If she’s doing that much filling in, they definitely need to find her a spot on their team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF1964 57 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 If you follow Tammie on Twitter, she's been filling in on the CBS Chicago affiliate, too, sometimes traveling back and forth between Philly and Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m wondering if there’s any anchoring in her future at CBS3. On a separate note, are Natasha and Alexandria no longer anchors of the 4PM? Ukee and Jessica have been anchoring it since Covid hit, and it doesn’t seem to be as fill-ins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillynewslover 126 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 They’re playing a very long credit roll (everyone that works at the station is in it). It aired last night at 10 and 11, they’re playing it again now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey 779 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 One of two pretty damning stories about Peter Dunn in the LA Times today. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2021-01-24/cbs-television-stations-peter-dunn-racism-sexism Some quotes but I recommend reading the whole thing: Quote His first major move was to install a hometown hero, Ukee Washington, as lead evening anchor. Kennedy said the promotion of Washington — a Black journalist who has been with KYW more than 30 years — was long overdue. Washington started at KYW in 1986 as a sports anchor and, a decade later, became morning news anchor, where he remained for 19 years. Quote Dunn knew Washington from his KYW days and approved the promotion, but Kennedy said in an interview that Dunn frequently disparaged Washington, calling him “just a jive guy.” “Peter would say: ‘All he does is dance ... dancing, dancing,’” Kennedy recalled in an interview. Quote In a 2016 budget meeting, Dunn asked about Washington’s transition to lead anchor. “He’s not doing that ‘jive talking’ anymore? Sometimes, he’s just not speaking my language,” Cronan recalled Dunn saying in the meeting, which was attended by several people. Kennedy separately recalled the incident.

PhillyWatch 238 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 It's a testament to the modern trend of out-of-market suits running homogenized station groups with no regard to market needs (I.E. iHeartRadio), although in this case we have the cherry-on-top of the suit being a blatant bigot I also see this as a testament to the local management at KYW and how they wanted the station to be competitive and succeed. They had plans, they made changes, they were excited. But all Dunn and Friend could do was rain on their parades and snuff out any sparks of hope. I had never heard the "white-whitness news" nickname before, then again, I come from a white household. We also weren't watching KYW either... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newscopter7 198 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) CBS Corporate's heavy-handedness is ironic considering the market leader's success is a product of their astute awareness of and connection to the community they serve.

Roadrunner 212 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Huh, after KPIX, could KYW finally get something new? Color me shocked. On an unrelated note, reporter Greg Argos departed the station and the industry about a week ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica and Ukee have been at completely different desks since December or so, but now it looks like neither of them are in the studio at all. The lighting was pretty bad last night when I watched; it looked like they were all at home, especially Kate. 3 hours ago, Roadrunner said: On an unrelated note, reporter Greg Argos departed the station and the industry about a week ago. I liked him. I think I've only seen him anchor once, on Christmas Eve last year. Sad to see him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1944 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Because the Network is showing the Grammys. And some stations would use its weekday team to anchor after the awards. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
