NJ Barb 0 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Afternoon traffic. I always wondered why this is done anymore. Years ago, I did not go anywhere without 6ABC on in my car on the radio. Before buying a car once, I ever made sure the station came in. With the new cars and apps, I just thought this TV report was useless. I hope Jess woks behind the scenes or reports somehow.

SF1964 60 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Watching the 10AM show and they have 3 anchors. Nydia has to stand on the far end of the desk to do her stories. Looks silly to me. Why didn't they build a desk big enough? Btw, I saw Matt Pellman doing weather on part of the morning show today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJ2000 3 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Former "AM Philadelphia" and "Inside Story" host Wally Kennedy has died. He was a versatile broadcaster who was exceptional in conducting live interviews with celebrities and people from all walks of life. After he left 6ABC in 2004, he was an anchor at KYW Newsradio until 2019. He will be missed. https://6abc.com/post/longtime-6abc-host-community-staple-wally-kennedy-dies-76-years-old/15489518/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he have a Meteorology degree? If so, I wonder if they are testing to see if he could replace Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, but, even if he doesn't, he could still be a good last minute fill-in, considering how much time he spends in front of the green screen.

HanSolo 65 Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 He was also on the 4 am hour Friday; by the time I got back from the gym in the 6 am hour, they had Payton on. Makes sense to use him as needed if Karen is out sick or what have you. Flexibility in any job is an asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamStabelli1 2 Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 Okay. What the heck happened to Jessica Boyington? She just up and vanished one day and was replaced by someone else. Did she get the Apody treatment? I hope not. I wish WPVI was more forthcoming about what happens with it’s talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FJ2000 3 Posted November 29 Share Posted November 29 Jessica Kartalija is great pick up for WPVI! She was part of the 6ABC float during today's Thanksgiving parade. Pick ups historically from other stations is rare for 'PVI, but not entirely unprecedented. In addition to the aforementioned Jillian Mele and Jessica Boyington from WCAU, Steve Levy joined from KYW in the 1970s. Also, Jeff Skversky and Jim O'Brien freelanced at WTXF and 'CAU respectively before joining 'PVI. In the case of Jim O'Brien, 'CAU passed him over for a full-time role, and the rest is history!
