mooneyhill1 11 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I think it will be Nicole Mitchell, John Marshall, or Jackie Johnson Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16924-bill-evans-out-at-wabc/page/4/#findComment-224019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadgeek Adam 170 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 We shall see, but I really want John Marshall. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16924-bill-evans-out-at-wabc/page/4/#findComment-224102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainave 606 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Any indication yet about who will take the morning slot, or who the new hire is? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16924-bill-evans-out-at-wabc/page/4/#findComment-225359 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TellyGenic 33 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 John Marshall subbed again last week on WCBS - he's been their go-to sub for a while now, so it's doubtful WABC would even be interested. The strain of filling Evans' position is starting to show - last night Jeff Smith was out and the sub was Karen Rogers, who was introduced as being "on loan" from their sister station WPVI in Philadelphia.

RealNews18 204 Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 I would think they want a permanent morning meteorologist for sweeps.. I wonder if they’ll announce Jeff ( if it’s him) and have Amy do weekend morning and evenings?

Jeff did the weekend mornings this week and Lee is filling in for Jeff tonight. They even put Karen's twitter handle on air Fun fact: It was an reunion of sorts as Joe Torres was working at WPVI ('92-'96) when Karen started in '96 before he went to WABC a few months later. https://twitter.com/karenrogers6abc/status/1122313097979531264 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16924-bill-evans-out-at-wabc/page/4/#findComment-225415 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountainave 606 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 He did say previously that he'd be returning to TV (see tweet below). Nothing about his next job has been reported, to the best of my knowledge. PIX's Mr. G. is almost 75, so if he retires, that could be a spot for Bill.

RealNews18 204 Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 Would be cool to see him on Good Day working with Lori again.. He would def fit in well with the team there.. (could Mike Woods be moving to evenings?) Who knows?

TellyGenic 33 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I think an announcement about a permanent morning weather anchor is imminent. Last night at 11, as Lee was passing it back to Bill & Sade, he said his usual "Amy and Jeff will watching the weather this weekend" and Sade said "I almost said something, but stopped myself" to which both Lee and Bill said "don't give anything away"... what else could that have meant? It's either going to be Jeff or Amy full time in the mornings....

Not sure if you’ve looked over in the Philly forums, but WPVI just hired WCAU’s former morning traffic person, Jessica Boyington. She did a feature story on the morning news this week. Karen primarily does traffic on the morning news (but does fill in on weather as she’s a meteorologist and was the weekend morning weather person before being promoted). Makes you wonder if Jessica is taking Karen’s place, and if Karen is moving to WABC.

jtgh922 18 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 The only places I could see Bill Evans landing are Channel 11 taking over for Mr G, probably just at 10:00 first so it doesn't look like Mr. G is being pushed out, then after a year or so G passes over the 5:00 & 6:00 reigns too. Or he can join Channel 5 in the morning being reunited with Lori on Good Day NY, letting Mike Woods keep 4:30-7 AM. Otherwise all the other stations are fully staffed. As for Channel 7, I still say they should have gone after Sam Champion for the mornings. Like him or not, ratings would skyrocket! Sam's big return to Channel 7 just in time for sweeps. The promos write themselves! Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16924-bill-evans-out-at-wabc/page/4/#findComment-226649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealNews18 204 Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Who knows where he’s going.. could be anywhere at this point.. could CBS This Morning add a weather personality? (Lonnie Quinn).. Could someone be leaving a station? Who knows.. The best thing would be if he did wind up on Good Day with Rosanna and Lori.. but who knows.. we’ll wait and see. The big question is who is WABC bringing on? And who will get the morning spot?
