Newsgeeks - what do you think? I really like CBS This Morning and I absolutely love CBS Sunday Morning, but I don't know if this hybrid mash-up will work. I'm worried bringing the trumpet and the sun logo and the long form journalism to weekdays is going to "dilute the brand" of the Sunday Morning program. CBS Sunday Morning is a special program I look forward to each week, I just don't know how bringing it to every day of the week is going to work. What do you all think?
They already tried this, circa 1980.
It didn't work then either.

I don't like it. Why ruin Sunday morning. Come up with another logo or whatever for the rest of the week. I think with Trump gone people aren't as interested in the news like they were when he was in office. With Biden in office we know the Trumpers aren't watching the news.
I don' care if they want to change the format but leave Sunday morning alone.

Gayle King needs to go.
She’s a tyrant.
As long as she’s around, we’re not watching.

Agree, OP. Don’t like it. Will dilute the Sunday Morning program which I was barely watching after a disappointing transition to Jane Pauley (actually liked her but the show is not as good now). And CBS led by King is an absolute sham.
CBS Mornings will have it all circling the drain.

I'll continue to ignore the weekday show and just love Sunday Morning. It won't affect me at all.

I'd watch CBS Mornings if Tony Dokoupil would unbutton his shirt just one more button.

Do they still have the DJ? I don't watch until 8:00 a.m. and he has seemingly disappeared by that hour.

It is now unwatchable. With Anthony's departure and the new changes, it is awful. No counterbalance to Gayle King. She is obnoxious.

Tony D has been absent after testing positive for covid. I hope he is still working out to keep his muscles and sexy hair in tip top shape.

CBS is not content to just have THIS morning, now they must claim ALL the mornings??
Call it gatekeeping if you like, but I think it's offensive that they can take all the mornings from hardworking Americans like myself. Are we not allowed a single morning to ourselves?
It's a world gone mad. Best enjoy the world before CBS claims all the worlds, too.

This is a dumb idea. CBS Sunday Morning works because it has a slower, friendlier, and more thoughtful pace, and it brings you stories that are off the beaten path and more like magazine features. It's perfect for a Sunday morning and it's the equivalent of intellectual television church.
Nobody will tune in to that kind of vibe on a weekday. We've got shit to do.

The addition of Nate B. in conjunction with GAYle King has rendered this program unwatchable. I'm back at Gay Morning America.

I agree with you wholeheartedly, OP; leave "Sunday Morning" as a freestanding program with its iconic suns and trumpets.

R22, in my defense, I have it on while I'm getting ready for work in the morning. It breaks into local news with weather and traffic which is helpful. I cannot imagine sitting there each morning for hours at a time watching this shit.

I noticed that they had been using the Sunday Morning theme song (horns) during the week now... I don't like it. To me that tune is associated with a relaxing Sunday, not a frenetic workday.

What r26 said. If they were trying to make people feel like they do on a Sunday morning - on a weekday morning, it was a fail.
Also, when any corporation changes ANYthing, it’s because it’s more “inclusive” or “promoting diversity”, so I’m looking for that angle. They are loath to change anything for any other reason.
This was probably Gayle’s bright idea and it would have been racist to point out what a bad idea it is. It honestly could be that simple

Gayle was extra cunty to Tony the other morning.
She said, referring to a truck or something that got blown away in a tornado, “It takes a beating and keeps on ticking”.
Tony then corrected her and said, the saying is, “It takes a licking”
She cut him off and said I know what I said. I meant to say beating.
Whatta cunt.

CBS has been retooling and relaunching this show for almost my entire life. Just cancel the god-damned thing and bring back Captain Kangaroo.

Gayle King is like the Angela Channing of morning shows, except without the humor or intelligence. She bosses those pussybois around big time.

I just love that Vlad. She's been on a lot since at least one of the regulars seem to be gone for one reason or another. It's such a train wreck . Tony and Nate really do seem into each other. And Gayle is just waiting to retire and be with O.

R32, watch for more acrimony and report back here. It's only a matter of time before GAYle shows Tony the door. He will have to go back to the Miami area or wherever he's from.

CBS retools their morning show every 8-10 years. It's ridiculous at this point. Either stick with one title/formula or run game shows in that slot. You'll never be GMA or Today so get over it.

I watch NY1. As annoying as Jamie Stelter is, she’s not shoving black black black down my throat all morning. I like all the other people on the channel. It’s actually diverse without being obnoxious about it or seeming forced.
Okay, Cheryl Wills is a little overboard with it, but she’s not on very often.
