lower third for their teases.

WizOz 3 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Linda Church taking a lot of time off lately and is less involved. Also less face time when she is on.

He hasn't appeared on TV regularly since he was let go at WPIX.

PIXfan 34 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Dan Mannarino is anchoring mornings this whole week. He was not on this past weekend. Sources say his co anchoring on weekends has ended. Some say it was only a test run but I didn't get that impression from any of the articles that were written or his facebook posts. That's a head scratcher because I thought he fit in nicely with Kaity and Craig CONFIRMED....Dan Mannarino is OUT as WPIX weekend co-anchor, but will remain with the station as a reporter.

IceManNYR 240 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Kirsten Cole has returned as the in studio news anchor for the 4am-6am shift. Do they really need an anchor in studio, an anchor in the news room and Lionel.

tvknowledge 5 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I think its safe to say there is no regular schedule at this point. Hopefully they will have something worked out by the end of the summer. Isn't there a July sweeps? Maybe they're trying all combinations.

It was good exposure for Tamsen, and lets be honest...PIX as well. Tamsen is better suited for a talk show role, or as a morning anchor (where she was.)

IceManNYR 240 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 WPIX has changed the format of the 4:30am-6am hours back to a more traditional news cast. Craig and Lisa are the main anchors at the news desk. Lionel is no longer the host and doing the "What you need to know." with the text on the right of the screen. He now sits to the right of Craig and Lisa at the desk doing a quick commentary after some of the stories and reports..
