YoungstownTV 0 Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Speaking of Detroit, I was actually able to pick up channels 2, 4, and 7 this morning on my antenna. Anyway, I caught the last local news cut-in for WDIV at 9:55 and I was quite impressed. Their graphics are beautiful.
TexasTVNews 1378 Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Good for FOX 2, now channels 2, 4 and 7 have 11pm newscast except WWJ (The Worst Station in Detroit). CBS Detroit don't even have the guts to bring back a news operation.
Mrtraveler01 738 Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 News Edge is also coming to KTVI soon. I saw a promo of it during the Rams game.
jhampsten 0 Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 News Edge is also coming to KTVI soon. I saw a promo of it during the Rams game. really, must have missed that. So that confirms all the rumors, and the anchor opening at KTVI. Finally a 3 station race to see who is number 1 at 10.

CBS Detroit don't even have the guts to bring back a news operation. No, what it's called is "ratings". Their syndicated fare at 11pm would probably get better ratings then what they'd get if they started a newscast. RATINGS = AD DOLLARS : Hey.. Maybe that's what it should come down to at WBBM in Chicago. Ratings for WFLD's "The Ten" (Chicago's version of NewsEdge) beats CBS 2 News at 10. Sure, Judge Judy at 10 probably wouldn't have any higher ratings than CBS 2 News at 10; however, just think of all the money they'd be saving by not producing a newscast at 10, not sending reporters/vans/photogs out at 10, and not paying Diann Burns to anchor the 10PM newscast.
Guest GForceTV Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 If I ran FOX, ALL owned-and-operated FOX affiliates would be required to have their own NewsEdge. In fact, FOX would be smart to make a national version of it.
