When IHeart first added the WBZ schedule to the website, it listed the anchors on the weekend. I believe Tina was on both days.
Now it just lists the schedule as the WBZ morning news, midday news, etc. on Saturday & Sunday.

And another reporter I haven’t heard for some time is Karyn Regal.
I believe Karyn Regal is still there; she's one of their star reporters. It's Tina I'm concerned about.
At 'BZ these days, it's almost as if you never know whom you're gonna hear at any given time of a weekday. I think some of it has to do with the mandated month off certain iHeart personnel were required to take as a cost-cutting measure. But exactly HOW that "month" was to be distributed over time was never made public, let alone explicit. E.g., every so often, Laurie Kirby and/or Ben Parker will take a Monday off. This past Monday (10/19), Jeff Brown took the morning off. I seem to hear Karyn usually from Thursday on into the weekend, but, depending on who is/isn't available, she could be heard on other days.
Of late, Tina had been doing mid-days on Saturdays and Sundays pretty regularly, but not for the past 3-4 weekends. Hence my query. Suzanne Sausville has been covering on weekends for Tina. Suzanne and Madison Rogers sometimes fill in for Nicole Davis when she has to cover for Ben Parker.
No wonder 'BZ won't publish anchors names for particular shifts!
But a nice bio on everyone still working there would sure be nice.
WBZ did pick up Matt Shearer, former producer of the TJ Morning Show that was on the now-defunct WODS (former WBZ sister station). And reporter Kevin Coleman left the building at about the same time.
Art Cohen had been filing reports on weekends, but seems to have vanished. I think he's up in years, so he may have sequestered himself due to COVID-19; just a guess, though.
