CBS 2 Dropping 4 PM News for Dr. Phil

[heywhatsupglenn]

As expected, KCBS has announced they are dropping their 4 PM news for Dr. Phil which is moving over from NBC 4 which didn't renew it (Too costly, they say. Channel 4 is adding Martha Stewart at 3 and pushing Ellen DeGeneres to 4. Dumb move. Ratings killer.).

Now what will happen to Ann Martin and Harold Greene? They've been fighting the possibility of moving to sister KCAL 9 which hasn't announced if they are going to start a 4 PM news yet, as they did before merging the newsroom with CBS 2.

KCAL is adding The Tony Danza Show which currently airs overnights on ABC 7. Waste of time. The show is a dog.

KCBS started running promos for Dr. Phil's move to the Eye over the weekend. Despite the fact that I personally think Dr. Phil McGraw is pretty useless, he gets ratings, and it's maybe the boost and the kick in the tail that KCBS needs in late afternoons and early evenings.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by ShawnHill on 07/18/05 11:15 PM.</FONT></P>
