jrogo 196 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Couldn't find a CBS News Streaming topic so I thought I'd start one so we can keep track of any changes. Today 9/6, CBS News announced John Dickerson would be anchoring a new show, CBS News Prime Time, at 7PM ET, which was previously branded as "Newshour" and featured a rotating group of anchors. John will anchor from Studio 57, the show will be live Monday - Thursday. Prime Time will go up against ABC News Live's Lindsey Davis and NBC News NOW's Tom Llamas. The graphics are what you'd expect and inline with CBS News' new graphics. Johns style is certainly different compared to his competition. Tonight was Prime Time's debut, below is the first couple minuets.

C Block 1566 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 If he doesn't work on Face the Nation, put him on Mornings. It he doesn't work on Mornings, put him on streaming. If he doesn't work on streaming, ....? I'm sure he's probably a nice guy, but he just doesn't have that on-screen presence that clicks with viewers. If he's their idea for a marquis show on the streaming channel, then the streaming channel must be in a lot more trouble than it looks. 4 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19164-cbs-news-streaming/#findComment-277319 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a good idea, the rotation of anchors at this time of 19 pm is huge in streaming... And he's a familiar face, good for a match against Llamas and Linsey. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19164-cbs-news-streaming/#findComment-277323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler 151 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Not a fan of the opening graphic or music. They’re both kind of a departure from the CBS streaming look debuted earlier in the year. As for the show itself. Not sure why CBS executives thought this was a good move. The show is as dry as his personality. Bring back News Hour and give me Jericka Duncan. 3 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19164-cbs-news-streaming/#findComment-277324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycnewsjunkie 1441 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I’ve come up with a tagline: “John Dickerson: He’s not Chuck Todd.” Hopefully these were just first day jitters, but there’s much to be improved upon to say the least. 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19164-cbs-news-streaming/#findComment-277325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 3304 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 When the relaunch was first announced, the 7pm hour was going to be anchored by a rotation of different correspondents and established anchors. Dickerson was among those. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19164-cbs-news-streaming/#findComment-277332 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, You would think CBS executives would want someone young and vibrant to go against Lindsey Davis and Tom Llamas at that hour. Instead…., Just goes to show CBS doesn’t have the leadership or decision makers needed to be competitive in today’s news business. It’s almost as if they’ve conceded to being in 3rd place forever.

Newsjunkie24 506 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I actually have liked John on everything he's done and think he's a great politics reporter. Hope he does well on this new program.

He’s certainly earned his pay as a political reporter, but he was just a little bit awkward on his opening night. I’m sure he’ll improve with time. Personally, he isn’t my favorite choice (I would’ve preferred Elaine Quijano), but I’ll admit that having someone of his caliber certainly helps their streaming effort. Again, even at his worst, he’s miles better than Chuck Todd. 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19164-cbs-news-streaming/#findComment-277365 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbsgeo 25 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 They could have also put Lilia Luciano. She’s young, she has anchored CBS News streaming shows before and just recently she announced she was now going to be based in New York. She could have competed well against Linsey Davis. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19164-cbs-news-streaming/#findComment-277377 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes sense given they brand their election coverage as 'America Decides'. Best to have all things political aligned in some way across all platforms. Didn't care for the Red & Blue moniker, if you will, anyway. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19164-cbs-news-streaming/#findComment-286036 Share on other sites More sharing options...

carolinanews4 376 Posted April 9, 2024 Share Posted April 9, 2024 (edited) On 4/9/2024 at 4:05 PM, Action Newsroom said: CBS News Streaming Network will be rebranding as CBS News 24/7 and overhauling its live news hours, with new programming and expansions to America Decides (to an hour at 5pm) and The Daily Report with John Dickerson (to 90 minutes at 6pm). Starts 4/22. https://deadline.com/2024/04/cbs-news-streaming-overhaul-24-7-john-dickerson-live-1235879550/ This is part of why I believe CBS News lags behind its competitors. First, it is yet another rebrand in a seemingly endless string of rebrandings. Just this property alone has had three names in its short life. It launched in Nov. 2014 as "CBSN" before announcing in Sept. 2021 that the streamer would become simply "CBS News". Then in 2022, the Hollywood Reporter reported that "CBS News is rebooting its streaming service, overhauling its entire programming slate." Now, in 2024, comes another new name. CBS News, sans 60 Minutes and Sunday Morning which are frozen in time, appears to take a flavor-of-the-month approach to everything else. It lacks consistency and a true ethos of what its products are supposed to be. Even the programming on "CBS News 24/7" seems to lack full commitment. The channel's newscast of record, "The Daily Report with John Dickerson" may be expanding to 90 minutes but is still only airing Monday through Thursday. I recognize Fridays are slow news days and viewership is light, but I believe you demonstrate commitment to the product by showing up five days a week. CBS launched nearly five years before NBC's streaming product. Today, NBC News Now streams original day-and-date programming M-F from 5 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Its signature newscast, Top Story with Tom Llamas, airs M-F. ABC's ABC News Live also streams its signature program, ABCNL Prime with Linsey Davis, five nights a week. This past September, ABC announced an expansion of live programming on the channel that also launched in 2018. Live programming only gets added so long as there is revenue to support the expansion. You'd think with such a huge headstart that CBS would be the leader in live programming. But it is not. I believe it is because CBS is constantly toiling with reboots and rebranding.

DENDude 217 Posted June 19, 2024 Share Posted June 19, 2024 I think maybe CBS NEWS Local streams do better than the national stream? Almost all of there o&os have streams going, (maybe WFOR dosn't ??) I believe the local streams have a better mix of content than that of the national.

I agree with your points but I do support the name change as to distinguish the CBS News streaming site from the TV platform. At this point they might as well give in and call it "CBS News +" Lol. My old school mentality says we don't need more new streaming services, but I'll still take the product on those platforms over what we're given on cable news. How are these sites even doing ratings wise? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19164-cbs-news-streaming/#findComment-298148 Share on other sites More sharing options...
