Vincent 7 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Next Saturday 6abc is airing the Las Vegas Bowl, eventually they will add a Saturday 5pm newscast counterpart to the Sunday 5pm news Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/25/#findComment-190960 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsLover 777 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Still no sign of Saturday 5pm for next few Saturdays. Also, I think tonight may be the first time Jeanette Reyes has filled in at the anchor desk.

This is the first time I've seen her on an evening newscast. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/25/#findComment-192291 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1684 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Given how wpvi is so dominant I was wondering how in the days of analog broadcasting their audio feed on 87.75FM rated? Would it be rated at all? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/25/#findComment-192295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsLover 777 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Some interesting fill-ins. Walter was in Christmas night for Jim (odd since Jim is Jewish) along with Chris in at weather for Cecily. Today Jeanette was in for Matt in the morning and she and Tamela are both in for Rick and Sarah at noon. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/25/#findComment-192370 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought it was a shame, because I really like his forecasts.

Would it be rated at all? As a television station they probably didn't subscribe to Arbitron (I know WITI promoted their 87.7 availability but they never showed up in a radio ratings rundown). I know WRME-LP in Chicago does to Nielsen Audio so it's possible, but until the 2000's it was just considered a radio dial quirk and not a viable business plan. 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/25/#findComment-192385 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF1964 63 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 So apparently Gray Hall was anchoring the Sunday noon show a few weeks ago and suffered a medical emergency while on air. He was rushed to the hospital and emergence surgery was performed to remove a cyst that had grown and was blocking blood flow. He's now recovering and hopes to return to the air soon. It appears he was anchoring solo that day. I wonder who took over for the remainder of the show. Gray Hall returned to 6ABC today.

TVNewsLover 777 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 A bit confused. Friday night on the 11pm news at the close Jim said make sure you join Gray Hall and Chris Sowers (with a pic of both of them) on Action News Saturday morning. But Alicia was on co-anchoring with Gray Saturday morning. I always thought Nydia was the weekend morning co-anchor. Does she only do Sundays? And is Saturday typically solo anchored? 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/25/#findComment-193391 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Newsroom 1277 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 A bit confused. Friday night on the 11pm at the close, Jim said *make sure you join Gray Hall and Chris Sowers [...] Saturday morning". But Alicia was co-anchoring. I always thought Nydia was the weekend morning co-anchor. Does she only do Sundays? And is Saturday typically solo anchored? First: Yes, Nydia is a weekend co-anchor, only on Sundays. Second: Yes, Gray usually anchors Saturday solo. I can't answer for why Alicia was in studio when he returned-- I didn't watch; maybe to help settle him back into the grind. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/25/#findComment-193398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsLover 777 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Odd that Alicia is co-anchoring with Rick at noon. Rick usually anchors solo if Sarah is off.

WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Odd that Alicia is co-anchoring with Rick at noon. Rick usually anchors solo if Sarah is off. If it's a Friday, yes.

TVNewsLover 777 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 If it's a Friday, yes. The other days of the week they'll have someone fill in. Sorry but you’re wrong. I watch the noon news regularly. If either Sarah or Rick are off, the other person anchors solo, no matter the day. If they both are off, the fill-in is either Matt solo or Alicia solo. Only once recently has there been two fill-ins (Tamela and Jeanette). The last and only time besides that they have had fill-ins in the Rick/Sarah era was when they initially were testing Sarah with Walter Sunday nights.

It’s worthy of a mention though because in the past whenever something out of the norm has occurred it's usually been a preclude to some sort of a change or retirement. Besides, the Chicago posters do this all the time. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/25/#findComment-195006 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVNewsLover 777 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Lot of fill-ins today. David Murphy in for Chris Sowers this morning. Adam Joseph in for Melissa Magee tonight. Alicia Vitarelli in for Sarah Bloomquist (she filled in for her at noon during the week and even had off Friday like Sarah does). Interested to see what happens this week as Sarah is in Minnesota along with 4pm/10pm anchor team of Brian Taff and Sharrie Williams.

TVNewsLover 777 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Another odd fill-in today. Rick always anchors the noon solo on Fridays as Sarah is always off, but today Alicia co-anchored with Rick at noon filling in for Sarah.

SJNewsFan 3 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Walter, Alicia, Jeff and Melissa were on Saturday from 5:00p through to 6:30. Looks like there’s also a half hour of news at 7:00p after World News. Does anyone know if this is the start of a permanent Saturday expansion, or something special ahead of the Big Game? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/25/#findComment-195802 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like there’s also a half hour of news at 7:00p after World News. Does anyone know if this is the start of a permanent Saturday expansion, or something special ahead of the Big Game? The intro to the 5/5:30 was the same as the Sunday intros and included Sarah. The 6 only had Walter’s name. Not sure if it’s permanent but it’s been rumored for a while. They definitely need a co-anchor, whether it’s Sarah or Alicia or someone else.
