I had did a presentation on Lester Holt and a few months before the presentation I got a tour at CBS 2 from Rob Johnson and Pam Zekman gave me some details on Lester during his CBS 2 days.
FUN FACT: From 5:37 to 7:14, Both WBBM and WCLE have the same news opens, and Scott Chapin (WBBM) and Paul King (WCLE) say the anchor's, meteorologist's, and sportscaster's last names in their news opens. Other stations have used the same news opens as them, for example, WVNJ.
This is CBS 2 Chicago News at 10pm with Linda McLennan filling in for Tracy Townsend Mike Parker in for David Kerley Steve Baskerville with Weather and Tim Weigel on Sports. How about That?
The station currently known as WBBM-TV has had three separate stints as a sister company of Paramount Pictures. The first was 1940-49. In 1940, the Chicago division of Paramount's theater chain, Balaban and Katz, created the station as an experimental station, W9XBK. In 1946, it received its commercial license as WBKB-TV. When Paramount divested its theaters in 1949 as a result of a landmark Supreme Court decision, WBKB-TV was included as part of the spun off company. United Paramount Theaters purchased ABC in 1953, it opted to keep channel 7, now WLS-TV, and what became WBBM-TV was sold to CBS. 47 years later, Viacom, a former CBS subsidiary that acquired Paramount in 1994, acquired its former parent, reuniting WBBM-TV with its original owner. This lasted until the end of 2005, when Viacom became CBS Corporation and spun off Paramount's movie studio and most of the cable television assets as a new Viacom. In 2019, Viacom and CBS Corporation re-merged, forming ViacomCBS and once again reuniting WBBM-TV with its original owner.
The clip 1:45 to 2:14 was one of favs. The openings at 3:34 we’re breaking up. 4:28-5:00 Chicago’s WBBM-TV News Evening Edition was the best 7:13 and 8:00 Were 1994-1998 8:20-8:56 The opens we’re my favorites. 8:56 and 12:13 we’re 2004-07 14:22 and 15:40 we’re 2013-2016.

Wait a minute...is that Lester Holt
Lester was a DEI hire after the Harry Porterfield "fallout." Jesse Jackson held CBS/WBBM-TV hostage and the ratings have never returned.

WBBM-TV best CBS station ever :D
My father worked with Dick Marx for years. He was the trumpet player on here.
WBBM, the CBS affiliate in Chicago IL, is owned and operated by CBS Televisions Stations, a subsidiary of CBS Corporation.
My cbs affiliate used the WBBM Cbs 2 theme briefly in the late 90’s early 2000’s
KCBS here in LA has used this same theme for years.....
Every CBS owned station it seems uses the current news theme before it seems

RIP Jim Tilmon
I hope you all will reply to this who remembers Mike Adamle when he was with NBC???????!!!!!!
Hate to break it to you, but EVERYTHING from 13:00 to 14:18 was NEVER used on-air. Those short stingers were from an old demo of Enforcer.
I've seen those before. The designs are a dead ringer to those used in CBS's 2004-05 image campaign.
zbsx Correct but there was a TH-cam video of this collection so I'm guessing this maker had them and incorporated them.
In this clip 8:50 to 8:56, It was WBBM-TV'S CBS 2's Chicago News at 10pm Video Open From Late 2000.
yeah! we rock!
Bill Kurtis before he went to A&E.
You've got to love the shot at :59. Is that the Chicago police reporter (John Drummond?) lighting up?
The audio is all over the place, volume-wise.
WCRX-TV news open 20:54

What is the 1994-97 music used for the morning?
“Chicago’s #1 News” Smh every news station says this 😂
Also, pretty cool that the CBS 2 logo at 4:40 looks like a crown. Is this design intentional?
Only ABC 7 says that!
Ratings change
Windy City’s CBS O&O.
5:36 This is the point where CBS2 went nuts and lost all its viewers.
