Insession moves to Atlanta

[kjm]

I am still trying to figure out how to find out what in the heck is going on with In Session. Please if you know, tell me. I think the communication about and from this network is THE 'ABSOLUTE worst in the business. For example, over the last few of weeks, Jami Floyd has been gone from her own show much of the time. What's up?

I am amazed that In Session doesn't realize that they (the hosts/programming) is also a BIG PART of the viewing experience. I just happened to find out that In Session is moving from NYC to Atlanta and many/most of the show hosts will be leaving...I think in November. So what does this meant to future programming????

It is impossible to find out what is going on with In Session. Do you guys know? Where am I supposed to be looking? Why isn't there a Forum for Programming and Hosts....this network does NOT seem serious at all about their viewers. :mad:

[February]

Maybe she's on vacation.:shrug: I really like her a lot, but I think she can probably do better than In Session. It's not the same anymore.
Court TV was much classier. jmho of course.

Back in June TruTV announced major changes -- job cuts for 65 staffers -- to be made affecting its New York operations.

Media Bistro was told that Ashleigh Banfield and Jack Ford are among the potential staff reductions.

My uneducated guess would be that Ashleigh doesn't want to move to Atlanta. (The article says that they are closing down their New York operation and moving it to Atlanta.) Maybe that's what is causing her devil-may-care attitude.

and Jack Ford??! JACK FORD??? :sad:The sensible pillar of Court TV!! Good grief. I had stopped watching for months but now switch to CNN or WRAL coverage at 1 pm. MAYBE the change will be better???

At least we still have the forum. For which I'm thankful.

I totally agree with your high opinion of Jack Ford.

I will be very sad not to see him on InSessions.::mad:

Jack Ford is the calm voice of reasonable discussion, ensuring confusing legal issues are explained without a lot of hype and the 'me, me, me' attitude.

I am hoping he will be THE one who moves to Atlanta with a new contract. I believe the 'new' TruTV - InSession anchors will need his experience -- one who can show them how a professional handles that desk.

This live trial has been most interesting; very good attorneys on both sides. I wish more viewers had watched it. It has been a fascinating case.

Morning Constance,I also am grateful we still have the forum and Jack is my favorite.Lose the rest if they want but I will be sorry to see him leave.Some days I can take Ashleigh and some days not,but I wouldn't miss Jamie at all.
My server was down yesterday so I missed everything after 2 central.I take it the closings will start sometime today?

It was reported on Beth's & Jami's facebook pages that all of the Anchors were being laid off. The only people being kept out of the New York office are two field producers, Beth & Jean.

The ones staying are not physically moving to Atlanta, they will be broadcasting out of the HLN/CNN studios in NYC.

[kjm]

Thanks to all who have posted and responded to this thread. I really enjoy watching trials...it is fascinating. I don't get to watch much because I work full time...but try to always watch during my lunch time usually from 1 - 2 EST....so I guess because I don't watch much that is why I always feel out of the loop...although, I do think they could do a better job of posting information here in the forum...that is where the faithful come to get/give information. Does anyone know how to request that a new forum be added? I was thinking one about Programming...can only administrators start/open a new forum? Thanks, fellow courters!

Thanks for finding the information, Warhorse. How aptly you have named yourself. Jean and Beth are always (or almost always) in the field, anyway. I assume they will remain unscathed. I hope.

Yes only administrators can open forums. I suggest you contact Coldwater with your suggestion to open a new board. Each trial has their own board so you might go there to keep in the loop during trials.

According to Beth's facebook page she & Jean plus 2 field producers will continue with trutv & they are the only ones out of the NY office that will stay.

I saw Vinny on HLN filling in for a cmmentator on vacation. Love Vinny and hope it becomes a permanent fixture on the network. And where is Ron Kubeck????

[Barbara fl.]

I wish to God they would get rid of Ashleigh Banfield. Yesterday she got caught eating a granola bar:w00t: (her words). BRING BACK VINNY!!!!


Oh, I am so for that....I turn the channel the minute I see Ashley Bansfield...She is not an attorney yet when she is a guest she tries to act like she is with some of her responses....She must have known someone to get that job...she sure isn't qualified....


I so wish Vinny would come back.......I met him in person and he is just as pleasant, so is his family....wonderful people....his father is the greatest...

[Allie B]

I can't bear to watch/listen to her show. It is all about Ashleigh and what she thinks. Who gives a fig about her personal opinion on any case? Her affectations drive me crazy - and the pontificating and editorializing are pointless. I was thrilled when she was on vacation for a month this summer - what a blessing. I could watch Open Court without wanting to scream. Now that she's back, I'm back to watching the feeds.

