The CBS 3 Eyewitness News Thread

[mark 55]

I'm glad he landed somewhere but that's a big drop. I thought Shiba's drop was big from NY to ATL but Chris is way bigger. His former co anchor Jessica left KARK there for KYW and he's going there ( KATV). Either markets don't mean nothing any more or the bigger markets are not hiring them. Even Rob is going down a lot of markets but for some reason I don't see it as a demotion compare to the other two. Best of luck to him.

He's a Little Rock native, so I would imagine market size doesn't mean as much to him as returning to his hometown.

 

Seems like a great deal for KATV to get someone with his talent AND a history in the market/at the station.

KYW and all the others have made it super easy and convenient to stalk reporters via social media.

"If you are dressed like that then you are asking for it"

 

If TV stations keep pushing employees to play this crazy social media game then someone IS gonna get hurt or killed.

KYW and all the others have made it super easy and convenient to stalk reporters via social media.

"If you are dressed like that then you are asking for it"

 

If TV stations keep pushing employees to play this crazy social media game then someone IS gonna get hurt or killed.

 

This is absolutely accurate.

Many female anchors and reports all have the similar styles of dress--literally a dress. Their looks, dress style and demeanors on air make them vulnerable to creepos to contact with them in any way.

And this was a thing years before social media became a way of life. And now that it is, it's even easier. And scarier.

And the "you were asking for it" excuse is paper-thin, but sadly gives the sickos a leeway into the women they are following.

These recent examples from KYW are just the tip of the iceberg, but are still alarming on their own.

 

This needs to addressed in bigger places. The stations need to tone down the social media aspect for their employees, because another female anchor will get hurt if or even worse.

 

And it can and will happen to male anchors too.

Will CBS3 be getting the new o&o graphics or will they keep the regular look?

Knowing 3, they'd modify the O&O GFX.

They'd mess up the music as well (using the morning cut of NG4 at night doesn't work)

hey, it works for 3. (They're trying to distance themselves from being WCBS' "twin")

[LVForward 94]

They also seem to be trying to distance themselves from news. Eyewitness Features. The difference between CBS Local O&O's approach to news and that of CBS News - especially CBS This Morning is striking. At least here in Philly we get all that fluff & stuff from KYW now, while we get serious journalism and "More News." from the network. Does the B in CBS now stand for Bi-polar?

Maybe their goal is to bring back PM Magazine lol

[LVForward 94]

That would only work if one of their "notables" would return too - Maury Povich, Ray Murray, Richard Bey, or even Jerry Penacoli.

That's Evening Magazine, you heathen.

Keep an "eye" out. Very very soon.

[jb542 13]

Do you work at CBS or something? Haha

[bhratbrat 437]

I think they have the KYW signature now integrated

[WCAUTVNBC10 413]

We discussed this a few pages back when this open debuted. It's only for the morning show.

[PAnderson1 27]

CBS3 now has the new CBS O&O graphics.

[jb542 13]

Does anyone have the new open?

[WCAUTVNBC10 413]

Does anyone have the new open?

 

I'll post it after the show is over.

[PAnderson1 27]

I'll post it after the show is over.

It was a breaking news open today.

[WCAUTVNBC10 413]

It was a breaking news open today.

 

Yeah. Maybe at 5 today.

[Action Newsroom 1299]

Its 5:00. That open is great. Fits in great with everything the other stations are doing.

[WCAUTVNBC10 413]

Here we go:

 

 

They're no longer using the morning cut of Enforcer for opens and there's actual city footage in the open and not some still picture composited over some stock sky animation. Also they're now IDing individual newscasts. They had gotten away from that for awhile. Big improvement for them.

Thank goodness they kept the Eyewitness News name.
