Update's


First up--- The layoffs at several CBS stations not only has affected former employee's but have cause issues in the programming side. The Sports Show which aired every weekend at 11pm- 11:30pm has now be incorperated with the 10pm newscast and is only hosted by Arran Anderson who has been with the station since 2006. Andrew Luria who reported for the show is now anchoring the weekend editions of Good Day Sacramento in the mornings and reporting for the weekday 10pm show three days a week. The Sports show can be seen around 10:45ish pm.


Candice Stanton is now taking a break from TV. She was a freelance reporter who worked for FOX40 News 2 days a week. No word what she's doing but she has come along way. She's been freelancing with FOX40 since November 2007. Candice also used to work as the morning reporter for KCRA 3 in the early 2000's she was also known as Candice Jones before she got married.


FOX40 News made a few changes to their 10pm news format. There are more sports and weather cut-ins which means a dab of more on-air time for Jim and Kristina.


John Lobertini who was a Sacramento Correspondent for CBS 5 in San Francisco, was sadly one of the people who got laid off from the CBS stations nationwide. Now the CBS 5 Live Truck is heading back home after a few years in Sacramento. He is expected to be in the market soon, and he also used to work for CBS 13 in Sacramento before joining CBS 5 in 1999.


KCRA has a new annoucer for the intro of their newscast, she has more of an accent. Personally I perferred the other annoucer. Also their backdrop has changed as where it used to be yellow-greenish with the mountains and parts of downtown Sacramento to just a plain blue 3 backdrop towards the left of the studio from the viewers side.


Eileen Javora, is now appearing only on the Morning newscast shows. Dirk Verdoorn and Julie Watts are now handling the noon newscast from the KCRA 3 Experience at Arden Mall.


And lastley, Kristin Marshall, joined KCRA from WBAL-TV NBC 11 in Baltimore, Maryland in February 2008, she is now doing traffic after Adrienne left her beat to report and anchor.

The layoffs occurred weeks ago, and it was mentioned in The Bee that the layoffs were going to trigger a cutback in sports programming.
