WWJ newscast will fail they aren't going to compete with WJBK, WXYZ, WDIV, WWJ will be the dog of Detroit and not have much in the ratings.
WOIO, WDJT and even WGCL were able to compete with their rivals. All (3) have achieve something and they were able to win certain newscast. Not all, but were able to have a fighting chance.
If CBS is serious they will invest and try something new and you never know, they might do well. Anything is possible in this era of tv.

Who do got in mind for some big names for the soon-to-be CBS News Detroit?
I say either get Fanchon Stinger who once worked at FOX 2 and yeah her situation was over a decade ago, or Rhonda Walker from Local 4. I also say Jeff Vaughn and yeah he in Sunny California, but he been on Ch 4&7 . Jeff Vaughn with either Rhonda or Fanchon could be the evening face. Or bring in Lucy Noland those just some names in the market.

Tuned in late - Where is MTP Daily?
It airs at 1PM EST.
47 minutes ago, jrogo said:Stephanie Rhule anchoring The 11th Hour tonight.
I finally decided who my first choice would be to take over The 11th Hour if I was running MSNBC, Kate Snow, she has a similar style, let’s guests tell the story, mellow presence and would do a damn good job. They could have her do Monday-Thursday so she could keep doing Nightly on Sundays. Just my opinion.
I’ve noticed that too, Garrett Hake does a great job hosting the hour, hopefully MTP Daily’s time is coming to an end.
You think Charles David Todd MTP Daily going to get the axe? Garrett Hake is a good reporter. Kate Snow that a good choice. There a lot of good people on the bench waiting to get a chance.

So happy to hear, and it about time. Believe it or not WWJ does well in prime time viewing & some day parts. Here hoping they can snag someone with a big name in the market. Also as for branding name why not WWJ News? WBZ & WJZ goes by that name? Hmmm.

Gray's first order of business after acquiring WGCL/WPCH (among the other Meredith stations) was to get a legendary local name, and Monica Pearson was it.
As for WSB? I think the recent death of their lead female anchor Jovita Moore (Don Farmer, Justin's dad who anchored alongside Monica in the '80s and '90s, died this past spring) in addition to the cost-cutting at Apollo is already hurting them, and that will be reflected in the ratings. Expect WAGA and WGCL to fight it out for #1, with WSB cutting their 6:00 news to a half-hour (so that Atlantans would be flipping between ABC World News Tonight, NBC Nightly News, and CBS Evening News at 6:30) and WSB Tonight becoming the Action News Nightbeat once again; in addition, I could see Richard Belcher finally hanging it up after nearly 50 years.
If it already happened in New Orleans (with WWL relinquishing their longtime #1 status to WVUE, now WGCL's sister station), it could here.
WSB not cutting that hour-long 6pm that bread and butter.

And they said WGCL and WPCH wasn't Grey's Flagship stations... This is looking like they are going to make a force in the ATL!
1 hour ago, tyrannical bastard said:Gray is certainly the new start that these stations (and all of the other Meredith stations) so desperately need. And after the decades of failure in Atlanta, Gray is truly making this their hometown flagship and a focal point for their presence in Atlanta. And by bringing Monica on board, it could be a way to finally take on WSB in the ratings and take advantage of the cost-cutting going on with Apollo and their gutting of Cox.
I'm shocked that CBS46 was able to snag Monica, because at 74 I would think she would have enjoyed her retirement, but reading Rodney Ho article. WSB-TV wouldn't do any specials-which I'm scratching my head.
Cox has to get their act together, because Apollo-is really hurting once a top broadcasting company. I truly hope Hearst would snag those Cox stations.
You have to give Gray credit for everything, because Gray is making moves, and everything that Gray is investing in. Cox should have done that along time ago. I just don't understand why Cox desperately wanted to get out of the media business. WSB, WFTV, and (when they did owned KTVU) were the 3 biggest revenue stations in the company chain.

From 1984 when it WTVN-TV before switching to WSYX- Channel 6 during it Action News era. a great newscast with two icons. Michelle Gailiun was at (WCMH) and Tom Ryan (WBNS) in the 70s before jumping over to 6!

I thought World News was in 2nd?
where you’ve been? It been #1 under Diane & Muir WNT, but it not the same WNT when Peter Jennings was on.
I wouldn’t be shocked if BW went over to CBS for EN, but how many from NBC go to CBS just to get kicked in the face? Katie Couric & Bryant Gumbel both didn’t move the needle.
I see Tom Llamas moving in at 11pm on MSNBC.

I find I can no longer watch them. It's the little comments and other stories pushing Sincrap's agenda. The mostly young untested talent. When I visit RI at least monthly, I have to watch another station for news or stream my local NBC flagship station. Too many watch WJAR out of habit, and its time they get a new habit.
Maybe the new habit could be WLNE ABC 6. Give em a chance..

More Houston TV news … 5p anchor Art Rascon is retiring from KTRK at the end of the year. His replacement will be … his son, Jacob Rascon. Jacob recently left KPRC, where he had been co-anchoring weekend mornings.
In one day in one market alot of folks leaving.
Art Rascon is retiring and his son Jacob will step in his dad shoes next year. Then others are leaving such as Marla Carter and the exit of Cory McGinnis.
Then over at KPRC the face of the station Dominique Sachse is leaving in October. This is a major news, because she been with the station
for a long time. WOW!
What going on at KTRK? I wonder what has Dominique wanting to leave?

I'm looking for some info and want to see if any diehard Philly newsies or anyone have some answers.
Going back to the days when KYW-3 was NBC and WCAU was CBS. I found a 1990 write up in The Philadelphia Inquirer. It was talking about
KYW-3 ratings down after a certain sweeps period. They had the numbers in there, and the 6pm news was a rating point behind WCAU. The 11pm
tied with WCAU.
What I want to know is with affiliated with NBC at that time, was KYW 3 ever competitive? Does anybody know if there were times with NBC
having some good programming helped KYW leaped to #2, or was it always dead-last? As for WCAU it was owned by CBS and I'm sure CBS
had to be happy with their performance vs. NY, LA, Chicago O&O were not doing so well.
Just wanted to know if anyone who knows Philly, have some stories or details about the market before the 1995 CBS/NBC switch.
Looking at some of the old KYW-3 videos it does seem like KYW-3 News was solid off course there are different eras. I see some like The News Tonight era.

Such an overkill with News on KSTP- They have the Twin Cities Live from 3-4PM-ish? Maybe they're moving it to KSTC 45?

I just read this. It is not WPTV, in fact the memo states WPTV facility will provide studio support if needed. The address stated is not the WPTV studio address. The memo specifically mentions the purchased media properties of iON (which was located separately in WPB), Newsy and Katz Networks. I suggest you re-read this.
my apologies

The News Sets of The 1990's
in Sets & Studios
Posted · Edited by Breaking News
Sinclair bought WSYX in 1996 not sure when they merged the buildings into each other. FOX 28 left their studios on Sunbury Rd and moved into WSYX's studios at 1261 Dublin Rd. The FOX set was in the same studio directly across from the two sets WSYX had at the time for their broadcast.
