Guest localcelebrity2u Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 What's next? But also- do you think most young viewers really care or even notice who's delivering the news- they just watch it for the information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderJay27 27 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 What's next? But also- do you think most young viewers really care or even notice who's delivering the news- they just watch it for the information? I think you're right to an extent...This is a totally travisty and not what John had in mind when he left Philly to go to WCBS. There's a roster spot open here in Philly at 'CAU. Come on back to where you enjoyed many years of love and success! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amra 130 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Look at that... keeping the young incompetent team together (Chris, Kristine, Lonnie) for 5 and 11, while the strong experienced team (Dana, Jim?, John) at 6. Too bad Dana has to deal with Elliott at noon. I think that Dana likes Elliott. They get along pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVNewsWatcher 6 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I really wonder, what are people from the other stations saying about WCBS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbs2idiots 21 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Just for those moves, I hope WCBS sinks. I hope reruns on 5, 9 and 11 beat them with a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistroh 0 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I have know through excellent sources for MONTHS that for their own reasons, Dunn and Friend dislike and wish to discard Bolaris. He's been reassigned to weekends and will be gone when his contract expires in Oct. Possible scenario: Cheeseball G will be gone and replaced by Bolaris. Ch. 11 (Bob Harris, "Gee,") has in recent years been a home for old has-been weather clowns who are not meteorologists. Bolaris has no degree in meteorology. Studied basic weather at Chanute AFB, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying is he that bad, that you take him through all these changes, demote him and insult him by putting someone who doesn't have a clue about weather in his old spot?

cbs2idiots 21 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I love Richard Huff article, it really summed up Lonnie Quinn to show how terrible he is. Dag Huff look like was so pissed, he also called John Eliiot a goofball. For Jim, Dana and John it is sad to see people with experience, and trust get thrown away just like a dirty piece of garbage, and I really hope this station goes down to a new low.

Amra 130 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Another stupid move on CBS 2. They should hire then Diann Burns (See Chicago Board). I do too wish that Noticias 41 Univision beat the shit out of WCBS. Dunn & Friend are letting their personal problems in the decision of the direction of their newscasts? That's too bad, if you have problems with one of your employees on personal basis or whatever, let them wait for you outside. Inside, work with professionalism. And the gains on Ch.2 News at 5 are because of Judy, not of pretty suits and empty headed ho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If WCBS had at least something in their head, they should read Huff's article. He should be ND of CBS 2, and not a frmr. producer IIRC from WABC.

canitgetanyworse 0 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Here's a gem from Lonnie from tonight's 11pm: "The city is warmer because of the heat island affect, (so far so good)..... unlike in the suburbs where all the trees can absorb the heat..... (LMAO- oops, guess he misunderstood his spoon-feeder) That's what you get for hiring a puppet and trying to imply knowledge you don't have.

cbs2idiots 21 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Thank God we have choices. I have not watch Quinn or the rest of the empty heads at 11. If Quinn is awful just switch the channel to Lee Goldberg, or Janice Huff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieboy247 42 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I think he should continue with CBS and head over to KYW. John would do a great job with them. Where do you guys think he should go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyfla 196 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 think he should continue with CBS and head over to KYW. John would do a great job with them I don't think there is room for him at KYW even though his old buddies from WCAU (NBC 10), Larry Mendte and Kathy Orr are there. I don't think they would screw Kathy over and demote her unless they could work out where John does 4 and 6 and Kathy does 4:30 and 11. FOX 29 already has arguably the most accurate meterologist in the market, Rob Guarino so I can't see John go there. NBC 10 would be the logical choice because Hurricane Schwartz just isn't really "attractive" chief met material for the market and/or Doug Kammerer could get demoted and send Hurricane back to weekends. Don't even question WPVI because 1. They have no room for him and 2. just like their New York sister WABC they do not hire "rejects" or "castoffs" from other stations in the market, and once you leave WPVI or WABC don't think about making a comeback there.

watsgood 0 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 The thought of replacing Schwartz w/Bolaris sounds too good to be true. If NBC10 even thinks about demoting Kammerer, they're nuts. The guy has the education, the looks and most definitely the personality. If anything, he should get more air time. Other than the "Chief Dud," Schwartz, other bores in the Philly area are: Dave Warren (NBC10), Maria LaRosa (CBS3) and anyone Fox puts on when Guarino is off.

WCAUTVNBC10 408 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I think Bowtie would return to weekend mornings where he was before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNews 54 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Don't even question WPVI No one did. According to the article John didn't even consider WPVI, only the CBS, NBC and FOX affiliates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
