24994J 5577 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 They do a walkover shot whenever she is in the studio. That's one of the downfalls of the robocams, you need a manual set-up to get shots like these.

Spring Rubber 703 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 The persistent Twitter handle on the bug is interfering with the text on the double box graphics.

Spring Rubber 703 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 So they're doing weather around :17 and :47 during the 4 PM hour, which is akin to the weekend 5 PM show, but during the weekday 5 PM hour, they're doing weather at the more traditional :30. Weird. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13616-wgn-debuting-4pm-newscast-this-fall/page/3/#findComment-114331 Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex979 119 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I kind of liked the newsroom format; it was interesting. I was hoping they'd keep it for one hour of the program. Oh well.

Spring Rubber 703 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 They should do the 4-6 AM show from the newsroom or something to break up the monotony of being at the same desk for 6 straight hours.

alex979 119 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Still miss Lourdes at 5:00 PM. She's a first-rate anchor, and is more likable than Micah IMO. Lourdes was filling for Robin yesterday and today on the morning news, and she did excellent. She works really well with Larry and Paul.

Spring Rubber 703 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Sarah Jindra filling in for Erin on Thursday morning after doing the Evening News the rest of the week before that. I sure hope for her sake that this isn't a permanent arrangement and that they're constantly gonna have her swinging her shift 12 hours around the clock whenever Erin is off. I certainly wouldn't want to be swinging shifts around by 12 hours on a regular basis if I had the choice. What was Sarah doing before September 8th when she wasn't filling in on the Morning News? Was she working for CLTV, or was she freelance? I guess if she was freelance, working these swing shifts in a full-time role would be better than nothing? It would make more sense to find a new fill-in traffic reporter (perhaps a current general assignment reporter who could do this role when needed?) while allowing Sarah to stay exclusively on the Evening News.

ChiCubsFan 34 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I was surprised too. Does anyone else think that Erin takes too much time off?
