Action Newsroom 1277 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 16 minutes ago, PhillyWatch said: The latest forecast posted at https://6abc.com/weather/ shows the new graphics I've been looking forward to WPVI getting these graphics since I first saw WLS using them, and they are as breathtakingly incredible here as they are there. Agreed about the new 7-Day; it hits different to me but looks so great nonetheless that they'll grow on me.

cg41386 132 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I thought they were pretty good, but the logo/time/temperature bug was blocking the temperature forecast for next Saturday, they did remove it at the very end of the segment though.

susquvalleywgal 517 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) My opinion: Change is good here. Yes, the new 7-day look will take time to get used to, as with anything. Other's opinion: Only 1 in this FB thread liked it (two if you include my comment lol). Rest, well they don't. Once person asked to change it back to 'save his marriage'. Philly, being Philly I guess. LOL. https://www.facebook.com/6abcActionNewsWeather/photos/a.164230073660511/5984925338257593/?__cft__[0]=AZVBHUZenayjbhVYtwF9YV61w0VW-V9mI6YVOhNmdE11dx2ooOJVe-6Ncvicj0y-5CQB1PXKbZIGLBL7A0m2VMANeEzkQJBDeNdriw3FnlWUhukX3EM7OlC-hCEksa-MEfHbC29IG71wjcveHVPFGKUHTPyJr2poT8FzUXn8oudxcev5P2j01MFCxv9F6CkAjtk&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R -- Matt Edited March 26, 2023 by susquvalleywgal 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/48/#findComment-284692 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD TV 255 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Look, you'll never get positive opinions for those kinds of changes on social media. If they can survive forecasts without the Jim O'Brien cloud, they can survive this. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/48/#findComment-284693 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Walter does fine by himself. Is there a reason why they're trying to add an co-anchor with him?

Geoffrey 858 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Seems uncommon to announce your next job a month and a half before leaving your current job, especially when you're not staying within the overall company, no?

TVNewsLover 777 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 So I realize that yesterday was a holiday full of fill-ins, but what’s the purpose of having Walter fill in for Gray (and Sharrie) at 10pm, only to have Gray fill in at 11pm for Rick? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/48/#findComment-287012 Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5568 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Gray is now a weeknight anchor, and Walter is not, so the former gets the big show in such a basic hierarchy. I don't know who did the earlier shows, so I don't know that Gray needed to be pulled from his regular 10pm slot, but I'd imagine the 10 wasn't a top priority on a holiday. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/48/#findComment-287019 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was: 12noon: John & Sarah 4pm: Walter & Sarah 5pm: Gray & Christie 6pm: Sarah 10pm: Walter 11pm: Gray I get what you’re all saying, but in that same hierarchy and line of reasoning, Sarah should’ve been the fill-in at 11pm, and someone should’ve filled in at noon for her. Or when Rick is off, Brian should fill in for him and someone should fill in for Brian then. Just seems stupid. I know, I’m nitpicking over something stupid. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/48/#findComment-287021 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not about hierarchy, it's about shifts. Gray already does the 10PM PHL17 cast, so it makes sense to keep him on. If Sarah were to fill in at 11PM, that means she would've been working for 12 hours, which I'm pretty sure no one wants to do.

I never said it was about hierarchy, that was someone else’s argument, which I argued would have resulted in a different lineup. But you’re also wrong, it’s not about shifts either. If it were, why would they not have Gray anchor the 10pm and have Walter do the 11pm?

Mrknowitall526 115 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Funny commercial! What's happening with Tamron Hall? Her show cancelled? Wonder who the hosts will be? Also, and this is industry-wide... how many hours of news do we possibly need in one day?! This means on air 4-7 AM, streaming from 7-?? (not sure), now 10 AM, Noon, 4-6:30 PM, streaming at 6:30, 10 PM on PHL 17 (though who knows if that continues?), 11 PM. Let's just have Action News 24/7! Kidding, of course... though they'd probably make a better 24 hour news network than CNN... 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/48/#findComment-288500 Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5568 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) One ounce of research would make it fairly clear that Tamron is returning for the new season, while Rachael Ray has ended. Therefore, Tamron is moving to afternoons.
