NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Honestly it doesn't really matter how popular and amazing you were at WABC, WNYW and Good Day is a completely different story and audience. It's pretty sad too because Lori is an amazing anchor but just not fit for loyal Good Day viewers.

nynewslover 277 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I know I'm gonna get attacked for this but I don't know how well it's going to work with an all female line up.. I know it shouldn't matter but it does. If this is true I really don't know what Lori and her agent were thinking.. still hoping this is somehow wrong and Lori winds up on evenings with Steve or Ernie.

Daybreak 288 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I'm waiting until Fox 5 confirms the news before I make a judgment. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15868-lori-stokes-leaves-wabc/page/10/#findComment-185000 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainave 606 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Assuming that article is true (Lori starts on-air in Greg's place on Monday), it seems pretty odd (if not stupid) that WNYW would stick her in the chair without having her first become familiar to the audience (either as a reporter, a fill-in anchor, or at least by running promos). Â So, I too will wait for Fox 5 to confirm the news before believing it.

Agreed but when they added Jen and Sukanya to the early mornings they announced it in a tweet the night before. I will say this morning they were talking about Greg's wedding and stuff and seemed like nothing was changing anytime soon.

NowBergen 681 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Odd report today in NewsBlues. States Greg Kelly is moving to 6 and 10. It goes on to say it is making room for Dave Price. And Ernie Anastos will continue to anchor at 5 (?) and Harry Martin who is being displace will continue to anchor on WWOR (??????). It is linked to a Newsday article. Wasn't this the moves that were made several years ago. And didn't work out. Didn't Harry Martin leave 4 years ago when WWOR began their "Chasing Crap" show? Definitely somehting is way off here.

Vlad 325 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Yeah who knows what will happen at this point. I'd say we just have to wait and see, we can only speculate so much before our own speculation itself stops making sense haha.

nydem2015 52 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Very unlikely but imagine if Steve Lacy goes to GDNY and Lori takes over for him at 5 and 10?

nynewslover 277 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Apparently Steve is only filling in today and tomorrow.. does that mean Lori starts Wednesday? Or will someone else finish out the rest of the week.. I don't think it would be a good idea to have Suki or Jen fill in.. that might turn people off if they think of of the "new" people are Greg's replacement (they don't seem to be too popular on social media) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15868-lori-stokes-leaves-wabc/page/10/#findComment-185393 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newsjunker95 28 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Technically Lori is anticipated to start in November. Steve belongs in the evenings. And people wouldn't want to waste their time watching an obnoxious anchor like Suki in the first place. She doesn't relate anything and the singing isn't gong to help. PIX11 did the right thing to fire her. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15868-lori-stokes-leaves-wabc/page/10/#findComment-185395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
