WJBK Fox 2 desperately needs to update its opening. They’ve had the same one for 7 years now. Like Local 4’s opening and CBS News Detroit has a much better opening, especially with the new Getting Answers slogan. WXYZ’s opening is ok.
-
The CBS News app doesn’t even have CBS News Atlanta yet.

https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2024/7/24/changes-at-the-top-in-motown Looks like Paul got demoted and is now replaced with someone with actual ND experience. Shaina Humphries is now pregnant. Her due date is in the fall according to her Instagram. Rachelle Graham is pregnant again as well.

Troy Bridges is weekend mornings. I believe Karen Carter will be on weekend mornings when it debuts. They are close to finally hiring a new sports anchor.
-
https://www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news/troy-bridges/ they just hired a new meteorologist. I presume this is for weekend mornings. Don’t know much about him so we shall see. They need to hire a new sports anchor like yesterday. They haven’t had one in two months.

Today marks the one year anniversary of the launch of CBS News Detroit.
-
It’s all good. WWJ seems to be making some changes behind the scenes and are hiring more people. One of the anchors who just left (Jeff Skversky) said the station’s numbers were lot better than what was expected. The info I got definitely backs that up. They are definitely looking for a new sports anchor.
-
Inside info. This info came from someone at CBS. As for Ronnie leaving, can’t get into that. Sorry.
-
Actually, their ratings are still climbing. They beat WXYZ in some major demographics. I would stay away from certain boards who all they do is complain and quite frankly, don’t know what they are talking about. Jeff Skversky had to go imo. He wasn’t that good if an anchor and he was becoming a cancer in the newsroom. This and moving Terrence Friday to evenings is one if the main reasons why the evening newscasts have drastically improved.
-
Anyone notice how the evening newscasts have drastically improved since Jeff Skversky left?

Showing anchors do the VO and a person in the woods, along with shots of the Detroit skyline. Copy of KCNC and KYW.

Better quality of the 11pm opening! Overall, it’s ok. IMG_4603.mov

WMYD should’ve been chosen from day one. They are a much better option for CW. Also, never do business with Kevin Adell. The man is a pariah!! -

Might not happen. FCC is watching this one closely. -

I really do think Adell is not a good businessman. -
The possibility of Jeff Skversky ending up at another Detroit station is getting higher.
-
CBS News Detroit is now available on RokuTV.
-
Rachelle Grahmn. She’s actually really good!!!
-
Jeff Skversky might resurface at another Detroit station soon. Stay tuned!! As for 62, let’s just say Jeff Skversky is NOT liked there at all. All I will say for now.
-
Ever since Terrence Friday replaced Jeff Skversky on the weekday evenings, the 5 and 6 pm newscasts have improved. Pacing is better, and the presentation is a lot more smooth. Terrence is a much better for than Jeff ever was.
-
Weekend newscasts are not too bad.
-
Not a failure. Ratings are improving. Still last place unfortunately but improving. The issue is the evenings and not the mornings. Looks like they are going to improve the Evenings. Jeff was a huge reason why the evenings overall was struggling. He was not only not connecting to Detroit viewers, he again, was not easy to get along with. Shaina, Ahmad, and Ronnie have all began to connect with Detroit viewers. Jeff never did for obvious reasons. This probably played a huge factor in his firing. Amyre has stated she doesn’t want to with behind the anchor desk. This is why her main role is behind the scenes. She’s only in the anchor desk when she has to fill in.
