NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Don Dahler is filling in for Maurice DuBois tonight at 5:00. He used to be the 6:00 co-anchor before moving to CBS News a few years ago to report. Interesting that they have him back to fill in. Was just going to say this. Nice to see him back on WCBS, even if it's just to fill in and help out.

JoseRM303 171 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 This can't be right: http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/wcbs-hires-las-vegas-anchor/173631 Says she's going to anchor weekend nights yet is Diane Macedo's replacement? So is Cindy being moved off nights? Or is the new girl joining Cindy on nights and weekend mornings remain solo?

So is Cindy being moved off nights? Or is the new girl joining Cindy on nights and weekend mornings remain solo? I think WCBS needs to hire male anchors! They've got enough females already. Also, I looked FTVLive's article about this as they reported it a month ago, but their report didn't state what newscast she was anchoring.

Totally agree why not hire 2 male anchors one for weekend mornings with Andrea the other for weekend nights with Cindy. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/18/#findComment-154259 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they promoted within.. Ive said it once before Brian Conybeare had a strong following at News12.. He'd work well with Andrea or Cindy so he could def be a potential candidate but I guess we'll see what actually happens Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/18/#findComment-154272 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc485 87 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Wonder if Cindy is moving to mornings with Andrea? You are right. Cindy posted on her Facebook page last night that she's leaving weekend evenings for weekend mornings (presumably she'll be re-teamed with Andrea Grymes, with whom she anchored weekend mornings before Diane Macedo replaced Cindy in March 2014). I guess this also confirms that Jessica Moore will be anchoring weekend evenings. Personally, I have mixed feelings about this move. While I prefer Cindy in the morning, this seems like a demotion to me, and she had great chemistry with Elise Finch and Steve Overmyer. On the other hand, the weekend morning newscast is immediately strengthened with Cindy's return. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1195648083800608 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/18/#findComment-154529 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure she anchored weekday mornings in the late 90s. She's also anchored the noon and 5pm news at WCBS so it's nothing new, I guess she really doesn't mind. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/18/#findComment-154531 Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's also anchored the noon and 5pm news at WCBS so it's nothing new, I guess she really doesn't mind. WCBS didn't know what to do with Cindy. She's an excellent anchor that just never got her proper props. At this stage in her career she might as well stay. I don't think any other stations see a need for her their but maybe this is best for her. I heard she had some health issues, this might be her choice.

nynewslover 277 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 They should take this opportunity to make weekend evenings a 2-anchor team. Cindy was good as a single anchor but not too many are. Hopefully they consider it 6 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/18/#findComment-154545 Share on other sites More sharing options...

She or Dana have done nothing to improve the ratings and have been lucky they haven't been canned over the years. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/18/#findComment-154546 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd work well with Andrea or Cindy so he could def be a potential candidate but I guess we'll see what actually happens Brian - is that you? There are PLENTY of other people at CBS more qualified than Conybeare. He was on this past weekend with Grymes and it was pretty unbeareable (misspelling and pun intended) 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/18/#findComment-154586 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in good health and it would be close to unbearable for me to wake up at 2 am on a regular basis. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/18/#findComment-154613 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 277 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 She has a daughter, I'm sure working evenings took a toll on them (especially weekends) yeah getting up at 2 is hard but now she'll have the whole day with her. Cindy seems very family oriented and this may have been her decision for that reasin 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/18/#findComment-154618 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey 861 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I think Cindy stated on Facebook recently that she prefers working evenings to mornings. It's easier to have a more normal sleep/life schedule that way. But she always just goes with the flow and smiles while doing whatever is asked of her. There was a brief time years ago (around 2007) when it seemed like they'd let anyone other than Cindy anchor. Seemed like she was on her way out. But then they put her on weekends and she's back to filling in on weekday mornings. You can tell from both on-air and social media comments that the other anchors love having her there. 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/18/#findComment-154696 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy's always come off as being nice. I'm sure she is pleasant to work with and an all around good person. On the other hand Dana seems to be the complete opposite.

But in the past when he anchored CBS Evening News they would have someone fill in at 5.. Then he'd be back for the 11. Wouldn't be shocked if he went over to network by years end.

TellyGenic 33 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Kristine is sitting in on The Talk on Monday - and it's not a rerun, so I guess she won't be anchoring Monday afternoon.
