MediaZone4K 2165 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 20 hours ago, NowBergen said: Ice storm Friday morning. It’s not unusual for stations to start morning newscasts earlier when there is potential for severe weather. It’s not the first time. It’s not the last. I would not jump to any other conclusions. Jumped the gun. From the quote below I inferred that the earlier time slot would coincide with the possible new name. The question remains though. As many stations across the country are adopting earlier start times it leads me to wonder where the AM. personal stand on this. But that's probably best for the speculation thread. 21 hours ago, kshow said: Was watching CBS Mornings this morning, and on the ticker they stated 'CBS 2 Mornings' will be airing at 4AM on Friday.' - they must be slowly making the change to a new name.

NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Don't know if this is a permanent change; but noticed that CBS2 News Saturday Morning aired this morning from 9-11AM; as opposed to 6-7AM and 9-10AM. It appears to be permanent in the guides. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/41/#findComment-269954 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's to set an example but do they actually do that off-camera? For example, do they not interact within less than 6 ft of each other in employee areas, and do people socially distance in the newsroom?

Jornado 9 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Anyone know if CBS plans to fully convert WLNY News @ 9 back to its full on WLNY graphics, or just keep it with the half CBS-Half WLNY graphics?

Colortini 76 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I always thought she was good paired with Cindy. Anyone is good when paired with Cindy, though. I hate that John was moved to weekends but again, they work well together so I guess I can’t complain. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/41/#findComment-271192 Share on other sites More sharing options...

John is actually good on weekend morning I think he’ll have a better time to shine there, without the busyness of the mornings. I do think Elise Finch deserved a promotion, but I think this gonna be her last stop, cause if ever Lonnie Quinn retires which won’t happen for a long time they’re gonna hire someone for out-of-market. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/41/#findComment-271256 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern CBS O&O newscasts don't feel authentically like the cities they broadcast to. It just feels like a cooperate model duplicated in multiple markets (even though any o&o station on another network fits that exact definition). Fox 5 when Greg & Ro were on GDNY and Street Soldiers, WNBC with the whole 4 NY campaign and especially Eyewitness News feels more "New York" so to speak.

civic110 18 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 For the past few nights this week, the "WLNY News at 9" has had an open. The anchors tell what stories are coming up, weather, and sports and then the open for "CBS2 News at 9." The WLNY 10/55 bug is used during the newscast. I just find it weird that they really just produce at 30 minute newscast, and repeat it at 9:30, but I guess there's not that much viewership. Couldn't they just move it to 10pm to compete? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/41/#findComment-271392 Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the stations minus WABC have had pretty substantial turnover when it comes to reporters, but it probably doesn't help that there are a lot of unfamiliar reporter faces at WCBS. When it comes to anchors though, Maurice, Kristine, and Lonnie are a pretty solid team however. It would be nice if Don Dhaler anchored with Dana Tyler at 6.

They should split it Maurice/Kristine 5 and 11 and Dana/Dick 6 and 9pm (which only totals to 1 hour given the 9 stays a half hour). 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/41/#findComment-271489 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The split is a good idea...or I would put them at noon & 6 to cut down on the morning crew being there from after about 3 am.

Well, there are rumors that the O&Os will have a newscast at 9am, so they could extend the AM crew to 9am and perhaps have a new team at 12 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11655-wcbs-cbs2-news/page/41/#findComment-271529 Share on other sites More sharing options...
