NEW YORK -- Maggie Rodriguez has been named co-anchor of The Early Show. She replaces Hannah Storm, who said last week that she plans to leave the show.
Rodriguez, who has been an anchor and reporter in Los Angeles and Miami, joined CBS this year as co-anchor of The Saturday Early Show. She will take over on The Early Show on Jan. 7.
CBS News said that negotiations with Storm are continuing to find her a new spot at the network.
Rodriguez will join Harry Smith and Julie Chen. Since joining CBS in June, she also has done stories for the CBS Evening News and Sunday Morning plus been a substitute anchor for the weekend evening newscast.
"In the past six months, Maggie has proved to be a remarkably good fit in morning news," CBS News president Sean McManus said. "Her tenacity as a journalist and her authenticity and warmth will serve Maggie and CBS News very well."...

NEW YORK -- The Early Show acted quickly to add a new member to the on-air staff, promoting Saturday Early Show co-anchor Russ Mitchell to news anchor for CBS' weekday breakfast broadcast.
The announcement was made Thursday, three days after the eye said co-anchor Rene Syler will leave the show Dec. 22.
Mitchell's arrival Jan. 2 will help to more clearly define the roles at the morning news show, which has been mired in third place since its beginning and suffering from the sometimes awkward four co-anchor setup that it has had. Having a permanent news anchor, such as NBC's Today and ABC's Good Morning America, gives Early Show the ability to use co-anchors Harry Smith, Julie Chen and Hannah Storm better than had been done.
"The fact of the matter is that on this program right now, it's difficult to know when the news ends and the program begins and where the program begins and the news ends," vp morning broadcasts Steve Friedman said.
