Chris Stover

I wonder what Susan Barnett’s contract says.

CBS3 officially announced in April that Philly-area native Barnett assumed the role left vacated by Alycia Lane - lead anchor at 6 and 11 p.m.

However, after the Larry Mendte saga, no such press release was…released. We, the unassuming viewers of local television news, were to assume that anchor/reporter Chris May permanently took the position.

Apparently, not so.

Philly.com is reporting (I’d link, but their video links don’t work too well…at all) that nixed Fox29 anchor Dave Huddleston allegedly met with station management at CBS3 for a lead anchor opening.

Hmm…

The Barnett-May team may not be bringing in the ratings that Larry and/or Alycia (depends on whom you ask, I suppose) brought in, and the station wants a fix.

Could Huddleston be that fix?
