GodfreyGR 652 Posted October 9, 2024 Share Posted October 9, 2024 Sharing because I think it's interesting- Most of the former CBS Radio stations have severed ties with their TV O&O Counterparts (KYW-AM, for example, partners with NBC's WCAU now), but WCCO-TV and Radio have always remained somewhat close. The latest evidence of that- WCCO-TV Chief Met Chris Shaffer is taking over weather duties at WCCO Radio in November as Paul Douglas (who Shaffer succeeded at WCCO-TV as well) called it quits earlier this year. https://www.audacy.com/wccoradio/news/local/meteorologist-chris-shaffer-new-part-of-wcco-radio-family 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21558-wcco-tvradio/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Block 1566 Posted October 10, 2024 Share Posted October 10, 2024 I don't think that's too crazy. Is it really "most" have severed ties? KCBS and KPIX still have their partnership, though it's not as close as it used to be. Literally – KCBS moved into their own facility and had to stop sharing KPIX's assignment desk. It's a little weird that KCBS political insider Phil Matier is the political insider for KGO-TV, though I think that happened before the sale. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21558-wcco-tvradio/#findComment-300959 Share on other sites More sharing options...
