I feel like Bill never reached that icon status of other news men like Bill Butel, Roger Grimsby, Jim Jensen, and Chuck Scarborough. I think part of it was because by the time Bill took the helm at WABC their anchors were treated an ensemble with no one team standing out above the rest. Another long time anchor I'd say that about is WNBC's David Ushery.

I suppose this is a question for the Ellisons--- but what financial sense does it make for Skydance to destroy its own entity? Steve Kroft speaking out on PBS Newshour.

if I can pay the old graphics a compliment, I like that they weren't flat. The early HD era lower thirds were not great, however. The new graphics look pretty good, but I wish the lower thirds weren't 2-D. Hopefully this trend eases up by the 2030s. Sidenote, I like that the main anchor desk shot is not in front of a video wall, that really sets it apart from most other local new sets in the country

It's painful to see arguably the best but most struggling network news organization in this country reduced to a heaping pile of of . What is the goal here? I know the rightward turn is to appease the Trump administration, but doesn't it affect their bottom line if their news department loses ratings??? Are are any conservatives actually turning CBS News----are they aware of the editorial change? It doesn't make sense to destroy your base viewership to chase an audience you probably won't get. It's one thing to mess with the long time failure CBS Evening News but it's another to play with their bread and butter---60 Minutes, and (not yet) Sunday Morning.

Not sure if this is posted already with some changes in Albany, NY. WTEN is launching 10 AM lifestyle show "Upstate Living", co-hosted by former WRGB anchor Ann McCloy. The show will replace the timeslot vacated by Sherri Shepherd. Ann is the second ex CBS 6 talent NEWS 10 ABC has poached next to meteorologist Alyssa Caroprese. WRGB got their lick back by hiring one of WTEN's reporters to be their weekend anchor. WNYT is also launching "Capital Region Lifestyle" at 11AM hosted by their morning news anchors. Down in Jacksonville...WJAX will now simulcast WFOX's 4:30 AM half hour of Action News Jax This Morning, pushing "CBS News Mornings" back to 4AM. Previously WFOX carried the entire morning show from 4:30 to 9 AM, with WJAX only simulcasting 5 to 7 AM before CBS Mornings. The only odd scheduling they have left is airing Action News Jax at 4 PM on Fox 30 only, but not on CBS 47. Uniquely WFOX and WJXT only air a half hour rather than full hour newscast at 4p.

WESH 2 celebrates their anniversary and giving a detailed look back at their logo changes.

15 years!!! I remember watching the end of Oprah live. WABC's stellar afternoon lineup really took a hit with the cancellations of All My Children, One Life to Live, and Oprah's ending. A testament to the stability of WABC that the same anchor team is still in place at 4:00.

If so great! Michael and Darlene are (if I'm correct) are the longest running AM anchor pairing in the market currently. Grew up watching them!

The grand dames of Channel 4 (WNBC 1990). Sue Simmons, Pat Harper, Carol Jenkins all in one video, followed by a cool montage of New York City.

My favorite tv logo as well. Never realized each color had a meaning. Wow! Thank you for sharing.

In newsrooms I've heard anchors complain about that. A three hour newscast is definitely ideal with two anchors for voice resting and bathroom breaks.

Don't know if anyone posted it here yet but evening anchor John Brown will be returning to Good Day Orlando to fill Ryan Elijah's spot. No word yet on who John's evening successor will be. It's not often you see someone enthusiastic to go from evening hours (a terrific sleep schedule) to early AM. https://www.fox35orlando.com/video/fmc-r7om0g75wu2jgi42 John is a natural fit. It also appears evening anchor Marlisa Goldsmith is no longer doing the late news at 11 PM. I liked the broadcast because they tried to switch up the format from a standard 11 PM show, plus the set's dim lighting matched the late night vibe.

Speak of the devil, sad but human to see that age is beginning to take its toll on Dan. He spoke on CBS Sunday morning regarding the end of CBS News radio. He's still sharp. Compared to two years ago

To me, Rather was fine, flaws and all--- Somebody had to be in third place , and that was him. Dan Rather is no Cronkite but his tenure was the most stable era of the evening news since ole uncle Walter's departure. The broadcast reamins no better without Rather.
