The Channel 6 Action News Thread

The morning has an updated open that just mentions Karen, Tamela, and Matt.

Traffic last week was Jessica (M, F) and Matt (Tu, W, Th) and so far has followed the same pattern this week thru Thursday morning. 

 

Also, last week noon weather was handled by Brittney (M, F), Chris (Tu), Karen (W), and Adam (Th). So far Monday thru Wednesday of this week has followed the same pattern.

The promos here in NY for the gubernatorial debate with WABC and WPVI showed Jim Gardner hosting with Sade Baderinwa.. instead Bryan Taff was hosting. Was this a last minute change or did something happen?

Brian tweeted that he was asked to fill in.  He didn't give any other info.

Which would explain why Brian was off today.

Jim has been off this week.

[Vincent 7]

Jim is taking more and more time off. Indicator of something.

Today was Ali Gorman's last day. She didn't specify if she's going to work for another television station in her Instagram post.

[phillynewslover 135]

Health reporter Ali Gorman is leaving Action News. 

 

[TVNewsLover 787]

Anybody else notice last night’s 11pm had the PHL17 bug?

 

Also, Jaclyn Lee has co-anchored the past few Saturdays.  

[phillynewslover 135]

Interesting fill in - Gray Hall is in for Rick Williams at 5p.

New 6abc logo has been spotted with new larger abc logo that is now really consuming the 6.

Jim is scaling back his workload to only 6pm beginning in January, retiring at the end of 2022.

[24994J 5630]

As big a story as this is, since many here thought he'd never retire, we'll keep all discussion on Jim's exit to its own thread.

 

 

[Action Newsroom 1300]

Brian Taff will be filling in on Good Morning America this weekend.

During "The View" - 6abc just ran a teaser for Action News at noon with Brian Taff that was from last Monday 11/08.

Just an FYI, the segment is called "Tell Us Your Story" and it normally lasts for the majority of the hour. Glen & Ray do a phenomenal job with these long-formed, detailed interviews. So DEFINITELY a must listen.

Sunday night had coanchors today. Nydia was in next to Walter tonight. She had subbed for him last night too.

 

Jaclyn was in for her Sunday Morning next to Gray.

 

I could get on board with these pairings.

 

On a separate note, it seems that Christie Ileto is now the 4pm features anchor. She is mentioned in the close now and Alicia is not. 

[phillynewslover 135]

Action News has a new reporter, Bryanna Gallagher. Rick just welcomed her during the 4p show. She comes to 6abc from WPMT, Fox 43 in Harrisburg.

 

[Joe Smith 0]

I think 6abc is preparing to move Walter to weekdays. Nydia was anchoring this Saturday and she did not mention Walter's name in the close -- just Jeff and Brittany.

Sports reporter/anchor Jeff Skversky was out on the street today today, reporting on the coronavirus vaccine, nothing related to sports.
