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

I dont know what you are all expecting. They are launching a streaming first newscast with a bunch of MMJ’s doing community based reports. CBS is investing in some staff and a set, but it aint gonna knock anyone’s socks off. This isn’t gonna be of the caliber of Local4. They aren’t doing the same thing as the legacy stations. They are probably waiting to finish sets etc.

I have it on good authority that it will be months until the launch, my hunch is not until after the New Year.

Long way to go until the newsroom and set will be completed, don't know the reason for the delay but it is still very much a construction site.

Well, I guess I'm not sure what I should be expecting, but if it's not significantly better than the 10PM show that's been on CW50 for the last year then it's not going to be worth their investment at all.

Local4 is not a very high bar to shoot for.

CBS Detroit/62 CBS should have hired Christy McDonald and instead they let her go to Local 4. That's a great hire for WDIV and a missed opportunity for CBS and their news team.

CBS Detroit is all hype, but no substance. Not worth waiting for!

And your uninformed criticism is based on what?

Not having anything substantive yet?

Looks like Jeff Skversky is on board as a news anchor. He comes from WPVI in Philly.

On their LinkedIn, it says later this fall. It also looks like their set is coming along nicely. This is all I’ll say.
