CBS This Morning , 11 months later

Straight Forward Reviews CBS Morning Shows
 By Skyler
CBS This Morning     It's  about a year  since CBS  changed to their new morning show , "CBS This Morning " , I gave a review the first day it aired,  in which I gave it a high marking.  Now it's 11 months later, the almost 1 year mark, what are my thoughts as the show has settled in.  I still think that it's a good quality program for morning television , the formatting and content has not really changed since  , there was a host change with Norah O' Donnell taking Erica Hill's spot.  As compared to "Good Morning America" and "Today Show" ,the CBS approach has been more news and discussion  and less on  why Lindsey Lohan keeps getting arrested or how to make a cake. They still have your local weather person doing your local weather instead of a national weather person being wacky and using a low scale map , then toss over to your local station.
   Over all CBS has done a good job , fixing the problem the Early Show from 1999-2011 had trying out soften the other two national network shows, and built upon Early Show of 2011-2012 with more news. Giving viewers a different choice , which was needed.  CBS has always struggled in the Morning show world but I think this show gives them proper footing  The show hasn't got alot or press it's first year , probably because the "Today Show" story is so juicy not to cover ,but that maybe a good thing as long as CBS doesn't have exceptions of getting first  in 3 years ( It look GMA 16 years) , they will be good to go.
    In the morning the content on "This Morning" is much for rich and the news doesn't stop because the clock says 7:30AM.  and it's interviews are pretty good.  The hosts click very well together each bring a style and personality to the program, Norah O Donnell with her news background, Charlie Rose with his interview style, and Gayle King with her energetic and  good interview style.  It also shows the best of CBS' journalism.
    The ratings still have it in 3rd place but anything can happen , if "Good Morning America" now beats "The Today Show" then  CBS could move on up a few years time.

"CBS This Morning" airs on CBS Mondays-Saturdays  7-9AM ET ,taped-delayed to other time zones.

CNN morning change ?

Straight Forward   
Written By Skyler
  The New York Post 's page six has a report that CNN may be making changes in the morning slot.
With Erin Burnett , who just started her show  "OUTFRONT" last year and CNN currently has two morning shows . "Early Start" and "Starting Point" both programs started Earlier this year. Page Six says that incoming president Jeff Zucker may end up moving Burnett to the mornings.
  I wouldn't that's a good idea, both these programs are young and still need a chance to grow, plus over hauling things on day one is not a good idea.  It's also not right to Soledad O' Brien , who currently hosts from 8-10AMET (Starting Point). To make a good morning show , you need to build an audience to view , you can't build that  in  a year  it takes time for people to get used to a new morning habit . Erin Burnett has not had the best ratings but her show is a good fit in the evenings between  the  serious Wolf Blitzer and whatever Anderson Cooper is doing.
  It would also make me wonder what the president of CNN (the channel) would feel about his programming decisions being subverted?

