Weekend "Early Show" personalities, including Chris Wragge and Erica Hill, will host the daily show in the interim.

I think "axed by CBS" is too strong a phrase, as the outgoing team will remain at the
network doing other things (some already determined, others TBA):

And the new group of hosts/anchors/readers are not "interim" but "permanent."
Well OK, as permanent as can be until the next shakeup. ;D

Well, whatever they throw on there, it probably won't make much of a difference. Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira talking and giggling about "package size" over on NBC is a mismatch with whatever CBS puts on the air:

Chris has been the main anchor at WCBS and did double-duty hosting the CBS Saturday Early Show.

Still sounds like a major shake up all around.

Well, here's your answer as far as Wragge's future on WCBS-TV is concerned:

I noticed that Chen wasn't touched. Could that be because her husband is a big shot executive at CBS?

Or perhaps the fact the she was moved off the show over the summer.

"Hubby" must have given her a tip that heads were going to roll at CBS.

Never missing an opportunity for an unfounded conspiracy theory. :

I think it has more to do with her having yet another show on the network.
