Here’s today’s announcement:

Sounds like a great start with the addition of Ahmad and Rachelle (formerly Spence) Graham — who were the morning anchors at 25-66.
It doesn’t sound like CBS 62 plans to hire a “Chief”.
It’s bigger problem will be the MMJ model. Detroit is a big market. It’s not Alpena. If the storytelling is significantly poorer than WXYZ, WDIV, and WJBK, you can expect this to be another failed experiment by the head honchos at the Tiffany Network.
Acceptable registrations in the queue through April 25 at 5:30p ET have now been activated. Enjoy! -M.W.

Re: Bajjey Gone
These days most people tune in for the weather more than the news. With Ahmad and Kylie's presentation (especially Ahmad), I think the station's newscasts will eventually do well.

Kylie is a joke. She was despised during her time at WNEM. She’s burned bridges at every station she’s been at. She’s not a team player and she’s not very good at forecasting, despite her “CBM” certification.
I agree with the importance of weather. But Detroit viewers aren’t going to change the channel for Ahmad if the rest of the product is minor league.

Minor league is right. Hiring talent from a bottom feeder station isn't showing you're coming out swinging.Under New Management wrote: ↑Mon Jul 11, 2022 11:37 pmKylie is a joke.

Good talent can come from anywhere, low ranked stations included. Seems to me he was smart for recognizing 25/66 for what it was and getting out.

Re: Bajjey Gone
Exactly. I really do think as word gets around, more people will tune to Ahmad for weather. I'm not a fan of the delivery from most of the meteorologists in Detroit. To me, Ahmad has a presence that not many outdo.