I will really miss Jack Ford come mid-November. I agree with the other posters about his professionalism and ability to facilitate a reasoned discussion about complex legal issues and specific trials. He is the absolute best.

I'm willing to bet that the new Atlanta-based moderators will be talking heads only - not lawyers - who constantly interject their personal opinions, talk to the audience at a voice level approximating a scream, and belittle their guests (similar to some of the hosts on HLN (Nancy, Jane, Mike - I know that Nancy is a lawyer - but she is so blantantly biased/one note that I can no longer watch her program). HLN's PM programming is all about "bombshell, outrage, and getting people pissed off" - and sometimes skew the truth in order to do so.

I read the corporate memo re the changes at InSession, and in the end, I have no idea what they're saying. They make it sound like there will be no changes to the daytime line-up of shows, just that they'll be broadcasting from ATL. Maybe we can get the Real Housewives to do legal commentary.

Seriously, I think we all knew this was coming, back when CourtTV was changed and scaled-back.

I loved CourtTV..I even wrote the higher beings at CNN..and said I would be willing to pay a monthly fee..kinda like HBO..if they would keep the "TRU"TV on court cases! I miss the old days....but enough about that..

CNN has made this push to make all their anchors have strong..almost fake accents..what's up with that?? I cannot imagine one of them running these court cases. I have stopped watching them...completely..and if I can get the trials on any other local channels...I go that route..more reliable. Watching CNN/HLN...and they are in the middle of a interesting discussion....CUT TO COMMERCIAL...:thumbdown:

Here is a link from freygea that explains most of it. It SOUNDS like InSession will just move from NY to Atlanta and that new anchors will be assigned to "in-session" It mentione J Ford & Ashleigh are on the "cut list", but perhaps they didn't want to move. No mention of Jamie, which I would NOT mind if she made the cut. But NO, they will take away my Jack Ford! boo...

My future at In SessionShare
Wednesday, July 8, 2009 at 12:58pm
Lots of changes at In Session were announced a few weeks ago. The entire production is moving to Atlanta but In Session will still cover trials and be seen on truTV during the day. Jean and I will stay and work out of New York as will most of the field producers. Jack, Ashleigh and Jami will have their last shows on In Session in mid-November. After that, new anchors out of Atlanta will take over. I don't who they will be. The production in Atlanta will be under HLN (Headline News). I hope this answers most questions for now. Stay tuned.

I was watching a trial yesterday and I heard Jami Floyd say "as most of our viewers know our show is ending Nov. 17"; my jaw dropped, I watch In Session everyday and had heard nothing about this. Also I didn't know if she was referring to just her show or all 3 In Session shows....does anyone know?

I have read this article several times and I have two questions.
1) Will Insession air on trutv or on HLN?
2) No mention of Jamie? Please tell me she is gone, please.

Call me a kock eyed optimist but I think this will improve trial coverage. And no more Ron Koby!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup

[Pashie]

At that point
Turner Broadcasting's HLN in Atlanta will provide programming for truTV's daytime hours.

I am assuming that means the programming will remain on TruTV, just being produced in HLN studios now.

Will Ron Kuby still be working? It's clear that the three shows are over in November but what about Ron? He reminds me of my super cool doctor. So I can't live without this guy. Is he safe?

I see lots don't like Ashleigh, I like her when she's not flipping out like she's about to go loco on somebody.

I just recently started watching the trials. Can anyone answer this, how do we know when a live trial is coming up? They keep playing semi-old stuff and passing it along as live, sorta. Am I supposed to be watching CNN instead? Is that where the live trial coverage went? I haven't watched CourtTV trials since OJ Simpson and just started tuning in to InSession two weeks before Castillo v NC.

And I also stupidly thought the Edwards and that other guy that poisoned his wife trials were live. Sorry if this is in the wrong place, just wanted to toss it all together since this board is very overwhelming.

I'm not saying, cuz I don't have a clue. I was only saying, he wasn't a regular like Jack or Ashley or Jamie. Who knows, for a couple of days @ a time, he might go to wherever to sit in for whomever. He wouldn't have to actually MOVE there, IMO. I only heard no more Jack and Ashley--is Jamie staying on, or is she kaput, too?

you have to ask this question at "cnn.com/crime" who air the trials.


Tru Tv is a separate entity that just carries their feed until 2pm ET.

