NBC10 hires new anchor
Molly Eichel, Daily News Staff Writer
Give a warm Philly welcome to Chris Cato, the newest member of the NBC10 team. Cato will anchor the 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscast on weekends with Denise Nakano, and contribute to weekday reports.
Cato comes to Philly from CBS affiliate WSPA in Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina, where he had worked since 2005. As well as anchoring broadcasts in S.C., Cato was the station's Community Watchdog reporter. This year, Cato was named 2012 Reporter of the Year by the South Carolina Broadcasters Association.
Cato began his career in Panama City, Florida, but is originally from Oneonta, Alabama. His Twitter profile says he has a 'deep love of Crimson Tide football." How long will it be until he's bleeding Eagles green? He will move to Philly with his wife, Carmen, and son.
Did someone leave NBC 10?— junethe4th- I hope that he has more personality than the guy they hired for weekday mornings. NBC10 lost me when they lost Stacey Stauffer and Terry Ruggles.
— fischman - Is every news anchor gay these days? Not that there is anything wrong with that!— elfman
- Does anyone even watch ch. 10 anymore?— jimmymack
- On another note, I'll never watch Cahnnel 10 again.. After Renee Chenault Fattah's son was in the news, CBS, ABC, Inquirer and Daily News ALL ran the story except Channel 10!!! Frauds!!....— elfman
- Bring back Connie Cola— NewMick314
- Yes it's not the same without Stacey. They better hire a few more people if they want to fill the 12 noon to 4pm block with news.— Phillies2008WSChamps
- he's 18 yrs old, right?— Tyrone Biggums
- Anyone is better than that piece of plastic Tim Lake. What a robot that guy was. Zero personality.
— thorshuffle - Couldn't they find a mixed race female or are they all working in TV already? Anyway, Good Luck fella, you'll need it around here. We can be pretty brutal.— sillybilly
- Need to find a mixed race Hispanic who is LGTB or the Rainbow Coallition will not be pleased! Still no one will watch...— Obamasfool
- Replace Fattah.— mick1219
Nobody in Philly was qualified for this job so they went to the burgeoning metropolis of Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina to find this doofus?— MODEREATER- First that dweeb from Arkansas on CBS3 and now some doofus from Alabama. OK, nobody in Philly qualified. Ain't no yankees qualified? All they can find is rednecks? — FredLeonard
- They got rid of Stacey Stauffer who was fantastic, only to hire this guy. Stacey should definitely be suing them for age discrimination.— fischman
