Amra 130 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Weekend morning, to pass the hangovers from all the drinks. I see that Maurice DuBois days are counted, hell even Kate Sullivan too if what I think might happen. Also it's nice to see that he got a gig, he is nevertheless a great morning anchor and a funny guy too. Good for WCBS-TV, yet I still protest the Dumpster/Drag 11PM team.

NYNews 54 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Very interesting. WCBS should give Cindy back the weekend shift. I think Cindy will have more chemistry with Steve than Deborah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am protesting the 5pm and the 11pm newscast too. Anyway should I say bye, bye Maurice. His time is up. That morning team need to be shaked up. Kate lost that spark, the newscast is a drag.

brams22 0 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 i agree steve bartelstein is a good anchor.but channel 2 will have their hands full with him unless he`s changed his ways off the air.you can bet he`ll be on a short leash with them.

SuitSnob 19 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Oh my God...they are going to replace Dapper Maurice with Horribly Dressed Steve! Anyone else notice this pattern in the last year of WCBS always replacing a great dresser with a guy who does not dress as well. SERIOUSLY: (helpful chart) Jim Rosenfield>Chris Wragge Reid Lamberty>Don Dahler John Bolaris>Lonnie Quinn Maurice DuBois> Steve Bartlestein MEN OF WCBS-IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR JOB, DRESS DOWN!!!

showdown 0 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I like the WCBS morning team. I think the new ensemble is much different and upbeat than the one they had 3-years ago! Bottom line, the morning show numbers are up. And as long as they're up, that team will stay intact. The other shows however need some work. If you're gonna shake anything up, blow up the 5, 6 and 11 PM. They stink!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbs2idiots 21 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Why in the world they moving Mary Calvi to weekend mornings? Even though she would be a huge improvement over Deborah Garcia. So I guess Don Dahler will be anchoring solo or a new anchor will be announced soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYnewsFan 0 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Bartelstein needs to anchor with someone who has a personality and does not appear as a bore on air. Deborah Garcia is a snoozefest when she is anchoring. Pairing him up with Mary Calvi is a huge improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Houdini 0 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Hopefully he won't throw another hissy fit at the weatherman. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryinthesky9 0 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 He is being paired with Calvi because the two of them will be the new morning news team if they mesh and Steve proves himself. They'll have chemistry and will likely be the new morning team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuitSnob 19 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 SUIT PRONTO, MAURICE HAD HIS JACKET OPEN!!! HE IS FALLING DOWN WITH DAHLER! That is actually OK. If he wants to get to Dahler's level he will have to let a colony of pigeons with food poisoning dump all over his suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Houdini 0 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Steve didn't look too hot today without the toupee. :o He also got his panties all twisted when he said it was his guilty pleasure to watch the guys in tights on American Gladiators. He won't last long at this pace. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuitSnob 19 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Actually, I think he looks quite handsome with the shaved head...much better than with the Great Recession he usually has. They say the hair grows back thicker after the Chemo as well, so who knows what will happen? Now his suits and ties...that's another story... (Am I allowed to trash his wardrobe while he still has Cancer? Not sure...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertywcbs 0 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Anyone recognizing the CBS 2 of Dianne Doctor days coming back? My point: they have more anchors/wannabe anchors than they have room for. They lost Brendan because I think he did secretly want a higher roll at the station, and even a weekend anchor gig was too much for them to give him. Same reason they lost Andrea Stassou a couple years ago or whenever it was. They fired off three anchors a year and a half ago (they went by the names Jim Ryan, Shon Gables, and Mario Bosquez).... and now... after a deep shortage, they are back where they were. Didn't Don Dahler join the station for an eventual higher position? So is Steve. Let's see... but Chris and Kristine are improving ratings as they enter their 13th month of anchoring local news.... so they aren't going anywhere. So Maurice is basically gone. He did nothing at the station. Dunn demoted him to mornings... still no move. And now the one guy he lost to every morning works with him. Tension in the office? Kate, who I was very critical of her hiring, will be moved to weekends most likely, or they will try it, and she'll be gone. And who are the kidding? Now making Mary do all the weekend newscasts, like Elise will be doing next month, and like the weather talent has typically done... they didn't like Mary on weekdays... remember Kristine and Chris were soooo much better than her and Roz. So then Don will come in and likely replace Jim at this rate, but will Dana Tyler still be in that seat? And who really thinks Steve will give weekend mornings a boost? Was I supposed to have known he joined the station? And looks like everyone on this board who said the week after he was fired he would go to WCBS was right... if they approached him the day after he got fired. You know... that station is still such a disgrace. Approach him the day after he is fired... good job. Your anchor staff is too big... your payroll is too big... and yes you might be showing results now... but I would like to see you keep those results. Once WNBC gets its stuff together... they'll be back. But by then Dana, Jim, Maurice, and Kate will all be gone... and you'll have Lonnie and Chris and Kristine doing your lead program like you do now. It's pathetic. CBS 2 should work on a longterm solution to their problem rather than all of these temp fixes. I hope Chris gets eaten up by the network... he's on the Early Show/Sat Early Show enough... maybe Lonnie will too. Kristine can just get fired in another 2 years like everyone else. You get three years to make your mark at that station.. unless your name is Dana Tyler. Maurice is way past due with Jim right behind him. Oh look, they already have replacements for them. Chris expired too but he has a new job so he gets an extension. Kate and Kristine still haven't gotten to that point. That station is disgusting. Oh wait, this topic was about Steve. I'm sorry, I got carried away. Well I don't know what Steve can bring to the station other than his story about his cancer battle. I never watched him on Ch. 7, and if he's only on Saturday and Sunday mornings, I won't be watching him here either. He might be a good man, but his behavior at Ch. 7 was despicable and he does not deserve another job... especially being offered it hours after getting fired. He'll be gone from CBS 2 just like Roz and whoever else WCBS has taken from WABC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
