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.’

Relax, it was a typo. KDKA did fight to keep the Westinghouse era 2. They fought for several years but eventually lost that battle in 2003. This was when they officially used the CBS 2 logo, yet still branding itself as KDKA/TV
-
I think stations like KDKA and WJZ will try to fight being rebranded as CBS Pittsburgh/CBS Baltimore but both will lose that battle. If KDKA was unable to keep the Westinghouse era ‘2’, than you know they will be called CBS Pittsburgh/CBS News Pittsburgh.

Not only is WWJ adding specials on the app, their morning newscasts expands to 5 am beginning next Monday. IMG_3984.MOV

I strongly believe that KDKA newscasts will indeed be rebranded as CBS News Pittsburgh.
-
Mornings expands to 5 am beginning March 6th. https://fb.watch/iTlPce4yly/?mibextid=tejx2t

CBS News Detroit at 6am
-
Weekend newscasts might come this weekend or next week.
-
So far we have CBS Los Angeles KPIX/CBS Bay Area CBS Detroit CBS Texas i wonder what’s next.
-
Similar to how WLNS from Lansing MI works with CBS O&O WWJ for coverage coming out of the state capital. CBS News Detroit does cover Lansing.
-
Talked to one of the main anchors yesterday and he said 6 am would start today. However, there wouldn’t be a full morning newscast for a few weeks. More than likely, weekends will debut first, then the 4:30 am and 5 am newscasts.

Hmmmmmmm
-
Probably in the next one or two weeks.

Question is, will KYW get rid of its channel reference?? I think KDKA is right after KYW.
-
Not that. Been that way for years. Otter questionable decisions, especially with their scheduling during sweeps among others.
-
Opening is way too generic imo, they need to show shots of Metro Detroit. Also, Kris Laudien is new to the station. He came from KARE tv.
-
Oh well. Looks like KDKA will indeed completely get rid of its channel reference. My only complaint about WWJ is its opening, I wish they would show more Detroit landmarks in the News opening. I love the graphics but the opening is way too generic. Also. talked sigh someone from WWJ and it looks like the morning newscasts will debut within a couple weeks.
-
So far the CBS stations to get rid of its channel reference: KCBS KPIX WWJ KDKA (coming soon) Expected: WJZ KYW (possible) Won’t: WCBS WBBM WBZ It looks like KDKA doesn’t want to totally get rid of its channel reference, if that anchor desk is any indicator.
-
Looks like WBZ isn’t getting rid of its channel reference. Just saw a promo for CBS News Boston and the CBS 4 WBZ logo was in a box, next ti the CBS News Boston logo.
-
Just speculation, based on some questionable decisions WDIV has made, in relation to NBC.
-
Agreed! which CBS station will be the next to receive the graphics???
-
I remember when WOIO started it’s news operation in early 1995. They only had a 6 and 11 pm newscast. For years, WOIO not only struggled, it was always treated as a step child to WKYC, WEWS, and WJW. Took years for it to expand but they did. So far, WWJ is off to a much better start than WOIO did in 1995.
-
What is going on with WDIV? They are losing people right and left, and bringing back people who already left. Are they preparing to go Indy?
-
Don’t be shocked if morning newscasts come by the 20th or 27th of February. apparently they want the intended time slots to be filled by early March. I believe the anchors for mornings are already hired.
