PhillyWatch 238 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 It definitely seems like a covid case within the active members of the studio- could be anyone from on-screen talent to a camera operator to a producer, but it's about the only reason they'd be separating everyone again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillyWatch 238 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Noticing during the 4 that they’ve returned the anchors to the desk with no distancing side note: also noticed in some clearly dated soda aisle b-roll a few bottles of “Diet Pepsi Jazz”, which was an interesting mid-2000’s throwback 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillynewslover 124 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Sorry, this article is paywalled; I can't access it either. However, it says that CBS3 and the CW57's general manager Brandin Stewart is leaving after being with the station since 2019. The station and its newscast definitely improved under his leadership, and I hope it continues after he departs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon to be disclosed.” Stewart, through a spokesman, declined an interview request. McMahon said Stewart will depart at the end of the year, at which time group department heads will oversee the station until a new leader can be found. She said that “finding the next president and GM of CBS Philadelphia is a priority and we will keep you informed as the process moves forward.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took a LOT of shit from UnFriend and DumbDunn. It's the least CBS can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillynewslover 124 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Eyewitness News now airs for three hours on Saturday mornings. They added another hour at 9a today. Sister stations KTVT and WFOR also added newscasts. Looks like they just won't be airing the last hour of Dream Team anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FCC relaxed E/I programming restrictions in the past couple of years. Stations are able to offload 1 hour of E/I programming to one of their digital channels, leaving only two hours required each week on the main program stream. It looks like ViacomCBS is now taking advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillyWatch 238 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Has there been any word on Tammie Souza joining the weather team full-time? I noticed in a weather promo she's featured prominently alongside the three other female forecasters. I know she was also pulling double duty filling in on other CBS O&O's since WCAU gave her the shaft. Glad to see her (possibly) staying in Philly.

phillynewslover 124 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I noticed her in the promo, too, alongside Llarisa Abreu, Lauren Casey, and Kate Bilo, all of whom are full-time meteorologists. Speaking of freelancers, has anyone seen former weekend morning meteorologist Matt Peterson on lately? He filled in a while ago, and when someone asked why (because he left in August), he said he was back part-time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
