Rodriguez ousted in Early Show talent shakeup

November 30, 2010 by Veronica Villafañe

Maggie Rodriguez will no longer be part of “The Early Show” anchor team on CBS. She and co-anchor Harry Smith, as well as weatherman Dave Price have been taken off the morning show to give room for incoming Chris Wragge and Erica Hill, currently co-anchors of the Saturday edition.

Marysol Castro, who left Good Morning America in early September to spend more time with her family, returns to the air as the show’s new weathercaster.

According to the AP, these changes are part of an overhaul “to give the broadcast team a fresh look.”

Harry Smith will become primary substitute anchor for CBS’s news shows, including “The Evening News with Katie Couric” and “Face the Nation.”

CBS has said Maggie will continue with the network, but hasn’t said in what role.

Maggie started out as CBS network anchor of “The Saturday Early Show” in December 2007, before being named co-anchor of the weekday morning show.

The new team is scheduled to start on the air on Jan. 3, 2011.

    What a big mistake to take such a winning team off the air and then not say where they have gone! The new team may be OK but they will never take the place of the little "family" we have all grow to love and look forward to seeing each and every day.Please bring back Harry, Maggie & Dave! What a terrible way to end the year by taking off a winning team- Sham on you CBS!!!
