The Daily News reported that Jim Rosenfield will be leaving WCBS-TV on Thursday in a round of cutbacks for CBS Owned and Operated Stations. Rosenfield came back to WCBS-TV from WNBC-TV in 2005 to become a male anchor for the 5 and 11 o’clock newscasts. At WNBC-TV, he co-anchored with Sue Simmons for the 5 o’clock newscast “Live at Five” since 2000 when he then left WCBS-TV.
Since he joined WCBS-TV, his roles changed dynamically in 2006 as he was replaced with station’s former sportscaster Chris Wragge. Since the change, he anchored the 6 and noon broadcasts.
The Daily News is also reporting that WNBC will be dropping Lynda Baquero as her anchor role for the weekday 6 o’clock newscast. This decision was made before the “Sue Simmons incident.” Baquero has been with WNBC since 1995; she was first a street reporter, then became a weekend anchor and then replaced Michele Marsh’s anchor-role in summer of 2003.
Finally, the Daily News is also reporting that Jeff Rossen is leaving WABC-TV. He replied to the Daily News by saying
“My contract is up at the end of the month. I’ve decided to leave, Working with all the great people at WABC has been an amazing experience. I will miss them all. However, I’m ready to spread my wings on different platforms. And I’m excited about pursuing new opportunities.”
The question here is “will each of these reporters swap their jobs at each of the three stations?”
