Hmmm,is the news drought at CBS62 about to come to an end?

Wow! Maybe they could find that damn 10mm socket I can never find... lol

I think it debuts either January 9th, 16th, or 23rd. I’m learning towards January 23rd.

I also love how they forgot to mention that It will be at 6 and 11 pm on weekends, with Terell Bailey being the weekend anchor.

Long lost poster CircleWXYZ was right ten months later as Terell anchored the first weekend newscast tonight. He ended the newscast by saying, "We'll see you tomorrow at 6pm." Chiefs/Vikings will be on so maybe they will start having a brief local news update window during halftime of the 4:25 CBS NFL games as is the case when FOX 2 has a 4:25 game.

EDIT: Terell did anchor a two minute news update on the front end of the halftime break.

According to FTVLive, main anchor Jeff Skversky it out after just a year.

I gotta be honest. I've started to migrate away from watching this newscast. I just can't warm up to what I'll call The Garage Studio. Just feels like I'm watching a podcast. Maybe it's just me.

I agree Jeff wasn't great but wasn't bad, but I'd put him second there to only Shaina. There's a big gap between 1st and 2nd though.

I'm curious to learn more about "Insiders at the CBS O&O claim the station is a mess and is so bad many people have taken mental health leave"

Seriously?? You need a "mental health leave" just to do your damn job?? There have to be more specifics if it's that bad!

The only 2 reporters I see in the field are Andres, Gino and a couple of their VO photographers.

Indeed, the only reporter narrated story from the field on tonight's 6PM newscast came from Andres.

The newscast was actually led with a reasonably well produced story about the Hamas - Israeli war from a CBS national reporter (who did provide a live shot).

Most other news stories at 6PM tonight featured video footage with studio anchors reading copy.

I suspect the concept of MMJs with single county territories has been abandoned.

What channel 62 calls a Sports segment is bizarre to say the least. Zero mention of the MLB playoffs. No video from Dan Campbell's weekly press conference. No scores or highlights from NHL opening night.
Pitiful. What a pathetic operation. Does Ronnie Duncan have zero help?

They did this operation on the cheap. They are paying the frontline anchors well. But the reporters are cheap one man bands, and it shows. All you have to do is watch their newscasts to see why people need a mental health break. Its unwatchable. The mornings are a bright spot, as the two anchors are strong and carry the show imo.

It was a tease to their 90 minute Holiday Nights special.
