Jase 1055 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Mary Kay Kleist has been promoted to weeknights, replacing Steve Baskerville. Took them 10 months make this official??

MonkeyFighter 15 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 What the heck? They don't have anyone else available in a pinch? Well, they did have to bring in Matt Brickman from WCCO to cover the AM news last weekend, so I guess not.

Jase 1055 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Do they necessarily need someone in the Mobile Weather Lab? Surely they could scrap the segment when there’s no one available. I'm guessing they couldn't get away with 'no weather forecast tonight, you have to wait until tomorrow. sorry (not sorry).' This seems like a last minute decision (maybe whomever was coming in that night was very sick and they dispatched the mobile weather lab to NWI, etc...).

24994J 5585 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Rob Johnson was off tonight, and for the first time in forever, the remaining anchor did not go solo. Brad Edwards sat alongside Irika. Meanwhile, Robb Ellis was in for Mary Kay, and Brad accidentally called him Rob Elgas when signing off. Awkward. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14041-random-wbbm-thread/page/12/#findComment-214544 Share on other sites More sharing options...

former newsboy 52 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Not complaining, but what is CBS News national correspondent Adriana Diaz doing anchoring WBBM's morning news right now? And they just said she'll be there the rest of the week filling-in for Erin Kennedy. She's very good, too good for this, one would think. But hey, if they're gonna start using Chicago based network correspondents as fill-in anchors, I can only hope Dean Reynolds is next. Always wanted to see him in for Rob Johnson a time or two.

24994J 5585 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Two new reporters. They'll never be heard from again. Quote Two new reporters have been hired at CBS-owned WBBM-Channel 2 — and both happen to be graduates of the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University. Starting Monday is Tara Molina, just in from WEWS, the ABC affiliate in Cleveland, where she specialized in “topical investigative reporting.” Molina previously worked at WFTX, the Fox affilliate in Ft. Myers, Florida. Joining CBS 2 next month is Mugo Odigwe, a freelance reporter at KOVR, the CBS-owned station in Sacramento, California. She previously worked for KMOV, the CBS affiliate in St. Louis, and KGAN, the CBS affiliate in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. https://www.robertfeder.com/2019/01/21/robservations-barry-rozner-says-hes-ready-leave-score/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14041-random-wbbm-thread/page/12/#findComment-220691 Share on other sites More sharing options...

She should have been Rob's co-anchor all this time. Instead, she hadn't even been filling-in on the anchor desk anymore. Reminds me of how they treated Mary Ann Childers - they hire someone great, management changes a couple hundred times, and before you know it they don't even know who they have right under their nose.

Would've been 11 years of a great thing... 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14041-random-wbbm-thread/page/12/#findComment-222160 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaking News 832 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) Robert Feder said Insiders are saying she'll go to FOX32 and FTVLIVE.com just repeating what Robert said. Why not NBC5? No shade to Allison Rosati, but um...Who going to be next after her? I don't want to be that person...., but is she really a big deal in Chicago? We hear all about the ABC7 folks and here & there are CBS2 people. Of course, you have WGN and then FOX32 they do try. It just seems NBC5 people don't get the cache like ABC7.
