cg41386 132 Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 It is about KYW’s new 4pm newscast. 2
NEOMatrix 1307 Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 Alrighty Julius. I'm going to be blunt and explain to you why WTXF and KYW will keep running newscasts despite "ratings woes". MONEY! As long as WTXF and KYW can sell ad rates at a decent amount and turn a profit, then ratings won't matter as much as you and I would think. That's why WTXF and KYW expanded its news output because they can keep all the revenue in-house rather than sharing it with a syndicator. 5

Jess 1116 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Haven't really watched Fox 29/Good Day in awhile but I noticed they're now using a cut of Beyond for their breaking news stinger. Not sure when that started. Edited October 25, 2018 by Guest 2

Not sure when that started. About a year ago..... They actually use two different cues from Beyond for stingers. One for "Breaking News" and for "Developing Story". Edited October 25, 2018 by Guest 5
PhillyWatch 240 Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 Yesterday was apparently Dave Schratwieser's last day. I didn't catch the evening shows to see if anything was done but he did stop by Good Day for a retrospective and look down memory lane 1
JULIUS MAY 3 Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 Fox 29 will never be relevant and be successful in the ratings as long as 6 and 10 are around doing news. 29 has a lot of issues they need to fix with their news division . 1

JULIUS MAY 3 Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) How was FOX 29's news ratings overall during November sweeps? Edited November 27, 2018 by JULIUS MAY
PhillyWatch 240 Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 It looks like WTXF has launched a version of KSAZ's "News Now" rolling news stream on their Youtube page. I saw Steve Keeley post a screenshot from it yesterday and I believe they start streaming when Good Day ends at 10 with an undetermined end time based on the last few days' streams archived on the page. Actually, scrolling back on their YT page it appears this actually launched on July 11th. I stream Good Day every morning and have seen zero mention of this on-air or during breaks.
PhillyWatch 240 Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) And that's a wrap on Iain Paige who will move on from WTXF at the end of the month after 6 years with the station http://www.philly.com/entertainment/tv/iain-page-leaves-fox--20190108.html Now if only they can somehow make Lucy exclusive to the 11pm show I might try watching their 10pm again Edited January 8, 2019 by PhillyWatch Name spelling
JoseRM303 171 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Shaina Humphries is joining WXTF as 6 & 11 pm anchor: https://www.adweek.com/tvspy/philly-newest-main-anchor-comes-from-iowa/211946

Shaina, in my opinion, has become a rising star in this business, especially since becoming one at KCCI after launching their 9:00 p.m. news. 1
PhillyWatch 240 Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 Shaina was introduced at the top of the 9am hour this morning on Good Day and is hanging at the desk for Valentines Day talk. She'll make her debut on the anchor desk at 6 & 11 starting next Monday
Jess 1116 Posted February 22, 2019 Author Posted February 22, 2019 Interesting news today: Fox 29 is moving their locally produced game show, The ClassH-Room, to 6:30pm weeknights starting March 4. Episode here if you want to see: Either the show is doing really well at noon, or it’s a cheaper alternative to Page Six TV. Either way it’s actually nice to see. It’s good to see a local station produce more than dozens of hours of news. 2
TSSZNews 1052 Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 I’m thinking it might be just to get some more eyeballs on the show - or at least eyeballs from its intended audience, who I strongly suspect can’t check out the show at midday because they’re at school or parents are at work. 1
PhillyWatch 240 Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Take into account that "Top 30" recently ended production so they have some wiggle room in the schedule. 6:30 has become one of the slots where FOX O&O's have done test runs in recent past. Maybe they're testing the waters for potentially pairing it with "25 Words Or Less" come fall somewhere on the schedule.
PhillyWatch 240 Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 And with the writing on the wall for the past few months, it's now official- Lucy Noland is leaving FOX29 May 30th Philly.com article

His bio is still on their website, too.
FiveNews 380 Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 ...meanwhile...the sun will continue to rise and WPVI will be the king of the Philly market.
TVNewsLover 787 Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 I actually am excited about the new anchors and think they will work out great. Although perhaps they should hire a second anchor team in the future for evenings. I just hope that WTXF tweaks the presentation a bit.
