U.S. center (mainstream local news, with a network-level shift to the right)
CBS Boston is the local news brand of WBZ-TV, a CBS-owned station in Boston. It is owned by Paramount Skydance, now reportedly folded into a larger Skydance-led company. Its day-to-day coverage is mostly local and straight-news in style. The national CBS News operation it draws on has drawn criticism for a rightward shift and for being too accommodating toward the Trump administration.
Owned byOwned by the CBS Television Stations group, part of Paramount Skydance Corp. (controlled by David Ellison and Skydance). Search results say Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery closed on October 6, 2026, and the parent was to be renamed Skydance Corporation. I did not confirm this against a primary source.
