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.

Main page of cbsnewslosangles has an interview with new KCAL NEWS MORNINGS co-anchor showing some new graphics and logos.
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.

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's fine with me but Channel 31 is the same Telemundo signal three times over to cover three different areas. Replace three low power signals with one full power signal across the whole market. If NBCUniversal went for this change, the FCC would so approve it in a heartbeat.
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.

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."

Congrats to Mike. Hope he rents. The life expectancy of a news director at KCBS isn't that long. As I have said in previous threads, it isn't about ratings, but ad dollars KCBS specifically, must be pulling decent ad revenue because we know the eyeballs aren't there. Despite having respected vets like Pat Harvey, Jim Hill and weathercaster KCBS can't move the needle. Ratings appear to be a bit better during primetime over on KCAL. I would like to see CBS pump a little more money into their west coast flagship to make them competitive a la WCBS.
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.

Highlights:
- In notes from Stewart to station employees, he said “after 20 amazing years in this industry, I’m looking forward to pursuing an exciting new endeavor! Soon to be disclosed.” Stewart, through a spokesman, declined an interview request.
- McMahon said Stewart will depart at the end of the year, at which time group department heads will oversee the station until a new leader can be found. She said that “finding the next president and GM of CBS Philadelphia is a priority and we will keep you informed as the process moves forward.”
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.

I think it's great. I don't think they'll be the #2 show on Saturdays from now on automatically, but if they keep up the pace and great content for a while, this'll be a cause for celebration.
And most importantly, how to translate that into the weekday broadcast

Why do their graphics look like that? the font is weird and transitions are lazy...looks ugly.
They do look weird. Hopefully when they move buildings, the systems there are better and run flawlessly.

It’s not related to the WCCO track.
It likely is from the newer stuff, even though it sounds like it’s from 2005...
For some reason it reminds me of the WTVJ 2012 theme

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