[Opinion] 5 things I think CNN needs to do

Straight Forward  
written by Skyler
        Former NBC Universal Chief and Current EP for "Katie" , Jeff Zuker, has been announced as the new president of CNN-WorldWide. CNN has not had the best of ratings in the past couple years , it slipped from being 2nd place to 3rd place behind MSNBC. That very much concerns the network, and it wants to at least get back to 2nd behind the 10 year high rated Fox News Channel. To point , MSNBC moved up to 2nd by changing it's core. and instead of being an unbaised news channel it moved to being a home for liberal talk  and Joe Scarborough , with a few news programs squished inside at odd places , while Fox News Channel targets a more right leaning audience, usally between  6-9AMET, 4-6PMET,8-11PMET, on weekdays.  I don't think it would  be good for CNN to try to "out-liberal" MSNBC or "Out Conservative" Fox News  and so far they been trying to be the channel that focuses on news unbiased. During the elections they plainly said they were the only news channel to not pick a side. I also don't think they should go the route of their sister news channel HLN, which lives it's own paralleled  universe.
     1. There is more than politics.   CNN , during the election season covered it like there was nothing else as much as they could. CNN seems to have a love for political stories , that's probably why Wolf Blitzer is on for 3 hours (sometimes 2 hours or 4 hours depending on the year).  But there is a whole bunch of other news out there.  Maybe CNN should have a show focused on the west coast  , that's a large segment of the country that usually gets jipped.  Or get more news updates for the west coast use that live across the whole country thing to an advantage.  There's more than what D.C is doing. We also don't need to see every stump speech or rally, that's not news.
   2. Give me the world .   CNN has a great channel , for rest of the world called CNN International , it focuses  well... on the world. CNN has started , the 12PMET/9AMPT hour of CNN NEWSROOM , does that , I would love to hear more international stories not just about the middle-east  but the world the good , not just the bad. Give Americans something more to understand the world. CNN I has shows  about international business, travel, food, and issues, and I think that would a good thing to give the American audience, something the networks don't care about as much and use those CNN I resources they have.
 3.Don't Lean Forward. Like I said before ,CNN shouldn't go the routes of the other 2 channels, because it would not help it.  Be a  News Channel that a democrat, Republican, anyone else can trust  and sometimes be offended by. Be an honest channel , try to get the facts  and if they aren't facts don't use them . Better to be last on a  story and correct, than first and wrong and it's better that you don't have a horse in the race in politics and other stories you are covering.
4. Balance the News.  Make sure there is a good mixture of  Hard news topics and softer news topics we don't need  tons of time devoted to whatever celebrity says or does, just as much as we don't need to hear the same political nothingness for time on end.  Nothing can be "Breaking News" all day , that's not breaking any news if it's all day,it defeats the purpose. Seeing that yellow banner all day for the same story or everything you go back to that story has no sense.  15-16 live hours of news a day means you have time  do stories that other's don't do for an assortment of reasons.  
  5.Somethings are working ok.   CNN is not bad set up right now,  they have many good programs and hosts, my favorite being Erin Burnett and her program. I also think that it's good they don't cover car-chases , that's a policy that should stay and other channels should pick up that idea car chases are important to a national news. If someone lives in Dallas, why the heck would they need to know about a car-chase in LA? That's not going to affect their trip home, there are some local news stories that don't belong national. So it's good that CNN doesn't cover car-chases.
   I don't work in TV, or claim to be, I am person who watches the cable news and always has questions and think about what could be different.

Our Favorite Top 10 Christmas/Holiday specials

Christmas 
 By Sarah F Aa nd Skyler M for mychiller
  Finally, it's Christmas time  so  we can take a look at our top 10 favorite movies/ and tv specials for Christmas. First, off there are so many that could go in our list it was a hard process but we went with our collective favorites as you will see. These are also in no special order.

1. The Leprechaun's Christmas Gold
  This one may not be remembered by many off hand unless they see it, it was made back in  1981  it's  classic Rankin and Bass stop motion. It's about a sailor who digs up a tree and an old sea hag (that's the term people!)  who is evil comes to life again , She wants the leprechaun's gold  before Christmas.  It has aired on TV repeating alot , though it has been cut back on , but we say it's a really good special , it's also one where there's not really Santa.

2. A charlie Brown Christmas
  To be more correct , all of them , all counts as a favorite, first "A Charlie Brown Christmas" is  where Charlie Brown was tired of the commercialization of Christmas , this is in the 60's mind you.  He gets a skimpy tree instead of a flashy one ,and Linus tell us the what meaning of Christmas is.   "I want a Dog for Christmas Charlie Brown"  Has Linus and Lucy's little brother Rerun, really wants a dog and Snoopy's brother, Spike comes over from the dessert  he a very skinny dog with a cactus friend.

from Youtube
3. A year without a Santa Claus
    What would happen if Santa Claus took a year off?  Santa Claus wasn't feeling well so he decides to take a year off since nobody cares about Christmas anymore. This is the specail with the heat miser and the cold miser songs.  Which are just great.

