FiveNews 329 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 With World Cup starting today, KTTV has moved its morning program "Good Day LA" to sister station KCOP. Nice to see the station didn't throw in the towel on local morning news while the World Cup is going on. Any other FOX stations moving their morning shows to sister stations? Feel free to move thread if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningNews 1293 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Any LAers willing to break down the Fox 11 Morning News and Good Day LA anchor line ups? Tony McEwing apparently moved to GDLA to replace Steve Edwards alongside Megan Colograssi but does he also do the Fox 11 Morning News? What is Rita Garcia's role? I tried to look at it on the Fox LA website but they don't have any information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1847 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 But notice in the Titan TV listings its only from 7:00-9:00 a.m. which means the usual 9:00 a.m. hour is not aired and KCOP is airing Wendy Williams instead. Plus, the FOX 11 Morning News on KTTV is delayed to 10:30 a.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorningNews 1293 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 That is insane. I guess Tony and Araksya anchoring 4-7 am while Elex and Megan anchor 7-10 am is too difficult. Doesn't make any sense that Rita does one hour. KTLA I'm sure has a breeze destroying the competition when they can't even put together a formidable line up.

24994J 5277 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 That's a messy and bloated arrangement. Seven anchors over 8.5 hours (7 of them on-air) is silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveNews 329 Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 KTTV's News Director had a long tenure at KTLA previously. I believe she was executive producer and Assistant ND. The anchor lineup reminds me of when KTLA's Morning News went by the "KTLA Morning Show" moniker. The 9am show had three anchors...Michaela Pereira, Jessica Holmes and Cher Calvin. It went by the name "The Nine." Seems like KTTVs ND is bringing up some of her old tricks to KTTV. Unfortunately, "The Nine" wasn't successful and they abandoned it shortly thereafter.

SFTV 484 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I forgot KTLA had that 3 anchor format. KTVU uses the 3 anchor format for “The Nine.” as well. I feel like their segments and topics can be better. But then again it’s a different Market compared to FOX11 and FOX 5 where it’s a circus all the time.

You should already know that FOX likes to tinker with talent (ie:Newsreaders) based on the KTVU experiences, over the last 2 years. They will mess with it till they find the proper fit...and then they will shake it up again just for giggles. That's what FOX does. They tinker.

After a restructuring of the anchor team, WFLD has remodeled their 9am hour into a woman-centric hour. The 4-6 and 6-9 female co-anchors join the social media/sports anchor and noon anchor along with the new-ish noon meteorologist for almost a View-like hour of inoffensive topics and segments and stuff like that. Maybe it works (it probably doesn't, ratings-wise), but it's different from competing programming, so why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to bring this up again but I'm currently streaming Good Day LA and Elex and Megan are doing the 9 AM hour with Rita and Maria sitting at the desk as well. This show is so dysfunctional.

Maybe it works (it probably doesn't, ratings-wise), but it's different from competing programming, so why not? I believe their 9A hr is their strongest (ratings-wise). Adding Sylvia was a no-brainer, giving Mike a break (instead of having to work all 6 hrs) and bringing in Kaitlin @ 9A made sense too. Because the show is divided into three parts.. 4-6A, 6-9A & 9-10A, having the last hour be a female-focus one was a logical, if not obvious, choice.

This show is so dysfunctional. The rest of this week, there'll be no 9am, 10am or noon. Like the 7-9am hours will be on KCOP starting tomorrow but then it'll go to Wendy afterward so the morning news block will just be four and a half hours instead of the total six.
