Bumped Up in the Big Apple

Jessica Moore has been named co-anchor of the 5:00 PM weekday newscast at WCBS, moving from her previous role as weekend anchor. The change is effective immediately.

Moore will co-anchor alongside Kristine Johnson. She will also continue to serve as a reporter, focusing on political and local stories in the tri-state area.

“Jessica is a thorough and thoughtful journalist. While she thrives during breaking news, it is never at the expense of her humanity,” said CBS New York news director Sarah Burke.

“I’m excited to join CBS New York’s weekday team and take on this new chapter in my career,” said Moore. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue telling meaningful stories and connecting with our viewers in this new role.”  

An employee of WCBS for the past nine years.
