[One bit]No one is supposed to know it yet, but the anchor team of the future is taking shape at Fox Chicago: Anna Davlantes and Kori Chambers,
who host opposite halves of the station’s Good Day Chicago morning show, are expected to be named anchors of Fox Chicago’s revamped noon
newscast, starting in September. Meteorologist Bill Bellis will deliver weather. Insiders say Davlantes and Chambers also are in line to anchor
a new 5pm weekday newscast that’s on the drawing board for 2013. Davlantes joined Fox Chicago in 2009 after nine years at NBC 5. She currently
anchors Good Day Chicago from 7 to 10am with Corey McPherrin. Chambers, who joined the station in 2008 from WDIV-TV in Detroit, anchors Good
Day Chicago solo at 4:30am and with Dawn Hasbrouck from 5 to 7am. Former noon news anchor Jan Jeffcoat, who left last month after her contract
was not renewed, is slated to host The List, a syndicated magazine show premiering this fall. Look for Patrick Elwood, who still anchors at
noon, to return to full-time reporting duties.[More juicy goodness inside]
