Wrong... Young and talent doesn't last in small markets not large markets. Again KYW\CBS O&Os run a young and cheap operation. I can speak from experience on that one knowing what positions offer and who accepts them vs who doesn't. Salaries are considerably less and they rather try and train vs bring in seasoned talent. You need seasoned talent on the streets for I-pieces who know how to work and manage sources and have the experience handling a complicated situation\story that occurs in a large market vs a smaller market. But what do I know.. I only have 30 years in the business

Please, get it out of your head. CBS will not outsource a news operation at one of it’s largest O&O stations in the 4th largest television market. CBS is not going to make a deal with ABC or NBC for WPVI or WCAU (two market leaders/network O&Os) to produce a newscast for a CBS affiliate, especially one owned by the network. No. No one is denying that KYW’s news department is a dumpster fire and changes ought to be made. But your definition of a change is “outsource” or “shutter the news department.” The only CBS O&O which doesn’t have a news department is KYW’s sister station in Detroit, which is one of CBS’ moneymakers in that it costs pennies to run and that CBS can run it as a passthrough without spending money on a serious news department. CBS is not going to shut down or outsource a long-standing news department — and to an extent, a Philly institution, simply because the product is crap.

and... you're wrong again! Just stop posting because you have no clue how local news works https://t.co/HHxrW05s2W

WPVI/WCAU run a seasoned and older operation. Especially WPVI; the reason why they’re number one is because their anchors and reporters have been around forever. Even ‘PVI’s “young” talent is top notch. Same with NBC10. At KYW other than Ukee Washington and maybe Natasha Brown who there has been around longer than 5years? Talent comes and goes at that station. No real connection with the city and it’s residents. Unlike Action News where their Anchors are household names. There’s a reason why so many have abandoned ship at KYW. It’s a station you come to build your resume and add market 4 to your list of accomplishments; and then head National. This Ain’t some flyover market in Kansas. It’s a place where people should aspire to get to and WANT to stay long term. That’s how u build a successful station. By hiring people who find it an honor to be in Philadelphia. It’s a shame what has happened to CBS. Long gone are the likes of Walt Hunter, Pat C, Malcolm Poindexter, Trudy Hanes, Larry Kane, etc But that’s the business nowadays: Young, Pretty, & CHEAP.

The next Morning News primetime special is set for Nov. 14 at 7pm.

Hope so too. Would be nice to also see something produced for the 50th.

ABC7NY has a page where a few pieces of archival video have been posted. They are from various news events over the last 50 years. Only 8 so far, but I’m sure more will be posted soon. https://abc7ny.com/eyewitnessnews50/

...and FOX comes to "rescue" her from mean old NBC, right about the time those contract "renewal" talks should start. She just needs FOX to cooperate an take her back, because now that all those bad men are gone and dead, she should be safe to return....right? You think she is cocky now? Just wait...... EDIT: Roker wants her fired... .https://radaronline.com/exclusives/2018/10/al-roker-wants-megyn-kelly-fired-blackface-scandal-nbc-today-show/
