Eight CBS Stations to Ditch CW and Go Independent This Fall

KBCW will be branded as KPIX+ and will launch an 8 and 9pm show. No word if they are adding a 10pm newscast.

KPIX finally updated their mic flags yesterday.
-
it’s interesting that Shayla has been filling in for Lisa Argen on weekend mornings the last 2 weeks at KGO. Legendary Spencer Christian was doing weather from home a few weeks ago. Must be under the weather. Frances Dinglasan was filling in for Spencer last week and this weekend. Drew Tuma pulled overtime the other day doing all newscasts except 11pm which looked taped and still worked Friday morning. I guess they couldn’t get Lisa. Spencer or Frances since Sandyha was out. Side note: KPIX. We only have 3 person weather team and we’re still surviving Not that I’m aware of….

KGO is fully staffed 1 morning traffic anchor Jobina Fortson who also does LIVE Desk updates since Alexis Smith left for Seattle years back. 7 On Your Side consumer Michael Finney reporter during the 4,5 and 6pm shows 3 investigative reporters. 1 full time (Dan Noyes) and 2 (Stephanie Sierra /Melanie Woodrow) that report in the field when not doing investigative reports 3 sports crew. (used to be 4) 2 on air (Larry Biel and Chris Alvarez) 3rd one (Casey Pratt) is a senior sports producer and will fill in from time to time 5 weatherperson team. (Used to be 6, recently left to KSHB) the 5th one (Frances Dinglasan) is the back up when needed

Someone posted earlier in the thread that call letters aren’t much of a factor when it comes to affiliation changes. FOX 5 in SD is still operating as KSWB (San Diego’s WB)
-
Or MyNetwork will go to KICU (KTVU Plus) KOFY could’ve waited instead of picking up GritTV im hoping KBCW takes advantage of KRON losing the prime time slot and KBCW will be the KCAL of the Bay Area.

KPIX tweaked the news ticker as of this morning. It does not have an orange ticker like it used to match with the morning graphics. It now matches what KOVR uses now. KPIX is only using a Headlines ticker instead of weather compared to what KOVR uses. https://youtu.be/eS-EuobGpTo

Sheesh didn’t realize it was that far back. KPIX only got the O&O Desk and Podium in February 2020 during Super Bowl

Just like FOX5 in San Diego. Their call letters are still KSWB (San Diego’s WB) -
Well that didn’t last long. I’m surprised they didn’t utilize the other tracks like KPIX uses.
-
Late to this post. I have NewsNation now on my YTTV lineup but KRON is still missing.

Aww man, a total downgrade for KSWB when they move. FOX5 is a 2 story building and well kept, however, KUSI’s building is so dated and falling apart. I remember them saying how the roof is leaking in the center of the studio and different parts of the newsroom. I hope Nexstar will invest and will bring the building up to date. KSWB’s building doesn’t have enough space for 2 studios. The way their studio is set up was such a unique design during the WB News at Ten era. (I can’t find the website that shows the design and layout) Basically, it was a hybrid newsroom and corner studio design along with a curved staircase that leads to an upstairs open area with a balcony and a corner office that overlooks downstairs. right below the upstairs corner office used to be the news director’s office which is now the weather center when the relocated the newsroom into the center of the building.
-
Looks like they also kept the 13 on the desk. KPIX is the only one in the group to change it to the call letters instead.
-
FOX 5’s BDI Set was under the Tribune era. Hopefully after this merger or sale, they won’t bust a KDVR and downgrade. then again KSWB’s original studio is very small during WB era and relocated the newsroom when they got the 360 set.

FINALLY A NEW SET RIP One and Only. Hello Aerial

KRON is already a MyNetwork Affiliate unless KICU (KTVU Plus) picks up the affiliation -

KPIX will need to ramp up and hire more staff including at least 2 more meteorologists and will be competing heavy with KRON of PIX decides to go the KCAL route. -
Former KUSI and FOX 5 anchor Paul Bloom has Died https://fox5sandiego.com/news/local-news/former-fox-5-anchor-paul-bloom-dies/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_source=facebook.com&fbclid=IwAR0ZpcZ_ii5QNy4OkxBH8eO9KLVLAMoxfbKO_Ci1x3jjIzg--0GKAjln0dw

KPIX uses all the cuts except the main intro heard on the other stations in the group. if they didn’t use that tacky 11pm production music for “The Late News,” then that main intro theme / opening cut seen on WCBS would work for 11pm The closest KPIX can get to using that theme is heard on the opening tease on WCBS before the intro. That cut with the soft ending (:17-:27) is used for the Noon and 3 closing.
-
There’s too many CBS 2’s. 4 to be exact in the O&O station group. Hence why they want to give each market a unique and local feel with the call letters since channels don’t mean anything these days with streaming. This leaves WCBS the only one that kept the CBS 2 in its branding. Chicago is going the call letter route like KDKA, and KCBS focusing on KCAL instead.
-
KGO mentioned on the 7am show that they are doing some jackhammering beneath the studio. since KGO and KRON are in the same building, KRON’s studio must be closer to the construction which noise could interfere with the newscast causing them to relocate them into the newsroom. As of the 8pm show, they are back in studio.
