Came across this on Youtube and it's... interesting, to say the VERY least. Anybody have any clue as to what this could be about? I'm guessing COVID coverage, possibly on the CBSNs but this would be an absolute trip to see on-air. Has this been used at any time already?
I'm going to guess it's a contingency open to run Philly and Pittsburgh if KDKA has to shut down due to the virus now that Pittsburgh is slowly getting out of lockdown. Have to believe a similar open exists at KDKA in case of vice-versa.

Everyone's raises came through, so the company still has money.

Sad to see. Anyone know why TV stations would be hurting? I would think viewership should be up, not down.
Ratings could be up 10,000% across the board, but very few companies at any level are buying advertising right now.

Has anyone actually see a current WTSP open with the new logo? You'd think they would have changed it over by now.

Hubbard apparently made some pretty nasty cuts on the radio side today - anything being heard about the TV end?

Short sighted? That's the long game. They are switching to a pure-play content creation model because distribution is no longer lucrative.
It made sense for them to do it with their radio properties because there's little money to be made in radio anymore. Without live sports for a while, we're going to see really quick if the same is true for OTA TV.

And yet, CBS is looking to spin off their entire O&O television group. This is what the ViacomCBS merger was about.
That seems remarkably short sighted for CBS to do, but in the current climate - and especially if there's no football in the Fall - I could see it.
Guessing they think reverse comp is more lucrative, but, again, in the current climate, I wouldn't bank on it.
-
Yeah I'm a little puzzled on why they're not letting KDKA, arguably their strongest station in the O&O portfolio right now, or even WJZ a shot at this.
For that matter, what's preventing them from doing the weekend news out of DC? Particularly on Sundays as Face the Nation still comes out of that studio?

It's amazing to think all the money they spent on acquiring FOX could well be part of Disney's downfall.
If the implication is that ABC could eventually/quickly be up for sale, I can't think of literally anyone in a position right now to buy it--not even Sinclair.

I guess it won't be just the O&Os anymore. The first non-O&O right here.
I'm thinking more it's because it's Easter weekend and they want to give what few who are working/in-house at the O&Os a break.

Gray Television respectfully disagrees, in fact they have come out and essentially said no they're not going to do layoffs
I'm not entirely convinced the current ad market is going to back that promise up in a month. Political can only get you so far and that almost certainly won't ramp up again until late Summer - and that's assuming we're out of this by then.
"At the present time" is the key qualifier here.

I caught this during Dr. Phil today. Kinda resembles the CBSN pack a bit.
It's interesting but I'm willing to bet it's a promo pack--maybe exclusive to Dallas--that gets the marketing team by while talent is social distancing and WFH.

FBN has terminated Trish Regan after her comments that the coronavirus was an attempt to impeach the president. What a full from grace for her.
At the risk of sounding speculative, bank on Newsmax to almost certainly pick her up.

The question is....what is WNEP Newswatch 16 doing with porta-potties?
The same thing KUSA is doing with them - ensuring talent and photogs working in the field don't have to come inside to use the bathroom and potentially spread the coronavirus.Not a joke.
-
Some of these rollouts are easier to do on some platforms that others - depends on what you're working with, and where you're working right now. Some groups--and therefore some local stations--haven't instituted widespread WFH yet. But some have. If WTHR (and WBNS for that matter) are able to do it in this climate, more power to them. I'm not sure it's a top priority for most right now--either for those responsible for execution, or the news consumer.

6 ran a short promo before tonight’s 10pm on WPHL promoting the fact that they’re now the most watched 10pm newscast. Anybody have any info on how long this has been the case?
They've been running that promo since at least the end of last year.

Cross-posted from Discord: I've been told by a source that WTHR will launch the Tegna GFX/Music next Wednesday (3/25) at noon!
They're really going to change stuff out during a national emergency?
Ooooooook. -

They're on the sidewalk tonight, is the struggle that critical
I mean...they're not allowed in the building. What do you want them to do, another LA show?
I'm guessing there may be are labor reasons why CTM can go to the Ed Sullivan Theater and WCBS (or Last Week Tonight or whatever's still in the building) couldn't go to...say, the 60 Minutes building across the street. Or the Daily Show set which isn't far away from the Broadcast Center. Or what was the TRL space in Times Square. Honestly, I don't see a big reason why WCBS also couldn't also do the Sullivan theater unless they're really trying to adhere to this distancing--and if that's the reason, I can't totally blame them.

I would not expect further launches on the Scripps stations until this Coronavirus madness subsides, to be honest. Bigger fish to fry. Everyone's WFH. Hard to launch that kind of stuff when you're not near the tech.

Maybe this is the reason why CBS Sports HQ was being simulcast on CBS Sports Network.
It is exactly the reason - CBS Sports Network is in that building. HQ comes from Florida.

The tech bug hit CBS tonight - Evening News didn’t start on time. Loop of CBS promos in its place currently.
EDIT: CBSN is now running in place of the Evening News. Mid-segment crash in. Ohhhhhhhh boy.
