So are they using KCAL for all newscasts and not KCBS? I just seen a clip on YouTube of Pat Harvey on KCAL at 6. https://youtu.be/oyyoAGYJC2k

Maybe it’s me not liking change but I feel like this wasn’t the best route to take. Hopefully they prove me wrong. But this seem like a fail.

So KCAL Morning News will be the main morning newscast? Wow that’s crazy to see for a city like LA. The CBS affiliate will not have a morning newscast dedicated solely for that channel.

The promotion on this newscast has been confusing. Will this also air on KCBS during the morning slot as well? Meaning will this be the only newscast for both KCBS and KCAL?

Daily Mail is reporting Amy and TJ Holmes are romantically involved. link: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11478421/GMA-hosts-Amy-Robach-T-J-Holmes-seen-looking-cozy-NYC-secret-romance-revealed.html

Oh my apologies!

Speaking of the morning show…here’s the two new additions added.

Rudabeh Shahbazi and Kalyna Astrinos will be joining KCAL TV in December. According to Kalyna, she’ll be anchoring the 4:00 - 4:30 A.M. news on KCAL and will serve as the Traffic anchor and entertainment contributor for the CBS News Los Angeles Morning news (4 A.M. to 11 A.M.)

I wonder why they decided to change the base to something that resembles the CTM desk?

Cheryl Burton celebrates 30 years at ABC 7 News! Congratulations to her.

I wonder way the Saturday morning show is using the old desk this morning?

Susan Koeppen and Kimberly Gill were excellent hires when they came on board back in 2011ish? So is Kim Gable and Kristen the lead female anchors in the evening now?

I was just about to say the same…this will go either very well or very bad. If it goes south, within a year they will scramble to implement the 10 pm hour back. I could see most stations moving their news an hour earlier or a syndicated show in that slot. This is going to be very interesting indeed though.

Is this actually happening or there’s still speculation?

WTSP is boarded up and they have moved to another station according to Entertainment reporter Jabari Thomas Instagram stories.

Evrod Cassimy is leaving WDIV after 9 years and is heading to WMAQ in Chicago later this year. https://www.clickondetroit.com/station/2022/09/22/morning-anchor-evrod-cassimy-leaving-wdiv-after-9-years/

Well Evrod Cassimy maybe his replacement. He will be joining WMAQ later in the year as an anchor. https://www.clickondetroit.com/station/2022/09/22/morning-anchor-evrod-cassimy-leaving-wdiv-after-9-years/

So glad they used this theme which felt more complete than the Scott Pelley years theme.

I love the news desk! I'm glad they chose not to do the trendy standing anchor desk! Something about them make me so uncomfortable/unease

Rob Marciano is going through a divorce. That’s probably the reason he’s been M.I.A on GMA weekend. https://people.com/tv/gma-meteorologist-rob-marciano-wife-eryn-files-for-divorce/?did=805335-20220708&utm_campaign=people-news_newsletter&utm_source=people.com&utm_medium=email&utm_content=070822&cid=805335&mid=91628379279

Shiba Russell signed off for the last time at WXIA 11 Alive. I have a feeling she will be a network correspondent in the DC area or an anchor in Philly. Sad to see her go. Atlanta viewers seemed to have taken a liking to Ms Russell. Best of luck to her!

WOW...I did not know he said that. Oh well!

Mark is going out kind of sad. At this point, move on. Even though "ditsy" might not seem enough to be fired over however, we do not know the working relationships he had at WLS with his colleagues. Some of our favorite On-Air Talent can be difficult behind the scenes. Also I don't feel as station management protected Cheryl enough. It's been what... 2 years? I always felt stationed management seized on the opportunity to skim off some budget by getting rid of Mark. Also I wonder from a competitor standpoint, is Mark hirable? Would WMAQ, WGN, WFLD or WBBM would want to take a chance on him with these antics? (In this day and age, it's probable)

I added his name.
