Guest Newshound Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I work in the news deparment - now can we get back on topic? This thread is about nbc10, not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Block 1488 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I worke at the assigncot desk, if you all must know. are you guys happy now? I'm curious — how does booking satellite time work at NBC O&Os? How many ENG trucks does WCAU have? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Block 1488 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 What about stringer tape? What's the current process/policy for it over there? How much, how often, and who approves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Block 1488 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 You're telling me that your news director, in a market #4 newsroom, has to approve of all stringer tape purchases? That's either one really inefficient newsroom with a power tripping news director, or something else doesn't add up here. And you're telling me that an assignment editor of 30 years can't explain the process for booking satellite time? Or that an assignment editor of 30 years thinks that anchors having egos is a "scoop?" Some people here actually do work in newsrooms and can see through this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb542 13 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Feel free to chime in about my posts, guys regarding nbc10. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Where's hulkie d when we need him? lol. I look up to you hulkie d, you're my idol and hero, wherever you are. What are the ratings in Philadelphia news? Is it like 6abc,then nbc then fox then cbs?

jb542 13 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Looking at the latest ratings book, 6abc is number 1, but nbc10 is coming in second. overall, 10's viewership is up. Ric harris has a plan to get us to number 1, that's what he said when he first arrived and the entire newsroom was called in to a staff meeting. So, the ratings are like this, 6 is number 1, 10 number 2, kyw number 3, and wtxf is dead last. Why is fox always ending up in last place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsfan6 22 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Fox is number 3 in the night news race and #1 and #2 between 7-10am ...#2 and #3 between 4-7am ... You apparently don't read the ratings. Also 30 years on the assignment desk with no promotion? Making 30K for 30 years...maybe an investment in a new career? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamv2 21 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 It's ok newshound. Nobody hates you, just nobody believes you work at 10. Instead of spending so much time trying to prove you do, you should just forget it and share your perspective as fan of local news, instead of an insider.

rkolsen 1678 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Just a quick question to see who you are who you say you are: Once WCAU finishes converting their receive sites how many HD ENG will they be able to handle at once? (I asked during a periscope Q&A one morning at 4AM. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianpr3 173 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Newshound if you ever dealt with Jim Rosenfield how is he and from when i remembered him in nyc he never got his fairshake in there because at wcbs they kept changing and at WNBC his path to 11pm was/is still blocked by chuck scarborugh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1678 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 There's no way the anchors on the Pariscope stream knew what this question meant.I was talking to a producer who was in their ingest room who asked the technician how many they could handle. But I asked how long does it take for the signal to go through Encompass in Atlanta and back? And the anchor answered they were not hubbed even though the monitor listed the different Encompass feeds they were getting (one for OTA and another for Comcast).

Guest Newshound Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 From now on, I'll just post as an outsider from nbc10. Sorry for the problems. Chime in guys. Did you see chris cato co-anchoring tonight? Rosemary connors was with him at 4, and jackie was with him at 5. Keith jones was out, or something, and so was Jim Rosenfield. I think it's interesting that 10 didn't just have jackie and rosemary co-anchoring 4-6, which they have done before. Thoughts? chime in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Newshound Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Just checked chris cato's twitter -- he's back on air at 4 am tomorrow. yikes. They must be have been really short staffed today. But, this is good news -- I think this could mean, some day, cato being one of their main evening anchors. I think he's very good. Do you all agree _/ disagree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Newshound Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I meant to post this. When I turned on the tv Sunday night, once again, Michelle grossman was doing the forcast. Brittney did weekend mornings again this weekend. Doesn't this seem strange? It seems odd to me like I said before. Some weekends, they each will alternate between weekend mornings and weekend nights. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsLover 727 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I wonder why they don't have Rosemary fill in in the AM and have Tracy sub in the evenings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Newshound Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Great question, i'm not sure why they don't give Tracy a shot at the 4 pm as a fill in. However, I do like Rosemary Connors, but, that's just me. I think Rosemary and Jim are good together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmi_18 33 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Looks like NBC10 brought someone out of retirement from the last Philly Papal Visit and seems to be filing reports throughout the week. http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/328571211.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Newshound Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Nbc10 added another reporter. Audrie Kline-thomas joins next Monday, as a general assignment reporter, according to tvspy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Newshound Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Nbc10 has stated on air their nonstop papal coverage will start saturday at 6 am. Also, Any word if nbc10 cameramen and tech people will strike? Jeff Blumenthal from the philly business journal said a few days ago a wcau strike was still possible. any word on that? just curious.
