Yeah, I went to college in the Lehigh Valley in the early 2000s and that newscast existed back then. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/59/#findComment-303998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanSolo 143 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I happened to like having it on then based on my personal schedule. Sure it got truncated or bumped for sports semi-regularly, but it was a convenient time for some of us. There is ABC sports starting at 12:30 the next few weeks, but rather than the 1/2 hour version they used to run ahead of NBA Countdown, it’s informercials on the schedule. Oh well. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/59/#findComment-303999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJ2000 6 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) I'm more surprised that they dumped the Sunday noon show. I mainly thought that show was there so they could have live countdown-to-kickoff coverage of Eagles game days. They used to have Sports Director Gary Papa live at the Linc and other tailgating coverage, but that was back in the day. For those not up to see the weekday morning shows since the schedule change, Action News Mornings has started at 4am for special coverage a few times, and Matt Pellman anchors the weather segment for the 4:30am half hour. Karen Rogers (or Payton Domschke when she fills in) does not come on until 5am.

HanSolo 143 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 My schedule means the 4:30 is the portion I watch, and Pellman does fine with that weather segment. Seems a good way to handle it. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/59/#findComment-304102 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanSolo 143 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 They definitely didn’t. After populating the advance schedule with specific infomercials—by name, not just paid programming — for multiple weeks, it reverted back. Good for them. 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/59/#findComment-304233 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer78 63 Posted Tuesday at 07:52 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:52 PM Did they change the open to "Philadelphia's Leading News Program" -- not sure if this changed with the new Spring intro, but definitely something I noticed yesterday, at least at 5PM. 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/59/#findComment-304818 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanSolo 143 Posted Tuesday at 08:52 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:52 PM I don't think it was with the spring intro a week or so ago. It noticed it on the 5 am news today, but didn't watch yesterday in the evening or night. The VO sounded ever so slightly different with the "Action News..." beginning - just a rerecording with the Philadelphia vs Delaware Valley. Eh, whatever. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/59/#findComment-304821 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action Newsroom 1262 Posted Tuesday at 10:22 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:22 PM It's the definition of "acquired taste", that's for certain. It's really gonna take getting used to. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13040-the-channel-6-action-news-thread/page/59/#findComment-304825 Share on other sites More sharing options...
