If you follow Tammie on Twitter, she's been filling in on the CBS Chicago affiliate, too, sometimes traveling back and forth between Philly and Chicago.

Jim Donovan tweeted Monday morning that Llarisa Abreu had a day off. I'm not sure about Kate Bilo in the evening.

Long day for weather fill-in Tammie Souza today. She did the 4:30-7AM news, 12 noon, 4, 5, 6, 10 and 11 PM shows.

Meteorologist Mark Shanaberger's last day at WFMZ was today, 10/19. He announced it last week and they showed old photos and clips during the 4PM show. He's going to work at a weather agency in Allentown. He's been with the station since 2006. Twitter announcement below with link to Facebook video. https://twitter.com/MarkShanaberger/status/1316485183395291137

Karen Rogers did the weather on the morning and noon news today (Sunday). I'm pretty sure Chris Sowers was not on at all earlier today. Chris is in doing the evening news.

Meteorologist Chris Sowers is working a double shift today. He did the early morning news today and he's now doing the 10 & 11PM shows.

Christina Anthony's last day at WFMZ was today, 8/1. She's moving to Michigan.

It's the 25th anniversary of 69 News Berks edition. There's a slideshow of pictures through the years. Link to pictures, Rob Vaughn, Wendy Davis, Ed Hanna, Nancy Werteen, Gregg Murphy, etc.

I noticed Michelle Grossman is doing weather on NBC10 this morning.

Now you can get an autographed copy of the book, signed by either Jim Gardner or Cecily Tynan for an additional $55, so $100 total. The $55 will go to the Philadelphia Covid Fund. https://www.doylestownbookshop.com/action-news-books

Reminder that this special airs tonight. According to my TV listings, it will be on again Saturday at 7PM and Sunday at 1PM and 12 midnight.

Just saw an ad during the newscast that there will be an Action News 50th anniversary TV special on Thursday, June 18 at 8PM. https://twitter.com/6abc/status/1270339959359262723?cxt=HHwWhsC-2czdk6EjAAAA

FTVLive reported today that a bunch of CBS3 employees were just let go. Reporters Crystal Cranmore, Chantee Lans, Cleve Bryan, Sports anchor Lesley Van Arsdall, and Traffic anchor Chandler Lutz are among the notables. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2020/5/28/over-a-dozen-gone-in-philly This info was also posted in the TVNT General Discussion section, as there were layoffs at other CBS O&Os.

WFMZ reporter Ali Reid has Coronavirus. She was interviewed via video chat on the morning news. Part of the interview shows her getting tested at a drive-up testing site. https://www.wfmz.com/health/coronavirus/wfmzs-ali-reid-details-coronavirus-experience/article_84063c40-74e8-11ea-b687-8f939b803ad4.html

Matt Peterson did the morning weather from his home today. Tammie Souza filled in on the evening newscast and did the weather from her home. Lesley Van Arsdall did the sports news from her home.

Don Bell just did the sports report from his house via video chat.

I believe Jan Carabeo was in the newsroom this morning, not Janelle Burrell.

CW/CBS3 has their weekend news/weather/sports team split up. Joe Holden stays at the desk alone. Lauren Casey does her entire forecast from the weather center and Lesley Van Arsdall is reporting sports from the newsroom. I can only assume this is virus-related.

Looks like they're going to start showing repeats of the 10PM CW-Philly news at 10:30PM. It even says "Encore" over the station ID bug on the screen.

Tammie Souza is filling in on weather tonight (Saturday) on CBS 3.

Matt's been doing the weekday mornings and Tiffany Savona has been doing the weekend mornings. Tiffany did do the weather this morning (Thursday), and it looks like Matt will be doing the evening forecast today.

CBS3 has had a few different meteorologists filling in this week on the evening broadcasts. On Sunday, they had Vanessa Murdock from CBS NY do the forecast remotely. Monday & Tuesday, Justin Drabick filled in. Today, Chelsea Ingram is back in Philly to do the forecasts. I believe Kate Bilo is on vacation and I guess Lauren Casey is as well.

Yes, they were both on at 11.

Erin is co-anchoring with Christie Ileto tonight (Saturday) on the 10PM PHL17 news.
