CBS Los Angeles (KCBS/KCAL) has announced that Rudabeh Shahbazi will join Pat Harvey as co-anchor of the weekday evening newscasts, stepping into the role previously held by Chauncy Glover, who passed away in November 2024.
Sheba Turk has been promoted to Shahbazi’s former morning anchor role on KCAL News Mornings. Beginning Monday, April 28, she will co-anchor alongside Jamie Yuccas.
A four-time Emmy Award-winning journalist, Shahbazi will co-anchor the 5:00 PM, 9:00 PM, and 11:00 PM newscasts with Harvey.
Turk will join the station’s eight-hour morning news block, including the CBS News Los Angeles streaming channel, and will anchor from 7:00–10:00 AM.
“This is an incredibly exciting time for CBS Los Angeles and our viewers,” Tim Wieland, regional president and general manager of CBS Los Angeles and CBS Colorado, said in a statement. “Our goal is to continue delivering high-quality local news, and strengthening our lineup with two anchors who are both exceptional storytellers and deeply engaged members of the community accomplishes that.”
