nycnewsjunkie 898 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) If they really are launching on KCAL tomorrow, you’d think they’d do a better job promoting it. I haven’t seen anything on their website that promotes a Dec. 5 launch (other than program guides), and I assume they aren’t airing promos on KCBS/KCAL. AFAIK, nothing promoting a specific launch date on social media or YouTube either. Maybe it’s me, but I don’t know if you have any hope of getting viewers for this thing if you aren’t even telling people when/where to watch it. Unless, of course, they aren’t launching tomorrow.

I don’t think they are going to launch this thing on Monday, unless they make a soft launch, maybe debuting the new KCAL set and going on with the new hirings, which is the most likely thing. No new graphics or “CBS News Los Angeles” until after the holidays or when CBS News Detroit launches (or maybe yes), which could be the moment to promote the new product and finally get KCAL to produce the other hours. Unless, as you say, it is postponed at the last minute and/or withholding it for the New Year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 2702 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) Well, despite schedules saying otherwise, the KCAL morning show ended up not launching today. It’s the regular 4:30-7am CBS 2 News This Morning. Edited December 5, 2022 by Georgie56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliverolang 34 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 If it is in January, just think that it would be around the 20th anniversary of the KCBS/KCAL merge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiveNews 283 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Scott over at FTV reports that Paul Deanno from WMAQ will be joining the KCAL Mornings team in early February. Late morning weather. Not sure if this means the launch is pushed until then. Good get for the duop. When everything is launched, it looks like there will no longer be anymore "KCAL 9 News." The station will be known as "KCAL News." https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2022/12/7/resurfacing-in-la Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTT 21 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I believe Kcal starts their morning news on Dec 12. I saw the listing on zap2it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And previous listings suggested December 5th. As the holidays approach, I think we can safely assume that the program will not fully debut until January, unless credible info suggests otherwise. A suggestion for all users- since the launch date as moved several times, and it's all led to needless speculation, I'd recommend that we only post dates that are officially announced by the station, though probably not from their online guide. Press releases and anchor postings, ONLY, please. Edited December 8, 2022 by 24994J 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briella 161 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) It's a shame Sheba Turk is coming to KCAL, but they got a good one. WWL continues to flounder. Edited December 8, 2022 by Briella 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 2702 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) The memo in the FTVLive Deanno story linked here said they’re conducting rehearsals on the new set for “the next several weeks”, so a January (or February) launch is more likely.

bogusabc7breakingnews 37 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) Just saw a promo on KCBS, then new KCAL Morning News debuts this Thursday, 1/5. TV listings seem to confirm this with the broadcast starting at 4am and CBS Mornings airing live at 4am on KCBS.

FiveNews 283 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Looking forward to the launch. Should keep KTLA on their toes during the 7a-11a block. GDLA is absolutely dreadful to watch (watching now due to Rose Parade being on KTLA today). Mornings in LA TV news should be a little more interesting now that there are more options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalItalian2 163 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) Starting Thursday 1/5, ALL CBS 2 news listings on my Spectrum guide now show KCAL News on CBS Los Angeles no matter the time of day.

Daybreak 263 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 The promotion on this newscast has been confusing. Will this also air on KCBS during the morning slot as well? Meaning will this be the only newscast for both KCBS and KCAL? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew 124 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 It will air 4a-11a on KCAL and will also air on KCBS 6a-7a only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a minute since we heard, but off of memory, Kalyna at 4, before shifting to traffic, Chris and Marci from 4:30 to 7, as they've been doing, and Rudabeh and Jamie have been confirmed to be from 7-10. Unclear what the roles are for the last hour. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
