You now officially have enough to...
PLAY THE FEUD!
Chutes and Ladders?
WOIO has added Mike Mason from Alaska as an investigative reporter. He started last month.
Meanwhile, Jim Nelson hasn't been on 19 since August.

Nelson's gone.
Caitlin McCarthy has taken over as weekend evening anchor.
Mason joins Sara Goldenberg on 19/43's investigator team.
Sounds like she'll also be an anchor as well, perhaps taking the weekend PM gig from McCarthy, who then was merely a placeholder.
Hart's a Cleveland native, CSU grad, and interned at WEWS, so she certainly has local bona fides.

Jason has emerged as morning meteorologist on WBZ in Boston.
Guess there was a bunch of layoffs at Scripps stations again according to FTVlive. Wonder if WEWS lost more?
I don't even bother watching News 5 at 4, as it's nothing but a bunch of Scripps News produced stories replayed with the News 5 branding. Guess whoever anchored that time slot was cut during the last set of layoffs?
Katie Ussin has been anchoring the 4p news for awhile now (and also does the 5p with Delaun Dillard).
The 4p news does cover local stories, but it is filled out with Scripps stuff as well.
I would hazard to guess Scripps does that with all their other stations that have 4p newscasts as well.
Remember also, TV5 (and other Scripps stations) also simulcast The Debrief - Scripps News' signature nightly newscast of record - at 7p with Scripps News (seen in CLE/NEO on WVPX 23.4),
More new blood at WOIO CBS 19/WUAB CW 43:
Meredith Garofalo has been brought in as a meteorologist/science reporter.
She's a local (native of Parma, graduate of Trinity High), has the AMS seal, came over from NY1 in NYC (their version of Spectrum News), and cut her teeth in small markets before that.
For now, she's a Swiss Army knife, filling in and tag teaming at the weather desk to get her feet wet, plus doing some science stuff on the side.

Between 19 and 43, Reserve Square pumps out 12 hours of live local newscasts per weekday (which is even more than Fox 8's 11 1/2 hours) - they need bodies to keep things moving.
Does Meredith's hire mean Kelly Dobeck moves to news anchoring full-time?
Dobeck has been anchor first, weather on the side for awhile now. She only does the weather every so often these days (probably just to keep the skills sharp as a fill-in).
Reserve Square - as of this moment - has 6 full time meteorologists (Jason Nicholas, Jeff Tanchak, Samantha Roberts, Jon Loufman, Erika Paige, and now Meredith Garofalo). and if you count Dobeck's occasional turns at the big wall, that makes 7 in the weather office.
I'd say they're well covered.
