See a story by Lisa Rozner that aired at 5:00, followed by genuine thoughts by Kristine Johnson and Dick Brennan (in for Maurice) here: https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2020/07/20/remembering-nina-kapur/ The same package aired at 6:00 that night, with comments from Dana Tyler thereafter. The video of Dana’s comments appears at the bottom of the story linked above. Lisa Rozner also reported another story yesterday, this one with more details about Nina’s passing, and facts about Revel: https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2020/07/21/revel-scooters-new-york-city-cbs2-nina-kapur-death/amp/?__twitter_impression=true Thanks for sharing this.

IceManNYR 240 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Chris is in studio, Mary is anchoring from home. They are also back to doing that odd thing where Chris anchors one block of the newscast, then after the break Mary anchors the next block of the newscast. Curious what happened to have them revert to the anchors working from home? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/37/#findComment-249384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooneyhill1 11 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I don't think so, they both be anchoring together in the studio for real, in the WCBS-TV studio, not the CBSN New York studio.

Chris and Mary were back together in Studio 46 as of late, but starting on Monday, Mary has been home and Chris is solo in Studio 46 (Elise Finch has been at home since the pandemic started, with her home chromakey). Chris tweeted that Mary traveled out of state last week and is self-quarantining, per New York State guidelines: Edited August 26, 2020 by bc485 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/37/#findComment-249545 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYC based correspondent and substitute anchor for early mornings on NBC. Nice to see that she was able to secure a position at NBC News and MSNBC. Valerie left WCBS to join NBC to anchor a program on the now-defunct Quibi mobile service. As an aside, per the Washington Post, there is a COVID outbreak at the CBS Broadcast Center, which seems to be centered at WCBS-TV. Of course, most people will remember that there was an outbreak in March, at the beginning of the COVID crisis, at which time KCBS-TV produced WCBS-TV's newscasts for a few days. https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2020/11/20/cbs-headquarters-reports-15-coronavirus-cases/ Edited November 23, 2020 by bc485 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/37/#findComment-253748 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveNews 372 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 If the WCBS team needs to leave the CBS HQ for cleaning, etc, once again, what is their plan? Seems like they were caught without a plan B when KCBS had to produce and anchor the news for a few days this spring. Could the WCBS team temporarily move to the CBS Election HQ studio at Times Square? Is that studio still even operating?

He has been on the CBS Evening News a few times over the past two weeks (I think from the weather barn in his home). Probably just time off at WCBS for the holidays. I would not read too much into it. Kristine and Maurice have been off for two weeks, too. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/37/#findComment-255131 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a big fan of Blue Bloods, so I left Channel 2 on again after it ended last night just to see and, once again it was John Elliott. filling in, It seems now on most stations the A teams get Friday's off.

MediaZone4K 2193 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) Out of curiosity, I've seen it happen several times where Maurice and Christine anchor on a Sunday night. How come? Tonight I presume it's to promote their 11:00 team since it's after the super bowl?

Most CBS O&O's do this for the Super Bowl, Grammys, and anything else, because their stations are generally lower-rated and understaffed on the weekend desk, so it's a great opportunity to feature the main anchor team following a large lead-in. 3 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/37/#findComment-256620 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NowBergen 685 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 There are markets where the main anchor team is Sunday though Thursday. When I lived in St. Louis, that is how KSDK operated.

mooneyhill1 11 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Will 2 anchors get anchor closely together on CBS 2 News, when everything gets back to original normal?

MediaZone4K 2193 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) What is the alternation pattern for WCBS between the main set and the CBSN set? So far it seems they use the CBSN studio for noon, 6 p.m., and weekend evenings and nights, and the main set for all of the times. In other words, anytime there's a solo anchor broadcast?
