jb542 13 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Being that 3 is trying to promote itself as the optimistic alternative to the other stations in town (translation: don't look for much hard news there), it doesn't surprise me that they wouldn't mind turning the morning show into a giggle fest. This new thing they're going to try with Nicole Brewer smacks of just that. They're going to end up in 4th place if they keep this up. These light, feature heavy news formats just don't work in this town and every station here that's tried it has tanked as a result of it. CBS3 let go all of the good people and then replaces them with young people that cannot report the news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsLover 727 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 They're better off auditioning Tracy for the 6pm & 10pm and pairing her with Greg Argos or some other male hire. Ukee & Jessica could do 5pm & 11pm. They can fill the morning co-anchor position with a male and still have the lighter material (see John Muller WPIX when he did mornings or Neil Orne WKRN). A bit ironic as CBS This Morning is complete opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Mendte screwed himself up and Marc Howard retired. Only Chris May was actually let go. Alycia Lane also screwed herself up, no matter how much she was warned.

TVNewsLover 727 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Don't forget about Susan Barnett. Was there ever a final explanation of her departure? They couldn't agree to terms of a new contract. Pat Ciarrochi and Carol Erickson recently left. CBS3 just lost quite a few good reporters in the past year who would've been good anchor material (Matt Rivers, Todd Quinones, Steve Patterson).

SF1964 57 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I always liked Mary Stoker Smith, who anchored weekend evenings. Wikipedia says she left CBS 3 in 2009, but doesn't say why. I believe Chris May was originally hired to be her weekend co-anchor. I also thought Anne-Marie Green was good, but she left on her own to go to CBS national news.

JoseRM303 169 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 So what's gonna happen to Erika Von what's her face? Pushed out? Moving to weekends? Evenings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5275 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Also, is Donovan still going to be the morning anchor? What the hell is going on over there? Dismantling is fine (not great, but nothing new), but if you're going to tear things down, don't start to make repairs while demolition elsewhere is still in-progress.

PAnderson1 27 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Don't forget about Susan Barnett. Was there ever a final explanation of her departure? She went to cover the election of Pope Francis and then got Pneumonia I think somehow and announced she was leaving ... However, I don't think that was the full story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link I posted from FTV actually said they were interviewing candidates for "co-anchors", so it may be Erika and the new person together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAnderson1 27 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Nicole was the weekend morning anchor. She was just filling in once Ukee got promoted to nights. Nicole anchored with Ben Simmoneau(Now at WNYW) and Todd Quinones who left for Las Vegas earlier before Todd just started reporting and fill in anchoring and Ben left for NYC. Nicole needed a co-anchor. I don't think she's really good at solo anchoring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
