CBS 2's Morning Storm Watch

As planned, "The News This Morning" started extra early at 4:00am. Michael Pomeranz co-anchored with Cindy Hsu, who was in for Lisa Hill. David Rogers was live on the roof of the CBS Broadcast Center on the West Side (as he has been for all major snow storms this season). Tony Pann was in the studio with more on the forecast. Aimee Nuzzo was reporting from Hopatcong, NJ. Hazel Sanchez was in the newsroom with updates on school closings. Carrie Lee was at Metro Traffic with the road and rail situation (she was also on CBS 2 last night at 6:30). John Slattery was live in Coney Island, and Morry Alter was in Paramus, NJ.

The Big Snow Storm is Almost Here!

This evening "The Weekend News" came on the air at 6:30. Vince DeMentri and Amanda Grove were live in Studio 59A, the first time CBS 2's weekend newscast was in that studio (The Weekend News has always been from 59B since early last year). Team coverage of the big snow storm headed our way started off the newscast. Aimee Nuzzo reported from New Jersey and Sukanya Krishnan reported from New York. Craig Allen was in the studio with the forecast. And at the end of the newscast, it was announced that an extended edition of "Nightcast" would begin at 11:15pm (delayed fifteen minutes because of a CBS primetime movie). "The News This Morning" will start off tomorrow morning at 4:00, adding an additional hour to the newscast.

Aimee Nuzzo Promoted

The New York Post reports today that CBS 2 reporter Aimee Nuzzo has been promoted to New Jersey reporter.

Aimee Nuzzo: New NEWS 2 Reporter

While I was upstate New York, a new reporter joined NEWS 2. Her name is Aimee Nuzzo (last name is pronounced "News-Oh"). And last month, Hazel Sanchez joined NEWS 2. Coming in August: anchor Angela Rae from WFOR-TV 4 Miami to (temporarily?) replace Lisa Hill, and entertainment reporter Robyn Carter from WNYW-TV 5 New York.
