Geoffrey 861 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Richard Huff reports that she's in talks to anchor the News at Ten, possibly solo: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2010/09/10/2010-09-10_could_applegate_upset_pix_applecart.html Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/6749-jodi-applegate-to-wpix/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 277 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 It says Jim and Kaity would move to other anchor slots.. What time would that be? Are they planning on another newscast during the week? And I hope this never happens cause I don't think it would go well Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/6749-jodi-applegate-to-wpix/#findComment-61315 Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchorman 94 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I hope not. Her and Ron are great on News 12 together. I would think that at this point the News 12 job has to be better than the PIX job. N12 is somewhat more stable, she's the face of the station, and it's a cushy job. I wouldn't want to head to a mess like PIX. However, $$$ speaks. And maybe she has the itch to get back into the city, although from what she has said she's enjoying living on LI. (Though when she moves in with Kay, he probably lives in the city.)

NYNews 54 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 It sucks that they are considering breaking up one of the best anchor pairs in NY. If they drop Kaity, I would like to see her reunite with Ernie on WNYW. She would be way better than Dari.

cbs2idiots 24 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 The breaking up of Jim and Kaity would be a terrible mistake. This team is stronger than Ernie and Dari but anyway ratings is what counts. If they move Jim and Kaity they would probably anchor the weekend newscasts.

NYNews 54 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 A poster at TVSpy.com said the ratings are up. Not sure by how much, can anybody confirm that? The problem with the ratings is the CW prime time programming. The programming is geared towards teenage girls, as oppose to other networks who target the 18-34 range. I guess what they can do and are doing is trying to get syndicated shows that do draw in the older viewers trying to get more people to watch WPIX (shows like Entourage and Curb you Enthusiasm which are airing this fall).

StudioTech 15 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 AThe problem with the ratings is the CW prime time programming. And they're stuck with the CW for another 5 years, unless there's some out in the affiliate agreement somewhere.

Vlad 325 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Yeah CW has always had poor programming, such as Gossip Girl and all of that stuff which is not geared for the 18-34 audience. But then again you question some of the programs on FOX as well, such as Glee which is another teenager geared show along with American Idol on Tuesday and Monday nights, but then again they are much stronger shows than those on CW so thats why ratings on WNYW will always be much better. A poster at TVSpy.com said the ratings are up. Not sure by how much, can anybody confirm that? Plus the ratings increase that the poster at TV Spy mentioned may only be a temporary thing as much of the shows on FOX aired as re-runs for much of the Summer. Starting Next week with so many season premieres, I doubt that would be the case and I expect WNYW's ratings to soar.

TellyGenic 33 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 A poster at TVSpy.com said the ratings are up. If that indeed is the case, it has nothing to do with Jim & Kaity; they've been the anchor team there forever and the ratings were low. I wonder how much of the uptick is due to the change in format of the news - the addition of "commentators" like Larry Mendte and Lionel. WPIX news now reminds me more and more of WNEW 10:00 News back in the day - I half expect to see and hear a commentary from Victor Riesel! I personally don't think these changes are for the better - it's less news and more opinion. I do, however, like Greg Mocher, who's really putting the screws to the MTA.
