Jodi Applegate and Ron Corning, co-hosts of Fox's Good Day New York, both claim to be serious foodies, and it was a toss-up as to which one would have the chance to share their favorite recipe with Gothamist. But New York Magazine went through Ron Corning's daily diet last month, and Jodi Applegate wanted to unveil her favorite recipe for Tuna Surprise here today. Because both anchors have to get up early in the morning......

Photograph of News Corp.'s Midtown headquarters by Triborough on Flickr Now that Rupert Murdoch owns The Wall Street Journal, he wants all his toys in one toychest properties in one building, namely News Corporation's Sixth Avenue building. The Wall Street Journal newsroom has always been downtown and is currently located at the World Financial Center. What's interesting is it seems like WSJ staffers would welcome a move to Midtown. The World Trade Center attacks......

Stormy Weather As we were away from televisions most of Wednesday, we can’t give a blow by blow account of the storm coverage. However, we can give you a brief summary of some of the major things. CBS’ “The Early Show" faced a deluge in their Fifth Avenue studios, forcing them to retreat to the CBS Broadcast Center across town on 57th Street only forty minutes before the broadcast. After a frantic scramble, the......

The Video Vultures Circle It seems when tragedy writ large strikes, local news crews are dispatched to the scene no matter where it is. This week’s bridge collapse in Minnesota was no different with, as of last night, WCBS, WNYW, and WABC shipping reporters off to cover the death and destruction live. It seems more like vultures flocking to the carcass instead of legitimate coverage. Sending local reporters off just seems a bit much and......

Today on the Gothamist Newsmap : a stabbing at Surf & Stillwell Aves. in Brooklyn, a shooting at Simonson Ave. and Richmond Terr. on Staten Island, and an unstable wall on East 94th St. in Brooklyn. Fox 5's Good Day New York passed a boundary and Nick Lachey's "people" cancelled an appearance with the station abruptly. A Park Slope doctor has been arrested for fondling and sexually abusing a 56-year-old patient after hours at......

We recently sat down with Mike Jerrick, co-host of Fox’s syndicated The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet (Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m. WNYW 5). A native of Wichita, Kansas and got his start in television at WIBW in Topeka. After Kansas he moved to New York’s WNYW to be a producer and host of P.M. Magazine and then moved to San Francisco’s KPIX where he hosted their version of the show called Evening Magazine. Then he......

There is nothing like a little snow to make the local television stations go nuts. The madness really started yesterday evening with reporters sent out to find snow, special winter weather graphics and crawls with school closings along with other notes about the snowstorm on the bottom of the screen. This morning the madness continued with most of the stations starting their morning newscasts an hour early at 4 a.m. However, we missed the......

Despite the warm winter weather, coat drives have not lost momentum this season in comparison to coat sales. This week, there are several more creative ways to give. On Tuesday, January 9, New York Cares wraps up its 18th year of coat collecting with the Weatherproof® Garment Company’s Coat-The-Rink-Skate-A-Thon. The day begins early when a few lucky volunteers (which could include you) will take to the ice with Olympic figure skater Sasha Cohen at 6:30am.......

+ The New York Times calls yesterday's Atlantic Yards community forum "polite" and estimates attendance at a few dozen people. Most speakers supported the project, no doubt a result of civic overload (given the district's active Congressional primary race) and Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn's boycott of the meeting. One Fort Greene native who lives in Park Slope attacked opponents who "live in brownstones," or many of her neighbors. + Norman Oder's Atlantic Yards Report calls......

Two weeks ago, we posted about a video showing how to steal a bike. Good Day New York wanted to get in on the action, so they had some people demonstrate it on the show this morning - only for it to go totally haywire in a brilliant, planned fake blood way and spook reporter Jodi Applegate away from stories on the Internet for good. Gawker has a description of the segment, which has......

CBS New York morning anchor Jim Ryan is doing the show from various locations for a Breakfast With Jim Ryan segment each day. Now, if you've been watching the local news for a while, you'll know Jim from hosting Good Day New York on Channel 5. We always thought that Jim was at his best when he was needling weather man Dave Price, who moved over to CBS a while ago, so we were thrilled......

Gothamist was very excited to see that Matt Lauer was in Shanghai, for his November sweeps month get-me-away-from-Katie working vacation/ biological clock experiment, Where in the World is Matt Lauer? To make scary, Communist China accessible to the West, Matt explained that Shanghai is growing so fast, and referred to a graphic showing that there are twice as many skyscrapers in Shanghai than New York, 4000 to NYC's 2000, even though Shanghai is a......

Gothamist can't decide what to think about Jillian Barberie. PROS: Self-made broadcast success; clawed her way up from an internship at Canada's The Weather Network to high-profile gigs in Miami and LA. Speaks out against Fen Phen and animal cruelty. CONS: Dresses like a skank; pimps her "weather broad" persona out to sell beer, football, and motor oil. Maybe Gothamist is just tired of seeing Jillian's face plastered all over the subway with fellow Good......

Between a Rocco and a Hard Place
So the Post gave Rocco's zero stars...Gothamist went before we knew this. At least we met Mama!
