heres a clip of the open for the 11 o’clock broadcast.

One has to think it's to split the workload between KPIX / KCBS, so as not to overwhelm the KCBS staff.

Time difference, common branding, studio and control room capacity... definitely see why KCBS was chosen to do the evening newscasts. Would like to know why they decided to do the morning shows out of KPIX instead of keeping it all in Los Angeles.

KCBS taking control of WCBS' evening newscasts again tonight. Curious why KPIX handled the morning newscast, though. Also wonder if they're doing weekend morning news tomorrow and Sunday, as well.

The. issue is studio space and timing. KYW, WJZ, WBZ, WBBM etc. all broadcast news at the same time as WCBS. It made more sense to move it to KCBS. KCBS probably has more network capabilities too, so all the throws to local reporters in the fields, weather etc. were seamless. It's no different than if the CBS Evening News originated from LA. The systems probably are in place. Although many groan about the standardized look of many CBS and NBC O&O's, to the casual viewer you would not have known that the broadcast originated in LA. NBC has other options - in the past they have used CNBC's HQ in Englewood Cliffs, or Telemundo 47 in Fort Lee when 30 Rock has had an issue that prevented the use of the studio. They also have SNY as an option too as NBCSports is a part owner. CBS does not have those options as they are clustered on W57th street.

This is surreal.

The infamous OJ Simpson White Bronco chase as seen on Noticiero Telemundo back in 1994 via WNJU. Also includes some clips from WNYW, Noticiero Univision and WXTV Noticias 41.

I keep forgetting that 52nd and 6th is only for WCBS Newsradio 880. I thought at one time or another there was some actual studio space in that building. You make a good point with the rest of the East Coast O&O's. Yes, LA is the perfect choice. I'd rather them than Boston to produce the CBSN programming. However, from a viewer's perspective its nice watching CBSN Boston during the day and the KCBS produced WCBS newscasts. Just only wished WCBS had more options in regards to addition contingency plans within New York City.

For those if you're keeping score: (weather was done outside live in various towns powered by the CBS 2 Mobile Weather Lab with Vanessa Murdock (in Manhattan and NJ) in the AM, Lonnie Quinn (in Westport, CT) (who was pre-recorded Thursday) in the PM, John Elliot (in Newark) on Saturday. Wednesday night & Thursday morning (3/12), they used the CBSN New York studio and graphics with Dick Brennan at 11pm and Chris Wragge in the AM. Noon (both days): Inside Edition aired. 5-6:30pm (both days): DeMarco Morgan (who used to work at WNBC from '08 to '12) anchored from KCBS' studio. 9pm (both nights): Inside Edition and Entertainment Tonight aired instead of CBSN New York at 7pm 9pm on WLNY. 11pm/E (both nights): Pat Harvey with Jaime Maggio (Thu) & Kristin Smith (Fri) on sports anchored from KCBS' studio (while KCAL is live nearby). Friday and Saturday morning: Elizabeth Cook anchored from KPIX's studio. No local news updates as they chose to do a CBS News update from DC as it would've interfere with KPIX's AM news and the national map for the local weather update. I think should cancel the weekend morning newscast & WLNY's news this weekend and focus only on the 6 & 11 shows whoever will be producing them. (According to TitanTV, they are doing just that, News is on at 9am.) It could been worse, luckily for the mild winter NYC had, there was no severe weather to deal with. For the KCBS/KCAL's, KPIX's and WBZ's anchors and the production crews as well, this is for you: Here's the AM open from KPIX:

That secondary link live streamed the broadcast.

Doesn’t CBS still have the old WLNY 10/55 studio in Melville or did they sell that off too? Last I heard of it, it was converted into a bureau for CBS 2

A WNYT news tease from 1985:

I'm a bit surprised that KYW hasn't help out it's neighbors down the turnpike meanwhile WBZ and KCBS are doing a great job with the coverage. Very interesting watching the CBSN Boston most of the day yesterday in NYC. Day 2- CBSN New York via CBSN Boston..

Anyone got link of the WCBS 11pm with Pat? Looks like Pat was able to toss to the WCBS reporters in the field. If you were a casual TV news watcher, I'd assume one couldn't tell any difference.

Pat Harvey!!

Controversial opinion: I don't hate the graphics on WBNS. The theme, yeah, no, but it looks good enough.

I wonder if others step in, like Scripps? Also stock prices will likely recover after the COVID-19 crisis ends.

And Chris, here is my version of the KTTV close using your file. https://drive.google.com/file/d/10XmGrWAsO_wy0nfJMoBe3ys1EcXojZ_1/
