It looks like the 11am newscast is using the CBSN branding, according to on-line listings... I guess they’re trying to get folks familiar with CBSN DFW, yet keeping the CBS11 branding for most newscasts.

I will say this the Dallas TV stations always tries to be New York sometimes no originally it's stupid.

Roadrunner 216 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 It was mentioned earlier before that KOVR was near completion, but I don't think this article was shared: https://thedesk.matthewkeys.net/2020/06/cbsn-sacramento-launch-cbs-news-kovr-kmax-good-day/ As of June 15, CBSN Sacramento is scheduled to launch in the first half of July. Of course, CBS is in no position to really make CBSN's promises happen right now and the article also makes it clear that "off-peak hours" will all stream the national feed so,.....basically CBSN Chicago soft launch part 2?

Posts in this thread have shown that the clue to a launch happening "soon" (at least, figuratively) are a change in on-air graphics, with new weather graphics in particular. WJZ and WFOR haven't even moved over yet, so I don't expect them to launch their CBSNs any time soon either (not that they couldn't pull a fast one either, but I would assume they wouldn't?). As for KOVR, they really only have one one week left this month to at least launch in July, but...I'm not holding my breath, especially considering how lowkey the operation will reportedly be anyways.

Depends on the market; for example, CBSN Boston was airing the local newscasts on weekends up until now. No banner at the top saying that CBSN Boston would resume on Monday as with the CBSN Local sites that weren't carrying weekend newscasts to begin with. Could be a budgetary issue or possibly technical. Edit: The Los Angeles and Bay Area CBSNs are still running local news. Could be budgetary after all. Edit 8/16 WBZ news is back on CBSN Boston as of the 6:30PM Sunday newscast. Could have been a technical issue. Who knows?

Sounds like sales needs to get more creative then... It is much easier to track viewer metrics and trends with the streaming/app than with the OTA signal which means pitching the demographics to the right advertisers is easier than ever. Start by offering it as added value to a package to sweeten a deal (especially in markets where CBS doesn't have the ratings advantage for a sale [read: Chicago]) and readjust if and when things take off...

newsbot 271 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Once again CBSN Boston isn't airing Saturday news simulcasts. Not sure why they'd blow off just one day's worth of local news simulcasts instead of just taking the weekend off. If this weekend continues the pattern the simulcasts will return tomorrow. Weird. This Saturday they're not evey running the national CBSN feed - just a continuous animated loop of "You're Watching CBSN Boston" Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16583-cbs-television-stations-launching-cbsn-local-streaming-services-modeled-after-cbsn/page/8/#findComment-249349 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Saturday they're not evey running the national CBSN feed - just a continuous animated loop of "You're Watching CBSN Boston" I've also encountered this problem with WBZ's weekend newscasts on CBSN before and I've just chalked it up to just some glitch that someone in the control room might not be aware of or that there is no manpower dedicated to weekend CBSN operations (if this is actually the case, it's likely an unfortunate consequence of their budget cuts, considering that WBZ had the more consistent CBSN operations of the ones with the service anyways). But then again, WBZ This Morning did air on Saturday morning, so...it's just inconsistent. The problem is replicated across almost all CBSNs, which basically don't stream weekend ops, and it's really disappointing / actually kind of depressing considering these are CBS-owned. Speaks to how local news is & isn't valued by corporations & society alike.

T.L. Hughes 890 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Pluto TV is now making all ten CBS Local services available nationwide. Previously, users could only access CBSN New York and CBSN Los Angeles, while the other eight services were geolocked to their respective markets due to limited channel space allocated to Pluto's news tier. To make room for the Chicago, Bay Area, Philadelphia, Dallas-Fort Worth, Boston, Denver, Minnesota and Pittsburgh services, Pluto created a dedicated "Local" tier, currently occupying channels 1021-1031 (with 1028 unused, given CBSTVS hasn't launched CBSN services in Baltimore, Sacramento and Miami yet). Unlike other Pluto channels, the CBSN Local services are running local ads and promos for the parent CBSTVS outlets outside of their home markets.

newsdude 61 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Speaking of CBSN, looks like the producers at KDKA are pushing to unionize, with CBSN mentioned in the release. As far as I know, they’ve been running a bare bones operation since the launch and the last round of Viacom cuts: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16583-cbs-television-stations-launching-cbsn-local-streaming-services-modeled-after-cbsn/page/8/#findComment-253558 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an operations or staffing issue brought on by the pandemic. Or someone else with more expertise can chime in, but CBSN Local operations are basically a skeleton right now that prioritize primarily (or only) weekday newscasts, unless it's CBSN LA, for example. -------------- Unrelated, but this is good to hear for CBSN: "CBSN Thrives On 2020 News Explosion, Reaching 1 Billion Streams, Tripling Its 2019 Viewership" https://deadline.com/2020/12/cbsn-streaming-cbs-news-2020-covid-19-1234660980/ Encouraging to read. But CBSN is still dead right now. And 3 stations still need it. And most stations still need the structure/space to live up to the idea's promise. So this whole thing is really still very beta-esque right now. Awaiting to see if/how they'll rebound in the spring/summer with the vaccine now.

GodfreyGR 652 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Saw this when going on the CBSN app just now- beginning of the rollout of the new CBSN logo/graphics? This was the only instance I was able to find so far tonight. CBSN NY is back to the regular logo on their tile already.
