CBS News Detroit has hired anchors Shaina Humphries and Rachelle Graham, meteorologist Ahmad Bajjey, and executive producer of community impact Amyre Makupson.

CBS News Detroit is the hyper-local streaming and broadcast news service that is being built from scratch and will be launched this fall by WWJ and WKBD the CBS-owned stations in Motown. The announcement was made today by Brian Watson, vice president & general manager and Paul Pytlowany, news director of CBS News Detroit.

 Humphries, Graham and Bajjey are the first anchors hired by CBS News Detroit, a 24/7 streaming service that will feature live local news coverage from 4:00 AM to 11:35 PM, Monday through Sunday, for a total of 137 hours per week. In addition, CBS 62 will broadcast live CBS News Detroit newscasts 40 hours per week in early morning, midday, early and late evenings.

 CBS News Detroit will continue to recruit and hire a staff of multi-skilled professionals. The reporting staff will consist of a diverse team of journalists who will be embedded full-time in communities across the Detroit area, as well as at the state capital in Lansing, Mich.

 The creation of CBS News Detroit marks the first time WWJ will have its own full-scale local news department since becoming a CBS Television Network-owned station in 1995.
