Recently talked with some with the station and the ratings for WWJ are improving each week. Though it’s obviously in 4th place, the fact that ratings are growing each week and growing this fast is a great sign for things to come. This is what happens when you have a great product on the air. Keep up the good work, CBS News Detroit.

A call letter box? That’s a surprise!!!
-
I’ve tried to like it, but I think it’s time for CBS to do away with this format all together, and just let the CW/Indy stations do an expansion of CBS News “Name Market” at 9 or 10pm. It looks bad. especially here in the Detroit market, where our local CW station hasn’t had a live 10 pm newscast in years.

Agreed!! This is why I believe WBBM could go the same route that WWJ did, at least with the branding.
-
WOIO always seemed to be the step child of 3, 5, and 8. It’s much better now than it was in the 90s and 00s, but they always seem to be a step behind.
-
Not sure when the weekend newscasts are going to debut but wouldn’t be shocked if it’s May or June.
-
On the flip side, it’s some of the same viewers who have issues in embracing change when it’s needed I think they will just go with CBS Chicago/CBS News Chicago. WBBM doesn’t seem to be as traditional as WCCO, KDKA, or WBZ.
-
Channel references really don’t matter anymore in this digital age. This why stations like KDKA, WBZ, WCCO, KCBS, KCNC, and WWJ are all doing away with them. Don’t be shocked if WBBM soon follows suit.
-
So far, I like KDKA and WBZ’s openings the most.
-
Question is, will WBBM follow WWJ, KCNC, and KCBS (somewhat) in going with the CBS Chicago/CBS News Chicago name?? Don’t be surprised if the CBS 2 name is officially retired in name and in logo. Speaking of WCCO…
-
WBBM could be right after WCCO. Either WBBM will go the WCBS route, or they will go with the WWJ route and just call themselves CBS News Chicago/CBS Chicago, with no logo box at all.
-
KCNC already has the CBS graphics. The WBBM one posted is only a mock.
-
They are clearly coping KDKA with the local football team colors. Told you they were eyeing WCBS and KDKA. The eye 3 box is clearly WCBS and the local team colors is KDKA.
-
Looks like WCCO is next.
-
Again, they just hired another producer and meteorologist. Weekend newscasts are coming soon. Latest is June. Earliest is mid May.
-
Not quite lol! Weekend newscasts are being prepped.
-
Heard they’ve hired another meteorologist.
-
Overall the feedback seems to be positive. However, you have some crybabies from a particular site I shall keep nameless, who are not only refusing to give CBS News Detroit a fair chance, they are looking for any lame excuse to bash it. It’s like they don’t want to like it. Their complaints about it are so delusional and so ridiculous, it’s not even funny. I know there are 2,4, and 7 fanboys in the Detroit market, but my goodness. This is why I left that site, because all they do is whine and complain. With each argument, they lose credibility.

Opening to the 9 am newscast!!! IMG_4078.MOV
-
Lol boy has times changed!! 4 years later and they are about to launch a 9 am newscast.
-
I won’t be shocked if the debut of the weekend newscasts happen in the summer. I feel the holdback is hiring a new meteorologist.
-
9 am is supposed to start on Monday.

Since I used to live near Pittsburgh yeses ago, I know they are a traditional market. Again, to each it’s own!!! I grew up watching stations like KDKA, WTAE, and WPXI. Used to watch stations like WTRF and WTOV as a kid too. Again, used to live near Pittsburgh and wasn’t too far from Wheeling, WVa and Steubenville, Ohio.
-
After reading comments from Pittsburgh viewers, I beg to differ. To each it’s own.
