SF1964 63 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I know Ukee doesn't move to evenings until next week, but CBS3's current newscasts have all been anchored by women---Jessica, Kate and Lesley. Has a Philadelphia station ever had an all woman newscast for any length of time, not including vacations?

rear_flank 43 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Michelle Grossman's been working weekends on NBC10 again, although she was off this weekend. Justin also does traffic on CBS3 during the weekday mornings occasionally. They should get one of their "Weather Watchers" to start doing forecasts. Kate Bilo is auditioning replacements/helpers, too. http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/cbs-3-kidcaster/ Why has Justin been doing traffic recently? Did they get rid of Vittoria Woodill too?

For some reason, they have Justin doing traffic Monday and Tuesday. Vittoria does traffic in the evening those 2 days. But then Wednesday-Friday, Vittoria does the morning news and there is no traffic for 5-6:30 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13098-the-cbs-3-eyewitness-news-thread/page/4/#findComment-130774 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daybreak 287 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 KYW needs a to do a complete overhaul and they need to invest in the stations. Their product has been lacking for a few years now. I may get a big backlash from this but I think the Alycia Lane and Larry Mendte saga/incident, whatever you want to call it, messed up the channels reputation a bit and leaving the viewers with a bad taste in their mouths . They were on top at one point but now look at them. CBS in general needs to do some work on about all of their stations (WFOR, WCBS, KCBS, KTVT, etc.). I do agree that they need to hire at least 3 male anchors an another female anchor. A rebrand of their sports department and another male weathercaster for weekend mornings. Here's my take below: Mornings: Erika von Tiehl and Male-co anchor Noon: Pat Ciarrocchi and Male co-anchor (from the mornings) Evenings should be broken up into 2 teams 5 p.m. and 11 p.m.: Ukee Washington and Jessica Dean 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.: Natasha Brown and Male co-anchor Weekend Mornings : Nicole Brewer Weekend Evenings: Diana Rocco (or new female anchor) and Male co-anchor If they do this and stick with the teams for more than 3 years to show stability, then they might have a shot. Heck add a 4 p.m. or 7 p.m. newscast but make it a bit lighter and try to interact with viewers.

Either that or take Evenings. I don't know about Diana Rocco though.

Bars-n-tone 39 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 A rebrand of their sports department and another male weathercaster for weekend mornings. Rebranding sports isn't going to help. That stuff is going the way of the dodo. WCAU pawned sports off to CSN just fine. KYW (TV) was going to do the exact same thing a few years ago; there were negotiations. The money wasn't right and Comcast buying NBC was just coming on the horizon so it fell apart. It's not worth paying for a sports anchor (or more) and separate sports producers for -if you're lucky- two minutes of content. They could easily get someone from WIP to do it, much like KYW-AM has done.

And I also think they need a very attractive male co anchor to replace Ukee. (some may disagree) In other words they need someone who can bring the buzz back to CBS 3. Alycia Lane was very attractive that's part of the reason people tuned in to watch her & Larry Mendte every night. TV news is a superficial realm like it or not. Personality, beauty, and longevity is the name of the game. Eyewitness News this morning: Erika & New male Co anchor Noon: Pat & Morning male co anchor 5pm: Pat & Natasha (all female @ 5pm can work, add in some lifestyle segments e.g., neighborhood eats on Fridays like WABC) 6pm: Ukee & Jessica 10pm: Natasha can do it solo since its only a 30min newscast 11pm: Ukee & Jessica Weekend Mornings: Todd & Nicole Weekend Evenings: Diana Rocco and male co anchor Only 2 male co anchors are hired in this case. Promotions from within, saves the station $$$.
