<\/a> Marissa Bailey and Erin Kennedy<\/p><\/div>\n

Marissa Bailey, who\u2019s been weekend morning news anchor at WBBM-Channel 2<\/a> since 2012, has been promoted to Monday-through-Friday morning co-anchor alongside Erin Kennedy at the CBS-owned station.<\/p>\n

Bailey replaces Lionel Moise, whose contract was not renewed after two years at CBS 2. His last day on the air was Friday.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the latest shuffle on the perennially low-rated morning show, which tied for last place in the most recent Nielsen sweep. CBS 2\u2019s overall morning viewership declined 17 percent from last year.<\/p>\n

Starting June 26, Bailey and Kennedy will co-anchor from 4:30 to 7 a.m. and from 11 to 11:30 a.m. weekdays, with meteorologist Megan Glaros and traffic reporter Derrick Young, according to news director Jeff Kiernan.<\/p>\n

Succeeding Bailey as solo weekend morning anchor will be Suzanne LeMignot, a veteran reporter and fill-in anchor at the station. \u201cSuzanne has done a great job filling in for Marissa while she has been on maternity leave and will continue field reporting during the week,\u201d Kiernan told staffers in an email.<\/p>\n

Kennedy joined CBS 2 in May 2014 from WKYC, the NBC affiliate in Cleveland. She replaced Susan Carlson, who now anchors weekends for NBC-owned WMAQ-Channel 5.<\/a><\/p>\n

Moise joined the station in August 2015 from WLTX, the CBS affiliate in Columbia, South Carolina. He succeeded Kris Gutierrez, who left after three years to join KXAS, the NBC-owned station in Dallas.<\/p>\n
