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

Hmm..interesting find on Vimeo, seems the local news drought COULD be at an end at CBS O&O WWJ TV
don't know how to do the URL of the site the video was on, its on vimeo .. but in essence, looks like CBSN DETROIT is about to be a reality and thus CBS62 NEWS as well

It will have only taken 489 days from the date of the original post, for the 62 news drought to finally come to an end.

Yeah Burleson missed 7 games due to that traffic accident and it was his last year in the NFL. He was already on the decline and was positioning himself for his post football career in media at that time.

I've seen no ads for CBS News Detroit so far during the NFL telecast.

I have discussed this with some. There is a possibility that they want to get this thing launched and get the bugs out first. These things always happen. When I was at 7 when we changed equipment especially these things would happen and that would be on top of starting a new show or using a new set for the first time. Again I state this as just a possibility. Wouldn't you rather make your unintentional mistakes in secret which leads to a smoothing out and then shout hey look what we're doing.

Is that actually working for anyone else? I don't get any audio, and the "play" icon stay in the middle of the video, even though the video is already playing.

EDIT - nevermind. Got it working now. Seems like it just took a while to get "active" after it all finally loaded.

CBS News Detroit Launching Tonight

This is a trainwreck.. I get it. Its the first run and everyone is nervous.

But they had months to rehearse. This should have been Emmy winning.

The newscast is riddled with technical mistakes, black holes, the pacing is slow.

The desk camera shot feels off center. Am I wrong? Something doesnt feel even.

The reporting is awful.

Most importantly, it feels like a traditional newscast. Nothing stands out. That was the point. Different.

Am I missing something?

I like the bland wall and empty chairs behind the sports anchor. Great look.

The extended forecast graphic has too much blue, and the LED screen on which it is presented has too much ambient light reflecting off it.

I hope they put it up somewhere so it can be viewed later... it sounds like a disaster worth viewing for the shortcomings alone!

They are not using a green screen for weather graphics, but the weather person stands in front of a monitor and you can see wires coming out of the back. The graphics of a monitor shot with a camera are somewhat blurry, and the contrast is badly adjusted and the whites are blown out. Embarrassing for a CBS owned station.

The revolutionary concept: the male news, sports, and weather anchors ARE NOT WEARING NECKTIES!

Worst of all, the show was boring.
