You know, I could say the same thing about WBTV in Charlotte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking more it's because it's Easter weekend and they want to give what few who are working/in-house at the O&Os a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technically A Director 164 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 A bit late to the party, but I just caught the start of the weekend news from KHOU and almost came out of my chair in shock. That's simply awesome. I wonder how they're able to produce/direct the national and local news at the same time? I assume they must have two separate control rooms since the big move?

SFTV 484 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 If we throw KPIX into the mix, I’d like to nominate Veronica De La Cruz If she wasn’t on leave, she would be good for representing KPIX since she’s done network level anchoring Early Today on NBC before going to KPIX. Second choice, I’d go with Allen Martin since he’s a good newsreader and to the point. Ken Bastida, don’t get me wrong, he is good too.

You can also make the case even if it's one time thing, it could be their audition tape in case either they have plans to take the next step or scouts could be ones searching for them in terms of potential offers.

Somebody didn't check with their editior or somebody didn't know that the W/K originates along the Mississippi River Quote CBS’s owned stations have helped out with anchoring and producing the weekend program, including WTVT Dallas and KCBS Los Angeles.

Kenneth Kissel 280 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I'm wondering when WTKR or KDKA will get the chance to anchor the CBS Weekend news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSSZNews 1046 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Yeah I'm a little puzzled on why they're not letting KDKA, arguably their strongest station in the O&O portfolio right now, or even WJZ a shot at this. For that matter, what's preventing them from doing the weekend news out of DC? Particularly on Sundays as Face the Nation still comes out of that studio?

SFTV 484 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) KPIX has been handling the National stream of CBSN for the last several weeks. One of the reporters announced on their Instagram that next week they will go back locally to CBSN Bay Area. Not sure if CBS is getting back to normal or if another O&O will be taking over the National Stream. Edited April 19, 2020 by SFTV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should maybe let one of their smallest affiliates give it a try? I'd be curious to see it out of, say, KXGN.

Whatever is going on at the Broadcast Center, it must be dire enough that the reopening is now being thought of in weeks (or months) rather than days. It might be precautionary to limit the exposure at the main Broadcast Center, since NYC is the epicenter of the outbreak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenneth Kissel 280 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) I called the CBS Washington bureau this afternoon and suggested several Affiliates to do CBS Weekend News Broadcasts next.