 3.  Sabrina , The Teenage Witch (Ran on ABC from 1996-2000, and The WB 2000-2003) 
   A girl who finds out that she's half witch, while at the same time she is  a teenager who is now living with her Two aunts and a talking cat? What possibility?
                           
4. Alfred Hitchcock Presents  (Ran on CBS from 1955-1960,1962-1964, NBC 1960-1962, 1964-1965 )

2 Media Things for you to know for 7-16-2012

Media
By Skyler


1.  MSNBC.com is gone (for now) , On July 15th  1996, cable news channel, MSNBC was launched Mircosoft and NBC, so was their website, now on July 15th , 2012 Msnbc.com is gone. NBC has taken full control of the website and renamed it NBCNEWS.COM .  The 2 reasons I can factor why NBC NEWS did this , is A) they wanted full control of their web presence , and B) MSNBC TV has moved more to a left leaning opinion channel that they wanted to separate the MSNBC and NBC NEWS NAME, msnbc to get a new site in 2013.  
related link  : A question : Is NBC NEWS trying to distance itself from msnbc?


2. CNN  changes morning hosts. CNN's morning show "Early Start" , which started earlier this year , is changing co-host Ashleigh Banfield  with former ABC NEWS reporter ,John Berman. He joins Zoraida Sambolin as co-host.  "Early Start" airs on CNN Weekdays  5-7AMET. 2-4AM PT.  Banfield is moving to a daytime news position on CNN.

AND SO ..I heard this : NBC could be preparing to make Ann Curry Step down

NBC  MORNING SHOWS TV 
  By Skyler

   The NewYork Times is reporting  that NBC is preparing to replace Ann Curry on the "Today Show". Ms. Curry started as the co-host as replacement  for Meredith Vieira  last year , she has been on the Today show since the late 90's as a news desk anchor during the Couric-Lauer era (1997-2006) ,and the Lauer-Vieira era (2006-2011).   
  There could be an assortment of reasons one including, when GMA(Good Morning America) beat it a few times back in April and May.  
The other reason cities from the New York times story: 
“She got her dream job, and she doesn’t want to let it go,” one of the people said. But Ms. Curry has also expressed dissatisfaction with “Today,” where her journalistic curiosities sometimes clash with morning television realities. Accordingly, she may be moved into a foreign correspondent role, reflecting her strengths in reporting from disasters both man-made, like the ethnic killings in Darfur, and natural, like the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.
  The morning show arena, except for CBS and some cable shows , doesn't have a larger focus on news as much as lifestyle , celebrities, musical acts  they are saying as  challenge for Ms.Curry , who was  a foreign affairs reporter. That's if that is correct, then we have the other side saying that it was "dream job"  seen as passed over in 2006 when Katie Couric was leaving  , and  the job going to an "out-sider" Meredith Vieira.
   The idea is who would replace her , also comes  to mind, and when?  NBC ,which has broadcast rights to the Olympics  , and the Today Show will do as it normally does and move to the host city of the Olympics , this is year in London. With that starting in late July  time is almost up. (If this report is true). 
   Mr. Lauer has said that the ratings have put “Today” on notice. In early April, just before the win by “G.M.A.,” he renewed his contract at “Today,” putting to rest months of speculation about how badly the show would be damaged if he departed. Ms. Curry’s departure, similarly, could hurt “Today;” if viewers perceive that she was forced out, they may become alienated and literally turn it off as a result. 
  Yes , if it's seen as a push out that would badly hurt the "Today Show" , and people could leave to GMA, CBS This Morning, a cable station, or local news that's maybe running at the same time.  It also could hurt the person who replaces Curry.  Perceiving the show as the one that got rid of Ann Curry because they got beat by GMA a couple times.

