it's a shame that someone of her talent caliber and personality just disappeared from the airwaves. She and Sue Simmons should've been hitting their retirements right about now, if not still on the air like Kaity Tong.

This one hurts, and I feel bad for all of the people who worked at that studio.

Longtime legendary WCBS-TV reporter Jennifer McLogan, long recognized for covering the Long Island beat, is stepping back from daily duties at WCBS-TV after 36 years, but is not retiring entirely from the station, staying part-time for 2-3 days a week. Oh, and the McLogan staple will continue... as her daughter Elle is following in her footsteps, covering the Queens beat, and has been there since 2017. She put together the tribute for her own Mama.

Steve Weagle's final broadcast after 27 years at WPTV. He said he planned to retire four years ago... glad he stuck around for more time. But now... he's done. At least he gets to retire before Christmas.

Not sure if this is the best thread to put this but I'm unaware of one more relevant. It might be time for PBS to seriously rethink its spending at the corporate level - and beyond just talking about it. High-level corporate employees are receiving rather high salaries for what is legally a non-profit organization. The CEO of PBS received over a million dollars in 2023. That is completely unsustainable. If you're running a non-profit, I don't have a problem with you receiving a pay proportional to the work you're doing. And certainly as a CEO you deserve to be paid as you've worked hard to get to that position. But over a million dollars just in one year? I'm not sure under what circumstances that would ever be considered appropriate levels of pay for a nonprofit educational TV network - with or without Federal funding. It certainly won't solve the shortfall induced by losing Federal funds. But if PBS cuts spending at the corporate office to something more appropriate, maybe they won't need to charge as much to its member stations.

Tens of people will be so disappointed.

A general history overview of news music that most people on this board probably already know about.

I saw this. I'm glad, though a bit disappointed that he didn't cover the Seven Network, considering their use of The Mission and several variations of it since then.

Tony Dokopil is new Scott Pelley?

So starting this discussion in advance, who will be next next host of Evening News in 2027? Also with Tony and Gayle possiblly leaving, CBS is again sacrificing it's morning show to bump evenings. The three anchors have great chemistry and I'd hate to see them broken up.

I just hope the fictional Good Morning, Miami from the short-lived early 2000s NBC sitcom of the same name that was somehow based out of WPTV's buidling in West Palm Beach is able to find a new home closer to Miami. Or did that get turned into a ScrippsCast too? /s

Are those bottomless pits on either side of the desk?

Another nail in the CBS News coffin. Bari Weiss will interview Charlie Kirk's widow on CBS - Los Angeles Times

But that's not a Big Bad Nexstar problem. In a world of industry-wide automation and hard cut-offs, everyone should know better, and the team in the control room failed him.

I'm sorry but I would think that could have been handled so he knew the timing and not be cut off, then continue off camera after whatever hand off they had. It just seems extremely disrespectful.

You know when I look back at Roz's career. I felt like WCBS took her spotlight away. She was there for only 2 years and then left the business altogether. She should've stayed at WABC in hindsight. WCBS just did not treat her as well as WABC did. WABC was her home. I hope she's doing well in her retirement years. I miss her so much. She had such a tenacious personality with WABC.
