Should've just been CBS News Los Angeles and CBS News Los Angeles on KCAL. But this, this is a clusterf*ck.

I tried to keep an open mind about KCAL News CBS Los Angeles but *whew* CHILE, this is a mess. I truly hope it can be pulled off but, it's stressing lol.

It looks nice. Better than the hot mess that was KCAL CBS News Los Angeles. I would bet the rest of the shows on KCAL will be CBS News LA on KCAL or KCAL News Los Angeles.

It was a great sign-off.

I don't know, I think that's an alternative fact.

From what I have been reading as well, Michael Melling is a narcisist sociopath that loves to cut budgets and doesn't care about journalism at all, only about the spreadsheets. A very stupid move. But it was coming since Wendy Freeman was demoted from President, CTV News to VP News. Melling wanted to break up the pairing of Hwang and LaFlamme by "promoting" Rosa Hwang as the VP of News for CTV Toronto and CP24, which Ms. Hwang clearly did not want. Melling is another Rafael Lenin Lopez and will continue to inflict damage to CTV News.

That might be what NBC is preparing the stations for. Telemundo 49 in Tampa also got a new building as well, with all state of the art equipment and studios as well.

Telemundo 31 in Orlando moved into their new building recently, but they did a WBBM and moved the news department last to the new building. Here is the open and a partial view of the desk and video wall. It reminds me of a mix of KDKA and WSCV. Telemundo 31 uploaded a few pictures to their instagram as well. https://www.instagram.com/p/CewqU2POfAG/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Kris Habermehl returns to CBS 2. Jim Williams posted on FB a picture of both and the following "Can’t tell you how happy we are to welcome back Kris Habermehl to CBS Chicago. He’s a brilliant broadcaster and a great guy."

And adding to your point, if he doesn't change middle management (AND, EP mostly), the station won't be going anywhere fast. Scott Jones mentioned that KCBS/KCAL staffers were telling him that.

Cesar Conde and Rashida Jones are trying to make MSNBC a more "hard news" cable channel. We'll see how it resonates with the viewers.

They need to re-in vindicate Brien Kennedy and bring him back. He took a LOT of shit from UnFriend and DumbDunn. It's the least CBS can do.

WBBM has been using those L3s for a while, even before KDKA. At least since December 2019.

And most importantly, how to translate that into the weekday broadcast

They do look weird. Hopefully when they move buildings, the systems there are better and run flawlessly.

From the WABC Thread: Rob Nelson exits NewsNation.

Nothing in sight for WTMO and the new package.

Love the new look and the SAM theme fits it REALLY nice. Good use of it in Chicago.

Awesome to read that. CBS This Morning IS a good product. Congratulations to all the folks working in front and behind the scenes.

Any word on who Pam Chen is going to name as successor of Michelle Tuzee?

For some reason it reminds me of the WTVJ 2012 theme
