NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Just saw a video on YouTube. Apparently Jill Nicolini is back. Anyone know if she'll do traffic again in the mornings? Or will they keep Alex Denis on? Well Jill came back on Thursday, and has worked through Friday of last week (she did two entertainment stories at the tail end of the 5pm newscast). Alex did traffic on both Thursday & Friday. Who's on tomorrow, I guess we'll have to wait and see. Would certainly be funny if they kept Alex on traffic and made Jill the evening entertainment reporter or something. CBS 2 has a history of reassigning jobs to people when they come back from maternity leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 269 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Question: when Dana is out.. Why don't they use Dick and Alice to fill in at 6 rather than Maurice and Kristine.. Give Dick and Alice some exposure to CBS2 viewers (since optimum doesn't get 10/55) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give Dick and Alice some exposure to CBS2 viewers (since optimum doesn't get 10/55) Aren't Dick and Alice usually out on the street reporting for the 5 & 6? At least that's what I've noticed and I would assume after reporting for the 5 & 6 they come back to the studios to prepare for the 9 pm.

But I agree, if they have enough reporter staff available, they should have Alice & Dick fill in a couple of nights. On another note, Alex Denis was still doing traffic this morning.

ToriElectra 291 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I have Comcast/Xfinity out here in the woods of NW NJ, and we get it. I wonder why it isn't a "must-carry" yet, considering it's WCBS' duopoly partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsx3 17 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 it would seem that for some odd reason they're only streaming on weekdays.. Oh well, I guess I'll watch ABC or NBC instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNBC just recently started streaming their weekend newscasts a few weeks ago. However they no longer stream their weeknight 7 pm newscasts. I'm sure WCBS will stream their weekend newscasts eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Speaking about CBS 2, their 11pm newscast ended at 11:49 tonight... and their next show- which was a March madness special- started earlier than scheduled at 11:53 or something like that. I thought that was a little strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRolyPoly 1844 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I think it started later than scheduled. Didn't NCAA basketball run late causing the whole Sunday prime time lineup and news to start late? Yes. It started at 7:17 p.m., instead of 7:00 p.m. So WCBS had to start at 11:17 and finish by 11:47 p.m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if you've ever watched the 7pm newscast, it's rather boring and dull. I love the news but I just can not get my self to watch a whole WNBC 7pm newscast.

Think a mix of the 6 pm newscast with weekend Today in NY thrown into the mix (At least that's how I see it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Not for anything but Jill Nicolini's been back for a couple of weeks now and she's been doing evening entertainment segments. Alex still does traffic in the morning. Maybe the morning shift isn't compatitble for Jill anymore, but wouldn't surprise me if Jill lost her traffic job. I mean, Katie McGee lost it to Alex Denis since Katie went on vacation for over 2 weeks, and was demoted to evening entertainment reporter. Alex Denis lost her job to Jill when she was pregnant and was demoted to "morning social media reporter", and now it looks like Alex got her old traffic job back since Jill went on maternity leave. I figured if Jill was going to go back to traffic she would've went back by now (not that I have a problem with Alex, it's just that CBS 2 doesn't stay consistent). Also, they do traffic and weather together on the 2's now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooneyhillny 0 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Will WCBS recent newscasts be online on demand at CBSNewYork.com, along with WLNY 9pm newscasts too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianpr3 173 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 WTH is going on at WCBS?! this "reporter" Meg Baker who came from that circus that replaced the my 9 news did a hatchet story whipping up hysteria that commuter trains are going too fast. Secacus territory is 90 mph, She should have talked to an FRA certified Engineer not a civil engineer. This girl is like the 2nd coming of Marcia Kramer http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2015/05/18/cbs2-investigates-nj-transit-trains-found-going-far-faster-than-advised-speeds/.

Hell, if she reported that same $#!T on 'Chasing', it would deemed acceptable because no research is taken place there. Circus indeed.
