News operation

WCBS-TV housed one of the highest-rated news operations in New York from the mid-1960s until the early 1980s. Broadcast news pioneer Robert Trout did double duty as a CBS correspondent and as channel 2's main anchor for many years. Robert (Bob Trout ( October 15, 1909 - November 14, 2000) was an American broadcast news reporter best known for his radio work before and during In 1965, he left for a new assignment in Europe and was succeeded by Jim Jensen.

Harold James Jensen usually known as Jim Jensen ( November 13, 1926 &ndash October 16, 1999) was a longtime American Jensen had only come to WCBS-TV a year earlier, but was already well-known for his coverage of Robert F. Kennedy's 1964 campaign for the United States Senate.

Infotainment (a Portmanteau of information and entertainment refers to a general type of media broadcast program which provides a combination of current Like sister station WBBM-TV, which took a similar approach, it was one of the most respected local news operations in the country.

WCBS-TV surged past WNBC-TV into first place in the news ratings, and stayed there for most of the time until the mid-1980s. WCBS-TV's other well-known personalities during this era included anchors Dave Marash, Carol Martin, Rolland Smith, Michele Marsh and Vic Miles; meteorologists Dr. Frank Field and Irv "Mr. G." Gikofsky; reporters Meredith Vieira, Randall Pinkston, Tony Guida, John Stossel and Arnold Diaz; and sportscaster Warner Wolf.

Channel 2 first faced real competition after WABC-TV introduced Eyewitness News to New York. WABC-TV, channel 7 is the flagship station of the Walt Disney Company -owned American Broadcasting Company, located in New York City. Eyewitness News is a name used by local television newscasts widely used in different markets across the United States. For most of the 1970s, WCBS-TV went back and forth in first place with channel 7. For much of the early 1980s, New York's "Big Three" stations went back and forth in first place. During this time, three of the longest-tenured anchor teams in New York -- Jensen and Smith, WABC-TV's Roger Grimsby and Bill Beutel, and WNBC-TV's Chuck Scarborough and Sue Simmons -- went head-to-head with each other. Roger Grimsby ( September 23, 1928 &ndash June 23, 1995) was an American news anchor and Actor. Bill Beutel, born William Charles Beutel Jr ( December 12 1930 – March 18 2006) was an American Journalist. Charles "Chuck" Scarborough (born November 4, 1943) is an American veteran television news anchor Susan "Sue" Simmons (born May 27, 1943) has been the lead female news anchor at WNBC television in New York City since

In 1987, WABC-TV surged past WCBS-TV for the lead and has stayed in first more or less ever since, while channel 2's ratings went into rapid decline. One of management's more controversial responses was to take Jensen off the anchor desk in late 1994 and demote him to host of a Sunday morning public-affairs show, Sunday Edition. He also hosted a few episodes of the regular "Sports Update" show on Sunday nights at 11:30. At the time, Jensen had served as an anchor longer than anyone in New York television history (he has since been passed by WABC-TV's Beutel and WNBC's Scarborough). The move was roundly criticized by many in New York, especially since WCBS-TV had supported him after he went into drug rehabilitation in 1988. Drug rehabilitation (often drug rehab or just rehab) is an umbrella term for the processes of medical and/or psychotherapeutic treatment for dependency Another controversy involved an exchange between Jensen and co-anchor Bree Walker, whose fingers and toes are fused together (the condition is known as ectrodactyly). Bree Walker (born 1953 is a well-known television network News anchor (and later a Talk radio host she has appeared as a news anchor and/or reporter in San Ectrodactyly, commonly known as lobster claw syndrome   sometimes known as Karsch-Neugebauer syndrome, is a rare Congenital deformity of the hand where After Walker did a report about her experience with the condition, Jensen asked Walker, on the air, if her parents would have aborted her had they known she would have been born with the condition. Although Walker kept her composure on air, she was obviously disturbed by the question, and soon left the station. This incident took place shortly before Jensen's entry to drug rehabiliation. Station management came under more fire in 1995 when Jensen was forced to retire shortly after the Westinghouse Electric Corporation announced it was buying CBS. Founded in 1886 as Westinghouse Electric Company and later renamed Westinghouse Electric Corporation by George Westinghouse. By the end of 1995, channel 2 had crashed into last place for the first time in its history, and remained there for more than a decade.

