AA55 39 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Wow. I was under the impression the numbers were rising with him and Natalie but of course it’s a personal decision. Big loss for WNBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B2r4a6n 102 Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 I'm surprised as well...I was thinking they were setting Stefan up to be the future of the station, but like you said it's a personal decision. With that being said here's the lineup I think wnbc should have/might have in the fall... 11am: Adam Kuperstein and Gilma Avalos 4pm: Natalie Pasquarella and Adam Kuperstein 5pm: David Ushery and Gilma Avalos 6pm: Chuck Scarborough and Natalie Pasquarella 11pm: David Ushery and Natalie Pasquarella ...and of course a new anchor(s) will have to be hired for weekend evenings. It's time for David Ushery, who's been loyal to WNBC and the NYC area for so long to get the 11pm anchor slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner 212 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 4 hours ago, B2r4a6n said: new anchor(s) will have to be hired for weekend evenings. Is it fair to think one of their nightside reporters will get the role? Assuming Adam/Gilma will also move to weekdays like you suggest, WNBC could move to solo weekend newscasts (a growing trend) and maybe promote someone like Rana Novini, who I feel like has drawn praise whenever she filled in (not really substantiated - just through social media perusing). Additionally, with or without their move to weekdays, could occasional fill-in Jen Maxfield have a potential slot anywhere? If anything, I hope they'll keep the weekday and weekend Today in NY teams the same, because they'll (probably) be the only things staying put.

MediaZone4K 1724 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Wow! Good luck to Stefan, I do like Adam and Gilma as a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooneyhill1 11 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I say David Ushery is gonna be the leading news anchorman for WNBC-TV, for the 5PM & 11PM weeknight newscasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
