NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Okay, so if you haven't been in the general discussions forum, Dan and Marysol are essentially gone. Marysol is confirmed to be leaving, and Dan's future is uncertain. The morning news will be from 5am-9am, Suki and Kori will be anchoring the entire newscast. This comes only two days after John Muller was announced to be going to the 5&10pm broadcasts. Since this is very significant regarding PIX's future, I felt it deserved its own thread. Discuss the changes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BehindNYNews 143 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Very weird that they hired Rachel Frank for the 4-6am and now they are removing the 4am. I wonder if Rachel is part of a bigger change in the weather department where Rachel takes over for Linda and Linda replaces Mr. G? (One can hope!) Also funny, they go from starting 30min before everyone to 30min after everyone. Just when PIX 11 was getting better, they have to screw with it again. The morning news GREW! It improved during sweeps. And they have to screw with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like Linda to do the entire morning, Craig Allen to take over for Mr. G, and Rachel Frank to assume the weekend role (or Joe Cioffi or Chris Knowles). Linda is too hyper and adapted to mornings to go to evenings all of the sudden. Plus, without even bringing it up, people have told me that they watch WPIX and always refer to Linda Church like she's the weather icon of morning news. But I'll take anything over Mr. G.

cbs2idiots 21 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 What a shit show. Marysol was the only thing PIX had going for them in the mornings. I agree, she was one of my highlights in the Mornings. I Don't understand why they are holding on to Suki, she needs to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's way past her prime and has become so irritating to watch. PIX should have dumped her years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nynewslover 269 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 http://youtu.be/XlrjvFP87vI PIX11 News will still air from 4-9am (with Suki and Kori) it is NOT changing to 5am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIXfan 34 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 If it isn't one thing with WPIX, it's another. GM Rich Graziano has to dump Mark Effron. He is the gift that keeps on giving--to WNYW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The change is supposedly scheduled for June 16, so they could just be advertising this for now. They aren't going to remove the 4-5am part until it happens, plus this promo is likely temporary since the new traffic reporter is missing.

BehindNYNews 143 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 So it looks like Dan said goodbye to the anchor desk this morning. See this video at 3:00...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAeucHlcBqg So Marysol left yesterday and now Dan is going back to reporting based on the video.

Look at the station's personalities. Outside of Mr. G, there are very few men that have spent any legitimate amount of time at the station that can be blamed for the ratings woes. I think it's by sheer coincidence that the station's prominent talent are predominantly female, for the sake of this argument. I seriously doubt there was any sexist-related ill will in Bamagator's original statement, just fact. Why do all the new people get blamed and canned when the veterans might be the problem?

WizOz 3 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Suki is the one over the hiller, that has to go no appeal, overweight, and non-professional, must go! Tamsen and Linda are the only two that draw viewers.Marysol, Jill and Lynne White were major losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
