New WCVB Weekday Eyeopener Anchor?

[BoscoGoldBear]

Now that Ed Harding is the new 5, 5:30 and 11 anchor for NewsCenter 5 (I'm not sure that Natalie will give up doing the solo 6 o'clock newscast) and Anthony Everett is the fulltime Chronicle anchor, who takes over at 5 a.m. and switches off the half-hour GMA updates with Heather Unruh (who did all half-hour updates until now)?

My guesses are:

Steve Lacey (current weekend Eyeopener anchor)
David Brown (who subs on weekday mornings on both news and weather)

BTW, what happened to JC? Since she's been back, she hasn't been on any more than twice a week; so far she's only been on Monday. Is her baby sick?

And can we expect upgrades for Dave Epstein and Mike "Wank" Wankum? ???

My inital thought when I heard it was Steve Lacey. Seems like he'd be a good fit and got lots of face time over the holiday so I think hes prepared to step up. I can't see David Brown doing it. I think also Natalie must be done or not pulling in good enough numbers. Theres no way she'd want a co anchor willingly I don't think. Epstein I think is just a part time fill in guy now? and Wankum is doing Weekend Eyeopener and I've seen him more regularly doing fill in work.

He will also be co-anchoring the 6:00 news.

wcvb always gives weekday jobs to people who have been in the building for more than a year. most likely dave brown or bob halloran. can't see them going with lacey who still hasn't unpacked his bag yet.
