    He was fired the day he came back.

    Heard Jeff was difficult to deal with. He and Shaina didn’t seem to mesh well on the air and it showed. Unsure of the details but I think the station made the right move.

    Yep! As for the newscasts, evenings needs help but mornings are great. Jeff was ok but nothing special. I feel Terrence is better suited for evenings.

    I think it’s inevitable that Y&R fully goes to Paramount and the CBS O&Os and affiliates expand their noon newscasts to a full hour.

    Weekend newscast starts on October 7th. It looks like they are only going with the 11 pm newscast for now.

    It’s September 1st and my tv provider which is HuluTV, still offers the now independent station WKBD, instead of the new CW affiliate, WADL. Not sure if it’s because the switch just happened, but if WADL still isn’t offered on HuluTV when the provider is supposed to offer the CW affiliate in addition to the Fox, CBS, ABC, and NBC affiliate, then I’m going to know that WADL’s bad signal just might be the issue. Hopefully that’s solved very soon.

    The last remnant of the Dunn era??

    I actually like this one.

    They seem to be more focused on getting the WWJ weekend newscasts up and running. That seems to be the immediate focus right now.

    She’s on at 3 am on WKBD the last I checked. edited: it was pulled off the 3 am timeslot. My mistake!!!

    Drew Barrymore is moving to sister station WKBD, Detroit 50. ET has moved to Fox O&O and cross town rival WJBK, Fox 2. As for the 7pm hour, I highly suspect that the time slot will eventually be for the 7pm newscast.

    https://www.tvpassport.com/tv-listings/stations/cbs-wwj-detroit-mi/128/2023-09-11 Starting September 11th, CBS News Detroit at 9 am moves to a full hour and a rerun of CBS News Detroit at 11 pm replaces Entertainment Tonight at 1:37 am. Looks like Family Feud will be the only syndicated program left on WWJ.

    Interesting!!! It may also be they did not want to go through all the hassle and steps of preempting network programming and it was easier to just put it on 50. Also, 50 is still the CW and not officially an independent station yet. So the situation with WWJ/WKBD would naturally be different than that of its cross country sister stations. It is what it is.
  14. CircleWXYZ
    it was corporate who made thar decision, not the ND or the GM. They didn’t want CBS programming preempted so it went to 50. Given 50 is no longer the CW and is now independent, it makes sense. Remember, 62 is a network O&O so it makes sense. The others you mentioned are not network O&O stations. You have to go through a lot of steps to get network programming preempted when you are an O&O. 50 who is also CBS (well owned by CBS) did a great job.

    I think the branding is due to change from My38 to CW38 on September 1st.
  16. CircleWXYZ
    Not sure about WKBD’s but WWJ’s has been gradually increasing.
  17. CircleWXYZ
    Have my sources. Again, it was just weird. If it was up to the ND, it would’ve been on both stations. It was just on the soon to be independent station, WKBD.
  18. CircleWXYZ
    As for 62’s lack of coverage on last night’s storms, that was a corporate decision that came from NY. WWJ is a CBS O&O. This is why storm coverage was on WKBD. The ND at both stations is doing a great job. Just dealing with short sided folks at corporate that’s all.
  19. CircleWXYZ
    I really do think WKBD is also getting an 8 pm newscast as well.
  20. CircleWXYZ
    Thoughts on the new logo: It’s ok. Of course it’s corporate but CBS maintained WKBD’s identity all in the while, ushering in a brand new era with the station.
  21. CircleWXYZ
    Here’s the new WKBD logo!!
  22. CircleWXYZ
    Here my friends, is the new WKBD logo. Welcome to Detroit 50!!!
  23. CircleWXYZ
    CBS News Detroit at 7 am airs on WKBD, beginning September 4th.
  24. CircleWXYZ
    WKBD is expected to air live newscasts beginning in September.
  25. CircleWXYZ
    Looks like it’s all been confirmed that the CW is going to Ch 38 in Detroit. An official announcement should be made very soon. As for WKBD, I think they are indeed addling a 8 pm newscast as well. We should find out soon.
