Aziza Shuler, most recently the weekend evening anchor at KYW/CBS News Philadelphia, has joined WCBS/CBS News New York. She reported Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday this week on the morning newscast. She was welcomed on Thursday morning. 
 

I am speculating that she was brought in to replace Elaine Quijano on weekend mornings alongside Doug Williams.  I guess we will have to wait and see!

congratulations, you were correct!

Now officially, Aziza is the new co-anchor of weekend mornings.

 

 

Honestly don't understand why they don't promote from within for stuff like this. Gotta be pretty disheartening for the reporters. I guess going to the network is what they aspire to.

Technically, they did promote Aziza from within the CBS News and Stations group. The question is will she be a long term placement in lieu of the upcoming Paramount layoffs?

Dana Tyler spotted in the wild. She cameoed as a reporter on Law & Order SVU this past Thursday. Sue Simmons has done so in the past.

Good to see her doing well. She sorta disappeared after leaving the station she’s not active on social media.

Trying to watch the 5:00 on YouTube TV but it's the CBS News 24/7 show The Takeout instead. But if I go to cbsnews.com/live, I can watch the broadcast.

 

Earlier at noon, the YouTube TV feed was really bad and not really possible to sit through for more than a few seconds. I guess they swapped it with the national stream, but weird they didn't pick the NY one. (I'm not sure if the daytime programming aired or if this only affects news.)

Please tell me Cindy Hsu has just been on a very long vacation. Her pic still comes up as anchor of the news at noon when they play those advertisements, but she hasn’t been there in weeks. Usually Jessica Moore is there now, and never says she’s in for Cindy. She’s the last anchor from when I was younger watching CBS 2, and still one of the very best in all of NYC.

Maybe they cut her, and didn’t let her have a goodbye.

I noticed this, too. For some reason, the fill-in anchor at noon never says “in for Cindy.”  It hasn’t just been for this extended absence. Five-second promos advertising Cindy at noon continue airing on TV, in addition to the streaming advertisement you posted above. Cindy’s bio is also still posted on the website.
 

Speaking of website bios, I noticed that bios for Zinnia Maldonado and Alecia Reid were both removed from the bios page on the website. Neither of them has reported since late October and they both must have been victims of the mass layoffs that hit CBS News and Stations in early November. I also noticed that the bio for Krystle Rich, a sports reporter who was working for WCBS, KYW, and CBS Sports, was removed from the bios page, too. She had only joined earlier in 2025 and I’m not sure if she is still working for KYW or CBS Sports and is just no longer with WCBS, or if she is completely gone.

He been moved to so many shows over the years at CBS in New York he was on multiple timeslots until becoming evening anchor in 2010 for channel 2. They just used him

I called this months ago. SMH. It's a shame to see this come into fruition. Hopefully WNBC or WABC can get him somehow. I would say a station with a weak anchor bench like WNYW but that place has high turnover.

Curt Menefee announced this morning he’s leaving FOX5.. could we see Maurice go there??

Jennifer McLogan is stepping back from her daily reporting duties but according to Kristine Johnson she's not retiring.

 

Before she was interrupted by Kristine, Jennifer said she hoped to be able to report at least two to three days a week. I questioned if this is fully Jennifer's choice given what's going on at CBS.

Yay, Cindy has returned to the ariwaves as of today at noon! So glad it was just a long break, which we are all entitled to.

[ActionNews 12]

Thank goodness! She’s the best. 

[Geoffrey 958]

So happy to see Cindy back. I think I'm not alone in saying that I was growing increasingly concerned. Cindy brings so much light and warmth to Channel 2's airwaves and the station is instantly better with her there.

The 2025 holiday credits from CBS 2 New York

An unusual sight today at 5pm: 2 men anchoring together, Allen Devlin and Dick Brennan. I still don't know why it's so rare in today's world, when 2 women together is so customary. I supppose the new old CBS Evening News broke the mold

supposedly, because the newscasts are tailored for women, the audience skews female and research shows they don't respond well to two male anchors. The closest other stations have done is have a male anchor read the show solo, and male meteorologist for the weather segment.

Not the first time CBS 2 aired an all-male newscast, as seen from this 1989 intro

 

[ActionNews 12]

Always thought that was their best talent open. Wish they’d bring it back. The one they use now is sleek but so boring. I also can’t used to calling it CBS New York. I still call it channel 2 news and that hasn’t been a thing since the 90s lol

That would be a really major downgrade for him, from evening network news co-anchor to morning show co-host (and junior co-host at that, since Rosanna is always going to be top dog). I can't see him doing it.
