Well Anthony DiLorenzo is joining PIX as general assignment reporter from WFTV in Orlando http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/wpix-adds-anthony-dilorenzo-as-reporter/145056

Not for anything but Jill Nicolini's been back for a couple of weeks now and she's been doing evening entertainment segments. Alex still does traffic in the morning. Maybe the morning shift isn't compatitble for Jill anymore, but wouldn't surprise me if Jill lost her traffic job. I mean, Katie McGee lost it to Alex Denis since Katie went on vacation for over 2 weeks, and was demoted to evening entertainment reporter. Alex Denis lost her job to Jill when she was pregnant and was demoted to "morning social media reporter", and now it looks like Alex got her old traffic job back since Jill went on maternity leave. I figured if Jill was going to go back to traffic she would've went back by now (not that I have a problem with Alex, it's just that CBS 2 doesn't stay consistent). Also, they do traffic and weather together on the 2's now.

Speaking about CBS 2, their 11pm newscast ended at 11:49 tonight... and their next show- which was a March madness special- started earlier than scheduled at 11:53 or something like that. I thought that was a little strange.

Well, well, well.. I just saw this: https://careers2-tribune.icims.com/jobs/42451/producer---6pm/job?hub=8&mobile=false&width=1323&height=500&bga=true&needsRedirect=false&jan1offset=-300&jun1offset=-240 If you can't click on the link it's a position for a producer for a 6pm newscast.
