Same with KYW/CBS3.

I'm just surprised that the guy over at the Changing Newscast blog didn't catch this one. However, I'm sure it will be reported as "First on the Blog" despite it already being known (as other things have).

No to Pat & Gus. If Shiba does leave, I'm guessing Kerry Barret figures into their plans somehow, whether she takes over for Shiba or there is some other domino effect.

I can't help but think this pertains to WFLD: http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/2/3/someones-in-big-trouble

Looks like "Matter of Fact" moves to midnight, bumping "Inside Edition Weekend" to 4:30am Sunday Morning (in turn bumping paid programming to 4am, which apparently bumps "Open House" off the schedule).

Keith was in for Jim at 4pm today. But guess who filled in for Jim at 6pm? Jim!

Tonight's question: why do we yawn? [insert yawning emoji]

So if it's Jim, and they are auditioning people, does that leave Erika as part of a 3-anchor format, moved to another time, out the door?

Nicole was the weekend morning anchor. She was just filling in once Ukee got promoted to nights.

I didn't say that, I just pointed that out in addition to a bunch of other things, like the fact that other items are months old in that same article. It was probably the formal announcement that he is part of the rotation. FTV Live is more of a gossip and rumor site (many of which turn out to be true).

You forgot staying put. They could go with two female anchors.

SMH. See the OUT AND ABOUT thread. Note that that appears like a press release, some of the other items are almost six months old, the word "a" is used instead of "the", and the response to rkolsen's tweet does not give us anything conclusive, and no other outlet has reported that he is "the" Saturday night anchor.

They couldn't agree to terms of a new contract. Pat Ciarrochi and Carol Erickson recently left. CBS3 just lost quite a few good reporters in the past year who would've been good anchor material (Matt Rivers, Todd Quinones, Steve Patterson).

I'm not sure I'd read too much into that. How else would he respond?: "Yes, thank you very much Ryan! FYI I am only part of the rotation of Saturday night anchors." Other things mentioned in that press release on FTVLive.com: *Stephanie Abrams was named co-anchor of AMHQ. This actually happened on November 8 (and was announced earlier). *Nic Roberston named CNN International Diplomatic Editor. A simple google search will show you this happened back in September 2015. *Kala Rama named WPIX weekend anchor. This actually happened back in December. There are a bunch more, and some of them happened earlier this month while others happened last fall. I think they were just stating what was announced back in November, that he is part of the rotation, hence the "a" instead of a "the" in the press release. Also, when Kate was announced as the Sunday anchor, many more outlets reported this, not just FTVLive.

Don't get too excited (I know you're high on JDB). It says he's been named "a Saturday evening anchor", not as "the Saturday evening anchor". Also, this just looks like a mass press release by the talent agency representing him as there is other info that is months old in there.

They're better off auditioning Tracy for the 6pm & 10pm and pairing her with Greg Argos or some other male hire. Ukee & Jessica could do 5pm & 11pm. They can fill the morning co-anchor position with a male and still have the lighter material (see John Muller WPIX when he did mornings or Neil Orne WKRN). A bit ironic as CBS This Morning is complete opposite.

Jim Donovan co-anchoring with Erika at noon. Let the weather chaos begin!

Tracy and Vai co-anchoring at 11am. Let the winter chaos begin!!

Noticed some key personalities have had off for a day or two this week. I wonder if it's an "early" weekend in anticipation of having to work all day Saturday (as in wall-to-wall coverage).

Most of the O&Os have identical schedules (particularly WABC, WPVI, KABC, and KGO, with just some shuffling). RTM/Millionaire would replace FabLife. KFSN carries Dr. Oz instead of Rachael Ray. WLS and KTRK carry the same programs with some minor differences (mainly Rachael Ray in overnights since they have one less hour of syndication).

They'd also sell KFSN, but why are we going down this road?

I meant a half hour of each, not a double take. Perhaps the Fox station deal expired?

FabLife gone, Right This Minute to replace it on the ABC O&Os this fall (possible paired with the recently renewed Millionaire?): http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/fablife-cancelled-tyra-banks-chrissy-teigen-talk-show-1201683544/

Did you not read the post you responded to? It is coming back for another season after this one. See below.

I could see GAA making a comeback.
