\u00a0Brief History<\/h1>\n
CBS Television Stations, is part of the CBS Corporation, which is one of the \u201cbig four,\u201d television networks, whose competitors include ABC, NBC and FOX. A fairly new company, CBS Television Stations was born in May of 2000 after a merger between Viacom<\/a> and the CBS Corporation. The merger was originally called Viacom Television Stations Group, until 2006 when it was rebranded to it\u2019s current name after Viacom split into two public companies. [1]<\/a><\/p>\n
As of 2012 CBS Television Stations<\/a>\u00a0owns 28 stations, which are broken down 14 key stations for the CBS Television Network, 9 to the CW Television Network, and two independent stations.\u00a0Among its stations are WCBS-TV (New York), KCBS-TV and KCAL-TV (Los Angeles), WBBM-TV (Chicago), KYW-TV and WPSG-TV (Philadelphia), WBZ-TV and WSBK-TV (Boston), KPIX-TV and KBCW-TV (San Francisco), KTVT-TV and KTXA-TV (Dallas-Ft. Worth), WUPA-TV (Atlanta), WWJ-TV and WKBD-TV (Detroit), KSTW-TV (Seattle), WCCO-TV (Minneapolis), WTOG-TV (Tampa-St. Petersburg), WFOR-TV and WBFS-TV (Miami), KCNC-TV (Denver), KOVR-TV and KMAX-TV (Sacramento), KDKA-TV and WPCW-TV (Pittsburgh), WJZ-TV (Baltimore), WGNT (Norfolk), as well as satellite stations KCCO-TV (Alexandria, MN) and KCCW-TV (Walker, MN).<\/p>\n
Recent News<\/h1>\n
CBS Television Stations<\/a> have had a very quiet start of the year, with very little updates or news. The biggest announcement from CBS Television was their plan to acquire the independent New York Station WLNY-TV (which stands for We Love New York). On April 2nd<\/sup>, CBS Television Stations announced the closing acquisition of WLNY-TV and initial plans for operating the station, including the tri-state area\u2019s first one-hour 9:00 PM news program. The initial plans for operating the network include launching a weekday 7:00-9:00 AM and 9:00-10:00 PM local news programs early this summer, and all WLNY programming will be broadcasted in high definition. The 9:00 PM newscast will feature CBS 2 anchors Chris Wragge<\/a> and Dana Tyler<\/a>, weathercaster Lonnie Quinn<\/a> and sports anchor Otis Livingston<\/a> as well as WLNY\u2019s Richard Rose, who will report nightly from the CBS 2-WLNY news bureau on Long Island.<\/p>\n
The news of acquiring WLNY was first released in December of last year. Now that the acquisition is complete, the pairing of WLNY with WCBS-TV, the Flagship of CBS Television Network, gives CBS a duopoly as the nation\u2019s largest media market. CBS now has duopolies in 10 markets, including New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Dallas, San Francisco, Boston, Detroit, Miami, Sacramento and Pittsburgh.\u00a0 The CBS Television Stations group includes 29 stations, including 16 that are part of the CBS Television Network, eight affiliates of The CW Network, three independent stations and two MyNetworkTV affiliates.<\/p>\n
CBS Television Station\u2019s President Peter Dunn, announced that veteran New York local television executive Betty Ellen Berlamino, who previously spent 17 years with WPIX-TV, will be named Vice President and Station Manager of WLNY. [2]<\/a><\/p>\n
