NYC Radio: Debbie Rodriguez Leaving WCBS-FM Morning Show

Rodriguez, Shannon
WCBS 101.1 FM personality Scott Shannon Friday morning announced the first departure from the new morning Show.

Longtime WCBS AM/FM news anchor Debbie Rodriguez is leaving.  Her last day on the show is today.

Shannon made the announcement at the start of the show this morning.

However, Rodriguez is not leaving CBS Radio.  She'll be working part-time on newser WCBS 880 AM.  Taking over on the Shannon In The Morning Show is NYC radio veteran Suzy Cerone.  Cerone is filling the slot "as we figure out what we're doing," according to Shannon.

According to Shannon, "we're not giving her the boot".   Rather Rodriquez has apparently tired of her early daily commute form Rhinebeck, NY., especially during an especially difficult winter.   She apparently leaves as early as 1am to start her day.  The roundtrip commuting time totals almost 4 hours daily to the CBS Radio facility in the Hudson Square neighborhood of Manhattan.

Rodriquez has previously worked at the former WNSR-FM and MIX 105 doing hourly news updates. Prior to that her resume includes WGBB 1240 AM radio on Long Island and WHVW 950 AM in Poughkeepsie, New York.

    scott shannon is a bully and stresses everyone out. gave nolan a heart attack, the stress brought out the cancer in patty steele. Debbie is smart to quit, you could hear how poorly he treated her on the air. He is an uneducated ignorant bully !! They should give him the boot. Dan Taylor is so much better.

    Just heard Deborah on CBS network news. I'm down south in North Carolina tonight and have a local station on which carries CBS radio news and it was nice to hear Deb on coast to coast. She is a great news anchor! It's 4/5/2015
