Lance 2 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Just asking, do you think his sleeves will be rolled up? I'm not sure on this one. As of tonight's 5/6pm broadcast, the jacket's off and the sleeves are rolled up. I guess it's officially serious now. :lol: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/5/#findComment-95612 Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchorman 94 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Carolina (The Couch) will be out 4-6 weeks. She just underwent back surgery. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/5/#findComment-95965 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceManNYR 240 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 That explains why Jill has returned to being a co-host. Two weeks ago she went from being a co-host with Carolina and John to just doing traffic reports.

NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 WCBS changed their twitter handles. I guess they got the message that "LastnameWCBSWLNY" was too long. It's now "LastNametv". Much shorter. However, if they wanted to change their handles, they should of still identified the station it it. I would of done something like "Gainer2" or "Gainer21055". I know they want to identify both stations, but it's better than "WCBSWLNY".

There is little point in making their talent put "TV" after their name. "TV" exists outside the realm of WCBS.

wabceyewitness 818 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Or "lastnameCBSNY". It conveys CBS New York, and kind of combines WCBS and WLNY. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/5/#findComment-97011 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I just have a question about the state of the union address. I know it doesn't belong here, but I didn't want to create a new thread over it. Will the coverage be local or national? I'm assuming national, but wasn't sure. (I know WPIX will be local and just maybe WNYW). Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/5/#findComment-97012 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffrey 860 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 "TV" at the end of the Twitter names is weird. I've come to associate it with what freelancers use. I think it's even worse than "WCBSWLNY"... Bravo to Chris Wragge for being apparently the only one to keep his name his name.

Much higher profile. That being said, WCBS in the mornings continues to be amateur hour. Show needs a major revamp.

NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 WCBS will be on at 4AM tomorrow for storm coverage. Not sure about WABC or WNBC (WPIX normally starts at 4AM, and I can tell you right now that WNYW will not be starting early, they never do).

Geoffrey 860 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 They've also been promoting a "new and improved Mobile 2, equipped with more high-tech features." No further explanation but it looks like those high-tech features are mounts for the cameras. (One facing the reporter, the other facing forward.)

NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 According to WLNY's facebook page, Carolina Bermudez will be back on 'The Couch' tomorrow (2/7). Interesting to see what anchors they'll chose to host. I'm personally not a big fan of Jill, she's lost a lot of her beauty since her plastic surgery and is not a good news anchor. I think she's good talent for traffic, though. Personally, I think they were wrong to get rid of Jodi. Yet again, it may of been her choice to leave (if anyone can clarify that, it would be appreciated!)

Yet again, it may of been her choice to leave (if anyone can clarify that, it would be appreciated!) Carolina was back from surgery today. Honestly, what WCBS should do is this: Have Chris Wragge, Mary Calvi, and Carolina co-host The Couch. Have Dana Tyler take over the noon newscast (either in addition to the 6pm or have Dick and Alice pick up the 6pm in addition to the 9pm.) I agree, Jill is not a fit.

NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 WCBS has had a new voice-over lately doing a lot of their promos that's not Brian Lee. It would be great if he replaced Brian on the opens. Not that Brian's bad, it's just that his voice is getting old.
