We all know they like to take their time when filling these slots, but hopefully we hear something soon. Sarah Bloomquist totally deserves the 5 pm slot and I would be shocked if she was not the replacement.
Out of the last 68 5pm newscasts since the departure of Monica Malpass:
-Sarah Bloomquist has filled in 37 times
-Sharrie Williams 17 times
-Christie Ileto 9 times
-Alicia Vitarelli 5 times.
As far as the dates Sarah did not fill in and appeared in another capacity, there were only 5 days where she did not do the 5pm slot.
I would love to see Nydia Han move to the weekend evening slot with Walter and give the weekend morning slot to Jeanette Reyes or Maggie Kent. I like Christie Ileto but I feel she gets tongue tied too much when she's filling in on the desk.
