I knew WBZ would follow the same route as KDKA and to a lesser extent, KPIX. Those are all legacy stations. Those traditionalists in the Boston, Pittsburgh, and Bay Area markets would all freak out if they completely went with CBS Boston/Pittsburgh/Bay Area. KPIX is used for general programming and CBS BA for newscasts. Question is, which route will KYW go? I feel it’s going to go with the CBS Philadelphia route but I could be wrong.

This call letter box is what I like. Makes sense that WBZ is going the same route as KDKA and KPIX. I would’ve loved it if WWJ used the call letters box, but it makes sense that they didn’t. There would be too much confusion between WWJ-TV and WWJ News radio 950.

The station website shows the 9 am newscast as debuting on Monday, April 3rd. The Saturday 6 pm listing for this past Saturday was a mistake, as it was never mentioned by the station.
-
I believe WWJ-TV had the option of using the entire CBS opening for its newscasts. I know they have it available, as was shown in the demos. However, the station opted to go with the shorter version. Don’t agree with it at all, as they need to show images of Detroit. I wouldn’t be surprised if that changes in a few months. As for who’s next to upgrade, I say it’s either between KYW, WJZ, and WBZ.

As for whiz next to join the collective: we see you KYW in Philadelphia. We see you watching your sister stations in Pittsburgh and NYC. Come join the CBS collective lol. Resistance is futile!!!
-
Now that KDKA has joined the CBS collective, we are waiting for WJZ, KYW, WBZ, WBBM, and WCBS. Come to the collective guys. Resistance is futile lol.

Looks like CBS News Detroit at 9am debuts next Monday, March 27th. https://www.ontvtonight.com/guide/

Can you post the video here please? Thank you!!!

Which video?!?

I think KDKA is trying to keep the KDKA News branding as long as they can. But, even thru know they are going to lose this fight, just like the early 2000s when they had to use the O&O style logo.
-
They are still hiring for weekends. That’s why. 11pm will be in April, more than likely. From what I’ve been told, they wanted to slow down on adding new newscasts to give Detroiters a chance to know the new anchors and reporters. Also heard the ratings so far, are a lot better than expected.

Looks like weekend newscasts debuts on 3/25 at 6pm. https://www.tvpassport.com/tv-listings/stations/cbs-wwj-detroit-mi/128/2023-03-25

Nice!!! I think KDKA might be next. By early next month the latest. They might be trying to hold onto that KDKA-TV News name but I think I they know they’ve already lost that battle.

I like WWJ’s news opening. They aren’t flashy and it’s reflective on the serious tone CBS is going for. I think KCAL/KCBS is way too flashy. KPIX is too. I think WCBS is getting the new graphics very soon.
-
Locally, Sandra Ali made her debut today. Didn’t air until 6 am and second hour aired at 7 on the app. Execution was rough the first hour but was way better in the second. Morning newscasts are fairly new so that’s to be expected. Midday and evenings flow way better.
-
I also think KDKA, just like the silly little Pittsburgh Steelers fans, are stuck in the past. They know they can’t resist the inevitable lol. They will soon be called CBS News Pittsburgh. Same with you KYW. Silly little traditionalists lol.
-
Resistance is futile! Come on KDKA, come on WJZ, come on KYW, WBBM, and WCBS. Lol
-
Would not be surprised if CBS stopped it’s affiliation with all the CW stations, and those respective stations all became independent. Might be better if stations like WKBD all returned to independent status.
-
Expansion of morning newscasts are official. Drew Barrymore moves to WKBD overnights at 3 am beginning next Monday.

Again, typo and autocorrect!!
-
KCNC is now known as CBS Colorado, joining KCBS/KCAL, KPIX, and WWJ as the stations to completely do away with their channel reference. Who’s next? Lol IMG_3994.MOV
-
Here is how to fix the KDKA issue: Just call It CBS Pittsburgh but keep the KDKA call letter box. This is probably why WWJ-TV doesn’t use the call letter box but just calls it CBS Detroit, in name and in logo. They branded the station WWJ-TV from 2008-2012 but many confused it with WWJ AM 950. This is probably one of the reasons why CBS eventually changed the name to ‘CBS 62.’
