nynewslover 280 Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Did Audrey do weather tonight? She was in for Mike this morning
fox5fan 17 Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Yes, Audrey is pulling double duty today! J. Lo concert late last night with Ines, Ro and Greg, waking up for 4:30… and then doing tonight… Must be exhausted!
anchorman 96 Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Did Audrey do weather tonight? She was in for Mike this morning she did GDNY and the 5pm and 6pm, Nick will be in tonight for the 10pm.
BehindNYNews 147 Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 All I know is I love when Christina is on. I really hope when Ernie retires that she takes the 6pm. She is fantastic. It is strange that everyone was off.. Steve, Ernie and Nick… It almost makes me wonder IF something is happening behind the scenes... Ernie was on the air tonight. I saw him anchoring.
fox5fan 17 Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Whoops, my bad. For some reason, I thought Christina said in for Ernie… I may have not been listening! Sorry for that.
easttxtv 7 Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 How old are most of the Fox O&O sets? 6, 7 years? KDFW's isn't too dusty looking, but I guess they could stand an update.

nynewslover 280 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 The first episode of Friday Night Live is on right now. Dari and Steve are the hosts. It has a GDNY feel to it. It's really not bad at all. I wonder when the other changes are gonna take place?
nynewslover 280 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 I have a feeling the new line up for 5&6 will start tonight. Saw a commercial during the Simpsons saying watch FOX5 news at 5 with Steve Lacy and Dari Alexander then the Fox5 news at 6 with Ernie Anastos
NYNewsCoverage 308 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Just turned on Fox 5 and no anchor changes today
bamagator 5 Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I don't feel this experiment will be anything like WPIX at all, or at least let's hope. I think this will actually help Fox 5 more than harm them. Unless WPIX makes drastic changes (bringing Jim Watkins back to the station, adding Kaity back to weekdays, demoting Tamsen and Suki, etc.) I think WPIX will stay the way it is. Fox 5, I feel, is becoming a better station as the years progress. However, I wish they chose to get rid of Dari, that needs to be the first order of business IMHO. But this is a step in the right direction IMO. Speaking of Dari does anyone have the same feeling that Dari has a chip on her shoulder all the time
24994J 5630 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 So, um...well...yeah... http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/wnyw-goes-for-positive-spin-in-revamped-600-p-m-newscast_b123325 This should be...interesting?
CircleSeven 1960 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 So, um...well...yeah... http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/wnyw-goes-for-positive-spin-in-revamped-600-p-m-newscast_b123325 This should be...interesting? This should be designed for an earlier newscast (like the 4pm and I'm not saying they should have an earlier newscast). 6pm is one of your prime newscasts that should have a hard news format. Not saying to eliminate the bantering, but having those kinds of element's that's mostly designed for an earlier newscasts, I'm not sure if many folks would be glued to your news. Well, we'll see what happens.
NYNewsCoverage 308 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Ummm..."something tells me I'm onto something NOT good". Maybe I'm wrong, but we'll have to see.
tvnewsjunkie 7 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Watching the new 6 pm broadcast and its kinda nice. I think making the Good Day couch set look like Ernie's office by adding lamps, an office desk and pictures is kinda over kill. The interview is kinda refreshing at night time. I hope they still use the cool camera angeles that they used when Steve hosted the show.
nynewslover 280 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 It's different. I like it.. The "office desk" isn't bad. They have little props in the background. I like it. I think Ernie has the right personality to do this. Layed back and professional at the same time.
NYNewsCoverage 308 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 It has a very "summer" feel to it, which I like. Not saying "turn it on now, it's amazing", but I'm kind of impressed. It's around 6:11, and Anastos is already sitting on his desk. So you can tell they're trying to be very layed back. Also, although I don't see it happening, is this a preview of new graphics for Fox 5?
NYNewsCoverage 308 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Here are some screenshots from the 6pm show: I like the new standup area for the weather. Overall, the show is not bad. I could see it potentially beating WCBS and WNBC with the right advertisements.
cbs2newengland 72 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Interesting format. I guess Fox is trying to be different in the news formats since local news apparently is a commoditized business. WFXT here in the Boston area has changed their 5:00 format within the last few months with a format of local sit down political stories and discussions. Their problem is they don't have a good sit in area like the other O&Os because their set is the lifesized newsplex. They do have that second/third floor mezzaine they could use again. Anyways back to NYC, be very interesting how this format works and be a ratings ad/disvantage.
