Jane's New York - NBC4

[sfenn1117]

Right now on channel 4, Jane's New York is about the architecture of New York City. The first 10 minutes has been good, I encourage you to join in if you are reading this right now. It has talked about the history thus far, up next is about churches.

I'm not sure if there will be a rerun...I would imagine there will be at some point.

Guess you guys were the only ones watching. From Gothamist:
On air after being fired
Joe Avellar, Dr. Max Gomez and Jane Hanson were let go last Wednesday (http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/ent_radio/story/471649p-396883c.html). However, it didn’t stop WNBC from airing Hanson’s last Jane’s New York (http://www.wnbc.com/janesny/index.html) this past Saturday evening. The final installment of the Hanson’s Emmy award winning series focused on local architecture.http://www.gothamist.com/archives/2006/11/21/television_watc.php (3rd item).

Too bad, some of the Jane's New York episodes were pretty good.

You can still catch Jane's New York on the NBC+ weather channel - usually very late at night

Emmy award-winning? Her show on architectecture was complete garbage. She deserves to be fired for it. She showed buildings but never gave us their names (let alone addresses), she filled the show with meaningless commentary from herself and gathered smart people (Paul Goldberger, Barry Lewis) and then frustratingly never let them speak for more than 3 words, and she set the whole thing to music so that it came across as an extended, uber-boring music video. Only a person with an absolute contempt for architecture would produce such a show. And why would you even try to summarize ALL of NYC's architecture in 22 minutes, any way? Good riddance to her.

^Sure it was awful, but consider the source (WNBC), which canned Jane Hanson and kept Cindy Adams. Some of the pix were pleasant enough, though. I see that "Jane's New York" is to be reaired 15 times on NBC4.4 (aka Ch. 4 Weather or TimeWarner Ch. 732) during the next 6 days. Not sure if all of them are the architecture one.

I can't believe she was fired....any of them actually.

At least Sue Simmons is still there.....she is my favorite anchor in NY, on any station.
