johnothy 43 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 When did Action News start airing at 4am? I noticed they start at 4:00 now with ABC's America This Morning now at 3:30am.

TVNewsLover 774 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Watched the beginning of Action News at Noon today with Alicia filling in (solo) for Rick and Sarah. I walked away for a bit, and when I returned at 12:30 Ali Gorman was anchoring. Wonder if it was planned that way, or if Alicia had to step away for something.

armchairviewer 1 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 With this latest winter storm, I really enjoy reading Chris Sowers' facebook and twitter updates. Personally, I'd like to see him on the weekday morning spot 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/28/#findComment-220618 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVNewsLover 774 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Rick usually anchors solo at noon on Fridays as Sarah is off. Not today, Christie Ileto sat alongside him!

rkolsen 1684 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) One thing I noticed during a timelapse of their studio construction is that they have a jib in the air? I’m curious are there any tracking or sweeping movement shots used in their newscast? The only thing I ever really see is a shot of the monitor in the up in the grid. You can see it here around 4:35.

SF1964 63 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 There was a nice little write-up about Cecily Tynan's career in TV news on the Accuweather website today. https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/philadelphias-1st-woman-broadcast-meteorologist-cecily-tynan-discusses-her-20-plus-year-career/70007608 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/28/#findComment-222919 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsLover 774 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) So Christie Ileto has subbed for Sarah Bloomquist on various Fridays over the past two months. Sarah, co-anchor of the weekday noon newscast (as well as Sunday evening co-anchor), has had off on Fridays noon broadcast since 2014, and outside of recent subs, Rick has usually anchored solo. Christie subbed this week on Thursday for Sarah, and low and behold, Sarah is in for the first time on a Friday in over 5 years. They even made an indirect reference to it in the preview right after The View as they kept emphasizing the word Friday in the preview. Update: Now we know why. Both Sharie & Monica are off today, and Alicia is also off (feel like I haven’t seen her in a while), so Sarah is filling in at 4pm & 5pm.

TVNewsLover 774 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Where is Alicia Vitarelli? Is she on some sort of leave? I have not seen her in weeks. It was nice to see Sarah filling her role on the 4pm show today (the two main anchors usually fill the role when Alicia is off). Both Sarah and Alicia were included in the closing.

WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I guess it's possible but given what Jessica teased about her debut story being a report on what's happening this weekend leads me to believe she's likely going to be a feature reporter and perhaps a staple on FYI Philly.
