The Inbox....

On Friday’s Inbox we shared an email that thought CBS was shunning the O&O’s by farming out their weekend newscasts to CBS affiliates that are not O&O’s.

The emailier thought it was a slap in the face to the O&O’s.

An employee at one of the CBS O&O’s responds with their take on the matter:

I think the quality local CBS stations are busy serving our audiences and don't really give a rip about spending our time and resources on doing the weekend national newscast.

What's the point of putting our main anchors on a national stage other than an ego boost for them?

We have somehow figured out how to continue providing all our shows - and CBS network still can't do their own newscasts?

I'd be mad if I were a correspondent.

I don't know why any of the CBS-owned stations should care who's anchoring the Saturday News across the network.
