Kristine Johnson announced that she was off-air due to catching COVID-19 and had been in recovery. Per FTVLIVE, She hopes to return on-air today https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2022/5/19/back-from-the-rona

TVNewser reported on May 3rd that CBS News had appointed Gabe Almanzar as Creative Director, who will be in charge of the graphics teams across the properties https://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/cbs-news-appoints-gabe-almanzar-creative-director/506668/ (paywall)

Per TVSpy, Melissa Colorado from sister station KNTV NBC Bay Area started at WNBC on April 18th https://www.adweek.com/tvspy/melissa-colorado-switches-nbc-owned-stations-now-reports-for-wnbc/240932/

Perhaps they may be trying a different presentation with the weather. How often had this happened?

Per the FTVLIVE, Liz Cho is out with COVID-19 https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2022/4/13/that-didnt-last-long

Honestly, it should be concerning to CBS management that Kemlani seems to be on the wrong side of the headlines quite frequently -- from trying to get Norah O'Donnell out of the Evening News and now this-- this can't be a good look for CBS.

Per TVSPY, Yisel Tejeda, will be debuting as the new Noon anchor for Orlando's Telemundo 31 on April 4th. She was previously the 11pm anchor at New York's WXTV https://www.adweek.com/tvspy/telemundo-orlando-adds-yisel-tejeda-as-noon-anchor/239851/

Well, there are rumors that the O&Os will have a newscast at 9am, so they could extend the AM crew to 9am and perhaps have a new team at 12

They do have a traffic reporter in Guy Staniar, but he doesn't appear on camera. Since the pandemic, WCBS hasn't had an on-camera traffic person. Natalie Duddridge was the last one before things closed down.

According to both the New York Post and FTVLive, Norah O'Donnell's Evening News tenure may end soon. FTVLive, reporting on March 10 and citing an internal source that CBS may "downplay" her role at the network https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2022/3/10/norah-is-nowhere-to-be-seen-in-ukraine And now on the 11th, the NY Post reports that her alleged attitude may not be helping the situation https://nypost.com/2022/03/11/norah-odonnells-attitude-under-fire-at-cbs-evening-news/

The reason WBTS labels itself as "NBC 10 Boston" despite actually being on channel 15 is due to the channel being on channel 10 on most cable and satellite providers. And speaking of KNTV, when they were bought by NBC it was initially branded as NBC 3 as it was on channel 3 on most providers.

NBC uses/used three locations: the current CNBC world HQ in Englewood Cliffs, CNBC's former space in Fort Lee that is where WNJU/ WNBC's NJ bureau is based and the former MSNBC studios in Secaucus that now houses MLB/NHL Networks.

Perhaps that could be due to daytime CBS Sports commitments, because I believe they air the E/I Dream Team stuff between 5-6am

It's not hard for WABC-TV talent to make appearances on the national network, as they're based in the same building (save for GMA) and some time back, Lauren Glassberg did a cameo on General Hospital (the show is set in New York) Also, remember, the staff at the network O&Os are ABC employees.

Perhaps a preview of the rumored new O&O Graphics?

In addition, it seems WCBS-TV is updating the mic flags as all of their mics didn't have them today.

We're also in the middle of a pandemic, which has affected staffing levels on top of people taking time off, such as Lori Stokes who recently returned following bereavement leave.

I think "First Alert" is exclusive to that station

KASA-TV Albuquerque, NM, recently acquired by Telemundo debuted Look S, although without animation, as the station's newscast are being produced by NBC affiliate KOB while Telemundo builds a new base and team proper.

Here's WKAQ with the new graphics https://youtu.be/mE1l7tzrOhU

According to the New York Post, possible cost-cutting measures at CBS, may have Norah O'Donnell leaving the "Evening News" https://nypost.com/2021/10/24/norah-odonnell-in-danger-of-losing-anchor-spot-at-cbs-evening-news/

Per her social media, any references to PIX11 has been scrubbed. Most likely an announcement is forthcoming

Is there any tangible data to prove the supposed "disproportionate volume and prominence of such pieces are difficult to view as anything other than propagandistic in intent"? If so, what are we comparing this from the previous year? And if someone is counting this, where do the other stations fall in this?

Actually the "CBSN" brand, both nationally and the local ones are to be rebranded as "CBS News"/ "CBS News (local), which will include a new look for the service. (The national CBSN will move into Studio 57) Perhaps this may also mean a new studio for the CBSN New York service.

So what will the national CBSN be? Or will they keep that name?
