PelicanGuy 117 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 WWL will be scaling back the "Eyewitness Morning News" starting December 5. Currently airing 4:30 - 9 am, it will run from 4:30 - 7 am. That same day, "CBS Morning News" - currently airing on WUPL - will air on WWL from 7-9 am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3458 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Sad, sad day in New Orleans for this finally happening..... But it is the LAST CBS affiliate to clear the show on its main station...meaning that CBS has finally found a morning show that works? I prefer local newscasts from 7-9, but CBS's morning show is a great alternative to Today and GMA without all of the hype and lack of substance. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Block 1488 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Just off the top of my head, KUTV still only runs the 8am hour. That is probably the biggest exception by market size. KGMB runs it in full, but from 8-10am according to schedules. There may be a few others as well? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it came up at affiliation renewal time? No way they'd willingly give up that cash cow of a newscast and send viewers in search of local news over to Fox 8, a station that's been gaining on them in most time slots.

CircleSeven 1944 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 From a release back in June from WWL's website, its morning show will be split. The 7-9am portion will be moved to WUPL 54. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3458 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 WWL has been losing ground over the last few years, and this move could be what puts either WDSU or WVUE ahead of them in the ratings. If their CBS affiliation was ever in jeopardy, WWL would do just fine as an independent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the double post, but yeah. Its official. That's pretty sad because if it does horribly on WUPL, then the 30-year-old 7-9am block will be vanished. I'd bet WVUE is ECSTATIC at this news considering that this can hurt WWL's morning news ratings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGMB runs it in full, but from 8-10am according to schedules. There may be a few others as well? WFMY airs CBS This Morning from 8-10am after The Good Morning Show, a program that's been around since the late 1950s. I know it's a Piedmont Triad tradition and all, but will it be next to move CTM to 7am (meaning cutting an hour of TGMS)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 3065 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 KOTV runs CBS This Morning on an hour delay from 8-10am, like WFMY. But they also have a 4.5 hour morning show, like WWL. They air the 8am hour of their morning show on KQCW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEOMatrix 1295 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised if WFMY, KOTV, and KUTV all get in line next year and run CBS This Morning 7-9. However, I could see WFMY running a 9am hour of GMS. KOTV and KUTV? Maybe, if they're willing to keep Let's Make a Deal at 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWL still beats both stations by a good margin, but that 7-9 am block will be interesting, especially during February sweeps. I suspect Tegna forced this change...the network had no problem all of these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect Tegna forced this change...the network had no problem all of these years. Stupid decision for Tegna to drop WWL Morning News on Channel 4. Are viewers really going to switch over to WUPL to watch the news? CBS This Morning has come a long way, but WWL Morning news has been king for decades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
