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:

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.

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".

I like that it's shorter but it now has nothing to do with the station. They should have done either GainerCBS or GainerCBS2.

Another *facepalm* to the social media folks at WCBS. There is little point in making their talent put "TV" after their name. "TV" exists outside the realm of WCBS.

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).

ABC News: 9-10:30pm

NBC News: 9-11pm

CBS News: 9-10:30pm

Fox News: 9-10pm then the Fox 5 News from 10-10:30pm (yes, half hour)

WPIX: 9-10pm then the PIX 11 New at 10pm

"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.

Today was Lisa Kerney's last day on WCBS, she is going to Sports Center. Explains why she left The Couch.

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

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).

WCBS is actually streaming their special 4:00 edition of CBS 2 News. Let's hope they do this more often.

 

Darn! They just stopped it right now. Back to the ol' "Livestream is unavailable" crap.

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.)

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!)

Ummm... I think she was back today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75N3TzPI424

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.

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.

Yeah and keep Jill for entertainment or maybe have an evening traffic reporter?
