Yep! Exactly. CBS has lost control. I honestly think it's time for National Amusements to sell. It's a mess.
After they've spent years re-integrating Viacom back into the fold, I don't see that happening.

Here's video announcing the reformat, along with a version of Sunday Morning's theme as its theme and pics of the set -- which I think looks amazing (and yes, there is a rooster sculpture; say what you will). It's all growing on me already.
So what becomes of Studio 57? That set IMO held up pretty well.

I'd argue that Sunday Morning and 60 Minutes are the last two obviously successful franchises in the CBS News Portfolio (up for debate, but CTM, FTN, and EBSEN ratings are my evidence)- Guess Susan's plan is to dilute that across the franchise? Feels like doubling down on stupid.
Susan Zirinsky is no longer in management at CBS, I believe she's back to producing. This isn't actually the first time CBS tried to emulate Sunday Morning across the week, they originally did that in the 80s after "The Morning Program" had flopped

Keep Judge Judy at 4! Then again how long can a daily syndicated show remain popular in reruns only.
If I'm not mistaken, this upcoming season or the 2022-23 season may be the last of the reruns entirely. So perhaps they could start warming up the replacement show for that time slot.

He did not and perhaps he breached his contact with WABC depending on when he bought WLNH radio.
Per FTVLive, staffers initially thought he was on vacation

That was more than what they did for Bill Evans. Did they even mention that he left?
If I recall correctly, once Evans bought WLNG Radio, he never appeared on camera at WABC again

Fox 5 has introduced a new mic flag, phasing out the old "box kite" logo. Here is the new one in action in this report from Yankee Stadium

I'd say go for it too. Not only would moving to Times Square give CTM a breath of fresh air in several ways like studio-wise and design-wise (including a bigger window for passersby to look into), it would also give the Broadcast Center space for another TV show (or at least CBS [News]) to do production. A straight-up win-win for everyone.
The old TRL studio is above ground and the last thing that area needs in the present circumstances is a crowd.

Once again, the station has lost its way!
The inclusion of network and syndication personalities is not what the Channel 4 "Sing-A-Long" is all about.
It's local!!!!!!
A number of years ago, they strayed and keyed-in an animated character that "just so happened" to be the
star of a Universal Christmas movie!
When I questioned management about commercializing this New York tradition, I was told that it had
nothing to do with promoting a Universal movie.
When hearing that, I offered to sell the exec a bridge connecting lower Manhattan to another borough.
At least WNBC is actually doing something this year as opposed to scraping it for the year

If the WCBS team needs to leave the CBS HQ for cleaning, etc, once again, what is their plan? Seems like they were caught without a plan B when KCBS had to produce and anchor the news for a few days this spring. Could the WCBS team temporarily move to the CBS Election HQ studio at Times Square? Is that studio still even operating?
CBS still has the Times Square studio where they held their election coverage from.

So does anyone actually know how bad/ what exactly is going on at WCBS? News12 Long Island/ Hudson Valley got sent home because there was a case in the newsroom. NJ/ Connecticut took over this morning. Tonight they’re back on air in the building. 24hours as opposed to weeks.
Parts of the CBS Broadcast Center still remain closed so there is limited operations still ongoing for CBSN and for WCBS-TV. There are select hours for the national CBSN feed at 10am ET with Anne Marie Green and Vladimir Duthiers and 1pm for Teena Ninan. Other times CBSN Boston handles the daytime that isn't covered by breaking news. As for WCBS-TV, they would have someone in the temporary studio and someone at home (5om had Maurice Dubois from home and 6pm with Dana Tyler and both had Kristine Johnson back at HQ)

