WCBS-TV changing look, anchors on Monday
WCBS/Ch. 2 is preparing to debut its seventh new look and 11 p.m. news anchor combination in the nearly ten years since its headline-grabbing mass firing of seven anchors and reporters. On Monday, Ch. 2 is set to premiere its new anchor teams, featuring Dana Tyler and Jim Rosenfield as lead anchors, and a retooled graphics and set. Current noon anchor Cindy Hsu and morning anchor Mario Bosquez will be demoted to reporting positions, but an updated Ch. 2 anchor webpage suggests current morning anchors Jim Ryan and Shon Gables will keep their anchoring duties. The station has not announced its new weekend team. On Tuesday, polarizing Ch. 2 weatherman Dave Price, who delivered a weather schtick featuring music and occassional dancing, left the morning news while alluding to the coming break-up of the morning "2 Crew" of the past few years. "You know when we've been in sync or at each others' throats, and that's what's made our program so different," Price said. "There are no pretenses here. It is what it is -- for better and sometimes for worse. That's hard to find around the dial, and I've loved that about our show." Price will be replaced by Audrey Puente but continues on the CBS "Early Show." Posted by ECTVN on 4/14/2006 -
