Someone mentioned it on another board, and checking TitanTV it looks like they’re dropping Judge Judy later this month to launch a 4pm newscast

The Fox 29 Early News started today at 4PM.

And only temporary until Election Day. Listings have Judge Judy going back to the 4pm timeslot after it.

I was watching FOX-29 a few days ago, and noticed something. Why do most of their meteorologists, except for Sue, stand so close to the camera? On most stations, you can at least see from their stomach up. But on Fox-29, when Scott was on, he was so close, to the point you could only see half of his tie. He was taking up the entire left half of the screen! Tonight I watched FOX-29 again, and Sue was on, but at least I could see down to her stomach.

Different folks have different framing, especially if they've transitioned from presenting on a chyron previously to a display behind the back. As long as most of the imagery is seen, that's the most important thing, along with the met's comfort. Also, someone smaller is obviously going to need some zoom so they aren't dwarfed by the background, while a tall man needs their own proportions on-screen.

It has been like that for many years. I can remember watching the station in the early 2010s and the camera was always too close. I thought it was because the green screen wasn’t wide enough and they couldn’t zoom out the camera too far.
