New CBS Los Angeles GM on His Ambitious Local Plans, and How KCBS/KCAL’s New AR/VR Studio Is Changing How They Deliver the News
New CBS Los Angeles/CBS Colorado regional GM Tim Wieland discusses his plan for more local programming, and how KCBS/KCAL will use a new AR/VR studio.
Meeting with reporters on Monday, Wieland said he’s pondering more kinds of in-house local productions beyond news (which already takes up nearly 100 hours of weekly programming between the two stations). “Let’s face it, local news has a track record of over the decades, of unveiling some pool of technology that doesn’t necessarily have tremendous value to the audience,” Wieland said. Mitchell also discussed the “CBS News California Investigates” initiative, which works with the network’s stations in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento.
