So they're moving Jane into the new studio as well? I get the "marrying" concept they're doing, but I'm still a fan of "If it ain't broken..."

Well, Jane’s been working off a green-screen since the pandemic so maybe they’re retrofitting their set into TSS?

CBS confirms new format, name for CBS Mornings

From the article:

Starting September 7, the entire CBS morning schedule will be treated as a larger franchise, with weekdays and Saturdays featuring some of the in-depth and longform features for which the Sunday show — a TV-news institution — is best known.

Even the popular trumpet fanfare that greets viewers of “Sunday Morning” will find its way to its counterparts.  “There is a real affection for that program,” says Khemlani. CBS is counting on the sound of that horn to lure new viewers in an era when doing so has become a tougher task.

“We are essentially building a franchise that is seven days a week,” he adds.

WDJT is launching weekend morning newscasts starting 9/18

ABC News is taking over production oversight on Tamron Hall

Poppy Harlow is taking a sabbatical from her midday show to pursue a masters degree from Yale Law School.  She’ll return to her program full-time next spring and has a show in development at CNN Plus, but will make occasional appearances in the interim (including holiday fill-in work).

WMLW will be carrying the show weekdays @ 5pm (Mike & Molly is currently running in this timeslot) leading into the BBT hour at 6pm.

Nate Burleson in, Anthony Mason likely out come September

Tamron officially replacing Windy City Live

Can't remember the last time a lame duck station was thanked in a show's station move; makes me wonder if WCIU agreed to let Tamron (which was apparently doing well for them) go in exchange for other Disney programming.

What kind of shop are they running at The Doctors?  This is like the third host to sue over the years...

In Milwaukee...WITI is adding Nick Cannon (no timeslot known at the moment) and You Bet Your Life (weeknights at 10:35pm) this fall

It should be noted that some of the CW stations slated to carry the evening National Desk are in the Mountain and Pacific Time Zones, where it will air from 7:00-9:00 PT/8:00-10:00 MT; this means, since parts of the program will fall into The CW’s designated prime time slot, Sinclair’s Pacific Time CW affiliates will only be able to air the first hour (as hour #2 runs into the first hour of the network’s prime time lineup there) and its Mountain Time CW affiliates will only be able to carry the second hour (as hour #1 runs into the second hour of the network’s prime time lineup there).

From what I’ve read, the format of the evening edition will be structured so that stations can choose to carry either 30 minutes, an hour or all 2 hours of the program.

This feels like an overreaction; I don’t even think this is a suspendable offense in my eyes.  She made a mistake not having the station sign off on her apparence but the scene is innocuous enough and the content certainly wouldn’t violate any morals clause.  Hopefully this backlash will find Pinto new work.

I noticed NBC CT started a weekly kids show? Any other NBC O&O doing this? 
 

Seems like a great idea during this time and looks very well done, 2 episodes are on their YouTube page, the guide says it airs Fridays at 11:30. 

 

It’s not quite this but WITI has replaced one of their Judge Judy reruns at 12:00pm with rotating E/I programming (mostly encores from the Xploration Station block)

ABC is making another shift to its late-night schedule:

I’m also curious how legit the 4th role will be. Like will they have a fill in when one of the 4 is gone or just revert to a 3 anchor lineup?

I’m assuming it’ll contract to a trio when one’s away; there has been talk of both Norah and Gayle contributing to 60 Minutes this season, so I wonder if Bianna is there to be a permanent part of the show without being delegated to simply fill-in.
