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

Everybody knows Ahmad is good, but Rachelle is/was seriously underrated and didn’t deserved to get kicked by Sinclair. I’m very happy to see her getting back in the game.

[Realist]

She appears pretty easy on the eyes, too. Just sayin'.

Going from the last place station in Flint / Tri-Cities to a network O&O station in a top 15 market is a major upgrade.

Oh yes. She was a great way to wake up in the morning up in the Tri City market. She was a damn good anchor that SBC stupidly downsized. She recently married a cop.

Are we going to see any familiar, local faces pop up on 62 CBS that have been laid off or left broadcasting over the past few years? Ben Bailey, Christy McDonald, Kevin Deitz, Scott Lewis type of hires?

Maybe not.
What do the personnel announced so far have in common?

[Newsman123]

No. Those folks cost money. Aside from the main anchors, all reporters are gonna be low paid MMJ’s. They did make an early run at a former investigative reporter (now back in the market), but couldnt even come close to paying him.

CBS News Detroit Now on CW 50

CBS62 launch in August or September

[n8fnr]

So Detroit News Now will be on WKBD? Will they have two to three broadcasts a day or will they be on a subchannel full time?

And CBS 62 will also have a news broadcast? Will that be on a subchannel or what. Why would CBS local news be on two different stations?

I miss the days when 50 had a real newscast. Not the biggest budget but solid anchors and Jim Madaus doing weather. When 2 went FOX and started the 10PM news it slowly killed them.

The embedding approach involves giving geographical beats to reporters instead of sending them on various assignments across southeast Michigan....

"They're able to shoot, write, edit, report and package up their own pieces, instead of having to have several people involved in the creation of content. Everybody is going to be a utility player," said Watson.

Sounds like a broadcast version of "Patch"
