I wonder where Sharon will end up next??

Terrell did good on WNN. I can see him taking Kendis’ spot

Wheel of fortune and Jeopardy are cash cows and ratings gold in many markets.

She and Melissa probably worked out a deal that she’d work 12pm if Melissa would fill in at 11pm on Friday night. Another thing I noticed is that Sharrie Williams has been off all week except oddly she filled in for Monica @ 5pm on Thursday. Then was off again on Friday. Maybe a case of the anchors tryna use as much of their vacation time as possible as the year is almost finished

I think what’s working is the Combination of the Anchor teams and the on air graphic/set appearance. Hands down ‘CAU has the best news set in town. The station looks and operates as a market #4 station. *Take note CBS* When Jim Gardner retires I can see 10 overtaking 6 @ 11pm if they continue to play their cards right. Jim/Jacqueline are a good team. I’m just interested; does anyone know where KYW came in the ratings?

They desperately need one. I actually like WCBS’ & WJZ news sets. CBS needs to start dumping a ton of money into KYW.

WPVI/WCAU run a seasoned and older operation. Especially WPVI; the reason why they’re number one is because their anchors and reporters have been around forever. Even ‘PVI’s “young” talent is top notch. Same with NBC10. At KYW other than Ukee Washington and maybe Natasha Brown who there has been around longer than 5years? Talent comes and goes at that station. No real connection with the city and it’s residents. Unlike Action News where their Anchors are household names. There’s a reason why so many have abandoned ship at KYW. It’s a station you come to build your resume and add market 4 to your list of accomplishments; and then head National. This Ain’t some flyover market in Kansas. It’s a place where people should aspire to get to and WANT to stay long term. That’s how u build a successful station. By hiring people who find it an honor to be in Philadelphia. It’s a shame what has happened to CBS. Long gone are the likes of Walt Hunter, Pat C, Malcolm Poindexter, Trudy Hanes, Larry Kane, etc But that’s the business nowadays: Young, Pretty, & CHEAP.

Quoted for emphasis. WJZ is a good CBS operation. Maybe KYW can replace some of the management with WJZ staffers; because the KCCO experiment in Philly isn’t working. KYW may wanna add to their male anchor bench. Or at least not have Ukee and Jessica anchor 5,6,10,11pm shows. The station is a mess, why is CBS allowing its station in the 4th largest market to be such a non competitive entity???

Awe I’m sure she’s probably going National headed to NY or DC. No way you leave market 4 -as main anchor willingly unless you’re moving up the market ladder.... Chicago, LA, NYC Now CBS really needs to get the anchor situation sorted out at KYW.

What on air changes would you all like to see at Channel 7?

Did she have a boy or girl?

I wonder if she's headed back to WPLG.

Yeah people really like Hoda, she has a huge following going back to her days in New Orleans. If NBC were smart theyd add her to compete against CBS which is growing in viewers.

So whats the consensus on the addition of Shirleen to WABC. Its been a year now since she joined from WPVI.

She maybe headed to 6ABC but unlikely unless someone is leaving to go to the network. My guess is she is headed to NBC10 either as weekend evening anchor or 4pm& 6pm co anchor to replace Renee Chenault Fattah.

Hopefully they follow WAGA Fox 5 in Atlanta playbook as far as the new set is concerned. FOX 5 Atlanta news set is awesome

More young 'PVI talent moving on to bigger platforms within the ABC News family...First Shirleen, then Kenneth, now Eva. WPVI is indeed a powerhouse station. WABC & WPVI are the best news stations in the country.

I like this line up. Natasha should be moved to evenings. And I also think they need a very attractive male co anchor to replace Ukee. (some may disagree) In other words they need someone who can bring the buzz back to CBS 3. Alycia Lane was very attractive that's part of the reason people tuned in to watch her & Larry Mendte every night. TV news is a superficial realm like it or not. Personality, beauty, and longevity is the name of the game. Eyewitness News this morning: Erika & New male Co anchor Noon: Pat & Morning male co anchor 5pm: Pat & Natasha (all female @ 5pm can work, add in some lifestyle segments e.g., neighborhood eats on Fridays like WABC) 6pm: Ukee & Jessica 10pm: Natasha can do it solo since its only a 30min newscast 11pm: Ukee & Jessica Weekend Mornings: Todd & Nicole Weekend Evenings: Diana Rocco and male co anchor Only 2 male co anchors are hired in this case. Promotions from within, saves the station $$$.

In Cleveland how lowly rated is WEWS? Aren't they #1 at 11pm?

Maybe with the edition of Shirleen, Lori is able to take longer vacations. Just a thought.

CBS 3 needs to hire at least 2 weathercasters, 3 male Co-Anchors (1 to replace Ukee in the AM, 1 for weekend mornings, 1 weekend evenings) A new sports anchor, and a few new reporters who belong in Market 4. With the exception of Walt Hunter, all of the reporting staff are mid level market at best. CBS really should invest big time $$$$ into KYW, just like Comcast did for WCAU.

Im interested in seeing the numbers for GDP. #2 or #3 in the AM would be pretty impressive. OAN: Im glad viewers are taking a liking to Ian & Lucy at 10pm.

I think its safe to say if you're a good Anchor/Reporter in Philly, your next stop will be NY, or DC. Philly seems to be a layover for many. Long gone are the days of reporters sticking around for 10-20 yrs in Philadelphia. Congrats to Kenneth Moton.

I honestly think Diana is eventually gonna leave pretty soon, maybe in the next year or so. Therefore Lori gets promoted to evenings, and Shirleen becomes morning and noon anchor. But she could have only just been hired to do the 12pm show, and report in the evenings. There are very interesting things happening at 7 Lincoln Square. I wonder how the other anchors and reporters are feeling about the new hire.
