    They keep saying soon. The station seems to be preparing the anchors who were hired to do the weekends by filling in for the regulars whenever they are off. I’m guessing either late this month or at the same time WKBD is set to go independent, which is on September 1st.

    KDKA is still using the old mics. It’s time for them to upgrade.

    Looks like WKBD is about to return to the News scene, and their newscasts will be produced by WWJ. Question is, will their newscasts be called CBS News Detroit or will it be called WKBD News, powered or streaming on CBS News Detroit??

    I love KDKA’s newscasts, but it’s time for them to change their mics. They are still showing the old logo. Same with KPIX.

    This explains the job postings for Detroit.

    Looks like WWJ is adding the logo box. Thought all channel references are gone lol. IMG_4229.mov

    No official word on Detroit, but it’s expected that the CW affiliation will go to WADL.

    “FTVLive told you that Scripps was looking to swing the ax, and it appears they have pulled the Pink-slip Express into the WEWS (Cleveland) parking lot. A source tells FTVLive, “At least 8 of the 12 employees in the station’s Operations Department will be or have been laid off.” We hear that some of those are longtime employees at the station. “I need to point out that management positions in the newsroom — so far — remain unaffected, despite the absurd number of managers involved in the day-to-day operations at News 5,” an insider tells FTVLive. “We have the news director, assistant news director, digital director, digital EP, dayside EP, special projects EP as well as another manager whose role is so ambiguous that no one has any earthly idea what she does day to day,” the source adds. More Scripps stations are expected to see layoffs. Stay tuned…” This is company wide for Scripps!!

    Overall, the newscasts are improving each and every week.

    This is about the debut of the weekend newscasts. I was told this from someone who works at the station. It’s this summer. They already have the anchors for the weekends. Summer was their target date a month and a half ago. Have no idea about the ratings. Last I’ve heard, ratings were improving each week. Again, I heard this a month and a half ago.

    They just finished hiring all the spots for the weekend newscasts. They are supposed to debut this summer. Heard this from a couple of people who are involved with the station.

    There’s a good reason why WCBS, WBBM, and KCBS are all in last place in their respective markers. All are a complete and utter clown show. On the other hand, we can clearly see why all the former Westinghouse stations like KYW, KPIX, KDKA, WBZ, and WJZ are all the better performing CBS O&Os based on their handing of the new CBS I&O graphics rollouts.

    Also, would WWJ dare go to the call letter box, following KDKA, WBZ, etc? I didn’t think so a month ago but now, I don’t know.
  15. CircleWXYZ
    Just heard about this. Wow!!!

    Don’t know about you but I think WKBD going independent is going to benefit the station. Not only can CBS News Detroit expand which will only mean more advertising revenue for the station, WKBD can go back to its roots, which is to do OTA live sports again. I for one am excited. Looks like CBS is putting a lot of money into WWJ which only helps its sister station.

    I still feel WMYD will pick up CW programming.
  18. CircleWXYZ
    If they cancel Superman and Lois, which happens to be a great show, than I’m done with the CW.
  19. CircleWXYZ
    I also think they dumped MNTV because they are a bad network. I can see them affiliating with the CW. As for sports, Ch 20 can work around the CW schedule as they don’t offer nearly as much network programming.
  20. CircleWXYZ
    The CW is losing good stations.
  21. CircleWXYZ
    In Detroit, I really do think the CW will end up on Channel 20. I doubt it goes to 38. I also think we are going to see sports OTA again on WKBD 50. Furthermore, I do think we are going to see live newscasts again on Ch 50.
  22. CircleWXYZ
    All I’m going to say is the newsroom format WWJ uses is looking better and better. Stations like KCBS and WBBM are just a hot mess. My goodness!!!
  23. CircleWXYZ
    Hate it! Hate it! Nothing authentic about what WBBM did at all. KDKA, KYW, WCCO, and WWJ are all authentic! WBBM is just a mess.
  24. CircleWXYZ
    It’s all good. Can’t say what the exact numbers are, but again, I’m going by what I was told from someone who actually works there and is a well known on the air personality. The fact that they expanded so quickly is what’s most surprising, especially to the local competitors. This isn’t even all that I’ve heard but from the looks of it, CBS is heavily invested in Detroit news. Agreed!!!

    I suggest you contact the powers that be. Just relaying information.
