To my complete surprise, Action News has a new meteorologist!

Payton will be making her 6ABC debut on the noon news today, 2/28.

Good debut, seems absolutely fine. 
 

The question of how they use a 6th body remains. The social media responses that this brings them back to what they had previously is technically true but also misleading, since one was primarily the traffic reporter with some weather hits (and of course in fairness covering the earliest part of the morning show and the prep, with David Murphy also doing noon four days a week). 
 

Give her some early morning duty to give Karen a well-earned later start (later being relative) some days? That would seemingly make Payton the built in coverage for Karen’s days off in that scenario. So no more weekday shows for Sowers (for the most part). 
 

Have her do noon and any afternoon coverage on Brittany’s days off? That puts Adam back to evenings only, and also removes a weekday slot from Chris most week. And it’s two days a week. 
 

Flex her all over for coverage (who loses out?) and reporting on weather topics? Maybe. 
 

Maybe a coincidence, but the timing is interesting that on the day she debuts, Sowers talks about plans to do more of his home-based livestreams. 

  • 2 weeks later...

As discussed in the ABC graphics thread and on our TheNewsCenter Discord, someone at WPVI simply cued up the new open, by mistake, for only one of the Sunday morning hours. Nothing has technically debuted, but the FULL rollout should be later this week.

Yeah, that misalignment was irking me, and I full well realize that’s a personal issue with me.  That and there’s still a remnant of the old package being used subtly on the vertical monitors off to the side of the anchor desk, at least during one segment. 
 

That said, I like some of the new transitions as part of the package.

Our inside source says it'll be a few weeks before the ticker and set screens get switched over. Heck, the new opens are temporary, since they're still the winter ones.

Will we get pics of the anchors in the opens?

Temporary, as in they basically pasted the new logo animation over the end of this season's winter opens. With spring coming up quick, what debuted Tuesday won't last long. No talent faces are coming. Status quo and familiar is the plan. Sorry if my wording suggested otherwise.

Are they switching the animation at the end to what the other channels are using? Aka this... 

 

Highly likely I missed this before, but found it interesting to see a reference to chopper 6 once more. 
 

Not a criticism at all. There comes a time you return to such references. Just the first time I remember seeing the term used since the tragedy.
