Jake 3 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I noticed this morning that Liz Keptner was on with Ukee this morning and did not say she was in for Susan Barnett, and then I read this in Dan Gross's Daily News column: "Liz Keptner replaces Susan Barnett alongside Ukee Washington for CBS 3's morning newscast (KYW-TV, Channel 3), starting at 5 a.m. today. Barnett, a Bucks County native, could move to a weekend anchor slot or could be reporting." Anyone know why Susan got the hook, or was she sick of getting up so early? Liz and Susan are both good, but they're so similar I don't see the point. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2000-susan-barnett-out-5am/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bars-n-tone 39 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Susan got the hook. A shame; she's a lovely gal to work with. Management is starting the ball rolling on some other changes.

watsgood 0 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Too bad. I didn't see her every day, but when I did, I thought she did a nice job. Is Keptner a marked improvement?

Jake 3 Posted September 10, 2007 Author Share Posted September 10, 2007 I like Liz keptner to, which sucks, can't trash the replacement. Any reason why Susan was yanked?

newsmaniac 0 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I like Susan too, well i like both of them. I thought maybe Susan didn't like the hours because of a baby at home. Why is Liz better? I noticed this morning that Liz Keptner was on with Ukee this morning and did not say she was in for Susan Barnett, and then I read this in Dan Gross's Daily News column: "Liz Keptner replaces Susan Barnett alongside Ukee Washington for CBS 3's morning newscast (KYW-TV, Channel 3), starting at 5 a.m. today.

hopdevil 1 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Any reason why Susan was yanked? It's an age-old TV tale: The GM really likes Susan (both previously at WFOR) but the morning ratings needed a push. It's all about finding the right "mix" with Ukee and management thinks Liz has it.

first on fox 18 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 She's welcome back to KDKA anytime. I also believe KDKA thinks Kristine sucks. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2000-susan-barnett-out-5am/#findComment-19373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtgh922 18 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Maybe she can come up to NY and join CBS 2. We need all the help we can get up here. She'd be a good replacement for CBS 2 5 & 11pm anchor Kristine Johnson, who is just plain awful.
