BehindNYNews 143 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 She will anchor the 7pm and 11pm WCVB broadcasts with Ed Harding and will also anchor the soon to launch 10pm news on WCVB's MeTV Boston. Many people were expecting the new NBC Boston to pick her up so this is a good get by WCVB. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/2/1/resurfacing-in-bean-town Where does this leave Heather Unruh? My guess is she will do the 4:30 and 6pm newscasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbnews 344 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I am so happy that the great Maria Stephanos is back on Boston TV. She will go great with Ed Harding and enhance WCVB's product. Although, I never thought they would hire her. She doesn't seem like the "WCVB" type. But, she will be a great fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickp 295 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I consider her hiring by WCVB to be a major coup. Ms. Stephanos may be the last “superstar” news anchor in Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mre29 1340 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Wow. Well done, WCVB! Also, did anyone else notice that they're calling the 10pm news "The 10 O'Clock News"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroCirq 148 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 In all my years, I'd never thought that WCVB would pull a stunt, let alone grab Stephanos after the ordeal she had at COX/FOX 25. Then again, Hearst does have the money to pull her in. So, congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mre29 1340 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Ordeal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroCirq 148 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Ordeal? Long story. The style CMG had did not mesh with her, but thankfully she had to sit through her non-compete clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEnglandOne 17 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Long story. The style CMG had did not mesh with her, but thankfully she had to sit through her non-compete clause. She sat through the rest of her contract, non-competes are not enforceable in Massachusetts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbnews 344 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 NewEnglandOne- can you post the full newscasts at 7 and 11pm on the night of her debut? Also some other WCVB newscasts?

brianpr3 173 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 yeah cause the way i see it is that cox got rid of her is because she is a legend and she was too big for the organization? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroCirq 148 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I haven't watched WFXT's news all that much in a while. Remind me what the CMG style is...? Let me put it this way..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=hi3RDMG-ePs;t=17 All kidding aside, Cox's style, pending on TV station, is a straight-no-chaser newscast. No fluff, lots of investigative reports, everything that a TV newscast is supposed to do. Unfortunately, that's not much of a case given the fact that personality sells. Hence why Stephanos was such a big commodity. She's pretty much the last best thing New England TV has to offer, otherwise it will be like WHDH with the rotating anchors and everything.....

Rusty Muck 4164 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 yeah cause the way i see it is that cox got rid of her is because she is a legend and she was too big for the organization? Did she leave by her own volition (i.e., sitting out the remainder of her contract) or did CMG let her go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4738 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Both parties were unable to come to terms on a new contract. She decided to look elsewhere. Management knowing good and well that she could bounce in market asked her to leave that day. In other words... She got lo-balled during contract renewal...and treated like shit. She called the bluff, and rolled the dice elsewhere... Looks like she won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BehindNYNews 143 Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Just watched the 11pm newscast and Maria fits in perfecting with the team. WCVB has an incredible team of anchors, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
