CBS2 HD LAUNCHES A NEW COMMUNITY AFFAIRS PROGRAM

“EYE ON NEW YORK” ON SUNDAY, MARCH 16

New York-- Beginning this Sunday, March 16, WCBS-TV will begin broadcasting a new 30-minute community affairs program called “Eye on New York”. This weekly broadcast will air on CBS2 at 6:30am every Sunday with topics including community events, health, politics, technology, education, and entertainment, and will also touch base on the most talked about news stories of the week. “Eye on New York” will also feature in-depth interviews with community leaders, notable New Yorkers and local news makers. The broadcast will have rotating hosts, depending on the topic at hand.

This week’s inaugural broadcast will be hosted by Jim Rosenfield and will focus on the astonishing rise and fall of soon-to-be former Governor Eliot Spitzer. The CBS2 political team along with political insiders will analyze the developments surrounding the scandal that rocked the Empire State and will also discuss what's next for Eliot Spitzer. “Eye on New York” will also shine a community spotlight on the people of New York and hear what they have to say about the disgraced governor and the effects that this scandal has had on the state he swore to serve.

WCBS-TV is part of CBS Television Stations, a division of CBS Corporation.

That's the worst part about this show (which will fail) -- it's a great idea, but the average viewer really isn't interested and those who would find it interesting aren't going to be up to watch it.

 

At least there's TiVo, which is how I imagine a majority of New Yorkers will catch this show.

You have to remember that it is a start' date=' they killed off their late morning Sunday political shows a couple years ago in one of their mismanagement shifts. This needs to be on after Face the Nation.[/quote']

Exactly my point
