Social media reaction isn't going to get you a job in Los Angeles. He's done in market #2.
He maybe done in LA, But I am sure he’ll be able to find a job in another Top 10 market.
Local Management at KTLA will more than likely change after this as well.
The way all this transpired is textbook “How Not to handle Personnel Issues.”

Not a fan of the opening graphic or music. They’re both kind of a departure from the CBS streaming look debuted earlier in the year.
As for the show itself. Not sure why CBS executives thought this was a good move. The show is as dry as his personality. Bring back News Hour and give me Jericka Duncan.
Right, You would think CBS executives would want someone young and vibrant to go against Lindsey Davis and Tom Llamas at that hour.
Instead….,
Just goes to show CBS doesn’t have the leadership or decision makers needed to be competitive in today’s news business.
It’s almost as if they’ve conceded to being in 3rd place forever.

I mean, these particular talent opens aren’t going to be around for very long anyway, so this is much ado about nothing imo.
It’s just a matter of time before Brittany is named a Permanent Weekday Meteorologist.

Honestly it was better when it was the WGN Superstation.
Simulcast the WGN Morning News and 9pm news again. Run Blue Bloods and ITHOTN reruns during the day. I’m sure that’ll get them higher ratings than what they’re getting now.
Problem solved. Money & dignity saved.

Chuck and Sue were WNBC; and NYC Broadcast Legends.
Ever since that duo was broken up; WNBC hasn’t been the same.
Some say it’s Karma, But they just haven’t found the right anchor teams with that unmatched chemistry that Chuck, Sue, Len, Al Roker later (Janice Huff) had that made them #1.

NewsNation could’ve easily simulcasted WGN’s live coverage. WGN is one of the top news stations in the country, why not tap into that resource?
MSNBC and NBC news now utilized WMAQ (NBC5) effectively. ABC News Had WLS’ (ABC7) coverage. CBS had WBBM (CBS2)
Where was NN????
Granted it was July 4th & we realize that staffing numbers were low, but This story literally is in your backyard!! and you are still MIA as far as news coverage!
NN the writing is on the wall…

Sidebar: CNN’s “New Day” is in the dumps when it comes to ratings.
I wonder how much longer until changes are made.
-
No doubt the Networks saw the ratings for Thursday Night’s broadcast and decided to air Mondays hearing as well.
It’ll be interesting to see the ratings for tomorrow’s coverage given the fact that it will be during the morning & a Monday AM at that.
Maybe WNYW will decide to broadcast the hearings after Good Day NY

As mentioned in the original post, Fox is providing coverage of the hearings. They just aren’t providing full, uninterrupted coverage on FNC. They’ve opted to put the main coverage on Fox Business and distribute it to affiliates that want it. Given that FNC’s talking heads are usually on air during the time the hearings are scheduled, this isn’t really a surprise.
Furthermore, I wouldn’t be surprised if many Fox affiliates decide not to take the network’s feed and either A) provide their own coverage or B) show highlights on the late news. IIRC, WJZY ended up cutting from Fox News to NewsNation on 1/6 itself, given FNC’s subpar coverage of the actual event.
Many FOX Affiliates will probably be in regular programming; although I suspect affiliates such as WTTG in Washington, D.C. may just provide their own coverage of the event.

The revolving door continues at CBS 3.
That station is used as a pit stop for Anchors/Reporters headed to National or NY, LA, Chicago.
Not saying that’s the case with Lauren, but there are a lot of KYW alumni on National Networks.

DeMarco Morgan is out. Chose not to renew contract.
I can see that. He never looked happy while anchoring. His chemistry with his co anchor just wasn’t there.
Im sure he’ll land on his feet somewhere else soon.

