NBC Nightly News

[RCA TK47 277]

I'm left wondering if a few weeks ago somebody said, "Let's try Nightly from here some night and see how it works out".  A handful of rehearsal shows later... and there ya go.  The fact that the Today show sunrise element is still in that last shot above during Nightly makes me wonder.  That marble floor though... not. good.

Kind of has a European feel too it. The sunrise element is very out of place in a wide shot though - is that built in to the wall? I'm a bit disappointed to see them move out of 3C. The set still worked very well and has aged nicely.

Tom Llmas is anchoring Nightly News tonight for the second night in a row. He has become the primary fill-in on Today and is having a growing presence on Nightly. His new NBC News Now primetime show is expected to launch this fall, so this wide-ranging presence on the linear channel is great marketing for that. 

 

And NBC News has revealed the name for the show... Top Story with Tom Llamas. The show debuts September 20.

While Nightly News has made itself comfortable at its home inside Studio 1A, it's previous space of Studio 3C (now designated as a portion of 3A) has a new tenant -- Ayman Mohyeldin's new weekend show on MSNBC.

Meghan Rafferty is the new EP.

Someone mentioned it recently and boy they weren’t kidding. NN needs to sort out and clean up the camera operations in Studio 1A. Tonight they were doing way too much and it just looks sloppy with all the active moving around.

[MorningNews 1437]

Anybody know what studio NN is broadcasting from tonight? Doesn’t look like 1A.

It said Los Angeles on the screen on the little desk. He broadcasts from there with regularity.

Shepard Smith filling in for Lester Friday.

Very interesting...

[MediaZone4K 2158]

He needs to jump channels and guest host for Norah O'Donell, LOL.

Norah O'Donnell is the master controller of the entire CBS network. Who can replace her?

Not really… Conventional wisdom was that Shep was going to get a chance to sub for Lester (at some point) when he was hired. Wouldn’t read too much into this.

I wish it was Shepard. He would've been great as anchor and mananging editor for the CBSEN. The wild card IMO is still BW.

What about his show? Who’s going to anchor “The News” tonight?

He'll take a 90-second break, and then do his regular show, too.

I think the news will be anchored from 30 Rock tonight it will be interesting to see how that works.    It could also be that Tyler Matheson or someone else just fills in over on CNBC. 

[jrogo 196]

Shep did a great job, wish we’d see him more, I really hope this make someone at MSNBC realize he should be a part of any upcoming changes. 
He is anchoring his show tonight and appears to be in 1A using a very tight shot in front of the weather wall. 

[MediaZone4K 2158]

Shep is anchoring in what appears to be his studio on CNBC as of 7pm ET.

 

I see he was doing the trademark shouting voice trend that the Evening News does now. Liked his enthusiastic delivery during the March madness segment.

Nope, he's still in 1A for his show.

Not sure where the shouting trend began, I suspect ABC News on either WNT or GMA. Every newscast might have to add a little dose of sensationalism to make it more interesting, but  the shouting  just overdramatizes the news and makes it more stressful. Especially when it's the first thing you're watching in the morning or going to sleep at night. Add this to the every story for the first 15 minutes is breaking news habit.

 

I suppose this is the popular cadence now, much like the Dan Rather type straight--unemotional--monotone delivery was the wave back in the 60s and 70s.

Last Wednesday, due to the tragedy in Uvalde, NBC Nightly News did an hour-long edition with the second half-hour optional, depending on the affiliate.

 

I remember in the 2010's, any time something really big happened, all of the Big Three evening news programs would do optional hour editions. I specifically remember Sandy Hook, the 2013 Moore, Oklahoma tornadoes, the 2016 San Bernardino shooting, and the death of Nelson Mandela all being covered in special hour-long editions. However, I don't recall any of the three doing this since the 2017 Las Vegas shooting. Was this the first time any of them did an hour edition since then?

There were many 1-hour editions during the early days of the pandemic.

[MorningNews 1437]

Maybe not officially dubbed as one hour editions, I believe the evening newscasts were extended during the impeachment process of 45th. Also not a planned hour long edition but the evening shows remained on the air beyond 6:30pm covering the dramatic flight home from Walter Reed to the White House after the president’s Covid stay.

[G2000 30]

Tonight they are devoting the whole show to one night of gun violence in America. They had Kate Snow and other reporters around different cities showing things that happened last night.
