SF1964 63 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Wow, that was unexpected!? Eva Pilgrim had retweeted a message from a 6ABC producer wishing him happy retirement and showing him walking through the newsroom saying goodbye. David mentioned it on his own twitter page earlier in the week.

TVNewsLover 782 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 WPVI has hired Gray Hall. I wonder if he was hired as a reporter or anchor: http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/wpvi-adds-anchor-from-virginia/159356 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/16/#findComment-140006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsLover 782 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Eva Pilgrim is moving over to the network: http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/abc-news-adds-eva-pilgrim-as-correspondent/279983 Looking at my previous post, I wonder if Gray Hall is her replacement on the weekend mornings alongside Nydia Han. WPVI has a history of hiring replacements before someone retires or moves on.

24994J 5585 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 It seems like she was barely at WPVI long enough to cast a shadow. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/16/#findComment-141296 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF1964 63 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 It seems like she was barely at WPVI long enough to cast a shadow. She reported on the street a few days a week and anchored the weekend morning shows. I think she did plenty and was very good. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/16/#findComment-141305 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYPhillynews 103 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 More young 'PVI talent moving on to bigger platforms within the ABC News family...First Shirleen, then Kenneth, now Eva.

WPVI is indeed a powerhouse station. WABC & WPVI are the best news stations in the country. Agreed. While they are going to one great organization, they certainly left another. Although I will miss them at WPVI, they are very talented anchors and reporters and they do deserve huge promotions within the ABC company. Good luck and congrats to Eva on her move to the Alphabet.

TVNewsLover 782 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Can I say that as much as I love Rick & Monica as a team, I really enjoy Rick & Sarah as a team equally as much. Which brings me to ask, why isn't she used as a fill-in for Monica and Sharrie when one of those women is off? Monica and Sharrie are typically each other's fill-ins, but it'd be nice to throw Sarah into that mix.

But Sarah is an excellent reporter, too, so maybe they'd rather have her put to use there. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/16/#findComment-141737 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Sarah is an excellent reporter, too, so maybe they'd rather have her put to use there. As much as I agree about Sarah's professionalism on air and the high quality of her reporting, she has that "bitchy resting face" syndrome made infamous on BravoTV's Below Deck. She can just seem angry when she is listening to her co-anchor talk. An old-school "face-for-radio". Just a superficial opinion - I repeat my respect for her talent and she actually does shine when she doesn't appear to drift away. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/16/#findComment-141954 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF1964 63 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Eva Pilgrim did her first ABC News report during GMA this morning. It was actually from Philadelphia, where she was reporting on the police officer that was shot. Dan Harris, the GMA weekend host, welcomed her and mentioned she came from the Philadelphia "powerhouse" station.

rear_flank 43 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Looks like Channel 6 re-did their weather graphics a bit. There's a new banner for the titles and some of the forecasts are changed Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/16/#findComment-143667 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAnderson1 27 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I noticed that. Last time they changed that, new news graphics came after that in 2010. Maybe a sign of something to come? Look for something like the Oscars for a reveal (maybe). 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/16/#findComment-143669 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrknowitall526 115 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 A refresh of the L3s is badly needed ...
