kdex86 54 Posted February 8, 2024 Posted February 8, 2024 Isn't WBZ a CBS owned-and-operated station? Why would they air Saturday morning editions of "CBS Mornings" at 9 AM Eastern, when its larger-market siblings in NYC and Philadelphia (WCBS and KYW) air the program at 7 AM?

bostonmediaguy 124 Posted February 8, 2024 Posted February 8, 2024 WBZ's Saturday morning newscast pre-dates its switch to CBS in January 1995. They have delayed every iteration of CBS' Saturday morning news program since it launched in 1997 (8:00 AM). I believe they actually truncated their morning newscast to accommodate. It was recently pushed back an additional hour (9:00 AM) when the FCC relaxed its E/I programming requirements. In essence, as @Abraham J. Simpson stated, it works better for them. 4
