On November 8, 1932, W2XAB broadcast the first television coverage of presidential election returns. The station went on the air at 2:30 p.m. on July 1, one hour after rival WNBT (channel 1, formerly W2XBS), making it the second authorized fully commercial television station in the United States. On June 1, 2005, Jim Rosenfield rejoined the station to anchor the 5 and 11 p.m. newscasts with Roz Abrams, who joined channel 2 the previous year after an 18-year run at WABC-TV. It seems the whole family has a love for the modern lifestyle.

The station also aired occasional Jets games when they played at home to an NFC team from 1970 to 1993. "The Origins Of Television News In America" by Mike Conway. In 2000, Joel Cheatwood, creator of the 7 News format at WSVN in Miami, was appointed as the station's news director. The move was roundly criticized by many in New York, especially since WCBS-TV had supported him after he went into drug rehabilitation in 1988. The Kalehoff-produced themes were replaced with the John Hegner-produced "News in Focus" which sister KCBS had used starting in 1997 (and had replaced just days before WCBS adopted the package).

Doctor reportedly did not agree with the new plans, and opted to leave. By the end of 1995, Channel 2 had crashed into last place for the first time in its history while WNBC surged to a strong second place – a pecking order that would remain in place for eleven years. For instance, in 2003 Arnold Diaz rejoined the station to revive "Shame on You", an Emmy Award-winning series of investigative segments.

DuBois has since switched to anchoring the weeknight 5 and 11 p.m. newscasts with Johnson (with Wragge moving to The Early Show; he later returned to anchor WCBS's 6 p.m. weekday broadcast with Dana Tyler) and is now partnered with Calvi weekday mornings and at noon. It was also part of a major reconstruction of the newscast, culminating in the May 1997 rebranding to News 2; 2 months prior, Warner Wolf had returned to the station, having left in 1992 for WUSA-TV, the CBS affiliate in Washington. For much of the early 1980s, New York's "Big Three" stations took turns in the top spot. and was ridiculed on the popular Opie and Anthony radio show. WCBS-TV discontinued regular programming on its analog signal, over VHF channel 2, at 2 p.m. on June 12, 2009, as part of the federally mandated transition from analog to digital television. When the two stations broadcast a statewide office debate, such as for Governor or United States Senate, they will pool resources and have anchors or reporters from both stations participate in the debate. The graphics and logo mainly became blue and silver, with that color motif remaining to this day (albeit with the addition of gold) with successive graphics packages, including the last several which have been shared with most of the other stations in the CBS O&O group. Vieira later moved to NBC where she co-hosted the morning show Today until leaving in 2011 and being replaced with Ann Curry.

Janelle Burrell and Derricke Dennis were married Friday at the Liberty House, an events space in Liberty State Park in Jersey City. Walker kept her composure on air but soon left the station.[22]. In its place, Doctor introduced a "news for the people" approach similar to that of her previous employer, WNBC. WCBS-TV presently broadcasts 33 hours, 5 minutes of locally produced newscasts each week (with 5 hours, 5 minutes each weekday; 3 hours, 5 minutes on Saturdays and 4 hours, 35 minutes on Sundays). In the February 2011 Nielsen sweeps period, WCBS-TV's 11 p.m. newscast unseated WABC-TV for first place in total households in that timeslot.

Its first broadcast featured New York Mayor Jimmy Walker, Kate Smith, and George Gershwin. Jensen had only come to WCBS-TV a year earlier (he had been at WBZ-TV in Boston), but was already well known for his coverage of Robert F. Kennedy's 1964 campaign for the United States Senate. From 1956 until 1993, WCBS-TV carried most New York Giants games through the network's coverage of the National Football League. This did not work either, so this approach was junked, in favor of a more "traditional" newscast. CBS lost the rights to the National Football Conference (NFC) to Fox in 1994, resulting in Giants games moving to WNYW; currently, Giants preseason games are carried by NBC owned-and-operated station WNBC (with WWOR-TV being served as an overflow station if the Summer Olympics conflicts the preseason schedule). WLNY suspended its own news operations the previous day[12] and began airing WCBS-TV produced newscasts on July 2, 2012. There is also a "LoHud Report" edition of "At Your Desk", operated by WCBS-TV and LoHud.com, the website for The Journal News, a Gannett Company-owned newspaper covering the lower Hudson Valley. On June 25, 2007, Wragge and Johnson added the 11 p.m. newscast to their duties, trading places with Dana Tyler and Jim Rosenfield on the noon program; Tyler and Rosenfield continued to co-anchor the 6 p.m. newscast.

When Pearl Harbor was bombed on December 7, 1941, WCBW (which was usually off the air on Sunday to give the engineers a day off), took to the air at 8:45 p.m. that Sunday with an extensive special report. Former sports director and anchor Chris Wragge became co-anchor of both programs, along with newly hired Kristine Johnson; both replaced Roz Abrams and Mary Calvi on those newscasts; Abrams' contract was allowed to lapse, and Calvi was reassigned to weekends as the sole evening anchor. Engineer Bill Lodge[3] devised the first synchronized sound wave for a television station in 1932, enabling W2XAB to broadcast picture and sound on a single shortwave channel instead of the two previously needed. "Live Doppler 2 Million" was the punch line of a joke on an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!

On May 3, 1948, Douglas Edwards began anchoring CBS Television News, a regular 15-minute nightly newscast on the rudimentary CBS network, including WCBS-TV. The "massacre," as it has come to be known, was part of a move enacted by then-news director Bill Carey to boost ratings, although it came at a time when CBS was under pressure to boost revenues, having just merged with Westinghouse. On March 12 and 13, 2020, WCBS-TV's evening newscasts were produced by Los Angeles sister station KCBS-TV, and its morning newscasts originated from KPIX-TV in San Francisco, after the CBS Broadcast Center was closed for disinfection due to two employees tested positive for the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), with weathercasts being originated from the weather department's mobile broadcast unit.
