CircleSeven 1955 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Ahhh, another ABC personality going to the other network. It's been a trend as of late. I thought he would be a mainstay at channel 7.

Twigz1 9 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Very well deserved, he's such a pro. Gonna miss him on weekends. So I guess Sandra Bookman's gonna be holding it down solo for the time being, eh?

Pegues was a general assignments reporter. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12678-jeff-pegues-leaving-wabc/#findComment-83246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad 325 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Â I think you may be confusing Jeff Pegues for Joe Torres. Torres is the weekend evening anchor with Sandra. Pegues was a general assignments reporter. Â He might as well anchored, he was so good at it. He should've moved up to ABC News would've been a better fit but i'm sure he'll fare very well with CBS. But he was definitely a class act, who knows, maybe he'll return in the future to WABC haha. I'm gonna miss those Thanksgiving Day Parade segments he did with his daughter though...

BehindNYNews 147 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Jeff was also the back-up anchor to Joe Torres. With Jeff now gone from WABC, they had Ken anchor 11pm last night and will have David Navaro anchor tonight. I wonder who will be the new backup anchor to Joe? I personally would like to see Matt Kozar anchor, I think he would be good at it.

I personally would like to see Matt Kozar anchor, I think he would be good at it. I'd give Tim Fleischer, Anthony Johnson, or Josh Eineger the nod over Kozar. NJ Burkett is too good in the field to take him off a weekday even to fill in.

TVNewsLover 779 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 NJ would be horrible at the anchor desk. Why not just have Phil do double duty or have Sandra fly solo?

TellyGenic 33 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Sandra went solo at 6 both days this weekend, but when it comes to the hour-long 11 pm broadcasts, clearly the brass prefers to have co-anchors.

nynewsguy 66 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Sandra in for Lori this AM and noon, which is why Lauren was in for her last night. There's a ton of staff out this week... have Supna Parhik and Jeff Smith in the field reporting at noon.

TellyGenic 33 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Â Were they doing medical and weather stories or general assignments? Â Both were doing stories about the heat wave - Jeff on what it's like outside, Supna on how to stay cool in the heat. Both more related to their fields of expertise than actual general assignments.
