Section of Knickerbocker Avenue co-named for Knicks champion Jose Alvarado

"Section of Knickerbocker Avenue co-named for Knicks champion Jose Alvarado" is the kind of local story CBS New York does best: a stretch of a Brooklyn street, temporarily renamed Alvarado Avenue for a point guard who grew up in the borough. Alvarado, a Brooklyn native, made his name as a pesky defender with a habit of sneaking up on unsuspecting ball handlers, and the description calls him a Knicks champion.

It went up on a busy weekend for the Tri-State newsroom, one of fifteen uploads across the week. The others tell the city's Saturday in miniature. Teams hauled an airplane across the tarmac at Newark Liberty for a Special Olympics event. Vanessa Murdock forecast Sunday afternoon showers. Steve Overmyer and Andrew Ramos covered the Yankees, who opened their division series against the Rays in Tampa Bay without Aaron Judge on the roster. And the weekend crew followed two stabbings, one of an off-duty NYPD detective in the Bronx and a deadly one outside a bar in Jamaica, Queens.

The weather forecast drew the most viewers of the newest batch. Over the full week the channel gathered a little over five million views, the second most among the nine local stations in its group, though the pace on the latest day ran well below its usual one. Subscribers held steady at 1.2 million. Among its neighbors, FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth is having a busy stretch, and KTLA 5 gathered the most views over the week.
