IceManNYR 240 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) WCBS made another change to the morning newscast. John and Alex are no longer shown standing at the area to the right of the news desk for the start of the traffic and weather segments. At the top of the hour and half hour, Alex is at the chroma key wall and John stands at a podium. Alex did the other traffic reports from the news desk except for 5:45 and 6:45 when she was standing at the video wall.

RealNews18 204 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Unbelievable. Even News 12 has the anchors at least read the traffic report if nobody is filling in.

ProButtonPusher 230 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) The staffing just doesn’t work out sometimes. The right amount of people were off at the wrong time. It happens. Sometimes we make mountains out of molehills here, especially when it comes to substitute anchor situations.

I agree for the most part but honestly it’s pretty negligent for a morning news program to just neglect the traffic updates. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/26/#findComment-227411 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really can't be that hard for someone to throw a simple report together and read it.

24994J 5585 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Bingo. I don't want to hear the B.S. that "people can get it on their phones." The moment they adopt that attitude, they're contributing to their own demise. If the weatherperson was off, someone would fill in. If they couldn't get someone to fill in, the anchors would read a basic forecast. In the basic requirements of large market morning news (especially market #1), traffic is almost as important. 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/26/#findComment-227414 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nydem2015 52 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Is it official that Elise is doing mornings? Part of me still thinks either Lonnie or Bill Evans will end up doing mornings.

How is that acceptable to anyone who works at or runs WCBS - a station that promotes TRAFFIC & WEATHER on the 2s? There are tons of resources out there that they can use to put together a traffic report -- Google Maps, Waze, municipal agencies, traffic cams, etc. This is just pure laziness. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/26/#findComment-227864 Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceManNYR 240 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Jenna DeAngelis has subbed for Alex but I guess CBS2 would rather have her reporting for the morning newscast. Thursday they did have Alex, while subbing for Mary, do a few "Commuter Alert" segments after the weather reports but no full traffic reports. I also don't get why they no longer have a sub for Alex. Friday Jenna DeAngelis subbed for Alex.

IceManNYR 240 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Another day where Alex is subbing for Mary and they’re not bothering to do traffic reports. I find it ironic because this week you have Emily West subbing for Lauren on WNBC and Alex Lee is subbing for Heather on WABC.

nydem2015 52 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Maybe then they should just not have weather when Elise is out. If Mary and Chris are ever out the same day they should not just even bother doing the show at all. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/26/#findComment-228375 Share on other sites More sharing options...
