FTVLive was the FIRST to tell you on Friday that WBBM in Chicago had parted ways with morning Anchor Susan Carlson.

With still 3 days left in the very important May ratings, the station kicked Carlson to the curb. ​The station has yet to make any official announcement about Carlson leaving. 

But, that might not even be close to the biggest Anchor change at the CBS O&O.​

Sources tell FTVLive that WBBM has started a quiet search to replace ​primary anchor Rob Johnson.

One source tells FTVLive that Johnson will be leaving the station in the very near future and the hunt for a replacement is one.​

No word yet if Johnson is leaving the station voluntarily or forcibly, but either way it is a blow to the station that continues to struggle in the ratings.

Johnson came to WBBM in August 2006 from WLS-TV where he worked since 1998 as weekend anchor and reporter.
