Action Newsroom

Gayle King has re-signed with CBS.

I love this new look of the streaming network. The graphics look simple but great, the new music sounds amazing and the set looks fantastic (and the desk finally has a regular home). This whole new look is very well done and better than both ABC and NBC by far.

As mentioned in "CNN to Launch CNN+":

That's nice. No thanks, I don't want to; I gave it a rest hours ago. I just wanted to finish my piece and move on. If you do, fine. I apologize that you felt that way.

Whatever, bud. Good to know. I admit yes, and that's my fault; apparently twice is often to you, but no that's not the reason. And you too have a nice day.

Okay, you relax. Not everyone does 2.5 hour TV news shifts every weeknight. That's the thing. And that's also commonplace. I didn't see a big deal or difference either until earlier. That's just my opinion. I'm done here.

I will say again, I said two hours a night. Mornings is one completely different thing. Since Jim and Jackie does more, that's their prerogatives. But I'm referring to Rick. Don't put words in my mouth.

It was mentioned at the end of the show.. He said he'll be back from time to time to cameo. Sorry, I should've made that clear in my last post. I mean why should he stay at 10pm? I wouldn't want to spend more than 2 hours to a night if I were him.

The announcement of Rick as new 11pm anchor was mentioned at the end of the 10pm earlier tonight. I'm very happy for Rick, and he's very deserving as Jim's successor. Now, I'm very curious about who'll succeed him at 10pm.

As are Rick and Sharrie.

Crap, that gives you pause doesn't it? ABC dodged a major bullet.

Good for him. I wish him the best and I hope he has much better, more content and less volatile tenure with CNN+ as his former employer becomes an even more dark cloud of intentional embellishments, falsehoods and misinformation.

Great news! I love her personality during her reports. I'm sure they'll update the recent promos to add her in.

Looks suitable for (yet worse than) those sets for a news sketch on Saturday Night Live.

Brian Taff will be filling in on Good Morning America this weekend. https://www.facebook.com/100044571123351/posts/455630839265950/

Here's Jim's on-air message to the viewers at the end of tonight's 6pm news: https://www.facebook.com/9335481377/posts/10158902974646378/

Wow, this hits hard. It's going to be a completely different landscape in market #4 without Jim. He absolutely earned and deserves his retirement after over four decades as Philadelphia's most trusted and beloved news anchor, but I personally will miss him on my TV screen every weekday evening.

I thought it was two notes, wasn't it?

I think it's great. I don't think they'll be the #2 show on Saturdays from now on automatically, but if they keep up the pace and great content for a while, this'll be a cause for celebration.

Today marks the 70th anniversary of the debut of CBS' Eye logo -- one of the greatest, most influential and enduring representations of television ever made. Here's a Sunday Morning segment from 2001 for it's 50th anniversary revealing its origins: And here's a history of IDs and jingles:

Yep, I heard it too. And it has been used; It's played the tail end of the end credits of primetime programming.

Confirmed.

Meghan Rafferty is the new EP.

WPVI's after-break bug is here.

Nice.
