Daybreak 269 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 KDKA adds former CBS Early Show Consumer Corespondent Susan Koeppen and former WEWS morning anchor Kimberly Gill to the anchor team. Susan will anchor the 6 and 11 p.m. newscasts and Kimberly Gill will anchor the noon and 4 p.m. newscast. I think thats a good fit for both.

Tyler 150 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Susan is no strangers to Pittsburgh, as she was formerly at WTAE. And, she never left Pittsburgh, and filed a lot of reports for the Early Show from here. I just read in the Post-Gazette that Stephanie Watson is leaving on September 25th to explore other career opportunities. What a shame, I really like her.

TJTWX 2 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 @Daybreak Probably Paul Martino. He's filled in for her when she's off. So it'll probably be Paul Martino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.L. Hughes 753 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Sorry to bump the thread, but this probably belongs here. Susan Koeppen was hospitalized over the weekend after suffering a heart attack. Here's the story from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: KDKA-TV news anchor Susan Koeppen remains hospitalized after suffering a heart attack while running with friends. Koeppen, an award-winning journalist who returned to Pittsburgh airways on Sept. 19 to co-anchor KDKA's 6 and 11 p.m. newscasts, was stricken Sunday while running near the intersection of Centre and South Negley avenues in Shadyside. City police said running partners began performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation and that a passerby used an automated external defibrillator from a nearby business until paramedics arrived. KDKA general manager Christopher Pike would only say Koeppen was off the air Monday night. He refused further comment "to abide by her family's wishes." Koeppen was a consumer reporter and weekend anchor for WTAE-TV before becoming the consumer correpsondent for CBS News' "The Early Show" in 2004.

Jess 1110 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 KDKA general manager Christopher Pike would only say Koeppen was off the air Monday night. He refused further comment "to abide by her family's wishes." I'm speaking only on speculation here, but if they can't issue a "she's hospitalized but recovering" comment, then I can't imagine the situation is good at all. I'm praying I'm wrong, but the whole situation just doesn't sound promising. Regardless, my thoughts and prayers are with her and her family right now.

God forbid KD pulls what WJXT did with the circumstances of George Winterling ie; keeping his condition on the downlow, then turning it into a sweeps period piece.
