24994J 5575 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 It's unofficially official. Irika Sargent of WFOR will join Rob Johnson as 5, 6, and 10pm co-anchor beginning October 19th. http://www.robertfeder.com/2015/09/15/cbs-2-bets-on-anchor-irika-sargent/ For anyone wondering, Feder included the roller coaster of anchor line-ups this century. In the 15 years prior to this list, there were only 3 anchor teams and 4 different anchors... CBS 2’s ever-changing 10 p.m. anchor lineup: Carol Marin (2000) David Kerley and Linda MacLennan (2000 to 2001) David Kerley and Tracy Townsend (2001 to 2002) Antonio Mora and Tracy Townsend (2002) Antonio Mora and Linda MacLennan (2002 to 2003) Antonio Mora and Tracy Townsend (2003) Antonio Mora and Diann Burns (2003 to 2007) Rob Johnson and Diann Burns (2007 to 2008) Rob Johnson and Anne State (2008 to 2009) Rob Johnson (2009 to 2010) Rob Johnson and Kate Sullivan (2010 to 2015) Rob Johnson and Irika Sargent (2015) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14041-random-wbbm-thread/page/4/#findComment-134965 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BehindNYNews 147 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I wonder where Kate will end up. Maybe she can go back to WCBS and serve as a weekend anchor.

JoseRM303 171 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Wow Irika didn't last long in Miami. Wonder who will replace her at 5 & 11 at WFOR?

BehindNYNews 147 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Would WCBS wanna take her back though? I can't say but she was a good morning anchor at WCBS and I bet she would be a good weekend morning anchor and they can get rid of Andrea. I'm sorry but I'm not a big fan of Andrea's anchoring, she can go back to her reporter roll.

Perhaps she makes a better morning anchor then she did a evening anchor; also to note Kate's bio is gone from WBBM.

TVNewsLover 779 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I wonder where Kate will end up. Maybe she can go back to WCBS and serve as a weekend anchor. Maybe she'll go to WFOR? They could also use a second evening team at KYW. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14041-random-wbbm-thread/page/4/#findComment-134993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 2409 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Maybe she'll go to WFOR? They could also use a second evening team at KYW. Kate Sullivan could come to WFOR 4, but it wouldn't care on my end because again, I don't watch WFOR 4 and neither does the rest of South Florida. I thought of 3 replacements for Irika Sargant. We'll forget her name, very quickly: 1) Cynthia Demos. She was the weeknight anchor until demoted for Irika. I think she's the highest possible replacement for Irika, since she's been at WFOR 4 since around 2007, I think. 2) Rudabeh Shahbazi. She's a hottie, IMO, but I don't think they will give her the evening shift after just working in the morning shift for 1-2 months. There's just no way. I think she is the least of candidates to take over. 3) Lauren Pastrana. She did evening reporting, before being asked to fill-in to anchor the morning news after Rhiannon Ally (now at KSHB) left and remained filling-in until Rudabeh showed up from KABC. Another name just threw in my brain... Michele Gillen. She did anchor at WTVJ for a number of years, but with her very good work at investigations for WFOR 4, I don't think she would give up that just for another shot at anchoring again. It's a very confusing, trouble mess at WFOR 4. The exodus of talent at the station, continues.

alex979 119 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 This is a pretty odd move. Sure, their ratings are abysmal, the Johnson/Sullivan duo is extremely weak, and *almost* any change would be good change for their 10pm. But why bring in someone from Miami that no Chicagoan will recognize and make her the anchor of the flagship newscast? Do they actually think this is going to move the dial? The timing is also interesting... getting nervous about WGN? I wonder if there are more changes in the works. Hope so.

Jase 1047 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Why not Roseanne Tellez on the evening broadcasts? Easy....She's too old. They are thinking about/planning for the future. Tellez is 52 with 25 years of experience in this market which holds very little value these days sadly. Johnson should have been tossed out as well, but I guess that would be too much for WBBM to handle/overcome.

newsmusicfan 13 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 So this was posted on Kate Sullivan's Facebook page earlier... I am so grateful. Thank you to everyone for your kind words, love, and support in the past 24 hours. I was suddenly let go from CBS 2 yesterday and now no longer work there. As I said to my boss when he told me the news, I have nothing but supreme gratitude for five beautiful, difficult, fascinating, and challenging years in Chicago. God works…in mysterious ways. Always. Be. Kind. #Onward #Trueworth#Faith Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14041-random-wbbm-thread/page/4/#findComment-135128 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eat News 4745 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 WBBM is going to have a vacancy in their daytime lineup at 2pm starting next summer. Queen Latifah is not being renewed. Not really sure what they'll put there or anything yet. Just leave it blank... Call it "WBBM Time Out". Provide it as a public service to parents of naughty little boys and girls as punishment. Since you can't hit the kids anymore... "Go watch time out you little brats!". Single moms will say... Maybe it will make a dent in the Chicago gang problem.

Demos anchored mornings then moved to 5:30 and 10:00pm after Erika Von Tiehl left for KYW. When the 6:00pm show became a solo anchor show and the 5:00pm anchors did the whole hour and the 10:00pm show was cancelled then demos was moved to weekends.
