IceManNYR 226 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Checking out WCBS recent newscasts there's new hires or freelancers working for them. I noticed one or two women who were new and Whit Johnson just did a live remote from near the Hudson River. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TellyGenic 32 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I noticed that as well. I don't know who this Whit Johnson is, but I sure hope we see more of him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewsJunkie247 1 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I noticed that as well. I don't know who this Whit Johnson is, but I sure hope we see more of him! I think Whit Johnson is just a CBS News national correspondent that was on-the-scene reporting on the crash for CBS affiliates across the country because I found a video of him reporting on the story for KCBS-TV. Also, I noticed he didn't have a CBS 2 mic flag. As for the two women, I'm not sure who they are. The only woman that is fairly new is Kathryn Brown who is, I think, a freelance that has been with WCBS for a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Levinson CBS NEWSPATH Correspondent, New York was just on doing a report on the crash in the Hudson. I guess it saves WCBS money but just seems odd to not have a local WCBS reporter covering this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
