Re: Coverage of the MSU campus shooting
Here is a pretty good synopsis of how bad CBS was. They are on the freshman squad they to play varsity opponents. https://www.metrotimes.com/news/msu-shooting-shows-cbs-news-detroit-not-yet-ready-for-prime-time-32420449 Wow! That sucks. Mistakes obviously happen, but if it happens repeatedly it’s n...

Re: Coverage of the MSU campus shooting
Sounds like they did a decent job last night, but failure to be on-air this morning is a major fail. It all happened last night. Anything this morning is just a recap. No need to do morning coverage if there’s no live breaking news, especially since it all was resolved last night. They don’t have a...

Re: Dave LewAllen retiring in April
Davey Lew won’t be easily replaced. He anchors, reports, and hosts big events both on and off TV. He is well known in this market. Those aren’t roles that someone can just step in and fill instantly. And not that it matters to viewers or the people in this forum, but he’s a really good guy. He’ll be...

A working newsroom is not unique.CircleWXYZ wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 12:20 pmThe working newsroom is the concept that CBS wants. This is why it’s not wise to compare what they are doing to what other stations are doing. WWJ has a unique, yet effective formula.
How can anyone measure the efficacy of WWJ’s formula at this point?

Re: Weekend Evening News
Will Detroit ever get a weekend 5pm newscast? So many of the top markets have a weekend 5pm. Considering a lot of the time sports does go until 6pm for some of the year, but also a lot of the times shows that don’t matter are playing in the 5pm slot. Would they ever consider a 5pm weekend newscast ...

Re: Hmmm,is the news drought at CBS62 about to come to an end?
Wouldn't completely surprise me if they pull the plug before it ever launches. Don’t think that would happen but that would be the worst PR nightmare for CBS It would be a PR hiccup. In the end, if cutting their loses is the option that makes them the most money, then that’s what they’ll do regardl...

Re: Hmmm,is the news drought at CBS62 about to come to an end?
Are you really suggesting that local TV journalists should copy and paste stories from other local news outlets? If you've been hanging around Harry's old farm more than about 15 years or so, you should remember when the morning anchors would read almost verbatim articles from the different local n...

Re: Hmmm,is the news drought at CBS62 about to come to an end?
Are you going to just keep telling the same 5 stories over and over for 2.5 hours? National stories fill time. Not true. There was a time when staff from different parts of town would stop at 7-11 on the way in and pick up a local newspaper. Livonia Observer. Michigan Daily, Macomb Daily, Downriver...

Re: Fan Boy Custer
So Herm you think it’s OK to constantly attack my positions and not have anyone question yours? Yeah, OK… If you don’t want to be brought into conversations you jumped in to, feel free to keep opinions to yourself. Or don’t. Your choice. Disagreeing with you is not attacking your positions, it’s ju...

Oh, but my boy Matthew, that’s simply not the case… You see I have many people from all three stations reaching out to me to let me know about the goings on at 5, 12, and 25-66.

Re: Being cheap at Christmas
Funny story… The first WEYI Christmas party, I had to go on my lunch break. As soon as I get there, I go straight over to JB. As we’re exchanging holiday well wishes, I mention that I’m on my lunch break so I should probably grab some food. Without missing a beat, JB says… “Well shit, you should pro...

Re: Fan Boy Custer
That’s the difference between journalists and members of the tech crew. We have ethical standards of conduct that we are supposed to live up to. (Apparently WNEM doesn’t have these standards or Jayne allows David to violate them…). We are taught in journalism classes about avoiding even the appeara...

Re: Fan Boy Custer
I’m pretty sure most of the posters here who don’t have a problem with Custer posting selfies with President Biden, probably would have a big problem if he did that with former President Trump. The fact is the selfie should be off limits. If Custer was a truly independent reporter, he would have ta...
