I sent my congrats to Rob this morning. He should do fine.

I wonder if Cindy will take over the helm on the weekends? There's no one else with past anchoring experience, besides Lou Young. Maybe they could be a team.

No mention of Cindy Hsu.

Below the above article was a link about hiring a new weekend anchor at WNBC, also the potential candidate has apparently spoken to other stations in the city as well.

Remind me - isn't Rob's wife the AM business reporter on WCBS?

[IceManNYR 240]

Yes she a reporter with CBS MoneyWatch.com and appears on WCBS weekday mornings doing the business reports.

 

She has several reports on the website,

God that picture of Rob is horrible. Did he have botched plastic surgery or something? When he anchored in Hartford he looked human... in that photo, not so much.

Here's Rob from Wednesday,

OK he's looking a little more normal there. Somebody apparently went a little Photoshop happy.

That photo was taken when he worked at WNBC. You should see how Sue looks.
