The morning show in the last place CBS is throwing in its highest studio of Times art which cost millions to build-after only four years while the surrounded network clashes to reduce costs, the post has learned.
“CBS mornings” co-deemed by Gayle King, Nate Burleson and Tony Dokupil-will return to her former home in CBS Broadcast Center in West 57th from Luxe Digs in 1515 Broadway, according to the source of the situation.
“It’s about saving money,” said the interior of the network. “This is another example of those who don’t compete. It’s turning in time.”
The morning show in the attempt posted a weekly all-week assessment last week since it was restored on September 20, 2021-drawing under 1.87 million general viewers, according to Nielsen.
The mass, which is planned for September, comes as the CBS News CEO Wendy McMahon lowers costs as part of a larger mandate in the Paramount Global Corporate Parent to reduce $ 500 million before his hoped with Skydance Media.
A source told The Post that “CBS Mornings” will share a smaller studio with “CBS Evening News”, which was recently adjusted after broadcasting returned to New York by DC after the Norah O’Donnell anchor.
McMahon’s work has been rumored to be in line after shell -shocked employees lose confidence in leading it, said another well -established source for The Post.
“The atmosphere in CBS News is one of the fear,” the source said. “No one opens their mouths because they are afraid to lose their job.”
CBS News refused to comment.
The Tiffany network had rented the Times Square space, which once waited for the long MTV “TRL” program, from Paramount Global, previously known as Viacbs.
Another source speculated that Paramount could rent the “CBS Mornings” studio at another tenant or that there is probably a broader strategy to reduce his real estate trail before the new owner enters.
Separation of the “Evening News” crew is presenting its challenges, despite recent updates in the gloomy studio such as a LED floor.
“The studio is much smaller. There is no room for armchairs when the morning showing the hosts of listing A,” one source said.
When the morning show moved in 2021, the newly appointed CBS News Neeraj CBS co-presidents Khelani and McMahon sought the skills of the studio storytelling storytelling in the press.
“The new studio in the heart of Times Square will bring us a wealth of new opportunities for high quality production, changing our appearance without changing our commitment to influential news in the morning,” he told newsststudio trade publication at the time. “
But the mass immediately attracted the anger of King and other staff because the windows overlooking the Square Times were covered – preventing viewers on the road not to be broadcasting, as the post reported earlier.
Instead, anchors sit in front of large LED screens that project a produced view of Times Square.
One thing that anchors are likely not to be lost about The Times Square Studio is that Paramount closes heat at night, leading to checks to reach a freezing set in the early hours of the morning.
Since the transition to 1515 Broadway, the network has passed a series of leadership breaks and changes, including Khemlani falling in 2023 and McMahon promoting in President and CEO.
Under its leadership, the network has prioritized the centralization of news sharing and relying on its local news stations for some of its reports in order to reduce costs.
But her decision to replace O’Donnell with John Dickerson and Maurice Duboise has so far been a disaster of ratings.
