A reader alerted us they saw WFOR reporter Natalia Zea’s Facebook status said she’s the new weekend anchor of CBS4 News. We looked into and also checked out her Twitter account, she confirmed the news there as well.

Zea will be anchoring the Saturday and Sunday evening editions of WFOR CBS4 News.

I also noticed that Zea had sent out a tweet on September 12th saying she’ll be anchoring CBS4 News both days that weekend.

This is an interesting development to say the least. Natalia Zea replaces Gwen Belton who joined WFOR in September 2008 and has anchored the weekend newscasts since then.

We don’t really know the reason behind this switch but at least our tipster claims that Belton wants to be a reporter.

Belton came to WFOR after a 2-year stint as a reporter for CBS Newspath. Before that as most of you know she was one of the anchor/reporters at WPLG. She left WPLG in the fall of 2005 when the station opted not to renew her contract. She was joined WPLG in August 1998.

Natalia Zea joined WFOR in November 2006 from WOAI San Antonio.

CBS4 News Sounds Different

You might have noticed that the news on CBS4 sound different lately. A little before sweeps month started CBS4 News got a sound makeover. They dropped their news theme of 8 years and replaced it with a custom package.

The cut used in the open and bumps is from a song written for WFOR by 615 Music called “The Best Thing About Home”. The song is used in current station promos.
