jb542 13 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I just saw another new promo for the new 11pm show that starts tomorrow night. The new set also debuts then and there will be a lot of news in the first 5 minutes that includes the 7 day forecast so viewers don't have to wait until the end of the show for it.

jb542 13 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Do you think that the new FOX29 News at 11pm will get good ratings? I watched it and it is fast paced which makes the broadcast interesting. I think that it will be in 3rd place or a close second because the 10pm ratings are very strong.

He was my favorite sports anchor. I liked how he spoke his mind about what is really happening with Philly sports. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13140-the-fox-29-newsgood-day-philadelphia-thread/page/6/#findComment-157115 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action Newsroom 1283 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Wow. In a week of anchors returning to previous stations (one-two), this is just mind-boggling. I liked Drayton a lot when he was evening anchor during the turn of the decade, so he'll fit very well with the station again during early mornings.

I'll post some up-close pics soon.

Action Newsroom 1283 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Mike Jerrick has been suspended for a week Can't say I'm surprised or shocked. It was inevitable and Mike kinda got what came to him, since it was one of the 7 Words You Can't Say on Television. Thank God it was for a week though. In the possibly immortal words of the great(?) Tommy Wizeau: "IT'S BOWLSHET!" 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13140-the-fox-29-newsgood-day-philadelphia-thread/page/6/#findComment-166379 Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5585 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Innuendo and crude humor is one thing. As a WGN Morning News viewer, I know that stuff well. Straight-up saying 'bullshit' on-air is a suspendable offense, no matter the context. As much as we may agree with Mike's assertion, the suspension is justified.

Had FTVLive not posted it, I bet he'd have been fine. Not if people had been watching that day and contacted fox 29 to tell them what mike said. Im sure the people in the control room heard as well so likely he was talked to about it after the show. 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13140-the-fox-29-newsgood-day-philadelphia-thread/page/6/#findComment-166425 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess 1115 Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Now is he suspended because he said what we all are thinking, his language or both? Language most likely, though I wouldn't be surprised if it's both. Have to agree, as much as he was correct, an outburst like that on the air is suspendable. Now, of course, this was the same company that let Ernie Anastos go pretty unscathed after he told us to keep fornicating poultry. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13140-the-fox-29-newsgood-day-philadelphia-thread/page/6/#findComment-166441 Share on other sites More sharing options...
