History

From 1988-1990 Jim Ryan anchored solo, with Julie Golden doing weather. In 1990, Lyn Brown became part of the GDNY team as the anchor of ''Good Day Wakeup''. Brown later flipped positions with then GDNY co-host Maria Genero, with Genero anchoring Wakeup with Mario Bosquez. When Maria Genero was let go from FOX, Brown moved back to Wakeup with Mario Bosquez , Ryan anchored GDNY solo, and Brown provided news updates and interviews.
In 2003, Mario Bosquez left WNYW for WCBS, and was replaced by Chris Gailus on ''Wakeup''. Brown also did news and interviews on GDNY, with Ryan acting as primary anchor. Ryan and Brown displayed a great deal of chemistry on-air, and she was on-air for the majority of the 7-9am block. In 2004, Lucy Noland joined WNYW and then anchor of Wakeup with Galius, with Galius also taking over as newsreader on GDNY with Ryan as main anchor. Brown was only on GDNY from 7-9am hours, doing interviews and feature stories.
When Chris Galius was placed on the evening news, Brown was brought back for a few months to anchor Wakeup with Noland, continuing to provide interviews and feature stories on GDNY. Jodi Applegate later replaced Brown completely, when she went over to the evenings with Ernie Anastos, anchoring solo from 6-7am with Noland, acting as newsreader and co-anchoring with Ryan on GDNY from 7-9am. Ryan retired shortly thereafter, and Galius took over as co-anchor of GDNY from 6-9am, with Noland doing news updates and news-related interviews. Noland then anchored Wakeup solo.
Between then, in April 2006, former WCBS-TV traffic agent Vanessa Alfano joined WNYW As a features reporter and susbstitute weatherperson for the morning programs. At the same time, she is a full-time weathercaster at WWOR-TV In Secaucus, New Jersey.
In the latter part of 2006, Mark Joyella joined the ''Good Day New York'' team with his infamous ''Mark's Missions'' and ''FOX Soup'' which aired every Friday. The first segment was where he would be assigned missions from the anchors and if he did not complete the missions as they were requested, he would be ordered to do embarrassing stints. The latter segment, ''Fox Soup'', reflected on the highlighted mistakes/bloopers that occurred in the corresponding week. Of the segments, it featured the ''Good Day'' Gang.
Mark Joyella left the station in early 2007. His two segments were dropped as well. Though he was a full-time reporter for WNYW-TV, Vanessa Alfano has only filled in part-time as she is a part-time reporter. In March 2007, both Lucy Noland and Stacy-Ann Gooden left GDNY. Linda Lopez unofficially replaced Noland. Noland is now an anchor at KHOU-TV. Gooden now works at WRNN-TV. Gooden was replaced by Ines Rosales.

''FOX 5 Live At 11''

In addition to this program, there is a half-hour program that broadcasts in the latter morning, called ''FOX 5 Live'' (also known as ''FOX 5 Midday''), which is currently anchored by Lynda Lopez and Reid Lamberty, on a trial condition.

History of ''Fox 5 Midday''

At the time of the newscast's inception, the broadcast was hosted by Mario Basquez and Lyn Brown when the newscast was incepted back in 1995. The program is another newscast, which originally aired at 11:30 AM is similar to noon broadcasts on rival stations with the same . When Basquez left the station in 2003 and headed to WCBS-TV, Brown anchored the program solo until her retirement on June 30, 2006.
Immediately afterwards, Lucy Noland became the anchor of the broadcast, with Mike Woods as the weather expert. When Noland left in March, Lynda Lopez began a trial-basis to host this program. Craig, Corning and Applegate occasionally fill in and do reports for the broadcast and Vanessa Alfano fills in with the weather. Reid Lamberty will join Lynda as co-anchor beginning August 13, 2007. The two will trial run the mornings together to permanently replace Lucy Noland and Chris Gailus. [1]
This newscast premiers at 11 a.m. on WNYW-TV. Before September 12, 2006, the newscasts premiered at 11:30 AM, but was pushed up a half-hour to help improve the ratings of the midday cast. The ploy has not worked, with ABC's ''The View'' currently in the lead for the 11 a.m. timeslot.
Since promotions are depended on the highest broadcasts within a single shift, the current trials puts both Lamberty and Lopez in a higher position than GDNY hosts Jodi Applegate and Ron Corning.
