FiveNews 371 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) Wow! As someone who has grown up in Southern California, this is huge! Easily over 100+ yrs of experience walking out the door. Chuck spent time at KABC. Angie and Kim were at KCAL before coming to KNBC. Vikki is the longtime Orange County Bureau Chief. Bev is one of their lead nightside reporters. Strong on breaking news. Used to fill in on TILA Weekend back in the day.

bogusabc7breakingnews 60 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Wow, this is insane! I also grew up here with all these familiar names. It’s too bad. Layoffs seem to be occurring in so many industries. Despite a hiring freeze, ABC7 has an opening for a general assignment reporter; I hope one of the KNBC folks can hop across the street. I’m glad Colleen is staying and I hope they don’t replace Chuck with Robert Kovacik; perhaps Michael Brownlee can move up. But wow! 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17919-knbc-nbc-4-news-los-angeles-thread/page/3/#findComment-280536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTT 111 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Will they have a farewell news segment for the news veterans? They made such a big deal when Paul Moyer got laid off and the station was not on best of terms with him when they did that. He was at a golf course, while Colleen and Chuck were trying to give him a send off. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17919-knbc-nbc-4-news-los-angeles-thread/page/3/#findComment-280539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveNews 371 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 They also gave Patrick Healy a highly publicized signoff as well. My bet is Robert Kovacik takes over for Chuck Henry. Can't see Brownlee moving up to the big chair.

I was just going to @FiveNews because he may be right. When I’ve tuned in at 11 and Chuck isn’t there, it’s generally Robert filing in. I’m just not a fan of his style. I doubt they’ll move up the weekday morning guy after all those Lynnette related promos. The weekend evening guy, his name escapes me, but he is good, but also an unlikely move. There aren’t too many males there now that I’m thinking of it.

JTT 111 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I believe Michael Brownlee or Robert Kovacik will be promoted to be anchor at 11PM with Colleen Williams. I hope Ted Chen gets promoted to being an anchor. He did a good job when he was anchoring weekend TODAY in LA editions a few years ago.

Since this is about budget cuts I wouldn’t be surprised if Colleen is solo at 11. Pat Harvey and Marc Brown are both solo at 11 on 2 and 7. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17919-knbc-nbc-4-news-los-angeles-thread/page/3/#findComment-280566 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTT 111 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 It's official. The station posted an article of them retiring. I hope they give a send off for them after all the years. I been watching the station since the early 90s and will miss them. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17919-knbc-nbc-4-news-los-angeles-thread/page/3/#findComment-280639 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogusabc7breakingnews 60 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) I’m surprised no one mentioned this, but Chuck’s (among others) last day was last week. During his farewell message on the 11pm show, Chuck commented that Colleen will do a good job holding down the desk, seemingly indicating that she’ll be solo anchoring as the other 11pm O&O anchors do. https://fb.watch/hO0_V_HiiU/?mibextid=v7YzmG separately, why am I always locked out of my account? It’s super annoying.

JTT 111 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I notice that the station finally removed their bios. Has anyone heard who will, be promoted to the 5 and 6 pm newscast? I'm believe Michael Brownlee may take the 5 pm and keep the 11 am spot and Robert Kovacick will get the 4 and 6 pm spot, while Colleen Williams does solo at 11 pm while keeping the 5 and 7 pm spot.

MD TV 254 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) Fred Roggin is leaving on Thursday.

I had the pleasure of meeting Roggin once, who is as much of a terrific person off the air, as he is behind the desk. Such a living legend in the local Los Angeles-area sports scene. I will miss watching his sports reports on NBC4.

JTT 111 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Who will replace Fred Roggin? Mario Solis is working part time at the station and has other employment obligations. I think Roggin wanted to wait until the NFL season was over to announce that he will leave the station. Otherwise, I think he would have just left when the other 5 reporters and anchor left last month Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17919-knbc-nbc-4-news-los-angeles-thread/page/3/#findComment-282323 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, I think he would have just left when the other 5 reporters and anchor left last month I would imagine that they will have Mario Solis and/or bringing freelancers on board to handle the sports anchoring at least on an interim basis. Or, the news anchors may do it perhaps for a time as well. With Roggin's retirement, I was just thinking that very few on-air veterans are left at the station now. Conan Nolan, Ted Chen as well as Colleen Williams are three of the current vets who come to mind for me.

Bsean 149 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 It'll probably be a gaggle of personalities covering sports. At least that's been then trend down here in SD. KNSD, KFMB and KSWB each have 3-4 people covering sports thought the week since longtime personalities left.

Unlike the other local L.A. TV stations, KNBC's lacks depth in its sports department, as far as the amount of on-air talent is concerned. As it stands, it is now only Mario Solis, so it may very well be he along with the news anchors reading the sports, whenever he has his days off, at least for the foreseeable future.

JTT 111 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 What will follow Sunday Night Football now that Fred Roggin left the station? I hope they don't bring back "the challenge" and start fresh with a new show, or just go straight to local news. Also, I hope they find a new permanent sports anchor. Does the station have any reporters that have sports background? I remember before, Andy Adler had some sports reporting background when she was at the station.

I doubt that "The Challenge" will be returning ever again. Neither will Roggin's other program on NBC4, "Going Roggin," for that matter, which I noticed in my channel guide is no longer listed in airing at midnight Sundays (technically, Monday morning). That could be repurposed under a new title and, of course, a new host, but that seems unlikely though.

JTT 111 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Does anyone think they will try to lure sports anchor from another station like Steve Hartman or someone else? If not, I hope they use Conan Nolan. I saw him fill in a couple of times before and he did fine.