I wish CNN would go back it’s Roots in Atlanta and back to the hard news format that made it a household name. When CNN moved majority of its shows to NY that was the beginning of the decline.
It’s probably wishful thinking, But I would love to hear Live from “The CNN World Headquarters in Atlanta”

Its very dark blue for an daytime newscast. This would more fly for anything 5-11 pm.
Again, WABC is good at news but their visual presentation has never been strong.
I’ve felt WABC’s visual on air presentation feels very medium market. They could learn a thing or two from their sister station WPVI in Philly about in house graphic creation.
KABC has the best on air visuals of any of the O&O’s Imo

Actually that was yesterday, 3/31. Today Joe Fryer was the host. Melvin announced rotating anchors until a permanent anchor is selected.
Give it to Kristen and or Peter and having the show based out of D.C. seems to be the easiest transition.
But who knows with the Jen Psaki news today she maybe the eventual replacement for Craig.

Robin Meade deserves more than HLN. Her bubbly personality would probably be better served on a top market local 7am morning show, if not on CNN which probably wants a more political AM newscast.
Robin would do well on a “Good Day LA” or KTLA Morning News format.
She would be great at Fox 5 In NY on “Good Day NY”

After 33 years, a few health scares in the last year or so, and a career of laughs, WRC (News4)'s Wendy Rieger announced her retirement today. She said her retirement was negotiated into her contract 2 years ago, so the health scares weren't the reason for her leave. Truly a unique 5PM news presence and a DMV institution like no other. Her career look-back and subsequent departure will be next Friday, on 12/17.
Wendy is definitely an institution in the DMV area. She will be sorely missed. But viewers will get one more week of laughs and personality from Wendy.
Next question who’s her replacement? Shawn Yancy? Eun Yang?
Im sure within the next year or two Doreen Gentzler will scale back and/or retire as well. So that will leave another opening on NBC4 weeknight newscasts.

I'll throw them a bone and argue that they're trying with Tony on the morning show... Gayle was off, he was in the center chair, and I stuck around for more than the Eye Opener!
Add to that Jerricka Duncan. The times I’ve watched her on CBS Mornings she’s really good. Definitely should be in the running if/when Gail decides to leave. She, Tony, & Nate work well together.
The reason Saturday Mornings on CBS does well is because of the team they have in place.

Wait… what?WCAU studios being in the headquarters of Comcast gives them easier access to the execs. Rockefeller Plaza is no longer the center of all things NBC; therefore the prominence of ‘CAU has risen. It is the 4th largest market (Philadelphia) so that shouldn’t be surprising.
Of course WNBC is the East Coast “Flagship” and KNBC is it’s West Coast Counterpart. But WCAU is definitely at the top of the NBC O&O’s food chain. The money poured into the station would definitely make it a contender for “flagship” lite.

Knowing how Fox operates they normally look to promote from their other O&Os ; so it’ll be interesting to see if they pick a younger male talent from within the station group to replace Lori on GDNY.
They really don’t have anyone in-house who can sit next to Rosanna.

Speculation not over. Where exactly are they going to fit her into that already jam-packed evening lineup? Most stations seem to be making cuts, this one just keeps adding.
Something tells me that someone is about to retire within the next year or two; or at the very least scale back their duties. Maybe Doreen is thinking of only doing the 6pm broadcast and relinquishing the 11pm show. In that case I could see Shawn being added at 11p.
Or
Pat & Shawn at 4p
Wendy and Jim at 5p
Leon and Doreen at 6p
Doreen and Jim at 11p
Most of WRC’s evening talent has been there 20-30+ years so it’s not out of the question that someone may retire soon.

As announced at the end of the 6pm news, meteorologist Melissa Magee will make her last report at WPVI later at 11 tonight. It was revealed that she will return to her hometown of Los Angeles to be closer with her family.
Will she being doing the weather at a station in LA?
-
She hadn’t even been at KPRC one year. I wonder if ratings were a factor.
Seems like she was given a raw deal. Maybe her co-anchor needed to be changed.

KYW is becoming WGCL’s big brother with the turnover rate.
It’s a shame for such a Distinguished station such as KYW. Hopefully the new leadership will turn the station around.

I remember back in 90s Carole Simpson would Anchor World News On the Weekends from Washington.
I think Each Network should have a least one Newscast originating from DC; there’s too
much News in that City to not have a Flagship Newscast.
