cbs2worksforyou 44 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Show sucks now. Used to watch the hard news CBS This Morning when it relaunched in 2012 and kept watching through to 2016ish. When they started making unnecessary changes to the show, including format, anchors, music and graphics even, things started to go downhill. I wanted to give this latest incarnation a chance, I really did, but this show is total crap. Gayle is more aggravating every day and Nate doesn’t look comfortable (none of them do). The random bits and silliness really take away from their mission. And I imagine viewers are tuning out in droves too. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13225-cbs-mornings/page/19/#findComment-264705 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lipstick on a pig is still a pig. Expand The first 30 mins of each morning show has decent news quality content. However, CBS Morning’s 8am lifestyle hour is still superior to the Disney sing-a-longs, half decent pop music performances, and deals and steals on GMA … and the laugh, cry, “authentic moments” on Today. (To it’s credit the 8am hour of Today is still more watchable than GMA). GMA & Today feel significantly dumbed down from their former selves. CBS Monings might have a few flaws (attempts to mimic the competition, and Gayle’s constant opinionated side remarks) but it’s still the more intelligent of the three shows.

MorningNews 1446 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) I don’t want to belabor the point further but just what does intelligent mean in morning TV? I certainly don’t feel any smarter having watched CBS over any other program lol. They hosts singers, actors, chefs, social media stars too - just without the flashiness. I’ve seen a viral video or two be shared on the show for a “cute” moment. Lipstick on a pig if you ask me.

MidwestTV 1232 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I saw the breaking variant of their L3s this morning at a glance and thought for some reason someone at work had changed the TV to CNN. Imitation is the best form of flattery (though I do prefer the CBS take). Still, you'd think someone from CBS would look at it in ideation in say "let's try to not look exactly like CNN." 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13225-cbs-mornings/page/19/#findComment-264923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vidifont 50 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Hopefully everyone on this has calmed. The new name has been slightly if not at all noticed by the audience. It's a clean sweep for a move to a new studio. The content of the program has not changed other than one anchor. A nice update that sits well. The use of the Sunday Morning music theme integrated for every morning show works. The audience knows this music as it has been used for over 42 years at CBS. "CBS logo" bug resize and realignment is interesting. Just need to get affiliates to time and temp update. 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13225-cbs-mornings/page/19/#findComment-264973 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action Newsroom 1277 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 CBS Saturday Morning debuted earlier. Includes a great segment of its history (includimg a mention if cartoon and live-action programming on the network before that). 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13225-cbs-mornings/page/19/#findComment-265074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
