NYTV 121 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 14 minutes ago, RealNews18 said: 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.

IceManNYR 240 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Full traffic reports returned this morning as CBS2 brought back "Traffic & Weather On The 2s". Another change was Alex and Elise did the "CBSNewYork.com Top Trending Stories" and "2 Talkers" segments. "CBSNewYork.com Top Trending Stories" had been Alex, Chris and Mary and "2 Talkers" was Alex, Chris, Mary and Elise. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/29/#findComment-231348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey 860 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I was surprised Alex wasn't filling in for Chris at the anchor desk. Perhaps they decided they should do traffic and no one else is capable?

IceManNYR 240 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) I wonder if the change was in part due to complaints from viewers about the reduction of traffic reports? Few weeks ago Chris Wragge posted to his IG story a video that panned from him to Alex with text "For all those asking where the traffic reports are". By Friday traffic reports were deemed not important. Alex was off and they only did "Weather On The 2s".

I'm not 100% what their stats look like but when you are competing with WABC, WNBC I just feel that CBS2 has lost it's touch in the morning. CBSN New York is a lot better than the morning news (IMO).

IceManNYR 240 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Tuesday Alex was co-anchoring subbing for Mary and they used the "Weather on the 2s" branding, having Alex do limited traffic reports. Today Alex was off but Jenna DeAngelis was subbing doing traffic and the "Traffic & Weather on the 2s" branding returned. Do any other stations do this?

RealNews18 204 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 So I have a question.. has WCBS made any morning news promos with all of them standing together m? Or have they just used clips from the show? I ask because Bill Evans once again responded back to someone on Facebook saying that he’d be back on tv “soon”.. now WCBS is really the only one I can think of that he’s going too. Unless something is in the works at FOX5 that we don’t know about. I highly doubt PIX..

From what I notice when I watch TINY uninterrupted News first 10 minutes than weather & traffic.. The only station that has really kept their branding is WABC.

Usually, Kristine doesn't work weekends unless in this situation. While we're at this. I haven't seen Kristine or Maurice do early PM's at CBSN. Although Dana does the 6PM newscast. I believe she does CBSN I think 2 days out of the week at 1PM.

NYNews 54 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I don't know who is hiring or scheduling the on-air talent on WCBS, but it seems they have a look that they go for, especially for their female anchors other than Kristine, Dana and Cindy. The female anchors they choose look like plastic dolls with no sign of personality/chemistry at all: Alice Gainer, Jessica Moore, Alex Denis. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/29/#findComment-232700 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MediaZone4K 2172 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) Guess the one saving grace at WCBS is its main studio and lighting is perhps the best in the market currently.