Good Morning America Afternoon

TV Daytime ABC 
  ABC announced that daytime show "The Revolution" will be ending after it launched back in January as a replacement to "One Life to Live" the show was suffering with low ratings. To replace it a 3rd hour of "Good Morning America" will be taking the slot over the summer.  In the fall this will make room for Katie Couric's new show to take the slot .  The 3rd Hour of GMA will be produced by the same staff as the rest of GMA.
 Soap fans have something  happy about : "General Hosptial" will be renewed as well.
   Katie Couric's show will be airing on many ABC -owned -stations , as the show is syndicated.
So the General Hospital will be around for  a 50th birthday, and this is one of first years since 2005 where a soap has not been canceled.

Current Fires Olbermann



CURRENT TV  Olbermann
 By Skyler
 NewYork Times' Brian Stelter tweeted :


And Now Current Has confirmed it   in this letter
    We created Current to give voice to those Americans who refuse to rely on corporate-controlled media and are seeking an authentic progressive outlet. We are more committed to those goals today than ever before.
Current was also founded on the values of respect, openness, collegiality, and loyalty to our viewers. Unfortunately these values are no longer reflected in our relationship with Keith Olbermann and we have ended it.
We are moving ahead by honoring Current’s values. Current has a fundamental obligation to deliver news programming with a progressive perspective that our viewers can count on being available daily — especially now, during the presidential election campaign. Current exists because our audience desires the kind of perspective, insight and commentary that is not easily found elsewhere in this time of big media consolidation.
As we move toward this summer’s political conventions and the general election in the fall, Current is making significant new additions to our broadcasts. We have just debuted six hours of new programming each weekday with Bill Press (“Full Court Press” at 6 am ET/3 am PT) and Stephanie Miller (“Talking Liberally” at 9 am ET/6 pm PT).
We’re very excited to announce that beginning tonight, former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer will host “Viewpoint with Eliot Spitzer,” at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT. Eliot is a veteran public servant and an astute observer of the issues of the day. He has important opinions and insights and he relishes the kind of constructive discourse that our viewers will appreciate this election year. We are confident that our viewers will be able to count on Gov. Spitzer to deliver critical information on a daily basis.
All of these additions to Current’s lineup are aimed at achieving one simple goal — the goal that has always been central to Current’s mission: To tell stories no one else will tell, to speak truth to power, and to influence the conversation of democracy on behalf of those whose voices are too seldom heard. We, and everyone at Current, want to thank our viewers for their continued steadfast support.
Sincerely,
Al Gore & Joel Hyatt
Current’s Founders

Weather Channel makes a Another Line up change

THE WEATHER Channel Where's the Weather?
By Skyler
 This really goes in the category of  NBC Ruined the Weather Channel ,since the Weather Channel was bought in a consortium back in 2008 , they have made  changes to the channel including cutting back on LIVE weather "News" programs and adding reality programming.
This was in The Holywood Reporter   back in 2010.
NBC Uni posted a video interview with Peacock Productions executive Sharon Scott about the company's intentions for the network, which include reducing the amount of live weather coverage. Scott points out we have iPads now, so this whole covering weather on TV is just getting silly (try telling that to NBC's local news stations).
         Instead, live weather news will increasingly get folded down to a scroll during weather-themed reality programming. She compares the move to CNN and MSNBC, but it's also similar to how TV Guide Channel tackled their branding vs. growth problem. 
Since 2011, this has happened, they cut back "Weather Center " an evening weather news programming down to 3 1 hour backs at 7PMET, 10PMET, and 1AMET. In between that  they added reality shows, with a weather theme, if that.
 And more to come according to this. read here
Effectively today, The Weather Channel has cut back it's program "DayPlanner" which aried from 11AMET-5PMET, is being cut to 11AMET-2PMET , and  a new 1 hour block of "Weather Center Live" is airing from 4-5PMET. now every 3 hours from 4PMET-4AMET  you will have 4 live Weather news shows and  tons of reality shows.

Dear the Media.. Things aren't news

Dear the Media
 By Sarah F for mychiller
    February is over and once a gain the media wasted a month on stupid episodic things and everything is political issue. What was it the lack of primaries and debates?The media has issues of talking about Whitney Houston for  a week, they talked about contraception , they talked about  Rick Santorum how he was the front runner because he won 3 states, and not looking at how many delegates he has which at the time was less than Gingrich. They wasted time debating things that don't need to be debated for days on straight, Maybe  ,they hate good economic news or think the economy is better so they aren't focusing on it?   They were also beating the drum for war with Iran, maybe they have money for their war coverage budget now and forgot that the US was in 2 wars and has yet to pay that debt of.  


