You moved Juliette Goodrich into John Kessler’s spot. Bad move. I will be moving to another station.

John Kessler was the reason I watched CBC 5 . I think it is an amateur move on your part you will loose many of your viewers due to that. Plus all female cast not usually a successful formula nothing to under mind your current cast but John is a great anchor news man. You lost John and me I know a few of my friends will too.

I am shocked that John Kessler is no longer on your station. CBS 5 in the morning was full of news and light hearted banter. It was always sassy and funny. It made you smile when nothing but negativity is being broadcast.
What happened? Are you going to have the courtesy to tell your viewers what happened? We are not children and can handle the truth. Your ignoring all of the questions by your viewers does not show well for you and your executive staff.
I too will be watching another station. The pickings are slim in the morning but not to fear, you can and will be replaced. Shame on you for your lack of respect for your viewers.

I am also dissapointed that you are leaving us in the dark as to where is John Kessler. Poor Sidney is doing her best and the wear and tear shows. WHERE IS JOHN KESSLER!?

Whoever the new guy is, he is not a good fit to replace Julliette Goodrich. As for Sydney Kohara, she seems to carrying the load. Also, I hope you are building a new set; the current one is pretty uninteresting.
