What's interesting is that CBS is going back to having News control the owned stations' local news shops--something they and NBC did back in the 50s and 60s, until the ABC-owned stations, which news shops weren't controlled by the news department, changed local news forever with the "Eyewitness News" format (and what was called disparagingly back then "happy talk"). Eventually, News let go of the local departments and CBS and NBC-owned stations continued to have soft ratings while ABC's stations continued to dominate in those markets (although "happy talk" per se at its worst eventually disappeared). Is CBS going to try to rebuild the local shops as serious news outlets like in the Cronkite days?