 By Sklyer 
     CBS Evening News has had a great  February it beat ABC World News with 25-52 yr  old demo   one week. I do think it's because the newscast is different from NBC's and ABC's that it''s doing more serious stories and less entertainment and light stories.  
       NBC did something stupid from the start in February , what did they do? They moved "Rock Center with Brian Williams" a weekly news magazine , from Monday nights at 10/9c to Wednesday Nights at 9/8c.  The stupid thing about that is the time slot. 9/8c on Wednesday is friecely packed, with top rated shows, "Modern Family ", "Happy Endings"on ABC and "American Idol" (which has been slipping) on FOX. So now in March they are moving it to 10/9c , where it will compete with lighter shows, though it could still get beat by "Revenge". And to think NBC is the fourth place network ,there's a reason for that.

Joshuaonline turning 6 years and why I started it

By Skyler
  Joshuaonline is Mychiller's TV and Media Blog , where share TV news and media news, with opinions. It launched in 2006 with not a major plan or a goal  that's the honesty of it . This site here has changed many times it did news ,  it had politics it was everywhere , the slogan was "Everything Here" infact. Then around 2008  I started sharing TV news here about the new TV seasons and shows coming up, and finally by 2010 the direction of the site really has changed.
    Our Slogan is "TV and Media Straight Forward" what that means is alot, it means that TV and Media news and opinion is shared in a straight forward way that opinions are saying directly what they mean, if there's something in the media we like we say it , something we don't we  say it. TV is interesting and changing , we've seen many soaps go off the air, we've seen a few TV seasons go by. We hope that you have been enjoying this blog for the 6 years it's been around. We are not a large and famous blog but we are here for people to read and enioy and think. Joshuaonline is the name of the site, even though it wasn't started by a person named Joshua it was started by me (Skyler).
    The media's job in the United States , atleast in the news part , is that they are supposed to inform the people and be a watchdog of government and consumers. Our goal is to make sure the media is being the watchdog not the lap dog. I would like to thankyou all for reading even if it was just the past week you found this site, the goal is to try hard at what we do and never waiver from that.

                                                                                            Thanks
PS:  JOL  turn 6 in April

[Open Letters] Thanks NEWSWEEK and CNN

Open Letters 
  By Skyler
  Dear  NEWSWEEK,
      Your February 13th week issue did the right thing in talking about what Christians go through in the Muslim world. It's been uncovered by the media in the past years. It's been open dissuctions on should a Muslim Community center  should it be built in  NewYork City  (close to ground zero). The United States , you have the First Amendment right to believe or not believe in what you want and not be persecuted  the government or others. Has this blinded the media? I can say maybe it has the media of the United States has been blinded and not been covering others being attacked for their beliefs. Thanks to NewsWeek magazine for covering this and I hope you do more of this.   (If you want to read this article your self  the link is right there on Feb 13 wording)
    Dear CNN,
      The Election coverage you have been doing has been great, I love how you have been devoting reporters and people to states the rest of the media has cut back on.  When last Tuesdays, Colorado, Missouri, and Minnesota went to vote, MSNBC ditched to having their regular shows on,and tape at 11PMET , when Colorado wasn't done.Though MSNBC's coverage wouldn't have been that good anyway.  FOX NEWS Channel ditched last week too. But CNN did a great job but ... beyond that like in Nevada, you in Colorado, Missouri , and Minnesota  had reporters showing us the caucuses and giving numbers that no one else had because you had them first. Thanks CNN and do more of this.
 
We may do more media open letters  soon , if you have an idea email us at mychiller @inbox.com , or tell us on google plus search for mychiller  , or on http://facebook.com/mychiller
