This is true. But in Cynthia's case, she was used as the main gap filler until Irika was brought in after Shannon Hori left. I get bringing someone else in for the top job, but if you're going to use someone in that role (gap filler) for an extended period of time who's been a team player at the station, some type of a lesser promotion would have been a nice consolation (like having her co-anchor with Elliot at Noon and 6pm, or giving her mornings with the latest moves). WNBC situation is different because Shiba wasn't doing it at 11pm for the station, hence why they brought someone else in. She was not used as gap filler, but rather was demoted (or if you believe the other side of the story, she chose to switch up her hours because of family). Also, as much as I like Pat Battle, no way in hell she would ever get the top job at WNBC nor was she ever considered.

Dude, you don't have to post your questions 50 million times! You're starting to sound like a little whining kid (which I have no doubt you are). You lied to everyone about who you really were (although there was no doubt in most of our minds). Then you private message people asking why no one wants to answer your questions or talk to you. Don't you have some school work to do? Or better yet, shouldn't you be in school right now? Stop being annoying! What do you say, can we #CountOnIt ???

Seems to me like they're both leaving for the same reason. They both have been troopers and played along, but both were passed over (in Cynthia's case twice) for the top job. They could have easily given Cynthia noon and 6pm with Elliot (he's a bore to watch). Good luck to both of them!

Walter anchored at 10pm on PHL 17, but Jim is on at 11pm on 6.

To be completely accurate, he was anchoring continuing papal coverage on Channel 6, and at 10pm, that coverage began to be simulcast on PHL 17, at which point he welcomed the viewers joining them on PHL 17. So it's not like he came in just to anchor the 10pm. I'm sure he anchored the 11pm, which is probably a first as well.

Monica Malpass is co-anchoring at noon with Rick today from the parkway studio. Interestingly, although not in studio but reporting, Sarah is working today (she usually has off on Fridays) covering the Pope's visit to NYC.

Does anybody find it weird that this is a big news week with the Pope coming and Jim Rosenfield has been off so far this week? In the past he has been off randomly as well. For instance, one week he was off Mon., Wed., Thurs., and Fri., but worked on the Tuesday.

According to dcrtv.com, it will be Longo & Foster at 11pm. Personally I think they should can the 7pm in favor of a 4pm.

Actually, he was on Sunday night. Natasha welcomed him back.

Already mentioned.

Right. And by years you mean the last 30. While CBS has made some great strides in the mornings and eveningsas of recent, they have a looooooong way to go to reach 2nd place.

#ClassAct Hoping she lands somewhere better.

I don't believe that that falls under OSHA's jurisdiction.

Whose Scott Williams? (I'm being sarcastic). Honestly a great pickup by 29. 3 was foolish to let her go, and while I like Kate, I don't think she's ready to be chief yet. Scott never caught on for me, nor has Iain.

Maybe she'll go to WFOR? They could also use a second evening team at KYW.

I wonder why they don't have Rosemary fill in in the AM and have Tracy sub in the evenings.

Sarah should become the main back-up to Monica and Sharrie.

I wonder if she'll continue in her 5pm contributing anchor role, if it'll be eliminated altogether, or if someone else will take on that role (Sarah, Eva, Nydia).

Would explain why Tracy was on at 4AM.

Who? Do tell!

For someone who supposedly works for NBC10 you have an awful lot of time to spend on this thread. Drop the act. The way you write your posts screams little kid.

Very, very, extremely rarely.

Seems so although they hired Chris for that reason and then moved him to mornings. They also seem content with solo anchors at 6/11 weekdays when one has off. Personally I think if Renee doesn't return, they should move Tracy back to evenings so that there is a familiar face. Have Keith and Tracy at 11am/5pm and Jim and Jackie at 4pm/6pm/11pm

I thought I read that the 3pm news hour is ending. Am I not remembering correctly?

She was offered a contributor role and turned it down.
