See BS: 'A totally new morning for CBS.'

CBS News prez David Rhodes, sounding like the little boy who cried wolf, on the latest incarnation of 'The Early Show.' NYDN
Show debuts Jan. 9.  Brian Stelter NYT
Specs here.

My favorite line in the CBS News press pimp: "For the first time in its stoic history, the CBS Broadcast Center will receive a facelift with the installation of new floor-to-ceiling windows on 57th Street."

My second favorite line: "The windows, a distinctive feature of the newsroom designed for the morning broadcast, will offer the public a first-of-its-kind, behind-the-scenes view of the teamwork and technology involved in broadcasting the news as it unfolds. "

  3. The hell with the curvy couch - Charlie needs a hospital bed and an oxygen tank.

  4. Charlie turns 70 in January.  Charlie used to be handsome.  Decades ago.  Late-stage alcoholism is quite evident.  How he'll maintain the pace of a 7a early a.m. show AND his nightly PBS show is a crapshoot given his alcoholism.

  7. I keep thinking how a group of professionals sat in a room and came up with this idea?
    I will admit to liking the concept of going longer on an interview--Imus does it as does Morning Joe---but I'm not too keen on this duet of King/Rose making it work.
