It was taken down due to KDKA-TV not having legal use to Brian Lee due to Lee having a contract with WPXI-TV. They couldn't use Kamer either due to WCAU.

I have seen it spelled both ways (not denying you, because I know you are right). I assumed it was Kramer since that's a more common last name than Kamer. I fixed my post. Thanks for the correction.

They couldn't use Kamer either due to WCAU. The KDKA/KYW hybrid thing was a result of CBS forcing their O&Os to come up with redundancy plans after the COVID-19 outbreak at CBS News/WCBS HQ in NY. Of course, it forced other stations to pick up the slack last minute (Boston covering for NY, etc.) I doubt any of these will really ever see the light of day, but who knows? 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13098-the-cbs-3-eyewitness-news-thread/page/30/#findComment-264321 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaking News 825 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I'm looking for some info and want to see if any diehard Philly newsies or anyone have some answers. Going back to the days when KYW-3 was NBC and WCAU was CBS. I found a 1990 write up in The Philadelphia Inquirer. It was talking about KYW-3 ratings down after a certain sweeps period. They had the numbers in there, and the 6pm news was a rating point behind WCAU. The 11pm tied with WCAU. What I want to know is with affiliated with NBC at that time, was KYW 3 ever competitive? Does anybody know if there were times with NBC having some good programming helped KYW leaped to #2, or was it always dead-last? As for WCAU it was owned by CBS and I'm sure CBS had to be happy with their performance vs. NY, LA, Chicago O&O were not doing so well. Just wanted to know if anyone who knows Philly, have some stories or details about the market before the 1995 CBS/NBC switch. Looking at some of the old KYW-3 videos it does seem like KYW-3 News was solid off course there are different eras. I see some like The News Tonight era. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13098-the-cbs-3-eyewitness-news-thread/page/30/#findComment-265294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyWatch 239 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Incoming Anchor Alert- per the Chicago board, Siafa Lewis is coming in from the NBC affiliate in Chi-town. While at WMAQ he was their main sports anchor and weekend AM anchor, this article explicitly states he's coming in as a weekday anchor. So...where does he fit in? My guess is 4pm and/or 5pm. It was unfortunate that they had to blow up the original 3@4 format because of the pandemic. Perhaps he'll be slotted there with Natasha Brown as they revert that to something more unique in the 4-6:30 block.

Anchoring at 4p with Natasha was my first thought, but something else he could do is anchor the noon. I don't know if he would do it solo, with Natasha, or another reporter (maybe Kerri Corrado), but it would be a good start and it would relieve Jim and Janelle of having to work so long.

Jess 1115 Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 The one thing I've long had a problem with on 3 is them using way too few anchor pairs for a schedule that newscast heavy. I mean, Ukee and Jessica do the 5, 6, 10, and 11 - that's a lot and it would be nice to give one or two of those slots to another pairing. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13098-the-cbs-3-eyewitness-news-thread/page/30/#findComment-266449 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely agree with you - right now, there are only two anchor teams the entire day.

phillynewslover 134 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) Watching the 4p and Natasha is anchoring solo. She got the trivia question right and mentioned it was her second one in a row; they only do one per day so she has to have been talking about yesterday. However, Ukee and Jess were on when I watched last night at 10p. Maybe she's anchoring solo until Lewis joins her on the show? ETA: Jessica's Twitter bio says "Up late on @CBSPhilly 5/6/10 & 11PM". Don't know if she hasn't updated it since Natasha and Alex left the 4p show or if I'm right and Lewis/Brown is the new anchor pairing at 4.

SF1964 63 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Natasha Brown has been anchoring the 4PM show solo for the last 3-4 weeks. Ukee still occasionally pops into the newscast from the newsroom.

phillynewslover 134 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Yeah, Jess did a preview of the 5p show sometime around 4:35p. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13098-the-cbs-3-eyewitness-news-thread/page/30/#findComment-266460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyWatch 239 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Ukee popping up periodically was part of the original 4pm format. I can definitely see the new anchor pairing taking over the 4, and hopefully either the 5 or 10 (I have a feeling it'll just be the 10). Nothing against Ukee and Jessica, but as was stated before- there should at least be another pairing to give them a break/break up the monotony.
