ED2 144 Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Was this the first time Sean Lewis has filled in for Larry or Dan?
24994J 5676 Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Was this the first time Sean Lewis has filled in for Larry or Dan? He filled in frequently pre-Ponce, and on some holidays, but I'd say it's been awhile. Marcus filling in for Dan is the other surprise.

I mentioned pages ago on this thread that Marcus filled in for Dan on Thanksgiving morning because the latter was doing the parade. 2

24994J 5676 Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 It's hard to keep track, but I believe that this newest resizing of height and text is version 5 of the scoreboard. Not as tall as the original, which would still be the best, in terms of keep proportions consistent through the package, but it's infinitely better and easier to read than the shrinky dink model from two weeks ago. Now maybe they can leave it be for awhile. 1
Spring Rubber 724 Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 Aren't we still in Sweeps? Surprised to see Joe Donlan and Tom Skilling off tonight. Maybe they caught an ugly May sickness like I did this weekend.

Spring Rubber 724 Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 Joe started at 6pm. Ben apparently did the 5pm because the 4pm news was a quick 7-minute broadcast that was shortened by the Cubs game. Lourdes, on the other hand, only stayed on the air for the quick 7-minute newscast and finished after that. Micah started at 5pm. Looks like Tom Skilling is off the entire night.
alex979 119 Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 So have they dropped the weather-in-the-first-five-minutes thing at 10? Watching for the first time in a while tonight and Tom@Ten didn’t come on until after the first commercial break. He even joked that they should call it Tom at 10:15 now.

I was never a fan of the “full-forecast-in-the-first-five-minutes” thing to begin with. If they’re planning on keeping it that way, good. 1

This does sound like either a permanent change or a sweeps change. It seems better this way.
alex979 119 Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 Mike Janssen is the successor to Jim Ramsey: [MEDIA=twitter]998662163483983872[/MEDIA] 2
24994J 5676 Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 It's about time. After a few weeks of Ivory, McGill, Hamernik, and even Kolkmeyer, Janssen has been far and away the most frequent placeholder on weekend evenings. Good for him. Wouldn't this be his regular shift for CLTV, or was he a fill-in until Jim retired?

Wouldn't this be his regular shift for CLTV, or was he a fill-in until Jim retired? As I recall, his on-air shift was weekday afternoons on CLTV. I can only assume he'll still retain that role 2-3 days a week while Tim McGill does the other days. 3
Spring Rubber 724 Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Revision #9037 to the sports graphics: the lower thirds have been changed to a more traditional format instead of trying to fit everything on a single line. This is much better.

MorningNews 1544 Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Random but - Larry Potash is one of my favorite anchormen on television in any market. Love that guy. 2
ChiCubsFan 34 Posted June 21, 2018 Author Posted June 21, 2018 Haven’t watched WGN consistently but in the last few weeks I haven’t seen Skilling at all. Has he been gone for that long or do I just keep missing him?
