Saturday Morning News Wiped From The Slate

A reader emailed asking me why there was no newscast this past Saturday on CBS-3? I was not able to get an answer. However, according to an update posted on Laura Nachman's website--CBS-3 has confirmed they've eliminated the Saturday morning newscast "to concentrate on other resources such as the upcoming weekday newscasts on Philly 57". Sounds more like a cutback to me...since not only are the on-air talent on the payroll but also cameras, audio, etc. What a shame...
