TVNewsLover 787 Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 Odd anchor pairs today: Jackie anchored with Johnny Archer at 4, but Jim was solo at 5 and 6 (and I presume 7). Jackie was back with Jim at 11.
G2000 30 Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 This morning Frances Wang is anchoring solo.

Danny Freeman handled the 11am yesterday. On a related note, Bill must be losing it. Yesterday he referred to Katie (who was filling in for Sheila) as Sheila. Today he referred to Frances as Rosemary. Edited September 16, 2022 by TVNewsLover 1 1

TVNewsLover 787 Posted November 9, 2022 Posted November 9, 2022 Jackie was missing tonight for election coverage.
PhillyWatch 240 Posted December 8, 2022 Posted December 8, 2022 Jim Rosenfield exiting later this month. I thought he was a definite upgrade over Tim Lake. Curious if he'll end up in some capacity at WNBC or within NBC News.

Keith? Johnny? 3
PhillyWatch 240 Posted December 8, 2022 Posted December 8, 2022 Personally, I don't think Keith has the gravitas for anything past the 4pm show. Which is not to say he's bad, but I believe he shines brightest on the earlier shows. Aside from him... I'm not even really familiar with who they may have in-house to serve as a full-time replacement. Given 10 is a sort of "corporate flagship" (as opposed to WNBC being the "network flagship"), I could see Comcast searching nationwide for a heavy hitter to help them gun for the top slot as 6 adjusts to a post-Gardner existence.

24994J 5630 Posted December 9, 2022 Posted December 9, 2022 Only 9 years at WCAU, but his time at WNBC and WRC put him over the decade mark.
PhillyWatch 240 Posted December 10, 2022 Posted December 10, 2022 So the writing is on the wall that this was likely a buyout. NBCU will save money in not paying him, but I wonder what the long run will hold for WCAU. Will saving on his salary be worth wrecking 10's stability in evenings, particularly as 6 is about to lose JG? 2 1

Dk_mediaNYC 30 Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Looks like Steve Sosna is leaving NBC 10. Any idea where in DC he’ll be working? Edited January 28, 2023 by Dk_mediaNYC

I’m guessing he either leaves TV or moves to one of the stations in D.C. or Baltimore. It sounds like the move happened because his husband got a new job down there. Steve definitely would have stayed at NBC10 much longer since he filled in the most and did a lot of the severe weather coverage.
abric 181 Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 He is probably coming to NBC 4 as they are still looking for a weekend am meteorologist since Lauryn Ricketts left last year.
TVNewsLover 787 Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 No big loss. Never cared for his presentation. Seems to be going downhill in market size. Went from NYC to Philly, and now to DC. 2

From this ig post it looks like Somara Theodore is leaving, so that opens up weekend nights (and DC-based Saturday Today): https://www.instagram.com/p/CoiMKU0vpfm/
MD TV 284 Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 So it turns out that Steve announced he's going to WJZ in Baltimore, working weekends: https://www.instagram.com/p/CoYT1UEuFRx/?hl=en

TVNewsLover 787 Posted February 21, 2023 Posted February 21, 2023 Lucy and Erin co-anchored 4am-7am. Lucy anchored solo at 11am. Keith anchored solo at 4pm. Johnny anchored solo at 5pm. Keith anchored solo at 6pm. Keith anchored solo at 7pm. Keith will presumably anchor solo at 11pm. Why is it okay for two females to co-anchor together, but it’s considered taboo for two males to co-anchor together? They could’ve had Keith and Johnny co-anchor together. If not, why not keep Keith in the morning, and have Lucy (or Erin) jump to the nightside to co-anchor with Johnny? 2

Even FTVLive mentioned her absence. Jackie was on last night from 5pm and on. Ironically Johnny Archer anchored 4pm solo. They should put Johnny in the mix too. Pair Fred with Jackie and Johnny with Tracy.
