Colorado Shooting: Denver Anchor in New York Visiting ‘World News Now’

Chris Ariens — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 11:23:32 +0000

Jeremy Hubbard is the former anchor of “World News Now.” He left ABC in 2010 for a job as main anchor at Denver Fox station KDVR. But Hubbard happened to be in New York for a wedding this weekend. At 3:15amET, just as the massacre back in Aurora was unfolding, he dropped by his old show. His former co-anchor Vinita Nair joined him.

About 90 minutes later, at 4:53amET, “World News Now” anchors Rob Nelson and Paula Farris led a special report (video after the jump) that was broadcast with coverage from ABC affiliate KMGH, which, as TVSPY reports, first began reporting the story around 2:40amMT.

‘World News Now’ Celebrates 20 Years

Chris Ariens — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 11:07:14 +0000

While NBC celebrates 60 years of “Today” next week, today ABC is marking 20 years of “World News Now.” ABC News president Ben Sherwood calls the overnight news show, “the unsung hero of our news division.” And to the production team, “You all have the confidence and creativity to take risks and reap the rewards.”

The show, created by David Bohrman, who went on to CNN and is now president of Current TV, debuted January 6, 1992.

“We never imagined that our little overnight effort would last so long, inform and entertain so many people, and launch so many careers,” Bohrman tells TVNewser. Bohrman says he still has the audition tapes from original anchors Aaron Brown and Lisa McRee. Over the years, other anchors have included Anderson Cooper, Alison Stewart, Kevin Newman, Thalia Assuras, Juju Chang, Jeremy Hubbard, David Muir and more.

Bohrman has one bit of advice for the current producers: “They should bring back the World News Now Temperature Index.” Here’s a best-of video, shown this morning on the show:

And this wasn’t the only TV news morning marker Today.

Sherwood’s note, after the jump…

ABC News Rejiggers Correspondent Assignments

Alex Weprin — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 12:39:16 +0000

ABC News has made a number of changes to its correspondent assignments, both domestically and abroad.

Some of the more notable moves:

Jeffrey Kofman will move to ABC’s London bureau, he had been based in Miami. Kofman was front and center during two of 2010′s biggest news stories: the Chilean miner rescue and the BP oil spill.

Matt Gutman, whose reporting for ABC News Radio during the BP oil spill drew praise from executives, will now be a correspondent for all ABC News broadcasts and platforms, and will be based out of Miami. Gutman is currently in Haiti reporting on the cholera outbreak there.

Jim Sciutto will return to Washington from London, where he has served as senior foreign correspondent since 2002.

A number of other moves, after the jump.

Jeremy Hubbard Leaving ‘World News Now;’ Rob Nelson to Join

kevin — Thu, 13 May 2010 11:51:28 +0000

First on TVNewser: “World News Now,” ABC’s middle-of-the-night news program, is about to see another change at the anchor desk. TVNewser has learned that Jeremy Hubbard, who joined the broadcast in 2008, is departing “World News Now” for a promotion to digital correspondent for ABC News. (Welcome back to daylight, Jeremy)

ABC News is hiring Rob Nelson, morning news anchor at CBS-affiliate WWL-TV in New Orleans, to co-anchor the program with Vinita Nair. No word yet on his official start date.

“World News Now” has been something of a revolving door for young, promising talent. Since the show’s launch in 1992, the newscast’s seen Anderson Cooper, Juju Chang, Alison Stewart, Aaron Brown, Kevin Newman, David Muir, and others pass through the anchor chair.

Snow in the Morning

kevin — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 10:54:21 +0000

It’s snowing again in the northeast and that means more frozen newscasters. This morning, Sam Champion was out in Time Square for ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Dave Price was in Philadelphia for CBS’ “Early Show,” and Tom Costello was in D.C. for NBC’s “Today” show.

Overnight, ABC’s Jeremy Hubbard co-anchored from Central Park when the snow started falling for “World News Now.”

NBC News’ Mike Viqueira nearly got blown away during a segment outside the White House for “The Daily Rundown.”

The worst is supposed to come to New York later in the day, so get ready for more blizzard reporting.

Related: Molly Sims was warm and inside on “Fox & Friends” this morning when the hosts surprised her with a phone call from her parents in Florida who are big fans of the show.

HD Coming For World News

SteveK — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 20:48:12 +0000

Earlier this week, a TVNewser tipster emailed that ABC World News Now was being broadcast from Washington, D.C. rather than New York. “They’re actually switching over to HD. A lot of people are making that conversion at home right now. We are, too, at ABC,” said anchor ~~Jeremy Hubbard~~ Vinita Nair at the top of Monday’s show.

It appears the change is coming to a lot of programs for ABC News.

Sources tell TVNewser that beginning tomorrow from Denver, World News with Charles Gibson and Nightline will begin broadcasting in HD. The programs join Good Morning America and This Week, which are currently broadcast in high definition. And this year for the first time, ABC’s primetime coverage of the convention (10pm) will be in HD as well.

More details are expected tomorrow.

> Update: Broadcasting and Cable has the details. World News Now is not one of the programs switching to HD, not yet anyway.
