<\/a> Audrina Bigos<\/p><\/div>\n

Audrina Bigos, a reporter and weekend news anchor from Charlotte, North Carolina, is joining CBS-owned WBBM-Channel 2 <\/a>as a general assignment reporter, starting August 24.<\/p>\n

Since 2011 Bigos has been at WCCB-TV, the CW affiliate in Charlotte. A 2010 graduate of the University of South Florida, she previously worked at WUSF-TV, the PBS station in Tampa.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am thrilled to welcome Audrina to our news team,\u201d Jeff Kiernan, vice president and news director at CBS 2, said in a statement Friday. \u201cShe is a talented reporter, who can work on multiple platforms to help tell original stories of what\u2019s happening in and around Chicago.\u201d<\/p>\n

In North Carolina, Bigos launched \u201cSMART Girls,\u201d a self-esteem project at the Charlotte Boys & Girls Club.\u00a0\u201cChicago is a reporter\u2019s dream city and I\u2019m happy that CBS 2 has chosen me to help tell the stories that matter,\u201d she was quoted as saying. \u201cI also look forward to becoming a part of this dynamic and diverse community and continuing my advocacy for girls.\u201d<\/p>\n

CBS 2 has had three news staff openings since February when Pamela Jones was not renewed <\/a>after 10 years as a reporter. That same month Kris Gutierrez packed it in<\/a> as morning news anchor to join KXAS-TV, the NBC-owned station in Dallas. And in April reporter Chris Martinez left <\/a>to become a Los Angeles-based correspondent for CBS Newspath.<\/p>\n

Still no word on a replacement<\/a> for Gutierrez alongside Erin Kennedy from 4:30 to 7 a.m. weekdays. \u201cOur search for a morning anchor is ongoing,\u201d a CBS 2 spokeswoman said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
