As you say, it seems to be musical anchors chez CBS. The way the Evening News moved from NYC to DC seemingly for no other reason than that's where Norah wanted to live never sat well with me. Of course there were probably other factors at play, too, but the whole saga just stunk from start to finish.(15-02-2023, 01:04 AM)Kojak Wrote: Everything about that CBS intro sequence is awful. The constant cuts between footage, the TikTok style subtitles, there being a SOT on every headline… just ghastly. I’ll never complain about BBC headlines again!
And as for Norah O’Donnell’s presenting style… SO flowery. “Good evening and thank you for joining us as we begin a new week together.” Nah. None of that. Just ‘good evening’ will suffice, thanks.
From everything that leaks out to the press, CBS has an awful culture and it's constantly people trying to stab each other in the back and assume power. Every time that happens, they put their own spin (and anchor) on the Evening News.
Norah was about to be pushed out too - and rightly so - but it seems like talent have become wise to the turmoil and many have refused to take the job. So we're stuck with Norah and stupid cosmetic changes.
This week it's changing the headlines to be like the Eye Opener - their only original idea from the last decade.
