NowBergen

He did it Friday night too. It has happened a few times in the last year. They used to bring in Kathryn Tappan when Bruce and John are off (or on the way to the Olympics) but they haven't used her for awhile.

Unfortunately when in ATL a few weeks ago, the hotel tv system had CBS still set to WANF. NonCBS shows. No sampling of their news broadcasts.

I don't think any aspect of CBS News is out of reach of Bari Weiss. Expect more podcasters on Sunday morning.

But they didn’t use it. They should have

WNBC has been live continuously since early this morning.as well as on streaming platforms and their app. It just hit the 12 hour mark. CBS is the most bewildering. They had been in and out until the pregame show which started three hours before game time. I understand their NFL commitment. It seems they are now streaming but why not use WLIW 10/55 rather than at first simulcasting WCBS pregame and then cheap programming and infomercials? I am not advocating preempting the AFC championship game in the slightest. Sometimes doing a public service is more important than informercials. The decisions of Paramount Skydance, Ch. 5 is simulcasting on Ch. 9. 11 is on now too. Just bewildering.

Live at Five (Simmons and Lauer) also used the today studio for a bit before WABC’s street side studio - a former Disney Store.

Well, considering is blatantly pro and differential to trump....

Create more local news by shutting down newsrooms and consolidating newsrooms into one single voice across 2 or 3 stations? What a crock of crap. Not to mention their assertions when Nexstar and Sinclair, both conservative voices, are the ones trying to control all media. Worse, the current FCC Chair would believe this crap.

Okay, sorry. I apologize. Just watch tv and realize prime time is not real.

Just enjoy tv, it's fiction.

It is a shame that none of WLNE's previous owners invested or tried, especially as all competition was eventually sold to Sinclair and Nexstar. Now WLNE is eliminated for in all reality, replaced by a digipet of often seen repeats on other channels, with no CBS in hotels around the state. The movement to a sub channel of WJAR shows the risk of allowing Sinclair (and in the case of CBS, FOX and CW) Nexstar controlling all TV stations and how community voices are silenced and no alternatives are available on air. This is what Nexstar and Sinclair want across the nation, and the FCC seems willing to allow it. It is why the Tegna acquisition is bad, and the hopefully now dead Scripps to Sinclair deal which is hopefully dead. With a dying newspaper in town, there aren't much in options for independent news programming available in the Providence market.

That was her priority. Sadly mission accomplished.

Generic looking. Plus it seems they now focus on gimmicky names for their newscast, weather, etc. Not the KSDK I remember from 12 years ago...

It's already being reported that Bari Weiss arranged it, to no one's surprise.

Because of the gravitas of the news yesterday, they probably decided not to use the Studio 1A mimicked background that Jose Diaz -Balart uses most weeks. That is also broadcast from the Telemundo studios near Miami.

Those of us of a certain age remember two male anchors were used uniformly on all 3 major networks O&O stations in NY. Considering low viewership this time of year, viewers may not have noticed nor care. It's fill in season for most broadcasts.

If Ellison is so committed to linear broadcasting as he states, then let him buy the Discovery side of the business and he can add more little watched crap cable channels to all his own crap cable channels. Only downside, he would control CNN and turn it into another trump propaganda channel.

Did anyone actually watch? I'd be curious if there were any ratings. Giving her and her husband's perspectives airtime is not the best approach to increase ratings.

Ellison already owns a large Hollywood studio. If this is about owning/controlling CNN, he can bid on the cable side of the business. Considering the mess that is now CBS News since he took over, that probably is not a positive thing. Never mind that between both Paramount and WBD, 80% or more of the cable channels are pure crap with low viewership.

Yuck no. In many top markets that would mean controlling and operating 3 stations. They've already operated WWOR 9 into the ground in NY.

I was in the Providence market last night. The hotel uses Cox Cable (it has an odd guide, its alphabetical), and for ABC it listed whatever the can be seen elsewhere shows that were now broadcast on 6.1 but the feed was actually ABC. Talk about confusing. Again, the shows I notices are available on other digits. I'm not sure what the value is.

If I was a major shareholder of WBD, I'd want Paramount Skydance to stay as far away as possible. Nothing but chaos. No strategic planning. No succession planning. And despite the original intent that Maurice would continue with CBS2, that clearly was never the case, and not an option going forward. I hope he and John Dickerson have hefty separation agreements.

oops, sorry about that. The two are next to each other and pretty much just take up channel space on Optimum, and got them mixed up. I did know they kept doing Merit St. repeats way past when everything came spiraling down.

removed, mixed up the stations. Can't delete

RIP WLNE and ABC Providence. I'm headed up there tomorrow, it will be interesting to see how the hotel tv system reflects this. The fact there are issues seems to be the norm with Sinclair, from what I keep reading. Welcome to the new world of Sinclair and Nexstar, conservative media, controlling all the broadcast media in the market.
