CBS Evening News sees more ratings growth in total viewers; slightly down on A25-54. Down -3% YoY.

The Evening News Plus should be carried by the network as well. Both half hours compliment each other and feels more complete than the 30 minute broadcast imho. Has more substance and more day of news. Could be an area that CBS could have a competitor to PBS NewsHour and maybe force NBC and ABC to follow along with the change.

God I wish they would reunite Velshi & Ruhle on Primetime

This is what happens always. The viewers always yell "gee we want a quality newscast". You give them an excellent broadcast and then they are like "lol sike not like that".

John Dickerson is the Harry Smith/Anthony Mason of CBS in this era

I don't think it's particularly egregious. When Janet Shamlian introduced her piece with "as we made our way around the middle of the country reporting this week..." doesn't sound like a lack of news coverage or that it isn't on the daily record because the doctor said it was only wednesday. It's a look back on the week and it is part of the daily record. This is being overblown.

Reading on the comments online, the viewers liked the new format.

I enjoyed the broadcast. Hopefully CBS won't let their intrusive thoughts win lol. But yes, a very solid broadcast. I love the similarity to a local newscast, but national. And smart.

I am looking forward to see what CBS came up for this new era of the Evening News. I hope they don''t f it up. But it is CBS.

They aren't bad. They need to use the "correct" track. And com'on now KABC, give the 11PM to Jovana. It's time.

KPIX is going to get KCAL'd. About 8 weeks construction for the new set per KPIX GM on a linked in post.

I don't know where to post this, but Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews, CBS News President, is stepping down from her post. https://www.mediamoves.com/2024/07/ingrid-ciprian-matthews-announces-shell-step-down-as-cbs-news-president.html

Bell Media announced a major round of cuts in Canadian newsrooms, including the cancellation of all 12PM Newscasts with the exception of Toronto. With the exception of Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa.

Wow this is very bizarre. Makes me sick. And they claim to be unbiased but who really can trust that?

Who has higher ratings at 11PM? Telemundo or the english newscasts?

Canadian blog fagstein is reporting that globemedia will launch, today, November 13th an early edition of CTV National News to be anchored by Sandie Ronaldo. The newscast will be followed by the local, hour-long 6PM newscast. Here is the post: https://blog.fagstein.com/2023/11/02/ctv-national-news-at-530/

The station that uses Dimensional the best is CBS 5. I don't understand why the other O&O's don't use the full package like CBS 5 does.

Harry Porterfield passed away.

Or maybe two? Have they had Sade and Joe anchor recently? I don't think Bill will give up the 6PM chair just yet, as Bill and Liz recently celebrated 20 years as the 6PM team. Unless Bill gives up the 6PM, and only will focus on the 5 & 11PM news?

Well that underscores Jennifer Pierce, doesn't it?

How are their numbers doing?

Sounds like he was sacked from CBS. The two managers experiment didn't quite work for CBS News. Let's see what's in store for them.

Welcome

Yes, it's the investigative theme. When I hear it, I picture WBBM though. I wouldn't mind if they keep it. It goes well with their hard news/investigative style for the past few years.
