Anna Davlantes is in delicate contract talks with NBC-owned WMAQ-Channel 5. A Channel 5 spokeswoman first confirmed Davlantes' exit, but then shortly after called to say contract talks with the weekend newscast co-anchor were ongoing.
Davlantes was offered a contract renewal, the Channel 5 spokeswoman said.
Davlantes could not be immediately reached for comment.
She has been at WMAQ since 2000. She started out as a general assignment reporter, but was subsequently elevated to a weekend co-anchor job. She also filled in as a co-anchor weekdays on occasion.
