CBS Mornings

[JTT 111]

The Gates replaces the talk show.  I was wondering if the show was still getting viewership, why didn't they just move it to paramount plus for streaming or put it on the other local CBS affiliate in certain markets for syndication?

Interesting…

 

I’d like for affiliates to have a choice if it’s only a half hour…

 

Keep Y&R at 12:30 and run B&B and Gates from 1:30-2:30 and syndicated programming at 2:30.

 

Or hourlong news from noon-1pm, Y&R from 1-2 and the two half hour soaps from 2-3 but I know that will never happen 

I'd be on board with CBS allowing its affiliates to have the full Noon-1PM Eastern time slot for local midday news... The Price Is Right remain in its 11AM Eastern time slot... and CBS shifting The Young & The Restless to 1PM Eastern time... The Bold & The Beautiful moving to 2PM Eastern time... and The Gates at 2:30PM Eastern time.

Reasons why there’s a less than 0% chance of “mandating” carriage. They already take up more of an affiliate’s schedule in daytime than ABC & NBC, so getting another hour is a non-starter. Now, if they were to (this is not a serious proposition) cancel Y&R, you could make that case. Or (slightly more so plausible) if they sent Let’s Make a Deal out to pasture. Or (perhaps most plausible but not for some time) if The Gates fails

to get out of the gate on a good footing, that could be an hour to claim for the morning brand expansion. But the idea any affiliate group is ceding an hour back is just not reality in 2024.

 

I'd also be okay with CBS parting ways with Let's Make A Deal to accommodate CBS Mornings Plus, and affiliates having the option to air it at 9AM or 10AM.

[HanSolo 154]

The ship sailed on the Gates being a half hour, so unless B&B goes bye-bye, that 12:30 start time is locked in for the foreseeable future. Down the road,  if the Gates fizzles, who knows. 
 

If the network decides it really has something with the morning hour and Deal is odd  show out, so be it. It’s a perfectly suitable and flexible option and does decently enough for a daytime game show, companion in many markets to Price. It’s possible, but also a long way from becoming reality.

I fully support The Gates being only  30 minutes but based on previous reporting I thought it will be an hour, fully occupying The Talk's slot. 

 

I also wouldn't mind a third hour of CBS Mornings as opposed to a hard newscast or local newscast, but I dont see the CBS stations with 3pm newscasts canceling them to accommodate an expanded CBS Daytime. 

 

IMO, CBS is the best of a bad bunch among daytime tv right now.

The Gates is an hour. One for one replacement for the Talk. 

[bpatrick 73]

So otherwise nothing changes.  Let's Make a Deal airs at either 10 AM or 3 PM (ET), The Price Is Right stays at 11, Y&R is still at 12:30 (ET), 11 or 11:30 everywhere else, B&B at 1:30 (ET).  At least that's how it looks.  And it seems for now that CBS News' third hour is not going on the full network but rather a few o&os and then also subchannels (like 2-2 where I live).  Even WCBS isn't carrying it on its main channel.  Things can change, but it looks to me like this is what CBS has in mind.

A lot of the larger affiliates carry the Judge Judy reruns in syndication in the afternoon. I could see them eventually going off their schedule giving affiliates that extra hour. The trick will be getting the affiliates to give back that hour to the network.

Gayle King is re-upping with CBS (News/Mornings). Details aren't yet disclosed.

Although "Judge Judy" ended in 2021, reruns of her show have stood the test of time in syndication.  That's quite amazing!  Meanwhile, her Amazon series, "Judy Justice," is now also in syndication, so she is in even more places on broadcast television.

With CBS Mornings Plus debuting Monday, WFOR is moving their 9am to 8am on WBFS, restoring a 7-9am news block on the latter for the first time since 2008. WWJ and WBBM are moving their 9ams to streaming.

 

KYW, WCCO and WJZ are keeping their 9ams.

Looking forward to the day we can see it on the affiliates and not just some of the O&Os. Some stations, especially in smaller markets, will easily take it instead of paying for syndication or investing in local programming to fill that hour. Plus, they already pay the network enough money as is.

Based on the very negative social reaction to this interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates where Tony basically said his new book should be 'in the backpack of an extremist' and questions about whether Palestinians should exist, whatever promotional juice they had for the third hour is immediately gone because now PG has to do damage control around this mess.

 

I'm not going to be shocked if multiple publishing agents are pretty much done with the show if you get overly aggressive questioning about what you wrote on a morning show where your publisher paid for the promo. Morning show interviews about beach reads never get this heated, much less most bio or non-fiction fare. Like you should question about the book for sure, but Tony was virtually screaming at the author and it's a shock that Ta-Nehishi was still able to joke at the end of this.

Am I the only one who watched the interview?  Tony didn't suggest that Palestinians shouldn't exist; that's a ridiculous thing to post.  There was no disrespect from Tony.  His questions were certainly direct but were asked with a calm voice and a clear invitation for Coates to respond openly.  

 

Have any of you lobbing criticism at Tony actually read Coates' book?  Coates explained that he wrote about the Israel-Gaza conflict exclusively through the lens of the plight of the Palestinians and did not at all discuss the Israeli perspective or the violence they've endured because he felt the Israeli perspective was widely covered elsewhere in media.  So of course it's fair game for a journalist to ask why he chose to do that and the potential implications of that.

 

If you write controversial or one-sided points of view in a book and go on a hard news network's morning show to discuss it, you should expect pointed questions about those views.  This is the network of 60 Minutes; not People Magazine.

The segment needed to be longer, they were getting into a real conversation and there was only 20 seconds left. 

 

When I say CBS Mornings is the smarter of the three morning programs, this is what I mean. These are the substantive conversations that Today used to have and it and GMA now lack.

 

Tony asked good questions, and Coates gave good answers. I think what turned people off from Tony was the way he personalized asking his first question, rather than just lobbying a general question. 

 

It also seemed like Tony was advocating for one side in his questioning of why Coates only advocated for one side.

CBS News says heated Ta-Nehisi Coates interview did not meet editorial standards after criticism

 

"CBS News executives said Monday that a heated morning show interview with acclaimed author Ta-Nehisi Coates, during which his new book was compared to “extremist” writings, did not meet the network’s editorial standards."

The CBS Mornings Plus edition was replaced by a special edition of the regular Mornings, featuring Gayle, Tony and Adriana, due to coverage of Hurricane Milton.

Gayle King hosted the Christmas show solo and I actually like the idea of doing a one-person show given the pre-recorded nature of the Christmas broadcasts. Somehow has a more intimate vibe.

 And the next day, we had Nate Burleson solo as well. I found it quite curious, given that ABC and NBC had their traditional team. On Mornings Plus, we had the Adriana-Tony duo as usual.

Not at all. That said depending who GMA replaces Strahan with, I'd be worried if I were Nate Burleson...

CBS and Gayle King are getting hammered in the social media comments for this by fans. It might have been somewhat controversial last year, but now with Jeff Bezos cozying up to the current president and his dramatic changes at The Washington Post, this is a very bad look for a news anchor. She will no longer be able to report honestly on a major newsmaker, at least up until the launch, and she will likely feel indebted to him for the rest of her life. The question is whether CBS will be similarly tied.

I thought the same about the optics. Bezos is a controversial figure, now King appears embedded with him. 

 

Secondly, Gayle is brave. My childhood dreams of seeing space as a civilian ended after learning about the Challenger Disaster... let alone all the plane mishaps in the news.

As for copying, The Morning Show did the morning news anchor in space via a tech Billionaire's rocket already with Reese Witherspoon
