CBS-3 morning anchor, Liz Keptner, says goodbye to the dawn patrol on May 28th, according to this morning's "Philadelphia Daily News" article by Dan Gross. Keptner says she wants to spend more time with her family.
Keptner joined channel 3 in 2005 as the Lehigh Valley reporter then began to substitute anchor for Susan Barnett who was the previous anchor for the early-morning broadcast. Barnett was actually demoted to make way for Keptner...Barnett relegated to reporter. That only lasted several months when the Larry Mendte/Alycia Lane saga blew up and both were removed from the air. Barnett was relegated back to anchor status in the 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. anchor chair where she has remained.

Darn, I'll miss having her on the morning news everyday. Wonder who we'll get now? It would be great if Pat Ciarrocci would come back to mornings.
Hopefully the station will promote from within like they did with Liz; maybe Anne-Marie Green?
I agree! Pat would be great. Although, Natasha Brown isn't bad either.
So now CBS3 needs a sports personality, meteorologist, and morning news anchor.
My vote is for Pat too. Her role has been diminished the last several years. Being no stranger to morning viewers, she'd be a perfect choice provided she's even interested. Otherwise, maybe they'll promote Natasha Brown. Wonder how Sue Serio would do if offered the position?
No big deal, quite frankly. Local TV newscasts are a complete waste of time, anyone that watches them must like having their intelligence insulted. Too many other options today to get the information important in one's life at one's own schedule, not at a schedule that's being dictated to you by some smarmy news director of a TV station.
