I think the full lineup has yet to be announced at WOIO, but Catherine looks to be a sure bet for mornings.

It's really interesting to see all the stations make changes in both AM and PM slots. The biggest mad scramble in the market since the CBS/FOX switch back in 1994.

Don't be surprised if more changes are made this year, but hopefully things are settled after a while.

Well, Bosley was doing the morning show with Brian Duffy this morning, so I think that's a done deal.

Besides the network swap, we had Wilma Smith, Lou Maglio, and David "Mossman" Moss all jumping ship from 5 to 8, Denise Dufala going from 8 to 19, and Lee Jordan going from "The Morning Exchange" to the co-anchor chair at WEWS all around that same timeframe (1994).

18 years later, those folks are still at those posts.

For some perspective...Robin Swoboda went from 8 (2nd go-round) to 5 to The Fish to 8 (3rd go-round) to 3 all within that time span.
