680 News Brings In Morning Anchors For Rare Sunday Shift
I'm guessing the folks at 680 were expecting a very different outcome, even going to the extent of bringing regular weekday anchors Paul Cook and Catherine Jettté to do the Sunday morning run at 6 AM (EST.)
I'm not sure if that's ever happened before, but obviously they were hoping to be reporting on the happy chaos on the streets after a Jays' win. Other weekday reporters were also working the previous night, looking for celebrating Jays fans. Needless to say, they didn't find any.

That's unnecessary. Even if they did win, who would be listening at 6am? Even the partiers would've gone home by then.....

I heard this, this morning and don't have an issue with it. Rogers ( the parent company) have put a lot of time and money in getting the team this far. Its only good business to have your "A" team covering the story no matter what happens.

I'm guessing they thought the Jays would win, the city would be going crazy and it was worth having all hands on deck. By the time it became clear that wasn't the case, it was probably too late to stop it.
They also had a lot of their live reporters out late Saturday night (like Carl Hanstke and Kevin Misener) getting reaction from disappointed fans across the GTA. Normally, those people would have had the weekend off, too.

I think Rogers has repatriated 680's overnights back to Toronto. I haven't heard the Vancouver content in a while now. The news readers also seem to be good during the overnights. At one time, they were not.

Re: 680 News Brings In Morning Anchors For Rare Sunday Shift
I guess the only question I have would be: Did this move slight the regular Sunday morning crew somehow?
This was a scheduled news event so 680News could plan for it, but what happens when an unscheduled news event happens on a late Saturday night/early Sunday morning? Will the Sunday regulars feel they have management's confidence if Paul Cook and Catherine Jetté aren't called in?
