    I get its a long-shot but KABC is playing dispatch and KGO has adopted KPIX’s former brand. Nothing is out of the realm of possibility.

    Dispatch might be a little “too New York,” but it’s an improvement over KABC’s last package. All KABC, KGO, WLS, and KTRK need now is the WABC Eyewitness News font.

    With the Versant split, there should be plenty of room in 30 Rock for a studio of their own.

    For the love bring back the Westinghouse 2 to KDKA

    Is GMA’s move to Hudson Yards a done deal? With GMA falling behind Today in ratings for the past month, maybe it’s causing second thoughts?

    KDKA is a great example of the effect being a CBS O&O can have on a station. Dropping Susan Koeppen during the pandemic was a terrible move. WTAE deserves to be #1 in the ratings. They give a shit. KDKA and WPXI are coasting.

    Will Lonnie Quinn handle the CBS Deals portion of the Evening News or will Gayle handle that?

    No doubt whatever they do will be on the cheap. I think CBS News at the national and local level have given up on trying to compete. The strategy is to make money in third place.

    Brian Williams for CBSEN!

    Sure seems like a cluster. It’s hard to understanding the decisions CBS is making.

    The new slogan is based on what people say when watching—“For the love of Chicago, turn it to channel 7!”

    The 1999 WABC cut might not be the perfect choice for KABC, but I think it’s a lot better than what they had been using.

    WTAE is pretty much the only station putting in any effort. KDKA or “CBS NEWS PITTSBURGH” is coasting on its heritage and the effects of Apollo are evident in the product WPXI is putting out.

    I always thought Dan would have been a great replacement for Charlie Rose on CBS This Morning.

    Jamie Apody’s departure is official. https://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/news/2024/04/26/jamie-apody-departing-6abc-after-months-off-air.amp.html

    If I remember correctly, Chuck didn’t do much to move the needle at WNBC. It was the addition of Sue and their pairing that made 4 a ratings contender.
  17. newscopter7
    And this is supposed to be an update?
  18. newscopter7
    Welp so much for Y&R and B&B getting canned and NBC Waiting Room News being the future. CBS has a new soap in development.

    Being on set makes such a huge difference—the show is better.

    Pittsburgh’s WPCW is set to be branded as KDKA+. Seems contradictory to the push to deemphasize legacy brands. With Neeraj Khemlani out the door, does this mean the end of “CBS News+City” branding? How long until Eyewitness News returns to KYW? https://triblive.com/aande/movies-tv/tv-talk-channel-19-to-re-brand-as-kdka-change-call-letters/

    My guess is it will mostly be a two person broadcast with Nydia continuing on weekends.
  22. newscopter7
    Talk about throwing your career away….
  23. newscopter7
    Ted Turner for CEO

    Days hasn’t gone to Peacock to die. It’s one of Peacock’s most streamed series if not the most. And the show that replaced it on NBC is pulling 500,000 less viewers than Days.

    I don’t know that it’s fair to through WCBS in the same category as KCBS and WBBM. I think they’ve worked hard at recovering from the 1996 massacre and having become a competitor again. The new music may work for some stations, but it’s too light for New York. It’s why WABC has stuck with the 1999 version of the Eyewitness News theme. The version KABC uses is way too light for NYC.
