Megan did all the weather today 4:30-7 and 11 in the studio 5 6 and 10 in the mobile weather lab near her house in NW Indiana

 

What the heck? They don't have anyone else available in a pinch?

 

Do they necessarily need someone in the Mobile Weather Lab? Surely they could scrap the segment when there’s no one available.

I'm guessing they couldn't get away with 'no weather forecast tonight, you have to wait until tomorrow. sorry (not sorry).' This seems like a last minute decision (maybe whomever was coming in that night was very sick and they dispatched the mobile weather lab to NWI, etc...).

Rob Johnson was off tonight, and for the first time in forever, the remaining anchor did not go solo. Brad Edwards sat alongside Irika. Meanwhile, Robb Ellis was in for Mary Kay, and Brad accidentally called him Rob Elgas when signing off. Awkward.

Not complaining, but what is CBS News national correspondent Adriana Diaz doing anchoring WBBM's morning news right now?  And they just said she'll be there the rest of the week filling-in for Erin Kennedy.  She's very good, too good for this, one would think.

 

But hey, if they're gonna start using Chicago based network correspondents as fill-in anchors, I can only hope Dean Reynolds is next.  Always wanted to see him in for Rob Johnson a time or two.

The odd thing about it is that she essentially shadowed them the day before she began filling in.

Two new reporters. They'll never be heard from again.

 

Quote

Two new reporters have been hired at CBS-owned WBBM-Channel 2 — and both happen to be graduates of the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University. Starting Monday is Tara Molina, just in from WEWS, the ABC affiliate in Cleveland, where she specialized in “topical investigative reporting.” Molina previously worked at WFTX, the Fox affilliate in Ft. Myers, Florida. Joining CBS 2 next month is Mugo Odigwe, a freelance reporter at KOVR, the CBS-owned station in Sacramento, California. She previously worked for KMOV, the CBS affiliate in St. Louis, and KGAN, the CBS affiliate in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

From morning anchor to midday anchor, fill-in anchor demoted to field reporter, Roseanne Tellez finally got out of WBBM, before they could assign her to mopping floors.

So pissed at Channel 2.  She should have been Rob's co-anchor all this time.  Instead, she hadn't even been filling-in on the anchor desk anymore.  Reminds me of how they treated Mary Ann Childers - they hire someone great, management changes a couple hundred times, and before you know it they don't even know who they have right under their nose.  Idiots.  Out of town IDIOTS!

YUP! When Roseanne would fill in with Rob, the newscast seemed way better. She should've been the evening news anchor when Diann was booted out. Would've been 11 years of a great thing...

I hope she does turn up at Fox 32. She would be a huge asset to them.

 

I wonder who she would be replacing at 32?? Kristen maybe? Or will they be creating a new anchor/reporter role at 32 for Roseanne.

Robert Feder said Insiders are saying she'll go to FOX32 and FTVLIVE.com just repeating what Robert said.  Why not NBC5? No shade to

Allison Rosati, but um...Who going to be next after her?  I don't want to be that person...., but is she really a big deal in Chicago?  We hear all about the

ABC7 folks and here & there are CBS2 people. Of course, you have WGN and then FOX32 they do try.  It just seems NBC5 people don't get the cache like ABC7.
