wofchristian 44 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 For some reason on the 11PM today, sports was done before the weather. Wonder why. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/58/#findComment-302452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Lampstein 98 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 In my experience, weather computer crash? That said most stations have at least 2 weather computers, probably more, so who knows.

HanSolo 143 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Perhaps they needed time to get coverage or for Cecily to be able to go on if she was still there.

rear_flank 43 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Did Channel 6 already give up on that new radar they installed last year near Lancaster? Nobody has mentioned it in a long while on the newscasts.

Nobody has mentioned it in a long while on the newscasts. I don't think so. WGAL uses that same radar, which is located on the Millersville Univ. campus. WGAL still on occasion airs their Live Local 8 radar promo (brand that replaced Live Super Doppler 8 Radar Network) from time to time. -- Matt 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/58/#findComment-302790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanSolo 143 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 They made their point and don’t keep mentioning it perhaps? If it has reason to come up in a weather segment sure, maybe it’s worked in occasionally. But they ran a fairly extensive promo campaign for it and made mention multiple times in those segments. Maybe it’s just time to stop emphasizing it. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/58/#findComment-302797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrknowitall526 115 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I think I heard Adam Joseph mention it recently, something like "This was captured by our Lancaster radar" Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/58/#findComment-302832 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not something they need to emphasize as hard as they did initially. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/58/#findComment-302875 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanSolo 143 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 This most recent storm was an example of when it makes sense to work it in. Plenty of days it won’t be relevant.

rear_flank 43 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 6abc is using a mix of old and new graphics for the Eagles parade. The clock is from the old package and the lower third is new (not the usual one used for newscasts). 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/58/#findComment-303656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillynewslover 134 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 PHL17 is simulcasting 6abc's coverage of the parade. I think this is the first time I've seen them broadcast Action News outside of the 10:00 show. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/58/#findComment-303663 Share on other sites More sharing options...
