It's amazing to me that they wouldn't have a backup plan for something like this

 

The only one that actually looked like they did any action instead of running a crawl was KDKA-TV. I also heard they may air the West Coast CBSEN feed on sister station WPCW-TV at 11 PM.

From Joe Flint of the Wall Street Journal:  CBS News experienced technical difficulties tonight that prevented the CBS Evening News from airing at 6:30 pm, ET on the CBS Television Network. The issue is being resolved and the Mountain and West Coast versions of the CBS Evening News will air during the regular time slots.

Rumor is there will be a west coast feed. I wonder if D.C. is back up or someone else is going to front it? At any rate, that's the entire East Coast feed blown out. 

I'm curious if New York or LA could be used for the west coast feed if DC continues to have issues?

KDKA-TV, Which airs the CBSEN at 7 PM also had this issue but quickly switched back to KDKA-TV News with the weekend open. Many local promos in place of the commercials. I will try to pull in KCBS or KCNC to see if it airs on the west coast.

Probably not because WCAU already has Steve Kramer for their voice-over work.

Here is a WPXI Promo with Lee VO they have used since 2017. This will be interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_gJ4iQcoZA

I wonder if there will be a compromise. WPXI uses Brian Lee in a small capacity but I would love to hear Lee do KDKA-TV promos.

Came across this on Youtube and it's... interesting, to say the VERY least. Anybody have any clue as to what this could be about? I'm guessing COVID coverage, possibly on the CBSNs but this would be an absolute trip to see on-air. Has this been used at any time already?

 

 

KDKA-TV can't use the Brian Lee Voiceover because WPXI already uses Lee for their promos. Can we hear a version from Steve Kramer?

I wonder who does it next weekend? If I got to choose, I'd give it to WOIO or WBTV, followed by WTVF, so other owners get a shot too.

 

Of the top 30 markets: 14 are O&O's and 4 are owned by Tegna, 3 by Meredith, 3 by Nexstar, 2 by Gray, 1 by Cox , 1 by Scripps, 1 by Sinclair and 1 by Graham.

I still think KDKA-TV deserves to be in the conversation to do a CBS Weekend News as well. 

Any Word which local station is doing the CBS Weekend News this weekend? Still hoping for KDKA-TV.

I called the CBS Washington bureau this afternoon and suggested several Affiliates to do CBS Weekend News Broadcasts next. My suggestions were KDKA-TV, WTKR, WJZ, WJAX, WTAJ, and WTTV.

I'd like that too, but I doubt it will be him anchoring. If I had to guess, it would be either Ken Rice, Susan Koeppen or both. 

I could see Ken Rice or Susan Koeppen for sure. Stacy has rarely been on air in the last month. It has been mostly Kristine Sorenson, Ken Rice, or Susan Koeppen. Remember, Susan was on The Early Show in 2004 and 2005. 

I'm hoping KDKA-TV gets a chance to anchor the CBS Evening News.

I'm wondering when WTKR or KDKA will get the chance to anchor the CBS Weekend news.

As long as I can remember, going back at least 30 years, the CBS evening news in the Burlington, VT / Plattsburgh, NY market has been airing at 7 PM every weeknights.    NBC and ABC are both on at 6H30 PM.         

It would be interesting to see if it makes a difference in the ratings, compared to other markets.

Pittsburgh (CBS O&O KDKA-TV) Does the same thing and air the CBS Evening News at 7 PM. Nearby Markets such as WTAJ, WTRF, and WKBN all air the CBS EN at 6:30 PM. 

 

Here is KDKA using the new CBS O&O Weather graphics. I think they look a lot like the Weather Graphics Sinclair has.

Philadelphia is the #4 market. Unless you meant either she went up 8 markets or the list updated and I just didn't know.

I fixed it. I believe i got D.C. (who actually is the 8th market and Philly confused at first.

This morning at 5, KYW introduced Tiffany Savona as the newest Eyewitness Weather meteorologist.

 

So happy she has gone up to the #4 market in the country. I got a chance to meet her in 2010 when she worked in Norfolk Virginia for WAVY-TV. She will do fine at KYW.

The one under KIRO is likely KMOV but who knows. they did a fantastic job representing the affiliates.

Really @Darius22? They used a station twice (WIVB  Top portion of the eye), forgot many major affiliates and O&Os, They did a terrible job on this graphic. This was clearly rushed. 

Here is a piece WTAE in Pittsburgh did for their 60th Anniversary this week along with an Editorial from original WTAE GM John Conomikes

Looking further, it appears that Dr. Phil is indeed moving to 3pm with Family Feud moving off CBS3.

 

I wonder if other CBS O&Os will follow suit.

Already has. KDKA did this many years ago. Philly is Finally catching up to Pittsburgh .

Here it is the NEW CBS Evening News with Jeff Glor Opening and closing.

Looks like David Rhodes is Regretting removing Scott Pelley from the Evening News chair. More of a clear sign it could be Anderson Cooper taking over. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ne...nsition-didnt-go-smoothly-hurt-morale-1017868
