Seems a Bit Sus at CBS O&Os (Patreon)

With all the cuts by CBS parent company Paramount, we have to wonder a bit.

Just this week, FTVLive reported on two very big announced retirements at a couple of big market O&Os.

Are they really retirements, or are they buyouts?

At KYW in Philly, longtime Anchor Jim Donovan announced that he is retiring from the CBS O&O.

"I've had the privilege of living my dream every single day," Donovan said. If you're living your dream, why would you walk away?

Then, the next day, WFOR (Miami) Anchor Eliott Rodriguez announced that he is also retiring.

Sure, it could be a coincidence that two longtime CBS O&O Anchors announce they are retiring at the same time.

But, both have the said that their last day at the station is December 19th. Funny that they announced at the same time and their exit day is the exact same day.

When Donovan announced his retirement, he was quoted as saying, "I'm grateful to my CBS Philadelphia family and to the viewers who welcomed me into their homes..."

This is what Rodriguez had to say, "I'm grateful to CBS Miami, to my colleagues, and to the people of South Florida for allowing me to be part of their lives."

I don't know, it all seems just a bit too perfect to me.

I've been around this business to know that what they want you to see is not always what is really happening.

Just saying....
