Jase 1056 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 i've said this before why is it that rob goes through co anchors very frequently? One would assume that management doesn't believe he's the problem which why he has outlasted 4 different co-anchors. They are willing to back him no matter what the reason behind their ratings woes are. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14041-random-wbbm-thread/page/8/#findComment-155558 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't all CBS O&Os see a bump while Zucker gutted NBC for the Comcast takeover?

24994J 5589 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I just assumed this was more a function of NBC 2.0 rather than Rob Johnson. Didn't all CBS O&Os see a bump while Zucker gutted NBC for the Comcast takeover? Rob, as a solo anchor, was also the third most-tenured anchor "team" in town, in mid-2009. Fox, with an established team (Goldblatt/Robinson at 9, Novarro/Cohn at The Ten), was still getting over Suppelsa's exit. WGN was in transition with Sanders/Payne shifting to Suppelsa/Materre. NBC, while tighten its belt, was also dealing with Saunders' retirement, Sirott's sudden exit, and having to settle for Stafford. Magers and Brock were dominant and untouchable, but #2 was up for grabs, so it wasn't too hard for Rob and CBS to move up the ladder.

Dk_mediaNYC 30 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 CBS in general makes the best sets out of any O&O group in its markets (except WJZ, but that doesn't count) i think they should sell WJZ they don't invest in it at all its a waste someone like TENGA or TRIBUNE WOULD INVEST IN it what tv stations Keep The Same Set for almost 20 years (WITH NO MAJOR UPGRADES) or NEW GRAPHICS 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14041-random-wbbm-thread/page/8/#findComment-155580 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBS should either invest in WJZ for once with a new set and new graphics or sell it off to TEGNA (I would say they could sell WJZ to Tribune, but buying it would put it over the cap). 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14041-random-wbbm-thread/page/8/#findComment-155587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Rubber 705 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I saw WBBM's newscast for the first time in ages a few nights ago. It looks like they've finally decided to replace the burned-out lights...compared to a few years ago when it looked like they were just gonna let the set fall apart. I guess it's still a nice set, but it's bizarre that it's spent like 6 years being used in this unintended format compared to the, what, 5 months under Ahern where the set was used according to its original design. Is there still talk of them ever moving out of that streetside studio, or is that talk dead in the water?

I haven't heard anything, so I would consider the issue/matter dead (for now). Maybe once they reach the 10 yr. mark, they will get a new set.

24994J 5589 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 In a stunning turn, the clouds parted and my antenna was able to pick up CBS 2 in amazing quality. As I said before, I don't like the edited theme cut in the opens (the rejoins sound okay), but the skyline imagery looks fantastic. Notice the old lower third that pops up in the morning video.

Jay Russell 25 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 The graphics in my opinion have helped WBBMs sloppy apperance in a huge way but the cramped camera angles some lights being out the newsroom the lobby hell even the big screen tv outside the studio making Washinghton St in Downtown Chicago look like NYC the point is it look great in my opinion but the set needs to be changed. Hell i wouldnt even mind if they threw the desk where it use to be but if they try and do that (change the bulb in the other backdrop) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14041-random-wbbm-thread/page/8/#findComment-157098 Share on other sites More sharing options...
