jerseyfla 207 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Anyone else’s anchors social distancing? Here in Middle Georgia Tegna’s WMAZ is having their anchors on split screens on opposite ends of the set. Their mics are not turning on immediately at times. It’s kind weird.

kshow 167 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 KCBS is doing it. Both anchors are sitting at the desk, but in different positions (way far apart). WCBS is using just one anchor (alternating days I believe) and broadcasting from the smaller CBSN NY set.

TheRolyPoly 2446 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I've seen WTVJ and WSVN practice social distancing but not really on WPLG. They're so ignorant. Not sure about WFOR and depending on how long this lasts, we'll see if WSFL will do the same.

Technically A Director 164 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 In central Illinois, looks like most affiliates are adopting the split screen approach.

newsteam13 396 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Although social distancing may not be all that bad. Take the late 80s WUSA Eyewitness News for example. Look at how CBS9 designed the set that way. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17604-social-distancing-on-set/#findComment-242693 Share on other sites More sharing options...

east-tx-tv 121 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 KXAS has been doing a mixture of anchors at each end of the desk, split screening, and alternating anchors. No coming up to the main desk alongside the other anchors for sports, weather, or traffic anchors.

atlnewsfan03 79 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Atlanta... WSB 2: separated. As of tonight's 11PM news, Jovita Moore at main anchor desk. Jorge Estevez in the stage right story presentation area. Zach Klein was in sports bunker area of WSB-TV building, not in actual news studio. Didn't catch weather to see if Brad Nitz was in weather area. WAGA 5: 10PM had Russ Spencer and Courtney Bryant in separate parts of the studio. 11PM had Tom Haynes solo. Chief meteorologist David Chandley doing weather at chromakey wall. Not sure if Ken Rodriguez is doing sports segment in studio or the sports bunker area of WAGA-TV building. WXIA 11 & WATL 36: prime-time newscast anchors looked to be separated. 11PM anchors separated. Didn't catch the weather, to see whether Chris Holcomb was in studio. I'm thinking sports segments to be on hiatus. WGCL 46 & WPCH 17: meteorologist at home. 11PM, Ella Dorsey presenting weather from what looks to be her residence. Brittany Murphy and Shon Gables separated. Rick Folbaum was off. Fred Kalil on opposite side of the studio. WUPA 69: WCBS-produced CW 69 News at 10 has been on hiatus for over a week, and is showing WBZ 4 out of Boston, which is also doing CBSN National as regular CBSN National broadcast is still on hiatus. Have no vids or screencap pics to show. These are observations I've made by surfing channels.

johnnya2k6 171 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Anchorage: KTUU had Mike Ross and Rebecca Palsha in the studio and newsroom respectively for the Newshour, unsure about KTVA.

Journalist 894 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Here's how social distancing is looking like at Canada's top media market, Toronto. CTV Toronto, the only station with a regular duo-anchor lineup. Here's before and after. Nationally, all the networks solo-anchor... except CBC's The National. Unlike many stations in North America, they had to update their entire desk to accommodate the change. And that's all. Global, who usually anchors with duos, switched to solos after Farah Nasser, the 6pm co-anchor, went into self-isolation. Meanwhile, Citytv and CBC does not have a traditional duo-anchor format.
