The CBS 3 Eyewitness News Thread

Sone odd anchoring fill ins:

 

Natasha has been filling in in the morning and at 9am alongside Janelle while Jim’s been in the UK on assignment. Janelle’s been soloing at noon.

 

Siafa and Ukee co-anchored together at 4 and 5 today.

 

Just seems odd that they wouldn’t send Siafa to morning to fill in and keep Natasha in evening to fill in.

 

Also still perplexed they haven’t handed off the noon to the 4pm team. Earlier this week, Jessica was subbing for Natasha, there’s no reason Siafa couldn’t have handled the noon.

Just to show how short staffed CBS3 is right now, they had Kate fill in all day Saturday and Llarisa fill in all day Sunday for weather (and is still on this morning!)

 

Also, with Jim and Janelle off this morning, Howard Monroe is filling in, in addition to Natasha still in for Jim, along with Victoria Woodill doing traffic.

Kozak will fill the weekend evening spot. I thought they might give that to Tammy. 

 

Is she still appearing on WBBM as well as KYW? I have no idea how that works for her.

 

Edit: I don't think she is filling in for WBBM anymore, but I don't know.

Her bio is still on WBBM's site, and I feel like I've seen her in the last month or two, but they have 5 full-timers, so she's not needed as often as before, but it doesn't necessarily mean never again.

It appears she is at KYW full time now, as clicking her bio on CBS Chicago's site just leads to a 404 not found page.

Looks like Eyewitness news 9am has been expanded to 10am. Just finished watching the broadcast and there's a Eyewitness news at 7pm according to passport. But tomorrow it showing inside edition so I'm confused lol 

My guess is that it's probably due to the midterm election tomorrow.

Meteorologist Bill Kelly will be taking over the 5, 6, 10 & 11PM newscasts beginning in January.  He comes from WJLA in DC.  Kate Bilo will do the noon and 4PM weather.

 I wonder if Bilo wanted to lighten up her schedule a bit and spend more time with family? She’s been there since 2011 and has been chief since Kathy Orr was let go.

KYW has relaunched morning news on WPSG- they're now airing the 7am hour that recently began airing online

Kind of surprised they haven’t had the morning team hand off the noon to the 4pm team yet. With Kate handling weather at noon and 4pm now, it would make sense for uniformity/consistency purposes. Plus the morning team has a lot on their plate, 4:30-8:00am, national show cut-ins through 9am, news at 9am. That’s essentially 5 hours of on-air time.

From what I've watched recently, Natasha is doing the 9AM show solo, while still co-anchoring at 4PM, rather than the morning crew. I think that started around the same time the 7AM hour launched.

Glad to hear that’s the case, but surprised to hear she’s doing the 9am instead of the 12noon, which would make more sense in my opinion. Also surprised that Siafa’s only responsibilities are the 4pm.
