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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF1964 57 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Morning anchor Chris Murphy is moving to San Diego. His last day on Fox 29 is Sept 30. Adweek had mentioned it last week and Chris confirmed on his Twitter account today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action Newsroom 1150 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.

Action Newsroom 1150 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Right now, as we speak, I'm inside the main news studios of Fox 29; The Q is filming it's Halloween Show, and I'm in the audience. I'll post some up-close pics soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said what we were thinking, and he was absolutely right. Never loved him more after that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action Newsroom 1150 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5275 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.

TSSZNews 1046 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 One small thing... The clip in question was from MONDAY. And nobody cared until it went viral on Tuesday morning. Had FTVLive not posted it, I bet he'd have been fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1678 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Now is he suspended because he said what we all are thinking, his language or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1110 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
