Rodriguez promoted to the "Early Show"

Maggie Rodriguez left the anchor chair at WFOR in Miami to become co-anchor of CBS’s “The Saturday Early Show” in June and less than six months later, she’s been promoted to weekday mornings.

CBS announced yesterday that Maggie will be replacing Hannah Storm on the “Early Show.” She’ll be joining Harry Smith and Julie starting January 7.

“This is my dream job,” says Maggie in a release. “I get to utilize the journalistic skills I’ve developed over the past 15 years and have fun at the same time with feature segments.”

During the past six months, she has also reported for the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric and has anchored the weekend edition of the Evening News.
