CBS 2 Chicago

Is cbs news trying to ignite a race war and or riots with their daily ongoing reports on the chicago police dept just to boost their ratingd even after the federal government has been asked to investigate?

Still no CBS digital signal in Northwest Indiana.

NO SIGNAL. PBS has 4 digital channels. CBS = 0 you lose.

I’m not young — 42 — and originally from New York. I never watch Chicago TV news but I was looking in on a 95-​year-​old neighbor last week who was watching channel 2. I now understand why nobody under the age of 80 watches local news. It’s obsolete and underestimates its audience. Some guy named Jay Levine, who looked older than my neighbor despite obvious attempts at surgical camouflage, read with such self importance I switched to CNN when no one was looking. Not a mammoth step up, but decent enough for background chatter.

Let’s face it, Channel 2 hasn’t been THE Ten O’Clock News for a while now, but then again, save for Chicago Tonight, television journalism in Chicago isn’t as rigorous as it was in the Jacobson/​Kurtis days. Nonetheless, there are several reasons why you should tune into CBS 2 news every now and then:
Number One is investigative reporter Pam Zekman, a munchkin of an elderly woman with thinning hair who has been at Channel 2 since color came to television. The sharpness of Pam’s coordinated wardrobe is trumped only by the incisiveness of her reporting: she once simulated falling hardware from the ‘L’ structure by dropping a huge nail on a cantaloupe from 20 feet up.
Number Two: Channel 2’s salacious teasers and vapid reporting look splendid in 1080p. The station has taken a cue from crime television and each of their promos spots lure viewers to find out what happens with crystal clear video and dramatic narration. While many of CBS 2’s stories are ridiculous – I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen Dorothy Tucker do stories that involve a trip to Walgreen’s – you’ve got a front row seat and a crystal clear view of Chicago’s latest scams and deals.
Number Three: Walter Jacobson’s back. Walter offers his Perspective on Tuesday and Thursday nights, and he has yet to re-​master the teleprompter or offer any real insight into current events. At this point, Walter is more Andy Rooney than Mike Royko.
Number Four: Kristyn Hartmann. What planet is this woman from? Where did she learn to speak English with those remarkably unique inflections. It’s all very dramatic and she’s at her best during the post-​segment banter with Rob Johnson. With the recent departure of Anne State, there’s only one strangely hyper-​emotive female reporter. And this one is perfect.

Are they serious with this new Monsters in the Morning thing? Who wants to watch a bunch of old men argueing around a table in the morning? Give me the news, traffic and weather. You can even throw in sports if you want but this new show is more than I can handle in the morning. They should seriously fire whoever thought of this idea. I am guessing their ratings dropped!

I DO NOT WATCH THE NEWS BUT I DO CARE ABOUT CHICAGO AND THIS OVERSIZED TV ON THE SIDE OF BLOCK 37 SHOULD BE FIXED. IT IS HORRIBLE AND LOOKS NOTHING LIKE THE PLAN!!!
What news company needs a TV on the side of the building. It was supposed to be a band of news on the side of the building and we got a big TV. Chicago is not New York! We do not do crap like this. I vote we all boycott this until they fix it. Or maybe we should all watch so they can afford to finish the screen???

Word on the street from a friend in the TV industry is that CBS 2 thought the Digital conversion of 2009 would fix their weak broadcast signal. (Which never comes in no matter what time of day). Try try again!

The best news in town! They have the clearest picture, true 1080i HD, nothing else like it. There 10pm news stands above the rest, more interesting stories, not your traditional newscast.
