Eat News 4745 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 She was there for 10 years and only gets a 40-second sendoff? Shameful. It would have been easier for her to slip the sales punks $100 and buy an entire :60... Right before the kicker.

G2000 30 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I usually watch NBC10, but decided to try 3 this morning. After a one minute "eye opener" at 6:30, the remainder of the half hour was fluff. They repeated twice that a new casino had opened in Atlantic City and that it was free WAWA hoagie day downtown.

JULIUS MAY 3 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 It seems that the CBS 3 news operation has lost its relevance with the viewers in the market and been that way since the NBC days. The ratings and changes over the time reflects that.

PNart2 11 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Alexandria Hoff filled in on the 5 to 6:30 PM news tonight co-anchoring with Ukee. CBS3 needs more male anchors. The station only has 2, and one was converted from a sports guy, the other from a consumer reporter.

PNart2 11 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Joe Holden fills in as anchor sometimes on CBS3. I know, but there needs to be at least a 3rd male. Ukee should not be doing 4 newscasts in the evenings. Maybe give the 5 and 10 to someone else like Joe, and even give Jessica a rest too. I’m sure Natasha Brown has wanted a promotion for years, she’s one of the most tenured people at the station right now. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13098-the-cbs-3-eyewitness-news-thread/page/19/#findComment-207104 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JULIUS MAY 3 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Its sad that channel 3 hasn't been relevant for newscasts in the region for quite sometime,.

Nanis 0 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I wish CBS 3 had more relevant news for where I am. But then again, that's more an issue of no news popping up for here in general. It's ironic because "here" is a part of Philadelphia. Besides that I really like the station. Also, I'm new here. Hi everyone.

TheRolyPoly 2362 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Just throwing this out there... it's been 10 years since the Larry Mendte/Alycia Lane drama. They were probably last at that time and the scandal only led KYW's ratings to further continue into freefall. They haven't recovered since and may remain last for the remainder of its history.

TSSZNews 1051 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 IIRC the Mendte / Lane era propelled KYW to a competitive 2nd in the evening. This was also around the time Zucker was running NBC pre-Comcast (the "NBC 2.0" era) which trickled to the O&Os, hurting WCAU. KYW had a LONG way to climb from where it was prior to Mendte, but I do wonder how they would have fared had that not happened, and the team as assembled was still there.

CBS shouldn't be spending money on a news operation that's in last place. 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13098-the-cbs-3-eyewitness-news-thread/page/19/#findComment-208301 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBS shouldn't be spending money on a news operation that's in last place. I don’t think it’s that easy. The product may suck but we must remember that this is the pioneer of the Eyewitness News format with a rich legacy. You can’t just throw all of that away.

TVNewsLover 774 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 4pm news returning to CBS3. Staffing from within. Their product is already not that great, and now they’re expanding it?! http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2018/7/26/adding-more-news-in-philly I assume Dr. Phil moves to 3pm, and Family Feud moves to 57 or off the schedule.
