    It's so simple that it's ridiculous. You have the talent to get out of the ratings basement. It's just little things they can change to make the product better. And I really think they're pushing Sara Shookman out. I thought she did the 11pm too, but maybe Laura Caso does it now?

    I don't have a problem with them moving Jay and Betsy up an hour to 4pm. They're a really good team, and they'd be foolish to break them up. Still think the names of the newscasts are stupid. 3News at 4 & 5 are completely axceptable. But again, this is WKYC we're talking about lol.

    Ohh okay. That makes more sense.

    Wow. I can understand the two hours of New Day to fill the time because adding another hour of morning news would be overkill, IMO. But infomercials and two hours of Judge Judy? That's a bit much. I mean I know there's not many options in terms of syndicated programming, and I get that, but infomercials? Really?

    Sad but true.

    Because this is WKYC we're talking about lol. Did you really expect anything else? Haha

    That's really one of the only ways they are lol. They do well in the ratings, but other than that, there isn't all that much that's special about them.

    Yeah I agree. I'm impressed. I really like this! I thought they'd go the CBS Mornings route in terms of the L3s, but happy to be proven wrong on that.

    Wow. WTAE is airing it at 1:06am, presumably replacing The Real. That's kind of a surprise.

    The deals were officially announced this morning. https://bigten.org/news/2022/8/18/general-big-ten-conference-announces-groundbreaking-media-rights-agreements-providing-fans-unprecedented-access-and-student-athletes-greater-exposure-than-any-other-collegiate-sports-conference-in-history.aspx

    So I'm not sure if this goes in this thread or not (feel free to move if not), but WFMJ's assistant news director just tweeted this...
  12. tjt24
    Well Kelly Clarkson will have a new home in Pittsburgh. She'll be on WTAE at 3pm when the new season starts September 12th, replacing Ellen. Seen a promo for it during their 5pm news tonight.

    While that is a good idea, and I'm all for it, it wouldn't be a clean deal should that ever happen, and I highly doubt it would.

    It's not WBZ she's going to. It's WJZ in Baltimore. And @24994J, here is a link for you: https://www.viacomcbspressexpress.com/cbs-news-and-stations/releases/view?id=59448

    Ok a couple things with this. 1. Why is Denise anchoring this newscast? Doesn't she just do the 6pm? And 2. KDKA already does Pittsburgh Today Live at 9am (which is technically a lifestyle show), so I'm not sure why they'd start a 9am newscast when they already have a locally produced show that seems to be successful in that slot.

    Out & About

    Holy hell. Took them long enough. They're about 25 years late, but it's about time lol.
  17. tjt24
    This doesn't surprise me and I actually seen this coming because I've been getting notifications from the KDKA app saying "FIRST ALERT WEATHER" on them. I even got one this morning when the NWS issued the winter storm watch. The execution and timing of it was perfect as we do have a modest winter storm coming, so I'll give them props for that. And the graphics do look really good. Although I do wish they used the lighter blue version of the logo that their sister station in San Francisco are using, but nevertheless, it does look good.
  18. tjt24
    They don't lol. The whole comic book, cartoon character look is really bad. The only graphics pacakge that actually looks somewhat decent is the college basketball package, even though the scoreboard is way too big.
  19. tjt24
    They actually debuted it during their winter storm coverage the night before, but it is a nice addition to the set. It's right next to the weather center where a touchscreen monitor once was.
  20. tjt24
    Looks like the CBSNs will be renamed on Monday based on that first screenshot. Is that confirmed or would that be just speculation?
  21. tjt24
    I have the same feeling about KDKA. I wouldn't be surprised if they do adopt this brand honestly, but I'm not sure how it would look or sound. They've been branded as either KDKA Weather or KDKA Local Weather since at least 05 or 06, and while the branding is simple, I've always felt like they needed a stronger branding for weather. And I don't know if First Alert Weather is the right brand for KD. I thought the same thing about the Pittsburgh stations, but WTAE took the bait sometime last year. I'm not sure when exactly.
  22. tjt24
    It seems like they are because KDKA has also added another hour of Saturday morning news at 10am.
  23. tjt24
    I agree that Access Hollywood was never the best fit for her. I feel like she's more of a hard news journalist, but NBC was trying to make her do more entertaintment and celebrity news instead of hard news like she was doing on TODAY as the newsreader.
  24. tjt24
    I get what you're saying. I do. And I'm all for trying something new and hoping it sticks. But I'll echo what @Adam MadMansaid. If this is something like what The Daily Show is, then it's just going to be a cheap gimmick. The only difference is that this show is airing on a local television station, not a show on a comedy network, where it would belong.
  25. tjt24
    Wow. Just when we thought WKYC couldn't get any worse. Ridiculous.
