kshow 166 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Yes. I wonder why they aren’t taping in MTV’s studio. I know Viacom has some studio space that’s not being used.

d247 43 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 As far as I know, it's not like they're doing much at MTV Times Square. Last time I saw it, BET used it to cover Kobe's memorial service.

What do you want them to do, another LA show? I'm guessing there may be are labor reasons why CTM can go to the Ed Sullivan Theater and WCBS (or Last Week Tonight or whatever's still in the building) couldn't go to...say, the 60 Minutes building across the street. Or the Daily Show set which isn't far away from the Broadcast Center. Or what was the TRL space in Times Square. Honestly, I don't see a big reason why WCBS also couldn't also do the Sullivan theater unless they're really trying to adhere to this distancing--and if that's the reason, I can't totally blame them.

MediaZone4K 2165 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) It was a joke on the irony of the situation. There was so much controversy here surrounding studio choice and outsourcing their newscasts only to have the broadcast ultimately end up on the sidewalk. It's humoros to see how the crisis has forced big network broadcasts to improve by filming from the simplest of locations. Ultimately they got on the air and that's what counts.

Roadgeek Adam 170 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 If the WABC fire had damaged more than they expected, Kenny Plotnik said that morning broadcast would've been done on the sidewalk. Kudos to WCBS for doing it. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/33/#findComment-242752 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wabceyewitness 818 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Again, not understanding why they haven’t been anchoring from the sidewalk, another facility, a park, an empty Grand Central, empty studio space elsewhere, their apartments — literally anywhere in Manhattan — all along. I’m still not sure why anchors in Los Angeles need to anchor while WCBS is still able to get local reports on air. Either someone at CBS is stepping in and making this overly complicated, or WCBS is just not prepared for loss of studio.

None of this nonsense would be happening. Riverhead to Manhattan is nothing less than 90 minutes. It's good to see other talent from the LA O&O helping out WCBS.

Lots of "if only's" which won't help the current situation.. I also suspect the issue may be more than studio space since the building itself is closed down. The question is what are the current options CBS has, and what they will do short term, and perhaps long term. At the end of the day, does the typical viewer get the local information they need, including local weather and what little sports news there is? That is CBS's primary objective. 2 7 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/33/#findComment-242772 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGSJenkins 434 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) The KCBS anchor who was there this morning is Hermela Aregawi. This isn't normal times, we're in a state of emergency. May I remind you the entire CBS Broadcast Center is closed meaning the CBS network is controlled by LA, CBS News is controlled by DC & LA, and all shows productions (local, network, and syndicated) is stalled in that building.
