I googled her (new) name, looking for a demo reel, and most of the results were for a Playboy model/porn star. Already off to a good start. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14121-random-wfld-thread/page/9/#findComment-147031 Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5577 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 [...] blase cupich as "Soup-itch" Like, as of it was 2 separate words? Otherwise, that just sounds like she emphasized the p on the first syllable. Is it coo-pitch? Soo-pitch. She was likely decently close. I saw a few minutes of her this morning, and was not hardly as bad as I expected.

Chicago News Boy 34 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Is it coo-pitch? It's spelt "Cupich" however most reporters pronounce it as "C-Pitch." On second thought, I guess I can't really blame her for the mispronunciation because had it not been for the recent media w/ Cupich, I would probably botch it too. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14121-random-wfld-thread/page/9/#findComment-148834 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1955 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Now Feder is saying this morning that WFLD could be implementing a new 5pm newscast this summer. Should this come into fruition, this would be the last Fox O&O to implement an early evening broadcast. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14121-random-wfld-thread/page/9/#findComment-149054 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 1047 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Piacente is going to have his hands full when he starts next week. I could see him making this new newscast his pet project (which wouldn't be a bad idea). They really are going to have to offer up something drastically different to draw viewers in. Best of luck to them... 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14121-random-wfld-thread/page/9/#findComment-149073 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 1047 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 She just didn't do very well with WNBC and that hurt her. She's not a bad anchor though, this could be a good thing for WFLD because she has experience in a better newsroom than WFLD and maybe can add to the station. Shiba Russell isn't headed to WFLD/Chicago, but WXIA/Atlanta instead. It's unclear if she was deciding between the two stations and picked WXIA or if WFLD wasn't really in the running. FYI: The weekend anchor job posting has been removed from WFLD's site which either means they won't fill it (any time soon) or they found someone (internally or externally).

24994J 5577 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I still think it should've been at 6. They'd be against 3 stations instead of 4, including a very beatable WBBM. They'd also have the 6:30 half hour to themselves. Have Family Feud at 5 as the lead-in and a less-strong, but respectable primetime line-up as the lead-out, and they'd definitely get a few more eyeballs because of those other blocks. Missed opportunity. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14121-random-wfld-thread/page/9/#findComment-154025 Share on other sites More sharing options...