On October 2, 1996, the station executed an unprecedented mass firing without any advance warning, citing the need to shake up its news operation. Events 1187 - Siege of Jerusalem: Saladin captures Jerusalem after 88 years of Crusader rule Year 1996 ( MCMXCVI) was a Leap year starting on Monday (link will display full 1996 Gregorian calendar) Seven people were fired: anchors John Johnson, Michele Marsh and Tony Guida; sports anchor Bernie Smilovitz; and reporters Reggie Harris, Roseanne Colletti, and Magee Hickey. John Johnson is an American television news reporter He had been a fixture in New York City television news for many years Reginald Allen Harris (born August 12, 1968 in Waynesboro Virginia) is a former middle-relief pitcher in Major League Baseball who Roseanne Colletti is a consumer reporter for WNBC (NBC 4 in New York City. Magee Hickey (b1956 is currently a morning reporter for WCBS-TV in New York City. [3] The firings came after the 6 p. m. newscast. Johnson and Marsh had anchored the 5:00 newscasts and signed off at 6:00 saying, "We'll see you at 11," but never got a chance to say goodbye on the air.

"The massacre," as it has come to be known, was part of a move to boost ratings, although it came at a time when CBS was under pressure to boost revenues, having been merged with Westinghouse. It was also part of a major reconstruction of the newscast, culminating in the May 1997 rebranding to News 2.

WCBS-TV news in the 2000s

In 2000, Joel Cheatwood, creator of the 7 News format at WSVN in Miami, came in as news director. Joel Cheatwood is an American Television executive best known for creating modern news formats which combine flashy presentation with substantive information to make WSVN, channel 7 is the Fox -affiliated Television station for South Florida, licensed to Miami. At his suggestion, the news department rebranded itself from News 2 to the CBS 2 Information Network, using "content partners" such as U.S. News & World Report and VH1. USNews & World Report is an influential weekly American Newsmagazine published in Washington D VH1 (known as VH-1 Video Hits One from 1985 to 1994 and VH1 Music First until 2003) is an American Cable television He also gave the newscasts more of a tabloid feel. Tabloid television is similar to Tabloid Newspapers Tabloid television newscasts usually incorporate flashy graphics While considerably watered down compared to Fox flagship WNYW and to Cheatwood's work at WSVN -- and even compared to WSVN's sister station, WHDH-TV in Boston -- it was much flashier than had previously been seen on New York's "Big Three" affiliates. It didn't work, and Cheatwood was gone by 2002 in favor of New York veteran news director Dianne Doctor. The station became simply CBS 2, and gradually phased out the tabloid elements. In its place, Doctor introduced a "news for the people" approach similar to that of her previous employer, WNBC.

After Doctor's arrival, channel 2 placed a revived emphasis on hard news, while attempting to revive some elements of its glory days. For instance, in 2003 Arnold Diaz rejoined the station to revive "Shame on You," an Emmy-winning series of investigative segments. He had previously worked at the station from 1973 to 1995. In December 2005, Diaz once again departed, this time leaving for WNYW. Another segment was "Eat at Your Own Risk," which highlighted unsafe conditions at New York-area restaurants. Ironically, the cafeteria at the CBS Broadcast Center was cited for violations by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The government of New York City is organized under the City Charter and provides for a "strong" mayor-council system. Violations included the presence of rats and roaches, as well as food temperature issues. [4][5][6].

Despite this and other attempts at fixes, the ratings did not significantly improve under Doctor's watch. Doctor was criticized for airing "Shame on You" and "Eat at Your Own Risk" segments ahead of major stories. She also came under fire when channel 2 led its 11 p. m. newscast of May 24, 2005 with a story and exclusive video of actor Burt Reynolds slapping a CBS producer, while rivals WABC-TV and WNBC-TV led with an important vote in the U.S. House on stem cell research.

The Daily News of New York City is the fifth most-widely circulated daily Newspaper in the United States with a daily circulation of 703137 Wolf was replaced by the much younger Chris Wragge, who was brought in from NBC affiliate KPRC-TV in Houston.
