FiveNews 378 Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 I live in Southern California, but rarely watch KCBS as their news team usually puts me to sleep. I do have a question about their weather team, though. I believe it is as follows... KCBS Mornings/11am: Evelyn Taft 5/6/11pm: Jackie Johnson KCAL Noon/4pm: Garth Kemp 8/9/10pm: Rich Fields Weekend AM KCBS/KCAL- Louisa Hodge Weekend PM KCBS/KCAL- Amber Lee My question is...they have Josh Rubenstein as their "chief meterologist," but does he have a regular role on any show?? I know he is covering for Evelyn Taft while she is on maternity leave, but things will return to normal when she returns.
brianpr3 178 Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 maybe garth is per diem like the traffic lady that is filling in for Stephanie?
CalItalian2 163 Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Josh Rubenstein is still listed as the noon and 4 pm weathercaster on KCAL 9 http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/personality/josh-rubenstein/
TexasTVNews 1378 Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 I still miss Rich on The Price is Right, don't like George Gray.
C Block 1566 Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Garth Kemp has been doing mornings for at least the last few weeks. This TVSpy article says he's per diem, which also might explain why his lists voiceover artist before meteorologist in his Twitter bio. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/garth-kemp-to-join-kcbs/160722
FiveNews 378 Posted June 17, 2016 Author Posted June 17, 2016 Got it! Thanks everyone. It never made sense to me that in the second largest market, the chief met is on in the middle of the day. I always thought Josh was weak and couldn't stand up to Dallas and Fritz.
TexasTVNews 1378 Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 Sorry to bump this thread, but Rich Fields is no longer at KCBS-KCAL. Fields contract is not renewed. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/kcal-meteorologists-contract-not-renewed/173505

brianpr3 178 Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 Evelyn Returns from Maternity Leave and was seen on KCAL night casts
CalItalian2 163 Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 KCBS, over the years, always seems to hire the KABC retired weathercasters...Dr. George Fischbeck, Johnny Mountain and Garth Kemp...and they are never there more than a few years...
brianpr3 178 Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 now that rich is out will they beg garth to stay full time?
brianpr3 178 Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 looks like evelyn is off morning s and returned to the 8-10 block on KCAL
rtmclaug 70 Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 I noticed that Markina Brown (formerly at WGCL in Atlanta) has filled in on weekend mornings for Louisa Hodge. I wonder if she's doing some freelancing. On another note, I'm glad that Evelyn Taft is back, but I do miss seeing her with Rick and Sharon on the morning show. I'm still kind of shocked that they got rid of Rich Fields.
JoseRM303 171 Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Garth Kemp has officially joined KCBS/KCAL http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/its-official-kcbs-kcal-hires-garth-kemp/173860 He will work the morning show on CBS2 which explains why Evelyn is now doing evenings on KCAL9.
Ron B 0 Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 maybe garth is per diem like the traffic lady that is filling in for Stephanie? Stephanie is back and Evelyn is now on KCAL9. Put Evelyn back on in the morning. Her chemistry is much better with that group than Garth's. Evelyn, Stephanie and Sharon are GREAT together.
AdamTheJ 90 Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 I still miss Rich on The Price is Right, don't like George Gray. My apologies for bumping this thread, but I’m in Agreement with TexasTVNews with regards to George Gray. In fact, I wish NBC had considered Fields as a nominee to replace the late Don Pardo on Saturday Night Live, but instead they’ve decided to hire Darrell Hammond, who IMO tries Too hard to be Don Pardo. Call me crazy, but am I the only person who Still misses Rich Fields Like Crazy?
Media_1904 25 Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 I wonder if KCBS/KCAL will hire Markina Brown to be part of the weather line up since she freelances for the station as Jackie Johnson is on her way out.
JoseRM303 171 Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 What's happening with Jackie? She's leaving to focus on her clothing line.
Media_1904 25 Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 What's happening with Jackie? http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2018/5/9/popular-left-coast-weather-anchor-signing-off
John2016 7 Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 KCBS weather team has been the most unstable of the three major stations. Why did they not hire Christopher Nance when KNBC let him go?
SFTV 529 Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 So when’s Jackie’s last day now that they finally announced it. Who will get bumped up or hired to replace her spot? Hmmm
JoseRM303 171 Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 So when’s Jackie’s last day now that they finally announced it. Who will get bumped up or hired to replace her spot? Hmmm She never returned Pat Harvey made the announcement during the 5 PM show.
