CircleSeven 1960 Posted May 27, 2013 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.
mountainave 606 Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Great guy. Very comfortable in front of the camera. He'll be missed.
Twigz1 9 Posted June 4, 2013 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?

So I guess Sandra Bookman's gonna be holding it down solo for the time being, eh? 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.
Vlad 334 Posted June 23, 2013 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 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 787 Posted July 7, 2013 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 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.
mountainave 606 Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Darla Miles sat in for Michelle this morning. Has anyone seen her sub before?
nynewslover 280 Posted July 13, 2013 Author Posted July 13, 2013 This seems to be a big vacation week.. The end of last week as well. I belive it was last Friday they had Lori Stokes on at 4 plus anchoring the 6 solo. Last night they had David and Diana on at 4.. Diana and Joe on at 5 and I belive 6... Then Diana and Joe on at 11.. Same at WCBS Cindy Hsu and Alice Gainer did the 5 and 6.. Idk who did the 9 but Dick Brennan and Alice Gainer did the 11. As for Ch.7 idk the last time Joe anchored during the week.

Lauren Glassberg anchoring for Sandra Bookman tonight. Haven't seen her at the desk in a while.
BehindNYNews 147 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013  Diana and Joe on at 5 and I belive 6...  David did 6 solo.  This seems to be a big vacation week..  Absolutely.   As for Ch.7 idk the last time Joe anchored during the week.  Its not that uncommon.
nynewsguy 66 Posted July 15, 2013 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 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.
j.wer 12 Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 I just saw Jeff report a story about Israel from Washington on CBS Evening News. (Sunday National Show)!
TellyGenic 33 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Jeff did a story over the weekend on the CBS news from Comic Con in San Diego! A far cry from the hard news he covered in NYC.
NYNews 54 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 It seems you guys just can't let the guy go. LOL.
