SF1964 65 Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Karen Thomas is over at WCAU now. She did the weather this morning and Violeta Yas from Telemundo 62 did the evening forecast.

SF1964 65 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 They also have this, by the way. Maybe it's for the parking lot on "First Alert Weather Days". 1
rkolsen 1686 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 What does it do? I'm not quite sure yet as I just saw a photo. From the looks of it has an external antenna for LiveU (or whatever bonded unit they use), a receive antenna for TV and an uplink dish. Other NBC stations seem to have gotten the Wranglers for weather use with built in marine radar and weather stations but this one just looks like it's for news. [MEDIA=instagram]BAsHgAYLlxc[/MEDIA]

TVNewsLover 787 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Noticed some key personalities have had off for a day or two this week. I wonder if it's an "early" weekend in anticipation of having to work all day Saturday (as in wall-to-wall coverage). 1
WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 Noticed some key personalities have had off for a day or two this week. I wonder if it's an "early" weekend in anticipation of having to work all day Saturday (as in wall-to-wall coverage). Most likely. They gave both Bill Henley and Glenn Schwartz off yesterday. You figure Saturday is going to be an all hands on deck sort of day.
TVNewsLover 787 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Tracy and Vai co-anchoring at 11am. Let the winter chaos begin!!
TVNewsLover 787 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Keith was in for Jim at 4pm today. But guess who filled in for Jim at 6pm? Jim! 2
TVNewsLover 787 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Keith Jones's girlfriend was in a bad accident: http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/former-miss-new-jersey-and-anchor-injured-in-car-accident/164003 Prayers that she recovers fully.
JoseRM303 171 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Cara McCollum has sadly passed away. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/2/22/jersey-anchor-dies-from-injuries-from-car-crash Prayers to her family and friends during this difficult time.

24994J 5630 Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Renee Chenault-Fattah is out. Finally. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/renee-chenault-fattah-out-at-wcau/164543
brianpr3 178 Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 so that means something is about to come down on her?
emmi_18 33 Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Renee Chenault-Fattah is out. Finally. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/renee-chenault-fattah-out-at-wcau/164543 If I'm not mistaken, it has almost been a year since Renee was placed on leave. It is a shame that this is how her time at the station ended. She was there from the switch from CBS to NBC, the competitive rise of 10's news department with her and Mendte, to the GE cutbacks and 10 forced into standardization. Starting last week, I started to notice Jim and Jacqueline at 4, 6, and 11 (which had been the case for a while), and Keith with either Denise or Rosemary at 5. 1

More then likely they'll move Jacqueline off the 5 pm and have her permanent at 4, 6 & 11. Denise or Rosemary or an outsider will replace Jacqueline at 5.
JoseRM303 171 Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 It's too bad that this happened but pretty sure WCAU couldn't wait forever for an outcome.

Starting last week, I started to notice Jim and Jacqueline at 4, 6, and 11 (which had been the case for a while), and Keith with either Denise or Rosemary at 5. Seven months she's been on leave. The Jim and Jackie pairing at 4/6/11 and Keith and Denise/Rosemary/solo at 5 has been going on for months. Honestly, I'd like to see them give Tracy a chance on the 5pm. It'd be nice to have a familiar face in the evening again, and I enjoyed when she was paired with Keith in the mornings. 1
WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted February 24, 2016 Author Posted February 24, 2016 If I were to guess, Rosemary or Denise (I'm leaning towards Denise simply based on seniority) will get the 5PM slot and Lauren Mayk fills whoever's former shift.
rkolsen 1686 Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Was she suspended with pay? If so she must of been a drain of resources. With her seniority they probably could hire a few new reporters or two anchors.
NewsJersey1 2 Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 At least it's resolved. Now they don't have to mention her absence in every related story. 2