The. issue is studio space and timing. KYW, WJZ, WBZ, WBBM etc. all broadcast news at the same time as WCBS. It made more sense to move it to KCBS. KCBS probably has more network capabilities too, so all the throws to local reporters in the fields, weather etc. were seamless. It's no different than if the CBS Evening News originated from LA. The systems probably are in place. Although many groan about the standardized look of many CBS and NBC O&O's, to the casual viewer you would not have known that the broadcast originated in LA. NBC has other options - in the past they have used CNBC's HQ in Englewood Cliffs, or Telemundo 47 in Fort Lee when 30 Rock has had an issue that prevented the use of the studio. They also have SNY as an option too as NBCSports is a part owner. CBS does not have those options as they are clustered on W57th street.
Doesn’t CBS still have the old WLNY 10/55 studio in Melville or did they sell that off too? Last I heard of it, it was converted into a bureau for CBS 2

News12 has been available to Charter and Comcast for many years. NY1 has been on Optimum for over a year now. The only competition the Dolans did not allow to carry News12 was Verizon (and of course satellite providers). Altice clearly has a different objective if our speculation is correct. Makes sense.
NY1 has been on Optimum for years now. They only recently picked up the HD feed and moved NY1 to channel 8 to make way for the Optimum Channel

So I have a question.. I’m really not up early enough most days to see the early news and when I am I’m out of the house by 5:30.. is Alex a 3rd anchor basically now? How much screen time does she get compared to when she was exclusively traffic? And how major is her role on the show now?
Alex still does traffic, but has also been a fill-in anchor when needed, primarily on the morning, noon and 5pm newscasts. She also anchors for CBSN New York as well as the national CBSN, typically hosting the 1pm ET- 5pm slot.

In the past, WNBC has also used the CNBC studio in Englewood Cliffs when there were issues in midtown impacting 30 Rock. It was a weekend, so that was not an option. It may result in WNBC wishing to upgrade a backup studio at WNJU (which ironically are in the old CNBC/America's Talking/MSNBC studios in Fort Lee). Having that facility in NJ would give them an advantage over the other stations. In reality, all the networks/stations impacted will probably be reassessing their contingency plans going forward. Would CNBC have to keep an area on weekends active in case MSNBC or WNBC has to relocate? What would CBS and ABC do? And Fox has abandoned the Secaucus studio which is nt longer an option. I noticed that WCBS was using a studio with really bad acoustics. You could hear the anchor's sighs and it was echoing. All had lighting issues. However, in the end, they all got the news and information out.
At the least the networks also own stations in the next market over, in Philadelphia. In the case of ABC, if things really went dire, they could get assistance from either their sister station in Philadelphia, WPVI 6ABC or their corporate cousins at ESPN in either their Bristol, CT studios or their South Street Seaport studios in Lower Manhattan, which was unaffected by the blackout. The blackout affected Fox News, since they were on Sixth Avenue but not WNYW, which is on East 67th Street. NBC also has studios in Wall Street for CNBC, if they couldn't make it to New Jersey. And if CBS ever needed some backup, Philadelphia sister station KYW 3 could pinch-hit. Fox could also rely on help from WTXF 29.

Possibly the first of its kind anchor pairing this morning.., Alex Stokes anchored with her mother Lori Stokes on Good Day NY.. filled in for Rosanna
IIRC over on WNBC a few years ago, Lester Holt hosted the 6pm edition of News 4 New York on Thanksgiving with his son, 4pm and 11pm anchor, Stefan Holt.

Per the NY Post, CTM seems to be clicking with viewers https://nypost.com/2019/05/29/gayle-king-already-a-ratings-a-success-for-cbs-this-morning/?_ga=2.93574365.1157626706.1559208938-amp-MSambGDh_qw5Tt1wjXe6Fg

I'm surprised they haven't done anything like that sooner. Especially since NY1 has had a Spanish language channel for quite some time now.
News 12 previously did have a Spanish-language newscast for its News 12 Interactive service. It was done for their Bronx and New Jersey stations. The experiment ended in 2013/14. Here is a 2012 News 12 The Bronx en Español segment

In addition to Jose moving to 10AM, the 10AM hour will be based out of the Telemundo Center in Miami and he will leave the anchor position at Noticias Telemundo, but will remain hosting specials