Tru Tv have their own Message Boards @ http://boards.trutv.com/

where all their Tru programs are discussed.

Vinnie is the best...I met him a few times and he is just as friendly in person...I met his wife and children.....and his father who is a retired judge...

Does anyone here know when the move to Atlanta will occur and what the new line-up in shows will be? Who will anchor the shows?

Curious minds want to know.

Thanks a bunch.

I still hope that we will have trials and not talking heads that think we really care what they think.

I see Ron and his family frequent these boards......sorry so long I can't wait to see the last of you and Jamie.:tonguewag:

[ramirezi]

If Ron does frequent this board, I love you but Oregon, not ORE GONE. Please, for the love of God! Oregon!

I like his opinion. It's nice to hear different opinions amongst lawyers... it may help for a appeal later on down the road. :tongueside:

[september]

Now that the soon to be ex anchors are out looking for work on a regular basis, we get to see even more of Ron. Clearly the poor guy has no practice to speak off and is always available to sub. Poor D list guy. But soon he will be a gone.

[Bonzo]

does anyone have info as to whether In Session (or whatever it'll be called) will switch to HLN channel?

i know Jamie has mentioned that the 15th is their last day but no mention from her or anyone over at HLN about continuing these trials.

anybody got updates?

Vinnie Politan is one of the new anchors. Mike Brooks is a correspondant. This article will tell you more.

thank you so much. i'll have to check HLN's schedule to see when their show(s) will air. i hope it's a 6 hour block as it has been on trutv.

As far as I know, TruTV will still air In Sessions - the broadcast studio is changing from New York to Atlanta. At least that is what I think is going to happen. I really like Vinnie Politan. Glad he will be a host. Not sure who the other person mentioned is.

As long as they air trials, I'll be happy. We have all seen hosts come and go, this is just another change. Should be interesting.

[Bonzo]

that would sure work for me. frankly i'm ready for some new hosts anyway. it does help to have attorneys as hosts so that we get the legal info needed to help us sort out what goes on in the courtroom. vinnie can help with that.

i was kind of hoping that HLN would advertise this new set up but because they haven't i'm just not sure if they're planning to close up the daily newscasts in favor of trial coverage.

guess we'll have to wait and see.

I tuned in for a bit today. Came in while Ashley was on, and man, I've never, ever, ever seen her so doggone fired up!!! Guess maybe she feels she can just let loose since isn't this the last week? Added to the fact that this is a horrendous case they are covering now. I am sure the case fires her up, but she has always been just a tad bit reserved, IMO. She could have taken on Nancy Grace this morning, and came out on top!!!!

i don't mean to sound catty here but lately i've had the feeling that Ashleigh has been "auditioning" while she's on camera. she's gone from a somewhat humble sounding partner to Jack Ford's immense wealth of legal knowledge to an overly irritated defender of the world's victims.

funny you should compare her to Nancy Grace. it seems like Ashleigh might be bucking for a similar type of show that she can host. since her stint at TruTV will end soon i can't help but think that she's applying her "resume" on air!!

i certainly believe that she'd be a good host if she'd just calm down a little. these histrionics that she's been displaying lately are just a bit over the top for me.

Oh, so today isn't just an aberration--she's been kicking up her heels for a while now? Probably right about the show thing--have some animated, firey demo tapes to show network hiring folks.

nah she started doing this when she became the sole host a few months ago. she started out kind of calm but picked up steam over these many weeks. i just finished watching her show from this morning and she made no bones about how awful she thinks these people are (well yes they're animals alright) but enuf of repeating this after every commercial break. puhleeeeeze!

I, for one, am not going to miss Ashleigh Banfield. She was a bit hard to take when she co-anchored with Jack Ford and became close to intolerable when she got her own show. Her continual self-effacing comments "I'm no lawyer blah blah blah" to her rants when she hops up on her soap box are hard for me to take. Put her on a show like Nancy Grace's show where you know what you are going to get - her opinions and her opinions only. Keep her off shows like inSession where I expect to receive the facts of the cases being covered and true analysis and coverage of the law.

I will miss Jack Ford a lot. Makes me want to go into law and somehow get into Yale just to take one of his classes :smile: . I will miss Jami's show, too. I know she isn't very popular but she is a defense attorney and I felt presented the defense side of things well, even if I didn't like all she had to say. I learned a lot from her and hope that they will continue to have a show that presents the defense side of the law.

