According to Stacey Baca in her Facebook live video, changes are coming soon as it looks like that a male co-anchor for the weekend am news is going to be hired soon. Which means the Diane Pathieu will go back to reporting.
Cheryl Scott is on for Phil tonight. Mark Mcginnis was on for Larry this morning. For the past few months. Larry hasn't worked that many weekends. I think he has worked about 3 or 4 weekends since the Solar Eclipse.
I don't get why Cheryl Scott needs to be at Wrigley field. She's not a sports nor a news reporter, she's a METEOROLOGIST. They have plenty of reporters there. .
This is from Jan 1st 2015. before Mike's firing. It also shows how long they took to get Dionne Miller's bio up, who joined the station 2 months before Cheryl, October of 2014 to be exact. I'm sorry if I'm being rude.
They do need to update their bios. Jerry's still reads that he's on at 5pm, 6pm and 10pm. He gave up the 10pm for the 7pm on the U over a year ago. He gave up the 5pm 3 years ago this coming January when Mike Caplan was fired. They still haven't put Liz Nagy's bio and Craig Wall's bio and they been their for a while. Plus it took a year for them to put up a bio for Will Jones. But they updated the bios really quickly when Cheryl Scott joined.
For some reason I never found WGN morning news appealing to me, I prefer 5 and 7 before 7am, and I want local news later, I will watch Good Day Chicago.
Here's my opinion of WFLD, Their product and talent has improved over that last years. I sometimes watch GDC over my usual ABC7. GDC has Mike Caplan(which he is excellent). WFLD made awesome decisions by picking up Mike, Sylvia, and Rafer and making Corey lead anchor.

It's a sad story. Tammie Souza's son was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She was out for several weeks over the summer. Prayers that her son recovers fully.
I wish Podesta the best, she's a strong reporter. Also, any guesses on when Jerry's going to retire? If soon, I really hope Cheryl Scott doesn't get chief. Lets hope they give Larry the job and demote her. Cheryl Scott isn't Chief material for market 3. Heck, she's not even chief material for market 20! There are 3 meteorologists that have far more experience than her.
Hey guys. I'm new to the forums and I'm just wondering, are they going to ever hire a male weekend morning anchor? We are coming up to a year since Ben Bradley's departure.
