WNBC Will Get NYCTV Programming

WNBC, aka Channel 4, and the city have worked out a deal that will have NYC TV programs “$9.99,” “Blueprint NYC,” “Cool in Your Code,” “Eat Out NY,” and “New York 360° run on WNBC during the 11AM-12PM timeslot on weekdays. And, combined wtih four minutes of commercial time for city events and PSAs, the city hopes viewers will get to know more about the city. And Martha fans, don't worry - her show moves to 10AM, while Ellen moves to 4PM to go head-to-head with Oprah. Our only question is, will this mean WNBC reporters will get preferential treatment from City Hall?

NYC TV on being on WNBC come this September.

Amy Palmer looks real short and broad. I think she's like not even 5 feet!

Kela Walker is the break-out star here! She is hot and has that "likabality" factor - girls and guys can relate to her. I wish she had her own show!!

Kela Walker is the break-out star here. She's hot and has that "likability" factor. She's appealing to both girls and guys - love her!! I would love to see her hosting her own show!!

I have two questions - is Amy Palmer the same women who is on Air America Radio? Also, how tall is Amy Palmer? When I have seen her on TV she is always in heels and even then looks short. What is she like 4'11"?

I am a big fan of Amy Palmer. Glad to see NBC is too. She is the next big thing in the entertainment world.

the nyctv execs are totally partial to women hosts: Amy, Kelly, Maryam, Kela, Julie etc

I know this guy who is a cameraman at NYC-TV. ANd he is totally hot. Elliot something or other. HOT HOT HOT!! Put him in FRONT of the camera!!

ditmas blvd.

not true. the nyc-tv shows are ahead of their time. Fast-forward a few years and all tv, whether on the web or conventional tv - it will all look like nyc-tv.

i really enjoy the NYCTV NBC shows, especially Eat Out and Coll in the Code.

A harbringer? You mean the descend of the network as the shows start to have less and less quality? The one thing that is ridiculous about NYC TV is their lack of professionalism. While other shows are shooting their episodes and editing them first before airing them, NYC TV seems to be doing it as they go along, which is why we get constant repeats of episodes. I mean Kelly is hot, and I'd do Amy also if I had a few drinks, but seeing them non-stop is... well it's tiresome.

i think that this deal is a harbinger of big things to come for nyctv

The ratings say otherwise though. Why do you think they moved the block to 12 pm now? NBC was losing too many viewers right after Martha. Most of the shows are re-edited old shows, sprinkled with new stuff.
