Was WGPR still carrying CBS This Morning when they switched to CBS?

Yes they were!

An odd schedule. They carried a lot of religious shows (including a post-scandal Robert Tilton), CBS This Morning, Santa Barbara, and Family Feud (at the low point of the Ray Combs era)

This would have been several weeks after a labor dispute between WGPR-TV news staffers (which unionized with the UAW) and station general manager George Mathews which resulted in the cancellation of their local newscasts. That might explain the "TBA" portions. By this point The New Dance Show was the only locally-produced weekday show left on the schedule.

BTW, yours truly and @Sammi Brie recently redid the Wikipedia article on WWJ-TV, including a lot on WGPR-TV:
