They're still spaced apart, but they're closer than before.

phillynewslover 134 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I wonder why. Walter and Sarah were spaced out during the noon show on Tuesday.

phillynewslover 134 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 The noon anchors this week were different pretty much every day. Monday: Walter & Sarah Tuesday: Walter & Sarah Wednesday: Sarah Thursday: Brian & Sarah Friday: Brian Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/38/#findComment-256520 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's how it went: "Action News, Delaware Valley's leading news program, now continues." Has anyone heard this before? Still hearing this voiceover, but only at 4pm. Hour-long weekend evening newscasts use the generic rejoin (Action News continues). I wonder why they choose to air this at 4? 1 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/38/#findComment-256869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
G2000 30 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Just caught the end of the noon newscast and it had a female voiceover saying “brought to you by Patio Enclosures” and then there was a full ad for it. Not sure if 6 has done this before but I haven’t seen it and thought it was strange.

Both Brian and Sarah were on at noon and 4pm. They always tend to be Rick and Sharrie’s main backups, along with Erin, and vice a versa. Even if they were unavailable, it seems odd that they wouldn’t have Walter or Gray sub.

She co-anchored at 5 PM today as well. I believe it may be because she’s also filling in at 10 PM. A little surprised they just don’t go solo at 10 PM when the one anchor is off.

phillynewslover 134 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 It's odd, because Brian filled in for Rick on Friday (I think), but Maggie filled in on Monday and Tuesday. Brian isn't off this week; why couldn't he just fill in at 5pm and Sharrie solo at 10pm?

Today at 12noon Sarah is anchoring solo, but instead of saying Brian is off, she said Brian will be along a little bit later, which means that he’ll be anchoring the later shows. Makes me think that he will be filling in for Rick at both 5PM and 10PM, in addition to anchoring the 4PM. I wonder why they think it is essential to have a coanchor at 10PM when one of the anchors is off, but not at 12noon. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/38/#findComment-258008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
newscopter7 232 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I wonder if there is a stipulation in the agreement between stations that there must be two anchors for the 10:00 p.m. broadcast? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/38/#findComment-258016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillynewslover 134 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Now Maggie is with Brian at 4pm. Maybe Brian will be on with Sharrie at 5 and 10, which explains why he was off at noon?

Especially since Sarah is working why couldn’t she have anchored the 4 PM? Sarah did give the preview for the 5 PM, so I wonder if both Rick and Sharrie are off today. Alicia was the feature anchor at 4pm. In the close, they mentioned Sarah’s name. Update as I’m writing this, Sarah and Erin are co-anchoring at 5pm. 58 minutes ago, newscopter7 said: I wonder if there is a stipulation in the agreement between stations that there must be two anchors for the 10:00 p.m. broadcast? I don’t think, as the 10 PM has had solo anchors in the past.

I’m wondering if they wanted an anchor on both newscasts instead of having two fill-in reporters doing the 5pm? Although not sure I understand why Brian and Sarah didn’t just anchor at 4pm and 5pm ... unless Jim is also off??? I feel like we should have a 4pm anchor announcement in the next month, so maybe they are testing pairs? Even weirder, both Walter and Gray were in studio doing reports so they could have also filled in.

phillynewslover 134 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Here are my candidates for 4pm co-anchor, since we should be getting an announcement for the replacement soon. Very likely Sarah Bloomquist Likely Alicia Vitarelli Erin O'Hearn Possible Maggie Kent In terms of Melissa's replacement, I hope they bring in someone from outside; not only would I like to see who they would choose, I don't think any of the meteorologists should move to different slots.
