As I previously posted the 5;30pm talent bump had no sports anchor. Well I just saw the 5pm into and it too doesn’t have a sports anchor. &’s talent bump went from introducing each anchor separately, to having both Belkys Nerey and Craig Stevens together then weather then sports to no sports at all.
Wonder if it’s a trend and if we’ll see shorter opens too like their sister station WHDH has in Boston
If they remove the sports person, then they might as well not run the talent bump at all. I thought it was short enough as it was, back when it was Craig, Belkys, Bill, and Steve. Then months Bill Kamal left and Phil Ferro came, they ran no talent bump whatsoever, until they made the new one with Craig and Belkys, Phil, then Steve. I hate the shortening. That means it’s probably more time for commercials. 🙁 Instead of “You are watching 7 News at 5, with Craig Stevens ad Belkys Nerey”, I’m guessing eventually it’ll be shortened to “You are watching 7 News at 5” and that’s it. 🙁
