Monday should be interesting. I don’t see how they can do a news ast on both 12 & 35 @ 6 PM unless it is an simulcast. To all the folks who got screwed by SJL, my hopes are that you are able to move on with your lives at a better operation (any place would be better than SJL). You are all very taltented and deserve the best.

On WSEE Newswatch at Six tonight, Scott Bremner and Jacqueline Policastro sat in front of the news set instead of behind the desk for the first segment of the newscast. They said that this will be the last 6 o’clock newscast from the Peach St. studio. The Newswatch Nightbeat will still air tonight and there will be no news tomorrow because it is “moving day” for WSEE as the transition occurs.

They emphasized many times throughout the broadcast that there will be news again Monday on the station. This includes a 6 o’clock newscast. There was also a mention that the newscasts may be changed up soon (no details yet, although many know what may be happening) and they will inform viewers when this happens.

We already know that Raychel Vendetti will not be part of the new adventure, but WSEE’s six o’clock newscast also indicated something else. One of the anchors indicated that some of the faces seen on the station will change. Jen Mobilia and Charles Santini appear to be among the others who will not be moving to upper State street. They were the only reporters on air tonight, signing off for the last time with “For the last time, I’m Jennifer Mobilia, WSEE Newswatch, Watching Out for You.” Jen recapped the most influential stories from her career at WSEE and Charles talked about the food that coworkers at the station would grab as they went out to report the news.

Good luck to everyone at WSEE. Let’s see what June 1st brings for Erie television.

Go to http://www.WSEE.tv for more. Charles Santini is also leaving Channel 35. Scott and Jacqueline were “cryptic” in discussing future plans and who was staying or leaving. It was sad to watch – almost like being at a funeral.

According to multiple sources the last newscast to originate from 13th & Peach is tonight’s 11pm Nightbeat.

I wonder if there will be any mention of what is to come in the future?

For those of you that have them, set your DVR’s!

JET won’t hire anyone from 35….Lou already has a full crew. Besides JET hires youngsters out of college, who work cheap, not experienced folks who want more $$$.

According to http://www.PBRTV.com Raychel Vendetti announced on today’s Newswatch at Noon that after today’s newscast she “will no longer be with WSEE.”

The hammer has dropped. It would appear Mr. Lilly has gone back on his promise of “no on air personnel layoffs???”
