Daybreak 289 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Phil Lipof is going to become an anchor at WCVB.
mountainave 606 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Doesn't surprise me he'd want to return to Boston, but WABC's loss is WCVB's gain. He's very versatile as both an anchor and reporter, and Michelle, Amy, and him made a great weekend team. Now, who will replace him on the weekend?
anchorman 96 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 A big loss for WABC. He could have definitely taken over that weekday morning chair eventually. Him and Michelle are a great team.
BehindNYNews 147 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Big loss for WABC. Toni Yates is his main fill in, I wonder if they would do an all female team again or if they want a male.
nynewslover 280 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Guess they'll have to redo those talent opens already lmao! But anyway he was great on WABC. I don't see them promoting within I don't think they'll do an all female team. Even tho WCBS has it at that time. I guess well wait and see
BehindNYNews 147 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I agree nynewslover, I have a feeling they will get someone from outside the station.
BehindNYNews 147 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 In my opinion, the only males that may have a chance to anchor weekend mornings are Dray Clark, Josh Einiger, Matt Kozar or Marcus Solis. With that, if I had to choose, I would like it to be Matt Kozar if they are going in house. Besides these people, Toni Yates, Carolina Leid or Lauren Glassburg are the only female candidates I see having a chance, mostly because the others you may think of, are probably too important to work the weekends. That all said, I have a feeling they will try to get someone from outside the station.
MorningNews 1500 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Is Lisa Colagrassi still at channel 7? Why can't she replace Phil?
24994J 5630 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Is it possible that Clark may have been hired with the weekend slot on management's mind, but the terms of Lipof's exit not yet finalized?
BehindNYNews 147 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Is Lisa Colagrassi still at channel 7? Why can't she replace Phil? For the exact reason I stated above. She is way to important to have her work weekends and 3 days a week. Is it possible that Clark may have been hired with the weekend slot on management's mind, but the terms of Lipof's exit not yet finalized? Thats what I'm wondering but they are also down people from Jen Maxfield and Jeff Pegues.

Is it possible that Clark may have been hired with the weekend slot on management's mind, but the terms of Lipof's exit not yet finalized? Thought that too...but their stable of reporters is thinner than usual.
BehindNYNews 147 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I knew you'd bring up Kozar...again. He's nowhere near anchor material. Are you related to him? No, I have never met the guy but he reminds me of Phil and I could see him as a morning anchor. And there is nothing wrong with brining him up, its a forum for a reason, to discuss. And your opinion is not the be all and end all so relax.

nynewsguy 66 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 I agree nynewslover, I have a feeling they will get someone from outside the station. There's already been talks for a internal female to replace Phil. One whom Michelle and Amy already have chemistry with.
mountainave 606 Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 There's already been talks for a internal female to replace Phil. One whom Michelle and Amy already have chemistry with. You really think they'd replace Phil with Toni and have a three-female team?
anchorman 96 Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 There's already been talks for a internal female to replace Phil. One whom Michelle and Amy already have chemistry with. Maybe the new graphics will launch the same day as the internal female anchor? Oh wait...
IceManNYR 240 Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 WCBS is using 3 women on weekends since Andrea joined Cindy and Vanessa.
24994J 5630 Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Did WNBC ever use three women on weekends?

SuitSnob 19 Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 Oh..they showed when he first started...back when he was still using Windsor knots! LOL I held him to such lofty standards that I really let him have it, because when he fell down he REALLY fell down. I hope Boston is ready to have such a dapper, charming sexy beast unleased on them...
