Then again KCBS was the first to debut this look so everything is still original. For KCAL's planned morning-news block they might just do something like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The program guide, it does not list the KCAL 9 morning show premiering on Monday. On the press release, it did say "fall", but it never stated a specific date.

bogusabc7breakingnews 37 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I hope they do a better job with the KCAL set than they did with the KCBS one. Newscasts on the KCBS set are distracting. The video wall behind the anchors reflects the monitors in front of them; when an anchor or reporter is doing a standup next to a monitor, you can see the teleprompter in the reflection; and you can always see the weather anchor messing around on the computer depending on the shot. It’s market 2, not a college newscast. It’s annoying and I hate watching cbsla from the KCBS set. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be a very soft opening, after the November book is done, though I guess that means little or nothing now. No doubt it won't happen until KCAL's new set is ready, and that might be a while away. KCBS's current set took three months to build in 2016.

CircleSeven 1749 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 B&C has stated that CBS News correspondent Jamie Yuccas will anchor the 7-10am portion of the new KCAL AM show. Still no word on a launch date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely speaks volumes as to how seriously CBS is taking this revamp; Yuccas is a bit of a rising star at CBS News and she'll be continuing as a west coast correspondent as well 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick 77 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) On 7/12/2022 at 11:16 AM, TVNewsLover said: Well this is stupid. While it may benefit KCAL, it’ll probably hurt KCBS. Who wants to watch 2 hours of national news and features at 4am and then almost an exact repeat at 7am? Would it not make more sense to simulcast the 4-7am local newscast on 2&9 instead? In the three months after this significant announcement, there has been not a word since about any specifics or even a launch date. All the releases refer to the "planned" news block "expected" to start "in the fall." The duopoly's Web site or social media pages offer no indication that such a thing is imminent. The only hire is Jamie Yuccas, who is not really a hire; she's already been working in the building for a long time and is evidently going to devote a few extra hours to KCAL while maintaining all her other CBS-platform duties. I know nothing about this, but I wouldn't expect anything for quite a while. Edited October 7, 2022 by Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCBS/KCAL doesn't have 3 choppers. If I'm not mistaken, they have Sky2 and Sky9. The third chopper is KTTVs SkyFOX. They have an agreement to share the video/live feed. SkyFOX flies in the morning for GDLA and the 2/9 choppers fly PM and share video with KTTV. Edited October 7, 2022 by FiveNews 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1749 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) So the press release states that Rudabeh will be paired with Jamie on the 7-10am portion. Kalyna will solo anchor the 4am half-hour, as well as traffic anchor throughout the show. And assuming they're keeping Marci & Chris on the 4:30-7 portion, who's going to anchor the 10am hour?

I guess Mike Rogers' "The Desk" assignment-editor segments will be a feature. I would think (and hope) that Amy Johnson will be a part of the block.

24994J 4763 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) From a month ago, and Smith is in the new role, even before the KCAL expansion debuts.

Georgie56 2696 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) Does anyone know if the KCAL morning newscast is premiering tomorrow? The TitanTV schedule on cbsla.com and TVPassport are showing two different things tomorrow morning.

FiveNews 283 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I live in SoCal. My Hulu Live TV guide doesn't have any update for KCAL 9 tomorrow morning, but does show KCBS as airing CBS Mornings from 4-6am and the 6am hour of whatever the new show will be called. The guide still shows it as CBS 2 News at 6am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyFighter 14 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 The program guide on the CBS LA website shows the title of the newscasts on channel 2 as “KCAL News at x on CBS Los Angeles” starting December 5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
