I know they are the new shop in town, but 5:30am start time is very 1999. It’s being built out incrementally; likely that you’ll see the start time pushed further in the coming weeks to 5am and 4:30am. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19386-cbs-news-detroit-launches/page/6/#findComment-283386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleWXYZ 180 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Talked to one of the main anchors yesterday and he said 6 am would start today. However, there wouldn’t be a full morning newscast for a few weeks. More than likely, weekends will debut first, then the 4:30 am and 5 am newscasts. 2 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19386-cbs-news-detroit-launches/page/6/#findComment-283394 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleWXYZ 180 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Locally, Sandra Ali made her debut today. Didn’t air until 6 am and second hour aired at 7 on the app. Execution was rough the first hour but was way better in the second. Morning newscasts are fairly new so that’s to be expected. Midday and evenings flow way better. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19386-cbs-news-detroit-launches/page/6/#findComment-284066 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’d seem weird to just launch a 6:00 p.m. newscast (that will be preempted by NCAA basketball tournament coverage on Sunday the 26th) and add the 11:00 later (especially since that’s not how it launched the weeknight editions of both broadcasts), so either the continued listing of syndicated SEAL Team reruns (Saturday) and Joel Osteen’s weekly ministry program (Sunday) in the weekend 11:00 slot is a misprint or WWJ somehow chose to stagger the weekend evening newscast launches.

They are still hiring for weekends. That’s why. 11pm will be in April, more than likely. From what I’ve been told, they wanted to slow down on adding new newscasts to give Detroiters a chance to know the new anchors and reporters. Also heard the ratings so far, are a lot better than expected. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19386-cbs-news-detroit-launches/page/6/#findComment-284419 Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another site the set was a topic of discussion. Have they talked about expanding the set. The topics have been how small it's etc. The station has the space because it inside WKBD studios from their time from then FOX/UPN. Just want to know what discussion have been had. Their newscast seems great and slow pacing. Less crime stories, so overall it does seem a well put together newscast. WWJ news certainly & hopefully nothing like WOIO or WGCL/WANF. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19386-cbs-news-detroit-launches/page/6/#findComment-284427 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleWXYZ 180 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) The station website shows the 9 am newscast as debuting on Monday, April 3rd. The Saturday 6 pm listing for this past Saturday was a mistake, as it was never mentioned by the station.

CircleWXYZ 180 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I won’t be shocked if the debut of the weekend newscasts happen in the summer. I feel the holdback is hiring a new meteorologist. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19386-cbs-news-detroit-launches/page/6/#findComment-284870 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgie56 3303 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) The 9am newscast is much different from the regular newscasts. It's much more conversational and doesn't focus much on hard news. The noon/4pm team of Terrance Friday and Rachelle Graham join morning anchors Kris Laudien and Sandra Ali.

abric 178 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I have been watching since the beginning in January and I have been very impressed. Despite a few errors here and there. I hope viewers in Detroit are starting to take notice.
