Roadrunner 216 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 A bit of 2020 ratings trivia for the Philly area, courtesy of Broadcasting & Cable, which basically checked up on what the Philly stations have been doing recently. I'm posting this in the "channel 6" thread because the station is, as it says, the "ratings beast," winning basically every key timeslot.

Them second over WCAU and WTXF in household ratings at 11pm is quite an eyeopener (no pun intended). 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/35/#findComment-251080 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several meteorologists have left at all big 4 LA stations this year (e.g. Garth, Fritz, Kimi, Pablo) -- there is a possibility she could step into an empty spot if a station is looking to fill it and she's interested in working (namely KTTV, which has an open "chief" role).

DoubleDare 3 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Will be a tough spot to fill. They have Walter & Sara as anchors tonight (It's usually just Walter on weekend nights). Update: And the news just ended, a nice sendoff, showed a montage of Melissa clips and everyone wished her the best and had "We'll miss you Melissa Magee!" in the credits under producer (Which they played the current bumper portion of the mctyw theme, instead of the proper theme) Edited September 28, 2020 by DoubleDare Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/35/#findComment-251344 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah co-anchors with him Sunday nights, and she usually has off Fridays (in which Jeanette usually subs for her at noon and Alicia subs at 4pm). For a while (mid-March until a few weeks ago) because of the pandemic Sarah was working from home and instead was working M-F and Walter was soloing during that period on Sundays.

Action Newsroom 1277 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 She had such a sweet, bubbly personality and 100-watt smile that made even the reports of bad weather seem good to hear. She will most definitely be missed in Market #4, but all the best to her in L.A. Thank you, Melissa Magee. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/35/#findComment-251352 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner 216 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Last week, Adam wrote on an Instagram comment that "[we'll] be seeing much more of [him]" now that Melissa's gone. So just IMO, I think this means that for the time being (or indefinitely), the job will be his.

Mrknowitall526 115 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Karen Rogers was on during the GMA cut-ins.

TVNewsLover 777 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) It honestly makes sense to rotate the four weekday weather people for the interim. They can do the same thing they did this weekend next weekend but substitute David Murphy in place of Karen Rogers. There are no early evening newscasts on Saturday because of college football, so it’s easy for Chris to do Saturday morning and night, and then Sunday night. And then the following weekend, they can have Adam and Cecily split the weekend again, and whoever does Saturday can get Monday off in addition to Sunday, And whoever does Sunday can get Friday off in addition to Saturday, that way they each still have two days off, with the working meteorologist just handling all the evening/night newscasts on Friday and Monday respectfully.

TVNewsLover 777 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Cecily and Adam handled weekend weather duties this weekend. This time, Cecily handled Saturday evening, while Adam handled Sunday evening. I believe Adam had off on Friday, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Cecily has off on Monday. Also, interestingly, Walter anchored on Saturday evening as usual, but Sarah was solo on Sunday.

Wow. She was a really good anchor and reporter where she was, but morning anchor fits her much better. I'll miss her at WPVI, but I wish her a long, happy, successful tenure at WTTG.