I am glad Vinnie will be back. I truly hope they try and keep to the formula of presenting the facts of the case and explaining the law as opposed to a talking head just screaming his/her opinions ::eyes Ashleigh:: .

i agree completely. i was checking out the daytime schedule on HLN for next week hoping to see something that resembled a trial coverage show. didn't see anything listed. i did notice tho that the TruTV channel still has all the trial shows listed as before. don't know what to make of that. right now i have no idea where i'm supposed to go to catch the new shows!!!!

bon

[mobert]

I agree with Joolz and Bon. I used to really like Ashleigh, but the last couple of months or so, she's been way too opinionated, and hyper to boot! Watching the coverage yesterday and hearing the details of the young couple tortured and murdered was the worst thing I could imagine anyone ever going through. It was so difficult to listen to. And Ashleigh - while I agreed with her opinion - was so out of control that it made the whole two hours that much more stressful. I will miss Jack Ford. He is one class act. Very glad Jean and Beth will stay. I prefer their factual, non-biased reporting over hysterics. :mellow:

It's my understanding that Insession will stay on trutv. Next week new anchors and new sets. The trials will not be moving to HLN, just the production is moving to Atlanta out of New York.

I'll stick with watching the live trials on the computer screen. I rarely watch the taped trials when you have no choice but to watch the THs.

I think this move was the only way they could get rid of Jamie.

[KEG]

Am so glad to hear similar responses about 'dear ashleigh'. Became a fan of the old court tv with Ricky, Catherine, Vinnie ect. Of course Nancy use to drive me nuts. And then there was Ashleigh, a Nancy wanabe. Great news that she won't be making the trip to Hotlanta.

well this would make sense. i know that trutv still has the listings for the current hosts' shows. i suppose that info will be updated soon. but if it all stays where it's been so much the better. just have to reprogram my dvr to pick up the newly named shows i guess. i can handle that!

The live daytime programming from truTV's headquarters on Manhattan's east side will cease in mid-November. At that point
Turner Broadcasting's HLN in Atlanta will provide programming for truTV's daytime hours. Primetime reality programming will continue. truTV was the 10th most watched cable network in Total Day last week, ahead of CNN and MSNBC. In primetime, truTV was ranked #19, also ahead of CNN and MSNBC.



How embarrassing..higher ratings than CNN and MSNBC...

guess that doesn't mean much..:huh:

[hiitsme]

I liked the team of Guilfoyle and Politan on Court TV. I know Kim went to Fox, but her own show was shortlived.

[Chica]

I won't miss soapbox Ashleigh one bit...usually turned her off, loud, obnoxious and hysterical. Will definitely miss Jack Ford, a real gentleman, and Jamie Ford, always watching out for our rights and a lady. Thank you, both.

[Topaz]

I am really glad to see Vinnie has returned.

BUT....I do not like the manner in which he and the other male TH are
yelling the copy they are delivering.

Even Jean is hyped up this way today.

I find it extremely irritating and cheap, in fact, given the seriousness of the trial being covered today.

This dialog is being delivered as if this were a football game, not a trial!

[kennedy06]

Ok now I don't want to sound critical right off the bat but am I the only one that finds this "set" Vinnie is on very unappealing? This ugly yellow gold constantly rotating the words In S behind them as the speak, that isn't going to look good behind anybody.Then as the attorneys speak in their little boxes the words IS is also coming across the big screen in some boring blue colors and bars also. We get the name of the show! Their every hand movement is reflected in the desk and what is with the old black looking chair with silver arms Mike was in? Geesh now come on HLN, you are giving us great anchors now put some money into the set!:bored:

Thanks for Vinnie though :)

I :wub: Vinnie - I was so sad when he got canned awhile back & I am estatic he is back, but I do agree with you - the setup/background is just bizarre.. Too cramped of a space with too much going on in the bacckground..

but maybe we just need time to get used to it?

I love Mike Brooks but agree with the screeching-tone this morning.. I am hoping that they're all just anxious and nervous w/adrenaline pumping.. and it will smooth over soon. Brooks seemed to be talking very fast & seemed excitable.

I liked the new gal --- and like I have said, I adore Vinnie and I like Mike Brooks a lot too.. Maybe they just need to get into their "groove" -- and it will calm down.

I will miss Ashleigh (yes, I am one of her FEW fans, well - not really a "fan" but I did like her, even if she annoyed me a lot) and Jack though.

[Topaz]

Ashleigh was nothing compared to Vinnie today.

I've always liked Vinnie. But I turned him OFF.

I looked in twice with the new fellow, Gary. He was a bit less strident, but I have lost the momentum I had with the other anchors. I really miss Jack Ford. REALLY, REALLY.

