Other ideas: CBS New York News Now. CBS News York Now. CBS News Now York. Now CBS New York News. Now News New York CBS. Now New News York Now Now Now. Now Bedtime.

I think this is a brilliant idea. KCBS isn't going to take a ratings hit – they have nowhere to go but up. 6am hour P25-54 27 Jun - 1 Jul KCBS 0.0 rating, 1 share KNBC 0.1 rating, 2 share KTLA 0.5 rating, 15 share KABC 0.2 rating, 7 share KCAL (Relative Justice) 0.0 rating, 1 share KTTV 0.2 rating, 7 share Sure, it's only July when morning ratings are pretty soft anyway with school not in session, but May didn't look any better for KCBS.

I think this is actually a good move, because like awards shows being taped and edited, the network morning show ending up with the same type of treatment when you've got it available live through SXM or your streaming service has gotten downright stupid; it's why Pacific Time stations are taking the 6:30pm ET newscasts more and more live at 3:30pm PT, and where the network overnight newscasts used to be live in all time zones, you only have World News Now done and out by 2:30am, then onto the morning newscasts by 3:00am. If you're a CBS station with no morning news, that means if you air the CBS Morning News at 6:30am PT...that's a six hour old newscast you're carrying (with a twelve-hour old newscast leading into that). And then you're leading into a morning show when Today is already onto Hota and Jenna outside breaking news days and CBS Times Square is empty and unused. It's an outmoded model, and there shouldn't be this artificial wall up around watching a morning show live in PT because 'that's the way it's always been'. I know KCBS will take a ratings hit, but you gotta start experimenting, and why keep KCAL in infomercial hell when they can be live 4-11? Most Fox stations are already in this mode, so it's basically CBS being adventurous and being the first here. I don't mind that they're going for it, and frankly, KPIX/KBCW should be next, and KOIN/KRCW should get incentives to try it themselves. You already basically had KOVR/KMAX as a half-model of this (their local show is active 4:30-11), and that seems to work pretty well for Sacramento.

NEXT should’ve been an alternate branding with markets that use “First Alert” in other competing stations like WTVJ and KNBC.

You were right. New anchor at Fox29 WXIA's lifestyle show was 1.5 hours for awhile

CBS New York tonight on streaming aired a one hour rebroadcast of the 6:00 newscast on the day after the blackout of '77, which happened 45 years tonight. At helm was Jim Jensen and Pre-ET/Roundball Rock John Tesh. https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/video/a-look-back-major-blackout-hits-new-york-city-on-july-13-1977/

The set has been under construction for awhile now and Kathy's been in the position on an interim basis for much of that time. I'm pretty sure she signed off on it. That said, with as much as the station is bleeding money, I doubt they'd rip out a set this close to the finish line.

WPTV uses it, so does WBBH. In other words, all NBC affiliates (WTVJ's being an O&O) in Southern Florida (I mean South of I-4) use the First Alert branding.

Kind of mixed feelings about the NEXT weather for WFOR. I know that WTVJ had the First Alert Weather for a long time now, still think First Alert is too generic though.

How about CBS NYC News Now or CBS 2 News Now?

Thanks for posting this. Haven't seen LA Ratings in so long. Keep posting, interested in these numbers.

Maybe I overestimate the market for this kind of thing but I'm surprised none of the non-big-three stations on the west coast (that I know of) is doing the reverse of KCBS and doing a live nation/world focused newscast up against the three-hour-old network newscasts. Nexstar could even slap a NewsNation logo on the version from KTLA or KRON and simulcast it on cable. I know Hawaii is pretty late to the party both in terms of how much things are delayed and how long it took them to get satellite feeds instead of flying in videotapes, but it seems to work well enough for KHON to have kept it all these years.

KTVX Salt Lake City is calling. They got Good Things Utah on from 9:00-11:00 a.m.

THIS!! KPIX needs to hire more staff and ramp up KBCW again. Why don’t you just cut the KPIX 5 News 6am simulcast off in place of gospel programming that currently airs at 7am. Then this is when you take advantage and air CBS BAY AREA NEWS at 7am that you just launched yesterday that’s only available online and on PlutoTV in that 7am time slot. 10pm is when you bring back an evening newscast since you cancelled Bay Area Nightbeat. However KRON and KTVU have been dominating Mornings and the 10pm slot. It would be hard to try and enter the competition race.

Per Fox 5, Ernie was off to Harvard Business School to get his MBA, similar to reporter Baruch Shemtov. Sukanya was pushed out by the former PIX management over allegedly not welcoming replacement Betty Nguyen on social media. To my recollection, no one at 'NYW made mention of Dari's exit.

Either way, that seems like an obscene amount of local news for the market. There’s a midterm election coming up, so they’ll certainly be raking in the ad dollars. Also, I suppose this gives doctor’s offices something to put on in the waiting room.

Eyewitness News was a better fit for Lori, but IIRC WABC was dealing with a…situation with both a horrible GM and a horrible ND. As for Ernie, he was in his mid 70s when he left in 2019. He’d already stopped anchoring the more traditional 5/10p newscasts at that point, and he probably just wanted to retire after a long career. Speaking of which, today is Ernie’s 78th birthday. Happy Birthday Ernie, and keep *plucking* along.

Earnie Anastos 25th anniversary tribute video from the mid 2000s! Nostalgic seeing all the old New York anchor teams from back then

I've said before, given CBS's history of a revolving door of morning shows, i'm not sure it makes sense to rebrand their local newscasts around a national morning show that may not see the end of the decade. Off-topic but, they should've just stuck with "CBS This Morning" as they already had it going for about 9 years. EDIT: the rebrand to be more aligned with CBS Sunday Morning could've just as easily been done with the og CTM branding. Agreed that "Mornings" sounds like a programming block more than an actual newscast title. The layman viewer probably just thinks of "Mornings" as The Gayle King Morning Show.

So much News on every channel in LA except from 2-3pm, 3:30-4pm, and 11:35pm - 4am More car chases to come…. 4am - 2pm News Hour Break from 2 - 3pm 3 - 3:30pm News (:30 min break) 4 - 11:35pm News

WAVY 6pm news from August 1990. My first time seeing a 6pm open with Wall to Wall/The Team!

Next. It’s a no for me. It’s as bad as when KTLA used “MetroVision Weather” back in 2006

Looks great!

This youtube creator parody of an 80s ABC O&O newscast deserves to be in the classic video - such attention to detail right down to the tone and facial expression for the opening story

Is it original? No. However, I'm not mad at it. It is different and unique. I get what they're trying to do. It'll be how they implement it and use the branding that we'll get an idea of it better.

WCCO did not go for "First Alert"... But say hello to "Next Weather"! https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2022/04/21/what-is-next-weather/
