civic110 10 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Don Dahler joined Dana Tyler for the news at 6...any thoughts? I didn't catch enough of it to really gauge his performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrfRptr 3 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 He actually did a report from the desk at 5 during the first block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbs2idiots 21 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I think he was great. I know he will be more relax later on. I smell something fishy could he be Jim Rosenfield replacement. Jim as been off a whole lot especially this summer which is very unusual. I think something is going on behind the scenes definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, he can even replace Chris, since their management is really unpredictable and even the anchors don't really know whats instore for themselves, lol. We'll just have to wait and see.

Kate and Maurice dont give me the thrill to get up and watch them in the morning. I say put Cindy Hsu and Don Dahler in the mornings and Noon. I think Cindy is better fit in the mornings than at 5. Give Chris a new partner a 5. Maybe bring in Linda Schmidt. Dana and Jim at 6 and 11. I would keep Elliot in the morning and noon. I thought about Elise in the evenings but there would be three African American on the 6 and 11 newscast. It would be better if there was a mixture so I guess I would keep the awful Lonnie in the evenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrfRptr 3 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Jim is probably taking vacation b/c his contract is soon to expire. Ya know the old saying, use the vacation days before Dec. 31 or you lose them--that's probably what he is doing. Dahler was okay, he seemed stiff and was touching his ear to his shoulder during reports. I'll give him a pass on the 1st, but it better be improved next time out. BTW, unrelated to Dahler... Did anybody see the taxi strike coverage on WCBS and the piece that had a promotion for NBC Nightly News on the taxi cab "screen?" They were showing the GPS map/TV screen--and next to the video was a promo for Nightly News with a big ole' picture of Brian Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why all the changes from 1992 to today and still NO RATINGS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNews 54 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 They even have a commercial welcoming him. Which leads me to believe that he will play a larger role at the station then just being the weekend anchor. Off topic: Just wondering does anyone have the video of Ernie welcoming Roz to WCBS? Or even the one with Jim and Maurice "making the swtich to CBS2" commercials? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
