    Wasn't this the plan all along? CBS never once indicated that local news would debut on launch day.

    Another regional cable news channel is likely coming to an end. New England Cable News (NECN) is being dropped from Comcast cable systems on July 1. Comcast owns the channel and I believe that there is very little original programming airing; it's most simulcasts of WBTS/Boston (NBC O&O) newscasts, recorded lifestyle programming, and infomercials. While owner Comcast is dropping it from their systems, the article notes that other providers haven't announced its removal, so it may live on a bit longer.

    Don't be so sure: "As we've always stated, we have no sacred cows," Ripley said during his company's earnings conference call. (Source)

    I would say it's seven with an asterisk. AJ Burnett and Michael Page are producers who occasionally appear on-air. Harvey Leonard is their retired former-Chief who occasionally appears.

    They have done that for over 20 years!

    Was the test a success?

    I don't know that there's anything we didn't already know, but here's a release detailing the transition: https://www.paramountpressexpress.com/cbs-news-and-stations/releases/?view=108406-cbs-to-transition-eight-company-owned-stations-from-affiliates-of-the-cw-to-independents-on-friday-sept-1

    boston38.com was purchased in 2006.

    In the major markets it certainly can. It's two hours of programming. This is not akin to losing a major network affiliation with numerous time periods to fill.

    KCAL is doing the same thing. I believe KDKA and WCCO do, too. It has never appeared as though this was a one size fits all approach to the brandings.

    CBS and Paramount+ NBC and Peacock Fox and Tubi

    Other than pure speculation, is there any evidence to indicate that the KCAL branding is transitional?

    I'm curious how the legacy stations will (or in KPIX's case, do) brand outside of news. Does KPIX's syndicated programming bug or top of the hour legal ID have the CBS eye? Or is it simply the same box with the call letters?

    WBZ has the same thing leading into their 9am broadcast.

    Other than the weather icons, they look great. Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday look like there's nothing there!
