WXmanTim 88 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Said CBS news and sports president Sean McManus, "Chris has done a great job filling in on Saturdays. He's a highly skilled broadcaster and we're pleased to officially welcome him to CBS News." "...and his Q-ratings with soccer moms was through the roof!" McManus most certainly did not say, but was probably thinking.
Vlad 334 Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Yep, looks like he has double duties, 5PM 11PM Weeknights as well as Weekend Mornings.
cbs2idiots 24 Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Damn they couldn't dump him off 5 & 11PM I was hoping the same thing too. Better luck next time. LOL
TVNewsWatcher 6 Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Give him a couple of months... I'm sure those hours will start wrecking havoc on his body...and then it will be Jim and Airhead at 5 and 11
Amra 171 Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 I see Airhead being dumped too. Maybe a Jim/Dana at 5 & 11 and Don/Cindy for Noon and 6. Cindy and Don do have some chemistry on air. We all can hope
cbs2idiots 24 Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Can we see Don and Airhead or Don and Mary at 5 and 11pm. Very Interesting. Well I would rather see Dana and Jim back at 11. Hopefully Chris will move full time to CBS News
Geoffrey 873 Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 I don't think Wragge is leaving CBS 2 anytime soon... he's been doing this since last spring and is clearly used to having this six-day week.

TrfRptr 3 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Posted February 22, 2008 I'm with ya SuitSnob, I think Wragge is very good at his job. For a guy to transition from sports to news is great. Inspirational for someone like myself. I think this move for Wragge on S ES is setting him up for some bigger stuff at CBS News. Who knows, five-ten years down the road he may find himself anchoring M-F on the Early Show or perhaps a correspondents role with the Evening News. Chris is a talented guy who brings, IMO, stability to CBS2. Not to mention he looks like the world's greatest reader sitting next to Johnson. Seriously, could she stumble anymore?
NYNews 54 Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Chris Wragge has potential. CBS is most likely grooming him to be the co-anchor of the CBS Early Show. As many of you have noted, he's a favorite with the ladies, something that a bald Harry Smith doesn't have. Don't get me wrong Harry Smith is a strong reporter/anchor, but the early show needs to inject some energy into it's show, something Chris Wragge and his former weekend co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez might be able to do.
SuitSnob 19 Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 (And don't even get me STARTED on how great his wardrobe is 77% of the time! If I were only to judge the men of NYC News based on today I would say he is the best-dressed man on-air. I was just blown away-total SuitSnob Stupdefecation! But I don't want to dumb-down this thread by making wardrobe comments, so I will just keep them itallics so they aren't official...)
