Finally Made it to the Weekdays

Cindy Hsu has been working at WCBS (NYC) as an Anchor/Reporter for 3o years.

During that time, she has mainly been a Reporter during the week and an Anchor on the weekends.

Well, after 3 decades, Hsu is about to become a weekday Anchor at the CBS O&O.

The station named Hsu the anchor of CBS New York’s weekday 9:00 AM newscasts that will debut on WCBS-TV and the CBS News New York streaming channel starting September 12th.

WCBS is one of several CBS-owned stations that will be adding weekday 9:00 AM newscasts on their broadcast and streaming channels next month.

 “Cindy will be much more than the anchor of our 9:00 AM newscasts,” WCBS News Director Sarah Burke said. “Her heart and soul and three decades of experience reporting in the Tri-State area will be on full display each morning. The newscast will distinguish itself by going beyond the headlines of the day and putting a spotlight on organizations and people who are effecting positive change in our communities. We will also address topics that are near and dear to Cindy, including mental health awareness, education, childcare, adoption and seniors.”

“I am excited to embrace this opportunity to support and anchor a new daily newscast that reflects my values and passions, first and foremost as a community journalist, and also as a mother, dog mom and healthcare advocate,” Hsu said. “I want to thank Johnny Green (CBS New York president and general manager), Sarah Burke and all of my wonderful and talented colleagues for everything they do to make my time at CBS New York so enjoyable and meaningful.”

 It shows that if you’re good at your job and stick around 3 decades, you might get promoted off of weekends.
