Years ago, CBS owned WWJ in Detroit did a newscast, but it went away after it struggled to bring in viewers.

Now, two decades later, CBS is ready to give news a try again.

“The time has come for our Detroit employees and the communities served by CBS 62 to have a full-fledged news department that utilizes the latest advances in newsgathering and streaming technology and a team of multi-skilled journalists who will be embedded in neighborhoods across the market,'“ said CBS O&O boss Adrienne Roark.

They plan to launch news in the Summer of next year.

Sources at CBS tell FTVLive that CBS plans on using mostly MMJ’s and it is expected that the WWJ newsroom will be a smaller staff than the other station’s news departments in town.
