WBZ/Boston (and other CBS O&Os?) to Rebrand Newscasts?
Georgie56 replied to bostonmediaguy's topic in General TV
The original source was Scott Jones’ Patreon, so I’m going off that until I see official confirmation or proven otherwise. -
CBS is reportedly sunsetting News Now at the end of next month. The weekend editions of the show have been cancelled, which gives credence to this.

Looks like SAG-AFTRA is about to join the picket line.

The new GM is Shiela Oliver, from KCPQ-KJZO.

WCSC replacing Hot Bench with new local show Palmetto Life at 9am in September.

They’ll be called CBS News Detroit. WKBD is not KCAL. Also, don’t be surprised if WKBD simulcasts the 7-9am streaming block of their morning newscast in the fall.

WGN is launching a new local show, Spotlight Chicago, at 3pm in September.

Eight CBS Stations to Ditch CW and Go Independent This Fall
Georgie56 replied to AKA's topic in General TV
FTVLive is reporting that the new and existing independent stations (minus Tampa and Seattle) will be going news-heavy (similar to KCAL) this fall. He also reports that CBS is ending the hybrid local-national NOW newscast in August. (h/t @24994J) -
Former KDFW meteorologist Ron Jackson has passed away at 65.

Divins is now at Spectrum News 1 Texas.

You have to wonder about the future of the late night talkers, especially with election season around the corner.

NBC Sports Washington is rebranding to Monumental Sports Network. Rachel Nichols will be part of the talent lineup.

NBC debuted some refreshed SR L3s this morning. The bug is now more closely aligned to MSNBC.

That sounds tailor-made for the CBS independent stations. Won't be surprised if KTXA and WSBK air it at 9am, considering both air Forensic Justice and Scene of the Crime at 8am.

Blowing the dust off this thread… WFLD/WPWR GM Dennis Welsh is retiring.
