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.

The DraftKings show now airs at 8AM, followed by a local sports betting show at 8:30, so the Sunday morning news is from 6AM to 8AM only.

WPVI is selling a book commemorating 50 years of Action News. Info on book.

Reporter John Rawlins is retiring today (9/30). https://twitter.com/JRawlins6abc/status/1178640647202451457

Tiffany's actually been on Philly TV for the past few months. She was filling in on the PHL17 Morning News.

Justin Drabick filled in on weather at 10 and 11 PM tonight. Good to see him on TV again.

I turned on the 11PM Fox 29 News a few days ago (5/28 or 5/29) and Dave was giving a report. His bio is still on their website, too.

Alicia returned from her medical leave to the 4PM news today.

She posted on Instagram back in February that she was dealing from the after effects of a concussion. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuHnffEFUfV/

Jim Gardner had him at the desk during the 6PM tonight. They played a highlight reel and spoke about life and politics. https://6abc.com/entertainment/vernon-odoms-legendary-career-at-action-news/4898264/ A fan on twitter posted a throwback picture of Jim Gardner, Vernon, Marc Howard, Jim O'Brien, and Jimmy Carter. https://twitter.com/PerryJuDo4ever/status/1073312020076920833

Father and son Rob & Jim Vaughn are co-anchoring the 4PM news together today for the first time.
