New NECN anchor leaves after a month

The Herald reports Taryn Winter Brill has left NECN's new "conversational" news show after barely a month to return to New York, to be closer to her family following her father's death.

NECN: Out with the old, in with the new

Jessica Heslam at the Herald reports on NECN's impending makeover, which features all new talent (see ya, R.D.) and a "more conversational" morning news show featuring a "living room set" and a co-anchor who once straightened her naturally curly hair to see if people preferred women with curly or straight hair.

Meanwhile, Masshole Mommy dishes on her huge crush on Channel 4 morning guy David Wade:

As soon as I wake up in the morning, I all but run downstairs to my tv to see him and if I'm not going to be home for the noon news (he's on every other day because he takes turns with his morning c0-anchor), I tivo it.

Ed note: The final NECN morning show may look a bit different from the video above.

Beseeching by backers brings Bello back

Yes, Bellomaniacs, the Globe's Mike Bello is back on NECN to tel you what his intrepid band of reporters is working on.

Earlier:
Backers bemoan Bello's broadcast banishment; besiege broadcaster: Bring back Bello.

Some people really liked seeing Globe Deputy City Editor Mike Bello broadcast the day's upcoming news on NECN. So much so that when he dropped off the airwaves recently, a Belloholic set up a Facebook page demanding NECN put him back on the air.

Batten down the hatches tomorrow

Matt Noyes of NECN has been posting updates on what he considers to be the setup for the biggest round of thunderstorms of the year (even bigger than the last two macro-squalls) and potentially the biggest setup that New England could even foreseeably get in general.

He posted a more technical discussion last night on his personal website.

Blurring the lines betweeen church and state at NECN

John Carrol makes the case that's what's happening.

Reporter won't stand on seawall to show us nature's fury

And reports she has yet to get hit by a flying rock, unlike the obviously tougher anchorwoman (toward the end of the segment). Oh, Shelby Scott, where have you gone?

NECN now more Comcastic

The Globe reports Comcast is buying the piece of NECN it didn't already own.

Unfortunately, it only works for weather forecasters on TV. Oh, and traffic reporters:
