EVVTV12 141 Posted July 16, 2024 Share Posted July 16, 2024 I was listening to WBBM Newsradio last night during the tornado warnings for Chicago and they still called the tv side as CBS2. I have a feeling it will take some time to call it CBS Chicago.

I'm sure if there was still a co-ownership, there would be a greater effort to ensure the copy is updated to make sure "CBS Chicago" is what's mentioned. Otherwise, the radio side, as you mentioned, is just like the average person- it will take time to normalize the new name.

WeatherandTraffic 54 Posted July 17, 2024 Share Posted July 17, 2024 David Yeomans is great addition to the weather team and the station. I really like his enthusiasm about the weather and how professional he is, just like the rest of the weather team. Speaking of, has Ed Curran been on lately? Because he usually fills in at 11am, but it's been Mary Kay Kleist(who worked well with David the last 2 nights). It seems like Ed is having health issues again and they really need 2 more meteorologists to relieve the rest of the team, especially Mary Kay whose supposed to be part time. But feels like she's double time. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14041-random-wbbm-thread/page/28/#findComment-298747 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like he has a fun personality based on his day in CBS Chicago’s “Friday Takeover” on Instagram.

I believe they were the only station to call in their main anchors. Everyone else had their usual weekend anchor(s). The new set is good, but KCAL did it best. I dont care for story images taking over the video wall completely like above. It doesn't look as great as a skyline shot. like this style better: Edited July 18, 2024 by MediaZone4K 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14041-random-wbbm-thread/page/28/#findComment-298760 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 1046 Posted August 23, 2024 Share Posted August 23, 2024 (edited) Ed is back (as of yesterday I believe??) and is working from home (like Mary Kay). That said, they still have a job (posted on 7/30) for a weather anchor/reporter; which could suggest Ed's return is temporary (i.e.. he will retire at some point, etc..) or this new meteorologist will work on the weekends.

The green space is placed at the former weather center end, wrapping around to the anchor desk space and the unseen 4th wall. 2 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14041-random-wbbm-thread/page/28/#findComment-300786 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R. 90 Posted October 10, 2024 Share Posted October 10, 2024 And with so many changes happening at 2, they’ve quietly dropped their 4:30am half of the morning newscast which has been part of the morning show since it was reinstated back in 2010. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14041-random-wbbm-thread/page/28/#findComment-300972 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a cost-savings move. I wouldn't be overly concerned about it. Overall, they have been making moves to better position themselves moving forward, imo. Getting the jumbotron fixed, moving back to the streetside studio, getting a AR/VR weather setup and moving Baker back to sports have been huge positives. Heck... they even went as far as to replace the tv monitors in the lobby with four big new ones. Hopefully, they're not forced to make any huge personnel cuts in the near future. Sidenote: I can't help but notice that Jim's hands tend to shake/tremble a lot. I hope he's not dealing with a serious medical condition. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14041-random-wbbm-thread/page/28/#findComment-300978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