You can't have this enhanced emotionality with the horror of some of these trials. It just doesn't work. I hope the producers here read this, and consider, the humanity of the topics that are presented on In Sessions.

Loved Ashleigh and I for one am surely gonna miss her,,,Today VINNIE who I love was yelling all day long...cut his mic down guys,,,also get a different set..this one looks like baby dodo....

Don't like the girl but love Mike Brooks..

So guess they will see how things go before making changes

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/abc/ashleigh_banfields_next_stop_abc_news_142921.asp

I think she's going to have a great career ahead of her. :biggrin: Like I said, I liked her ~ even if I didn't agree with her at times and even when she'd get sidetracked or a little too emotional. She still was an endearing personality (imho)..

Sad to see Jack Ford & Ashleigh go (And I am still bummed that Lisa Bloom is gone - she is my all-time favorite)...

But SUPER happy that we have Vinnie back.. :thumbup:

[ramirezi]

Can I add my complaint about how horrible InSession is now? I stopped watching after 3 1/2 hours. I can't stand all those men and mind numbingly dull as well. Why is the bottom bar even there? Remove the bottom few inches of the bar and give us additional screen. I feel like I'm watching replays of football moves.

The new inSession :thumbdown: Way too many men!

[warhorse46]

This venue is one that will be able to showcase Ashleigh's talents & is much more suited to her than In Session was. She was out of her element there & did not do herself or the network any good.

joolz i was reading your back post and i so agree about ashleigh i even wrote to her and asked her to please stop putting herself down and told her she is acting like she wants attention and reassurance and please stop it or i will stop watching her. to infer that we are all dumb because we are not lawyers is absurd. i liked jack and jami too and agree with you. so glad to see vinnie again. and yes i did feel that ashleigh was putting on a show for a new job also. i wish them all well regardless of the above

[moondance]

oh ram you are so right about that godforsaken bar i have yelled at that thing for years i hate it! and agree the set is so COLD and so ugly. i was laughing at them all day with their errors i know thats not nice but i couldn t help it and STOP YELLING also TOO MANY MEN i do miss jami and jack and lisa and RON KUBE

[davmoses]

I am glad to see Vinnie back (since his departure was forced on him before), but I really miss Jack and Jamie. The new format may grow on me in time, but there were a lot of mistakes and repetitive points being made in the first couple of days! Jean tried to hold it together somewhat. The new anchor sometimes talked as if this is the first trial we have ever watched. I have been a longtime fan of the network (I date back to the Menendez trials when the network was just getting started). There have been so many changes, but this one has not started well!

[ErinC1973]

I am totally disappointed in the new format. Vinnie seems to sensationalize this case. I noticed it when he did the background story. Everything is punched with drama. Monday was nothing but a comedy of errors: Vinnie and Ryan looking ahead when the side camera was rolling, not being able to cue up clips (and when Vinnie said "Do we HAVE it??!"), being cut off by music for a commercial break, interrupting guests and Jean Casares (both Vinnie and Ryan did this). And if Ryan says "Ok, you know what?" one more time I will scream. What was especially funny yesterday was when Ryan said "Ok, we're going to go to break, but, um, not right now. Right now we're going to go back into the courtroom." WTF?? And he says "ok, Jean, let's go to you first. Well, no, lets go to ____ first." Everyone looks uncomfortable in their chairs, the set is bad, and it's just weird that Vinnie comes on for an hour, then off for an hour, and back on again.

Mike Brooks and Midwin Charles have been doing nothing but auditioning. And everyone is yelling. Right now Vinnie is doing an interview, and the camera goes on the woman, who is shaking her head, saying, "I can't hear anything."

If they are the "hardest working legal team on TV", they need to raise their standards!

[Bonzo]

yeah i noticed a few miscues and sound problems during the shows but i suspect things should smooth out soon. new staff, nerves, jitters, whatever. as long as we get to see the trials i can always mute the TH moments til they get back into the courtroom.

i thot Vinnie was a New Jersey boy. how'd they get him to move to Atlanta??!!!

bon

[moondance]

erin i agree last night watching my dvr i was laughing again - too funny. but i don t think that is vinnie soing the sescription of the case in the beginning over and over i think that is ryan. vinnie seems calmer today and more like himself and ryan a little calmer but yes he says you know what over and over and i just laugh. last night i yelled out at them "is anybody in the control room lol yes-- a comedy of errors. but at least we have them, lets gime them a chance to warm up and please please take the banner down and make the set warm like the old one...moo
