Geoffrey 873 Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Just got the info and posted it here: http://newsbyte2.blogspot.com/2009/10/rob-morrison-to-join-cbs-2-news.html
NewsJunkie247 1 Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 That is great news! I always liked Rob Morrison on Today in New York and I am glad that he will be back on the air in the New York market.
bc485 87 Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 I do not see why WCBS made this hire. I'm sure that Rob Morrison is a competent anchor, but the weekend morning newscasts seemed to be running smoothly with Mary Calvi, Cindy Hsu, and Megan Glaros. I'm sure that Cindy Hsu was just temporarily filling the seat left vacant by Steve Bartelstein, but she is a true pro and deserves a regular anchor slot. However, for some reason the current management team at WCBS does not feel that way. It's disappointing to see a veteran on-air personality (16 years at WCBS) treated so poorly. Hopefully Cindy will continue to fill-in occasionally at the anchor desk.
Harry Houdini 0 Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Isn't that the MO for channel 2 since the Michelle Marsh Days? Maybe Morrison will help fill in for newsguy they just arrested there. Or hold the leash on the late Mr. Letterman.
NYNews 54 Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Well the website has been updated and finally they have Cindy listed as Anchor/Reporter.
nynewslover 280 Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Finally some one to fill that slot permantaly!! Hopefully he will last and eventually move up to a weekday anchor at WCBS
njlady 1 Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 I really like Cindy Hsu and am sorry to see her leave the weekend post but I have always liked Rob Morrison so nice to see him back in ny!
cbs2idiots 24 Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 I dont understand the love-hate relationship CBS2 have with Cindy Hsu. They could have Rob and Mary anchor together weekend evenings and leave Cindy with Mary in the mornings.
nynewslover 280 Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Who knows? Maybe Cindy Hsu does not want a full time anchor postion?
bc485 87 Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 I don't know for sure, but it seems that Cindy is a real pro at the anchor desk and wants to be there. What I do not understand is why they have Mary Calvi on weekend mornings AND evenings. It's especially strange since they have a separate weather anchor for weekend mornings (Megan Glaros) and evenings (Elise Finch). Why do they need two weather people on weekends, but only a single female anchor? It does not make sense.
TrfRptr 3 Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 You ever think maybe Hsu doesn't want to be a primary anchor, that maybe she prefers working the field? Don't be so quick to judge that CBS2 is dissing her. I'd imagine if she wasn't happy with a promotion to anchor she'd have left by now, considering her tenure.
Geoffrey 873 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Posted October 5, 2009 The NY media beat writers should do a better job checking their facts: http://newsbyte2.blogspot.com/2009/10/dont-worry-about-facts.html
NYNews 54 Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 He was a good reporter at WNBC, but other than that I don't see what's appealing about Rob. He seems too stiff as an anchor, even when he was at WNBC.

He seems too stiff as an anchor, even when he was at WNBC. CBS always has stiff anchors - Don Dahler is like a piece of wood! At least Rob is much easier on the eyes...... http://movies.msn.com/movies/movie-photos/practical-magic.2/?gallery=17540&photo=a3cf81ff-b0d2-4e67-80ee-185b9a4c9c7f
