On Wednesday, NEWS 2's desk was changed. The new desk now has less of the wood showing on the surface, and that has been changed to a lighter wood color. Other changes include more monitors, and a monitor switching system, which allows the anchors to change what their monitors show. All changes were made for CBS Sports, which will be using the desk for football, and possibly other sports (when the changes were being made, NEWS 2 broadcast from their morning Studio 59B). The desk is used on CBS's The Early Show, NEWS 2 At Noon, 4:00, 5:00, 6:00, and 11:00. Tomorrow: Don Piccin could possibly replace Clark Logan as morning traffic reporter, at least temporarily. At Noon, Todd McDermott will probably co-anchor with Cindy Hsu this week. And, it is likely that Angela Rae will co-anchor NEWS 2 at 5:00 with Todd McDermott, starting tomorrow.

Dennis Cunningham and Clark Logan Leave NEWS 2
Yesterday on NEWS 2 at 4:00, NEWS 2 movie reviewer, Dennis Cunningham, said that he was leaving NEWS 2, after over 20 years (he said he joined in 1978)! A few minutes of old video clips were then shown of Dennis Cunningham interviewing many big stars. Also leaving NEWS 2 is Metro Traffic Reporter, Clark Logan. He's been with NEWS 2 for over 2 years, joining when Eileen Marchese Cohen left. Video clips were also shown of Clark Logan's years at NEWS 2 doing traffic in the morning. For more about Clark Logan, click here. I'll have some snapshots of Dennis Cunningham, Clark Logan, and Lisa Hill leaving coming soon!

Lisa Hill Does Her Last NEWS 2 At Noon
At the end of NEWS 2 at Noon, Cindy Hsu told viewers that it was Lisa Hill's last NEWS 2 at Noon show, but she will do NEWS 2 at 5:00 today and tomorrow, and NEWS 2 at 11:00 tomorrow night. Cindy also said that she will be back in January, 2001. Also at the end, they had a graphic with two hearts which said, "Good Luck Lisa, from everyone at News 2!" If there is any special farewell to Lisa Hill tomorrow, I'll put pictures on my website this weekend.

More On Mike Pomeranz
As reported earlier, Mike Pomeranz will be joining NEWS 2 as morning and noon co-anchor with Cindy Hsu, starting the last week of this month. Mike Pomeranz comes from FOX's WFLD-TV in Chicago. Before he began his television career, he played five seasons of professional baseball, as pitcher for the Minnesota Twins, Pittsburgh Pirates, Chicago Cubs and Baltimore Orioles, but a shoulder injury ended his career. More information on Mike Pomeranz can be found here.
Another New Anchor Joins NEWS 2
Last Thursday, The New York Daily News reported the following:
WCBS/Ch. 2 continues to add to its on-air roster. The news operation has hired Chicago anchorman Michael Pomeranz to handle morning and noon anchor shifts with Cindy Hsu. Pomeranz joins the station the last week of this month after three years at Chicago's WFLD-TV, where he was also a morning and afternoon anchor. Pomeranz is the latest in a string of recent hires at Ch. 2 as the station attempts to shore up its newscasts under the direction of news director Joel Cheatwood.
It appears as if Mike Pomeranz will co-anchor NEWS 2 This Morning and NEWS 2 at Noon with Cindy Hsu, starting August 28th, and Todd McDermott and Angela Rae will only co-anchor NEWS 2 at 5:00 (Angela Rae starts this Monday).

Lisa Hill Leaves Later This Month, But Will Return In A Few Months!
Mike has just informed me that Lisa Hill, NEWS 2 at Noon and 5:00 co-anchor, got married on New Year's Day 2000, and found out she was pregnant a few weeks later (she's having a son next month). Lisa Hill will be leaving on Friday, August 18th on maternity leave, then Angela Rae will take her place at noon and at 5:00. But, Lisa Hill has said that she will come back to NEWS 2 a few months later! Now we don't know if Angela Rae will stay at NEWS 2, or if she'll go back to WFOR Miami, when Lisa Hill comes back. We'll have to wait and see.
