Sheba Turk hasn’t been seen on the KCAL morning news in weeks. Three to be exact.  Anyone have any info on where she is? The station still lists her as an anchor on its website.  

Here's your answer:

She had emergency surgery and had to spend weeks recovering. She'll be back next week.

And according to this from one of their sports anchors (Sports Central), they'll keep the Chargers rights as well. I'd expect the preseason game between the two to air on KCBS & KCAL. Something important to note here, CBS produces the Chargers preseason games, while the Rams are in-house with the Kroenke's.

On Monday, June 1st, some changes will be going into effect at the CBS LA duopoly, which Chris Holmstrom and Rachel Kim have hinted at on their Instagram pages this week. Those changes include removing the 4-6am live edition of CBS Mornings on KCBS in favor of two half hours of CBS News Mornings at 4 and 4:30am, followed by the 5am hour of CBS LA Mornings returning to KCBS for the first time in nearly two years. This means that the 5-7am portion of CBS LA Mornings will be simulcasting on both CBS LA, Channel 2 and KCAL 9. They should’ve done it like this when they axed the 4am hour not too long ago but at least they are coming back to their senses now.

Lastly, Rachel Kim will be anchoring CBS LA News at 11am on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays and will report in studio on the 7-10am portion of CBS LA Mornings on those days, while maintaining her position as a co-anchor on the weekend editions of CBS LA Mornings.

Jamie Yuccas was the primary anchor for that slot but they did rotate between talent on certain days.
