Schroeder05 0 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Does anyone know if they are trying them out for possible permanent spots in the morning? I think they are great together. I think they blend well with Bill Evans and the rest of the crew. I think Lori Stokes is different since Steve has left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenHD 0 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I think Jeff Rosen would go great. I have the feeling that no one on the weekend newscasts will be taking Steve's spot because they just made new openings for them. So I think that there is a very strong possibility that they will hire someone new. Maybe they will try to bring Maurice over. I think he would go good with Lori or Bill. By the way the new talent opens are great, but nothing to go to crazy over. The images of either the helicopter or newsvan are much more clear to see.

cbs2idiots 21 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Dull Maurice with Lori, I think not, he would damper the newscasts with his keep it going attitude. And also I dont think they will put two African American on the newscast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenHD 0 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Does anyone know any information on who will be taking Steve's place. I have the feeling that when they do find a replacement they will add a sportscaster. Marvell will most likely get that spot. I think Sade's contract is up next fall. So Lori will probably get that spot. Lori and Diane work very good together. Bill Evans will definately stay on. This revamp of Eyewitness News this Morning may not start until next fall when they change everything else around. I think Sandra Bookman deserves a promotion I would love to see her on Eyewitness News This Morning. Michelle would be my second choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sade had signed a long term contract a couple of weeks back with WABC and is not going anywhere soon. I believe it was a 3 year deal. And i highly doubt WABC would want to mess with the evening teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone from INSIDE will get the job sitting next to Lori in the morning and at noon. No outside hires. It'll either be Phil Lipof or Joe Torres... With my money on the former. He was brought in as Bartelstein's replacement, so I see no reason why that would change now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenHD 0 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I would have no problem with either Joe Torres or Phil Lipof taking the posistion. My question is why will WABC not hire an outsider or someone in the New York city area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TellyGenic 32 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 WABC NEVER hires from other NYC stations - NEVER. They'd rather develop their own talent, either from within or from outside the viewing area. You'll see people who leave WABC show up on other local newscasts (Roz Abrams most notably), but you'll never see WABC hire a face that's already been seen elsewhere on a NYC area newscast. And good for them! Always good to see a new face rather than the same old tired ones going from station to station (Ernie Anastos). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AceHawk447 17 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Just out of curiosity, what about Lisa Colagrossi and/or Lauren Glassberg? Oh, as for those already named, Jeff OR Michelle (especially the latter) would do well alongside Lori Stokes on both early 'casts; also, they're both due to move up. Diana Williams does very well with Lori, I'd agree there; she should do the noon AND the 5 with Lori and Sade, respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, Louis Young FIRST NYC TV job was on Channel 7 back in 1981 and worked there for nine years. He was hired at WNBC-TV from 1990-1994 and later WCBS-TV around 1995(?). And if people were wondering, why did WABC hired my buddy Ken Rosato and Kemberly Richardson from Fox 5 News. I know Ken and he's NOT staff, he's freelance. Ken doesn't a have a contract at the station. Kemberly, who I don't know her, could be staff. If she is, then that's an exception. That's all very true - especially about Lou. You took the words out of my mouth NewsGod ;-) If I might add, there is a HUGE difference between reporters and anchors as well. There will be the rare occassion where a reporter will move from another station in the market to WABC, but will usually be freelance, like Ken. There are instances where that freelance becomes staff (Kemberly Richardson) - but it's an exception to the WABC rule. But, the reference was originally about anchors moving from another station to Channel 7. It hasn't happened in the past, and don't look for it in the future.
