nynewslover 277 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 the guy was the mouth for the tapan zee bridge project. Yeah he resigned back in October.. Good for him. When he was on News12 I always knew he'd wind up somewhere bigger eventually. Hopefully he's full time and they give him some anchoring time Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/14/#findComment-140582 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bc485 87 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Brian Conybeare anchored the News at 5:00 p.m. (in for Maurice DuBois, who anchored the CBS Evening News) on CBS 2, and the News at 9:00 p.m. (in for Dick Brennan) on WLNY tonight. Kristine Johnson also anchored CBS This Morning today and last Friday. Moreover, Kristine and Maurice both had stories on CBS Sunday Morning this week. They are both getting pretty major exposure on the national stage lately.

Hope to see him a permanent anchor role in the future Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/14/#findComment-141661 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnbc2016 23 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 He was there again tonight. Perhaps the plan is to have him back at 5 and put Maurice at 6 with Dana. I hope not. Not a Wragge fan.

nynewslover 277 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 For the second time this week Chris Wragee is anchoring the 5 with Kristine Johnson.. Not sure if Maurice is off or doing the network but if Maurice were to move to network in the future I could definetly see Chris moving back to evenings 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/14/#findComment-142744 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio B 20 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 For the second time this week Chris Wragee is anchoring the 5 with Kristine Johnson.. Not sure if Maurice is off or doing the network but if Maurice were to move to network in the future I could definetly see Chris moving back to evenings I always thought that when Rob Morrison got canned that they put Wragge on mornings as a temporary bandage but he has stuck. IMHO, I think he's a better fit for mornings than evenings and he works well with Calvi. Personally I'd prefer to put Dick Brennan on evenings over Wragge but I don't see DuBois leaving anytime soon.

wnbc2016 23 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 The ratings will tank if Chris is brought back to evenings. If that does happen I suppose Cindy Hsu can take his place in the mornings. She should have a weekday spot. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/14/#findComment-142796 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think WCBS would want 2 females anchoring mornings and besides would Cindy even want to anchor mornings again after anchoring mornings for several years?

wnbc2016 23 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 She prob won't. Just saying she can. If Kristine goes to the network who do you see taking her spot? That's a possibility as well someday. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/14/#findComment-142879 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BehindNYNews 147 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Maurice is certainly network worthy. It's only time before CBS brings him up. 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/14/#findComment-142896 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studio B 20 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Wonder for what position. Maybe the CBS Evening News someday. I don't see Pelley going anywhere soon and he isn't that much older than DuBois is (I believe it's eight years). Next CBS gig likely to open up would be Charlie Rose's spot on CBS This Morning considering he's in his 70s but he did also sign a "long-term contract" last February.

wnbc2016 23 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Once Rose retires perhaps DuBois will take his spot. 60 Minutes tho is a possibility as well. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/14/#findComment-142956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnbc2016 23 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Chris is on again at 5. Seems there might be something to this. Maybe Maurice will move to the network or 6 pm show. Perhaps Chris has his contract up soon and is threatening to leave if he isn't put back on evenings.

Perhaps Chris has his contract up soon and is threatening to leave if he isn't put back on evenings. Let's not jump to conclusions. Someone asked Chris why he was doing the 5, and he simply replied that Maurice is under the weather and not feeling well. Either way I don't think Maurice would leave WCBS primetime news in the number 1 market for the network unless he was to take Scott Pelley's gig. And I don't see Scott Pelley stepping down quite yet. And I think Dana's pretty happy with the 6 solo. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/14/#findComment-143136 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are many positions at CBS News that could make a move worth while for Maurice. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/14/#findComment-143162 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoseRM303 171 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Kristine Johnson renews her agreement with WCBS as co-anchor of CBS2 news at 5 & 11 pm and also adds network anchor/correspondent to her duties as well. This probably explains why Kristine has been seen at network anchoring lately.

NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Well looks like WCBS is having some technical problems trying to get their 5pm newscast up. It's been about 15 minutes of straight commercials since Judge Judy ended. The anchor's are tweeting saying it is in fact technical problems and to stand by. They just actually fixed it now, so the news is finally up. It started pretty shaky though, with the anchors' mics going through the videos, among several other technical problems.

IceManNYR 238 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 People on Twitter noting the reporters mics are not on. There was very loud distortion during the weather forecast. This appears to be an automation problem hence Chris noting there is no audio person to blame. [MEDIA=twitter]694292426433888256[/MEDIA] The 6pm newscast has no graphics besides the bug with time and temp. I can hear someone who should not have their mic on right now talking over a report.
