Maybe if you were more concerned about the work that you do, then you are about posting gossip about people that isn’t true, CBS Detroit would be a better place to work. But instead all you want to do is spread lies about people, because that is the small egocentric individual that you are. Grow the ...

The GM who splits her time between Chicago & Detroit is apparently trashing the station to people inside Chicago.
She publicly makes negative comments about staffers.

Former sports anchor Ronnie Duncan is suing claiming discrimination. Stations is also facing a federal lawsuit from ex-reporter Ibrahim Samra. What a mess. Time to shutdown the newsroom side. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/entertainment/television/2024/12/31/ex-cbs-detroit-sports-anchor-claims ...

New owners of CBS could sell off the stations. That’s according to some reports apparently the new owners are only interested in the CBS network and sports division. Oliphant and Lyons are clueless to fixing a Detroit stations. They just smile and offer no real direction. The producers are the b ...

WDIV will keep on being the dominant station.
FOX 2 might start seeing a dip in the mornings.
WXYZ will maintain its struggle to move out of third place.
CBS Detroit will continue to flounder.

Good points. Sky dance could sell off a few low hanging stations to bring in money. I expect management changes and a lot of talent contracts are up in spring.

The news product and on air talent is still worst in the market.
The sports reporter Rachel Hopmyer is so bad.
Will be interesting to see what happens to the stations when new ownership takes control in March.

I am beginning to think that some like to complain just to complain. I get that CBS Detroit has issues, but some of the complains here are just crazy. This is why I think some of this is personal. I’m a photog there and I can vouch that it’s a bad situation. A big problem is some of the producers th ...

The set can wait - viewers don’t care about a set. They definitely need a stronger male for the afternoon and 6 PM shows. You could easily move Terrance Friday to anchor the weekends and report on the 11 PM during the weekday. The weekend anchors are so bad. They also need a total revamp of the t ...

The station’s dedication to sports is a joke.I’m a photog and during the Lions playoff games they used the two guys who produce the 6 and 630 shows to report and shoot the games.
What a joke. Was an insult to actual photogs and an embarrassment for the station.

Newsman123 has good points.
It’s everything.
Shaina Humphries stands out because the rest of the anchor lineup is so weak.
There are H*** issues with producers in that building.
And not one reporter is a standout.
The weather team is all over the place.
It’s a hot mess

Growing speculation that Zucker, who’s part of the financing team that bought Paramount / CBS will be tapped to lead CBS.
That could mean an entire shakeup across the news divisions

The producer situation is bad there. Not sure what can be done.

I currently work there. It is a rough place to work. I’ve been there since day one. There has been some crazy stuff go down. And the people that caused it are still there. Paul and Lisa lost the newsroom. couple months into it - the producers walked out of the newsroom and went into the conference r ...
